The TradeDay simulated trading environment uses live market data and the same software you would use in the live market.
However, like all simulated trading environments, it is not a perfect replication of what it’s like to trade live.
Sometimes it is nuance in the software that causes this disconnect between the simulated experience and the live experience, and sometimes it’s because your order did not actually go to the live market where it might be subject to slippage and worse fills on stops.
A very small minority of people will seek to exploit these weaknesses in the simulated market to improve their trading results. Being in the Futures industry for a long time, and having managed 100’s of traders and trading teams, we have seen it all before!
Examples include taking advantage of unrealistic fills from gaming queue positions and exploiting the lack of slippage with stops during major economic releases. Please review our prohibitive trading practices policy by clicking here.
This is clearly not in the spirit of the evaluation. We are looking to evaluate you on your potential to become a profitable trader, not someone who can game a piece of software and will lose in the live markets.
If we suspect you are deliberately trying to ‘game the system’ in order to pass the evaluation we wil fail you, and ban you from TradeDay. No refunds will be offered.
TradeDay guarantees to get the trading funded for traders who pass the evaluation fairly, but we reserve the right not to fund those seeking to exploit the system.
