DayTraders.com is an educational, non-professional trader evaluation company focused on education, risk management and trader development. You trade futures under clear rules, prove your strategy and earn payouts.
What's simulated
Evaluations, Pro Accounts, S2F accounts and S2L evaluations are all simulated: no real money is deposited with us or traded in the market. Only live accounts trade in live markets.
Payouts are real
Payouts from Pro Accounts and S2F accounts are real money, sent to your Payout Method: your bank through Plane, or as credit in your DT Wallet to spend on new accounts. Live account payouts are paid through Plane.
Account types
Evaluation (Trail, Static or EOD): a simulated account. Reach the profit target within the rules to pass.
Pro Account: the simulated funded account you activate for $5 after passing. It earns payouts.
S2F (Straight to Funded, shown as Instant at checkout): a simulated funded account with no evaluation.
S2L (Straight to Live, shown as Live at checkout): a simulated evaluation with a set path to a live account.
Live account: trades in live markets. You get one by passing S2L or by invitation from the firm.
Moving from a Pro Account or S2F to live is at the firm's discretion. There's no fixed milestone, and about 1% of simulated funded traders are currently moved to live. Services are for non-professional traders only.
