October 2024 Update: I’ve decided to no longer work with several firms as there are industry regulations coming and I don’t believe several firms will meet the criteria, including this one. I am leaving this article up but all links to to companies I no longer represent will forward back to my main Deals and Promos Page.
You can find more information here: Regulations Are Coming – October 2024 and also find my list of recommended companies that will be compliant.
TickTick Trader review has been a popular request from people who wanted to know what I thought of the TickTick Trader funded trader evaluation program. TickTick Trader has a few benefits which you’ll learn out below, but mainly they offer their users a free copy of Jigsaw DayTradr and also Bookmap. As well when you pass, you pass! No minimum days.
They often run deals, and I keep a current list of deals and sales on my Funded Trader Evaluation Deals Page. You will find TickTick Trader coupons and TickTick Trader promos there if they are running any.
Summary of My TickTick Trader Review
TickTick Trader is a popular choice and one of my most recommended companies. They are requested quite often. Most known for offering traders the ability to pass your evaluation with no minimum number of trading days. As well providing traders with a free license for both Jigsaw Daytradr and Bookmap, this is something no other company is doing.
You can read more below about what I like and dislike about TickTick Trader.
Evaluations Available and Pricing
TickTick Trader current evaluations:
| Account Size | Price/month* | Contracts | Goal | Drawdown |
| $25,000 | $145 | 4 | $1,500 | $1,500 |
| $50,000 | $160 | 10 | $3,000 | $2,500 |
| $100,000 | $285 | 14 | $6,000 | $3,500 |
| $100,000 Express | $99 | 14 | $6,000 | $3,500 |
Direct Accounts – Skip The Evaluation
Tick Tick Trader also has Direct Accounts available. You do not need to go through an evaluation, go straight to a Performance Account. They do cost more for this luxury, but if you are tired of dealing with evaluations, a Direct Account might be good for you.
| Account Size | Price | Contracts | Draw Down | Daily Loss Limit |
| $10,000 Swing Account | $229 | 5 Micros | $1,000 | $350 |
| $25,000 Account | $349 | 4 Minis | $1,500 | $500 |
| $50,000 Account | $699 | 10 Minis | $2,500 | $1,250 |
Software Available
When you sign up with TickTick Trader you will connect via Rithmic, like most trader evaluation companies. You can trade in Rithmic Pro (their software), but its not that great. You do get a free license to NinjaTrader with TickTick Trader though which I recommend. As well they now have the Tradovate option available as well.
I’ve mentioned a few times already but you also get a free license for Jigsaw Daytradr and/or Bookmap if you desire. I personally use Jigsaw Daytradr and love it. It is a depth of market, order flow tool so it won’t be for everyone.
Multiple Accounts
You are allowed to have up to 3 Performance Accounts (funded accounts) active at any point. If you pass other evaluations, they can be kept on stand by, ready to activate if you were to lose one of your PA accounts.
Evaluation Rules
Below are the general rules. Be sure to read the specific rules on their site.
- 1 step
- When you pass, you pass! No more minimum trade days
- Trailing draw down is calculated at End of Day (TickTick Drawdown)
- Daily Loss Limits must be followed
- There is no scaling plan during the evaluation (there is when funded but that is common)
Obviously if you are new to trading a lot of this might seem confusing. I recommend reading extensively over their Faqs and knowing what you are getting yourself into.
Funded Account Rules
The general rules for TickTick Trader will be the same as the evaluation. You’ll have to abide by a scaling plan as you build up a balance. Read below for withdrawal rules.
Funded Account Fees
Once you are funded, there are often fees to cover data and/or 1 time set up fees. TickTick Trader charges one-time activation fees in lieu of an ongoing data fee. This might rub some people the wrong way, but honestly it will work out far cheaper in the long run compared to paying $100+ per market with some of the other companies.
The fees are:
- $25,000 Account One-time Assignment Cost of $149
- $50,000 Account One-time Assignment Cost $149
- $100,000 Account One-time Assignment Cost of $249
- $100,000 Express Account One-time Assignment Cost of $249
Funded Account Withdraw Frequency & Methods
TickTick Trader offers withdrawals which you can request any time. The processing time is up to 5 business days. There is a minimum withdrawal of $250. There are also minimum thresholds you have to keep in your account which you can not withdraw.
TickTick Trader has a consistency rule of 30% for withdrawals. No more than 30% of your profits can come from 1 trading day.
The first 3 months earnings are 100% the traders. Whether you make $1,000 or $100,000 they are 100% yours. The 4th month onwards TickTick Trader will keep 10% (a 90/10 split).
You can withdraw from TickTick Trader using ACH, PayPal or Crypto.

Risk Disclosure:
Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure:
Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight.
In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
