At DayTraders, the day excluded from your qualifying-day count is now the day a payout is approved. Before, it was the day you requested the payout. This applies to both funded programs: Pro, which needs 8 qualifying days per payout cycle, and S2F, which needs 10.
Timing follows approval and debit. A payout approved and debited after 5:00 PM ET appears on your charts, and is deducted from your account balance, the next day.
Full rules are on the DayTraders firm page.
