How much are trading commissions?

Modified on Wed, 23 Apr at 8:43 AM

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

Please note that we include simulated commission in the calculation of your Profit and Loss (PnL) for the funded sim and the evaluation. This simulated commission is part of our broker's trading environment.

If you move to a Funded Live account the commission may differ slightly (there is a small increase for TradeDayX platform users), please see the tables below.

The net PnL is your profit or loss plus commission, we use simulated commission rates as close as possible to the live market costs 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).

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

All evaluations and Funded Sim Accounts, and NinjaTrader/Tradovate Funded Live commissions
