How much are trading commissions?

Modified on Wed, 8 May at 12:53 PM

TradeDay does not charge any additional commission on top of the commission charged by its broker.

Please note we include simulated commission in the calculation of your Profit and Loss (PnL) during the evaluation. This simulated commission is part of our brokers trading environment, and matches exactly what you would be charged when trading in the live markets (our Funded Live option). 

The net PnL is your profit or loss plus commission, we use this metric because we want to evaluate if your trading strategy has the potential to make money when funded in the live markets (our Funded Live option), and make the experience of the evaluation as close as possible to how it will be when you are trading live (our Funded Live option).

Prices are per lot traded (per side), and include NinjaTrader brokerage fee, NFA fee, Clearing fee and Exchange fee.
