DayTraders.com Review

Our Take on DayTraders

DayTraders.com offers more account sizes than most competitors in the futures prop firm sector, and their low-cost challenges attract many traders, especially those on a budget. Discounts typically run deep enough that a 25K challenge comes in around $38. The firm offers two drawdown types: intraday and static, with no EOD drawdown method yet. The 100% profit split is a genuine standout, and the 50% consistency rule during evaluation is on the better end compared to other firms. The $130 activation fee for Trail and Static accounts might put some traders off (other prop firms offer $0 activation fees, though those firms typically offset this with a higher challenge fee). The S2F and S2L offerings carry a higher price tag and the consistency rule tightens to 20%-25%, but come with a $0 activation fee. DayTraders.com now allows up to 15 funded accounts per trader, and traders can pass evaluation in as little as 2 days.

S2L (Straight to Live) is DayTraders’ newest program, launched March 2026. Unlike S2F, which skips the evaluation but stays in a simulated environment, S2L requires passing a challenge first (minimum 8 qualifying days, profit target applies), but the reward is a genuine live brokerage account backed by real firm capital. That’s also why the profit split drops to 80/20 instead of the 100% you get on Trail, Static, and S2F accounts. Once passed, traders move to a live account with daily payouts, intraday trailing drawdown, and scaling available. The trailing drawdown stops at the starting capital level. Activation is free, real-time data is included, and setup takes 1 to 5 business days. Up to 5 S2L accounts and 5 live accounts allowed.
