The short version
What actually separates them
3 fields on the record split FTUK and TradeDay. Everything else either matches or is not on the record yet.
Intraday trailing tightens against your open profit; end-of-day trailing only resets at the close; static never moves. This is the rule most likely to end an account.
A consistency cap limits how much of your total profit one day may contribute, so a single outsized winner can delay a payout.
Entry cost for the cheapest account each firm sells, before any live discount.
Not comparable yet: daily loss limit, minimum days to a first payout, trader profit split — at least one of the two firms has no figure on record, so we do not draw a conclusion from it. A blank here means we have not confirmed the rule, not that the firm has none.
Fig. 01 — Category winners
Who wins each category
TradeDay wins more categories (2–1, 1 tied, 2 not comparable), but the right pick depends on which category matters most to you.
Price
FTUK is cheaper to enter ($9 vs $100).
Drawdown
No single ruleWe do not have one drawdown model for every plan on sale at FTUK or at TradeDay, so there is no single firm-level rule to compare.
Payouts
No dataTradeDay publishes a minimum number of days to a first payout; we have none recorded for FTUK, so there is no comparison to draw here yet. Trader split is level or equally unrecorded, so nothing separates them here.
Rules
TieBoth score 72 on plan rules (drawdown model). The figures are for Flex Challenge and Fast Pass, the plans whose scores are the two firms' grades.
Platforms
TradeDay supports more platforms (6 vs 4).
Firm score
TradeDay has the higher firm score (86 vs 79).
A “tie” means both firms publish the same answer. “No data” means one of them has no figure on record for that category, so there is nothing to compare — it is never a point against either firm. “No single rule” means a firm’s plans do not share one rule in our record, so there is no firm-level rule to compare.

Fig. 02 — Score breakdown
Where each firm is stronger
Each side shows the plan whose score is that firm's grade.
A dash means the factor is not scored for that plan: we have not recorded the evidence it needs, such as the firm's founding year or enough of the plan's rules. Its weight moves to the factors that are scored rather than counting as a zero.
