Firm Rules

Evaluation & Profit Target +

DayTraders offers Instant and 1-Step programs across Trailing, EOD, Static, S2L and S2F variants from 25K to 300K, each with its own path to funding.

Drawdown / Max Loss +

Pick a Trailing, EOD or Static drawdown depending on program — the model decides how (and whether) your loss limit moves with the account.

Consistency Rule +

S2F sits at 20%, S2L at 25% on evaluation, and the Trail/EOD/Static line at 50% on evaluation dropping to 30% once Pro-funded.

Hedging +

No opposing positions across or within accounts — that includes correlated instruments (long NQ in one account, short ES in another) and holding long and short on the same asset at once.

High-Frequency Trading +

Manual trading is required. HFT systems and algorithms designed to fire hundreds or thousands of orders a second, or to arbitrage millisecond price gaps, are banned.

Platforms & Execution +

A deep order-flow lineup — Bookmap, Sierra Chart, ATAS, Quantower, VolFix, Jigsaw and more — runs on Rithmic execution.

Payout & Withdrawal +

Cycle-based payouts via Plane, with aggressive launch discounts on Trailing and EOD accounts.
