TradeDay Expands, Prop Firm Tensions Rise, and New Tools Emerge Ahead of July 4th Frenzy

In what’s shaping up to be a wild summer in the futures trading space, you’re witnessing a mix of major promo rollouts, prop firm controversies, and community-driven tool releases—all just in time for the July 4th rush. If you’ve been scanning the landscape for the latest opportunities, warnings, and tools, now’s the time to take note.

TradeDay Doubles Down: Six Accounts, One-Day Payouts, and No Setup Fees

If you’ve been on the fence about trying TradeDay, you might want to act fast. The prop firm, which just celebrated its fifth anniversary, has launched a powerful new promo: 40% off all accounts, zero setup fees, and a major upgrade from three to six tradable accounts.

What sets TradeDay apart? Unlike many retail props that operate exclusively in simulation, TradeDay maintains a clear pipeline to true live funding. Once funded, you’re eligible for daily payouts and a 95% profit share—with minimal restrictions.

Here’s what you’ll find:

• One-day payouts after funding
• Platforms: NinjaTrader, Tradeovate, TradingView, Jigsaw, QuantTower
• Account types: Intraday, Static, and Traditional
• Micro scalping, DCA, copy trading, and bots allowed
• Seven-day evaluation window
• No consistency rule on funded accounts

You can now get started for as little as $57 for a 50K intraday account, with end-of-day trailing drawdowns and same-day payouts. Use code Army Navy to apply the full promo.

Take Profit Trader Switches to End-of-Day Drawdown

In another major shift, Take Profit Trader has quietly made a structural change to their drawdown rules. Evaluations and Pro+ accounts now run on end-of-day drawdowns, which could help reduce intraday liquidation risk for aggressive traders.

The current flash promo offers:

• 40% off your account
• Lifetime discount (renews at 40% off)
• No setup fees

You’ll still need five days to pass your evaluation, but the 50% consistency rule means you can hit your target in two days and coast the rest. That’s a considerable change from the previous intraday risk model.

MyFundedFutures Launches Flash Sale and Instant Payout Engine

Another key player, MyFundedFutures, has rolled out a limited-time flash promo offering 50% off your first account, and 15% off subsequent purchases. Although the initial discount isn’t recurring, it does come with other benefits—like their new instant payout approval system.

According to reports, traders are seeing fund transfers in under 20 seconds from request to receipt. That speed has helped MyFundedFutures solidify its place as a “Gold Standard” prop firm among serious scalpers.

Highlights of the promo:

• 5-day payouts on Starter Plus plans
• 14-day payouts on Expert plans
• Profit split: 90/10
• No bots or news trading, but DCA and micro scalping are allowed
• $64 Starter Plus / $114 Expert Plan during the sale

If you’re an active trader using Tradeovate, this may be your fastest path to regular payouts under fair rules.

A Shift in the Content Landscape: From Independent Reviews to “Prop PR”?

As you navigate the flood of affiliate content, you might have noticed certain trading channels shifting tone. One such example is the “These Futures” YouTube channel, originally known for satirical takes on the futures space. Once seen as an unbiased voice, the channel is now drawing criticism for allegedly favoring Apex—and doing little to highlight ongoing payout concerns.

With multiple Apex traders still waiting on payments (including some approved back in April), the community is starting to question why some influencers appear silent or dismissive about serious issues.

You may have seen memes, skits, and sarcastic jabs from these creators aimed at other content channels and traders. But according to critics, what once felt lighthearted now borders on deflection or corporate loyalty—especially as Apex faces growing scrutiny for inconsistent payouts.

Trader Oracle Update: Coding Continues—But Not for Ninja

Meanwhile, respected community developer Trader Oracle remains active despite personal health challenges. While he’s no longer coding for NinjaTrader directly, you’ll find his Sierra Charts-based gap and imbalance systems continue to grow in popularity.

The good news? A coder from his Discord is working on porting that template to NinjaTrader, and once it’s complete, you’ll have access to it for free. Keep an eye on community folders and Google Drive uploads for the official release.
