## What this firm publishes

DayTraders.com, run by Day Traders LLC in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a futures prop firm that calls itself an evaluation company rather than a direct funding firm and serves non-professional traders only. It sells five routes: Full (Trail) evaluations with an intraday trailing drawdown, Static evaluations with a fixed drawdown, EOD evaluations with an end-of-day trailing drawdown, S2F (Straight to Funded) instant funding accounts, and S2L (Straight to Live) evaluations that lead to live accounts. Account sizes run from $25,000 to $300,000, on CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT futures only. DayTraders advertises a 100% profit split on Pro and S2F accounts; S2L live accounts pay 80/20.

The DayTraders rules change with the account. On a $50,000 evaluation the profit target is $3,000 on Full and EOD and $3,750 on Static, against a maximum drawdown of $2,500 on Full, $1,000 on Static and $2,000 on EOD, which adds a $1,250 daily loss limit. EOD evaluations need at least 2 qualifying days and S2L evaluations 8. There is no time limit, but an account goes inactive without 1 qualifying day in every rolling 30 days on a monthly plan, or 4 on a lifetime plan. The consistency rule is 50% in evaluations, 30% on Pro accounts, 20% on S2F and 25% on S2L evaluations. Hedging, martingale and automated high-frequency trading are prohibited, while news trading is allowed. The help centre lets traders hold positions overnight and over the weekend, but the Terms of Use say every position must be closed before 5:00 PM CST.

Passing an evaluation leads to a Pro account and a $5 activation fee. Pro payouts need at least 8 qualifying days per cycle and S2F payouts 10, with a $500 minimum requested in $500 increments; live accounts can request payouts daily. Payouts go through Plane, and DayTraders states an average approval time of 32 minutes. Its homepage FAQ prices evaluations from $40 for a 25K Static account to $400 for a 300K EOD account; S2F and S2L prices were not found. No fees are refunded and there are no resets. DayTraders does not open new accounts in 79 listed countries, including China, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam, or for OFAC citizens.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the DayTraders profit split?

DayTraders advertises a 100% profit split on Pro and S2F funded accounts. Live accounts reached through a Straight to Live (S2L) evaluation pay 80% to the trader and 20% to the firm.

### How much does a DayTraders evaluation cost?

The DayTraders homepage FAQ lists Full (Trail) evaluations from $55 (25K) to $140 (300K), Static from $40 (25K) to $90 (150K) and EOD from $80 (25K) to $400 (300K). A passed evaluation then carries a $5 activation fee for the Pro account; prices for S2F and S2L accounts were not found on the pages read.

### What are the DayTraders drawdown rules?

It depends on the account: Full evaluations use an intraday trailing drawdown, Static a fixed drawdown, and EOD and S2F accounts an end-of-day trailing drawdown. On a $50,000 evaluation the drawdown is $2,500 on Full, $1,000 on Static and $2,000 on EOD, which also has a $1,250 daily loss limit.

### Does DayTraders have a consistency rule?

Yes. No single day may exceed 50% of total profit in an evaluation, 30% on a Pro account, 20% on an S2F account or 25% on an S2L evaluation; live accounts have no consistency rule. Breaking it blocks a payout until the largest day falls below the limit.

### How do DayTraders payouts work?

Pro accounts can request a payout after 8 qualifying days in the cycle and S2F accounts after 10, with a $500 minimum in $500 increments; live accounts can request payouts daily. Payouts are paid through Plane, and DayTraders states an average approval time of 32 minutes.

### Does DayTraders offer instant funding?

Yes, through S2F (Straight to Funded) accounts at $25,000, $50,000 and $150,000, which skip the evaluation and use an end-of-day trailing drawdown. S2F accounts pay a 100% profit split, carry a 20% consistency rule and are limited to 5 per trader.

### Does DayTraders allow news trading and EAs?

News trading is allowed on DayTraders accounts. Automated high-frequency trading and software or AI that manipulates the simulated environment are prohibited, and the pages read do not address other automated trading.

### Can you hold trades overnight at DayTraders?

The DayTraders help centre says yes: positions may be held through the close, overnight and over the weekend, though mark-to-market adjustments can still breach the drawdown. The Terms of Use contradict this, requiring all positions to be closed before 5:00 PM CST or the market close, whichever is sooner.

### How many accounts can you have at DayTraders?

Up to 15 evaluation accounts and 15 funded accounts at a time. No more than 5 of the funded accounts may be S2F and 5 EOD, and traders may also hold up to 5 S2L evaluations and 5 live accounts.

### Does DayTraders offer refunds or resets?

No. DayTraders states that all purchases are final, including evaluation, Pro account and data fees, and there are no resets: a failed account is cancelled and a new one purchased.

### Which countries are restricted at DayTraders?

DayTraders does not open new accounts in 79 listed countries, including China, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam. It also cannot serve OFAC citizens, regardless of where they live.

### Is DayTraders legit?
