DayTraders — frequently asked questions
What account lines does DayTraders offer?
Evaluations: Trail, EOD and Static — passing one grants a Pro account. Direct lines: Straight to Sim Funded (S2F) and Straight to Live (S2L).
What is Trail?
An evaluation with an intraday trailing drawdown — the floor trails your equity in real time. Two qualifying days minimum (minimum daily profit $100–$400 by size), a 50% consistency rule in the evaluation and 30% once funded, and no daily loss limit.
What is EOD?
The end-of-day version: the drawdown is recalculated at the session close and a daily loss limit applies ($800 on the 25K). The fully published 25K terms: $1,000 total drawdown, $1,500 profit target, max $1,000 per payout request. Max 5 EOD accounts.
What is Static?
A fixed drawdown floor that never moves — the conservative line, and the only DayTraders evaluation with a 100K size (25K–150K). The firm does not list per-size drawdown amounts or profit targets as text on its pages.
What is Straight to Sim Funded (S2F)?
No evaluation: you start in a simulated funded (Pro-style) account with payout potential from day one, under a 20% consistency rule and an EOD trailing drawdown. First payout after 10 qualifying days; 100% split.
What is Straight to Live (S2L)?
One 8-qualifying-day phase leads directly to a live funded brokerage account with real capital — 80/20 split, daily payout eligibility, free activation and no consistency rule once live. Tiers: Core ($50K buying power), Edge ($150K), Ultra ($300K).
Does DayTraders charge an activation fee?
A Pro activation fee is billed separately once you pass an evaluation. The firm's own pages give three different figures — $5 on its homepage selector, $99 in its help center and $130 in its guide — so confirm the current figure at the firm's checkout; we won't pick one for you.
