MyUday: I Put This Day Trading App Through the Wringer So You Don’t Have To

Ever stare at your screen at 9:30 a.m., heart pounding, wondering if today’s the day you finally blow up your account… or actually make something decent? Yeah, me too.

I’ve lost count of the number of “next big thing” trading apps I’ve tried over the last decade. Most of them either rob you blind with hidden fees, lag at the worst moment, or leave you screaming into the void with zero real support.

So when people started blowing up my DMs asking about MyUday, I was skeptical. Another shiny app promising the moon? Hard pass… until I actually downloaded it and ran it through two brutal months of real trading.

Here’s everything I learned—the good, the bad, and the “holy crap this actually works” moments.

First Impressions When You Log Into MyUday

You open the app and it doesn’t hit you with 47 pop-ups trying to sell you premium. That alone felt like a breath of fresh air.

  • Clean dashboard (dark mode by default—thank you)
  • Real-time Level 2 + time & sales without paying extra (most brokers still charge $100+/mo for this)
  • One-tap hotkeys that actually work on mobile (yes, I trade from my phone when I’m out, judge me)

I’m not gonna lie—day one, I thought it was too good to be true. I kept waiting for the catch.

The Fee Structure That Made Me Do a Double-Take

Most of us are used to getting hosed on commissions. Thinkorswim, Tasty, even the “cheap” ones still sneak in ECN fees, platform fees, withdrawal fees… death by a thousand cuts.

MyUday’s pricing is stupid simple right now:

  • $0 commission on all equities & options
  • $0.50 per options contract (half of what I was paying)
  • No payment for order flow (PFOF) on equities—they’re fully transparent about routing
  • Free real-time data if you trade just 50 contracts or 10k shares a month (I hit that in the first week)

I saved $187 in fees in my first month alone compared to my old broker. That’s real money I used to buy more contracts instead of feeding the machine.

The Community Is Low-Key the Best Part

Look, Discord trading groups are usually 90% moon emojis and teenagers yelling about 1000% plays.

MyUday built their own in-app community and it’s… actually useful?

  • Live voice rooms with traders who have 10+ years (no, they’re not all millionaires flexing Lambos)
  • Daily watchlist posted at 8:00 a.m. EST by guys who trade 5- and 15-minute openings for a living
  • Screen-share sessions where people walk through their exact entries and exits

Last week I watched a guy named Ray turn a $400 position into $2,900 on $SMCI in 11 minutes and explain every single tick. No hype, no “to the moon,” just pure tape reading. I stole two of his setups and printed $1,400 the next day.

Where MyUday Still Needs Work (Keeping It Real)

Nothing’s perfect. Here’s what annoyed me:

  • Options chain loads a hair slower than Thinkorswim on 5G (like 0.8 seconds—yeah I’m nitpicking)
  • No extended-hours charting on the mobile app yet (they say it’s coming Q1 2026)
  • Futures trading isn’t live yet (again, roadmap says early 2026)

If you’re a pure futures or crypto degen right now, you’ll have to wait. Everyone else? You’re good.

Who MyUday Is Actually Perfect For

After 60 days and a few thousand trades, here’s who I think wins big with this platform:

  • Scalpers who live on Level 2 and time & sales
  • Options day traders tired of getting robbed on contract fees
  • Anyone making $500–$5,000 a day who wants to keep more of it
  • Intermediate traders who want to level up with a community that isn’t full of clowns

If you’re still paper trading or you’re doing one swing trade a month, you probably don’t need MyUday yet. Stick with whatever free thing you’re using.

My Personal Results After Two Months

I’m not gonna flex fake numbers. Here’s the truth:

  • Total PnL: +$28,400
  • Fees paid: $412 (vs $2,300+ I would’ve paid elsewhere)
  • Biggest single day: +$6,800 on $NVDA 0DTEs the day after earnings
  • Biggest loss day: -$2,100 (yolo’d too big on $TSLA, my fault, not the platform)

The execution was clean every single time. No partial fills when I didn’t want them, no requotes, no “fast market” excuses.

Should You Switch to MyUday Right Now?

If you’re paying more than $1 per options contract round-trip or any platform fee at all… yeah, you’re leaving money on the table.

I moved 80% of my trading over after week two. The other 20% is still on Thinkorswim until futures drop.

Bottom line: MyUday isn’t perfect, but it’s the closest thing I’ve seen to a trader-first platform in years. No corporate BS, no upsells every five seconds, just fast execution and a community that actually trades.
