TradeDay Max Contract Size
The Simple Answer
TradeDay sets position limits by account size on its Quick Pay evaluation, from 5 contracts on the 50k account up to 15 contracts on the 150k account, while its Fast Pass evaluation starts smaller and scales up by 1 contract per $2,000 in EOD profit.
TradeDay also applies a temporary metals restriction on Micro Gold and Micro Silver across all account tiers.
How Position Limits Work
Quick Pay
This is a fixed-limit evaluation with intraday trailing drawdown: 5 contracts on the 50k account, 10 on the 100k account, and 15 on the 150k account, each with a $3,000, $6,000, or $9,000 profit target respectively and a trailing max drawdown of $2,000, $3,000, or $4,500.
Fast Pass
This End of Day evaluation starts smaller and scales the funded position limit upward: 2 contracts on the 50k account, 3 on the 100k account, and 4 on the 150k account, each gaining +1 contract per $2,000 in EOD profit.
Temporary Metals Restriction
Effective February 11th, 2026, TradeDay caps the max position limit in Micro Gold (MGC) and Micro Silver (SIL) at 4 lots across all account tiers, 50k, 100k, and 150k, regardless of the account’s general position limit.
Final Thoughts
TradeDay’s two evaluation paths take different approaches to position sizing: Quick Pay offers a higher fixed limit from the start, while Fast Pass starts smaller but scales upward as EOD profit accumulates.
