DayTraders Reviews

Daytraders are excellent! Love their propfirm and relatively cheap accounts. I think when they upgraded their account allowance up to 15 accounts to be a fantastic upgrade. My preferred platform of choice in NinjaTrader so I wish they offered that as an option, but otherwise I have been using Quantower.

They have cheap evals but high activation fees. too high really. I would still us ethem as I would apex but kind of sour on activation fees as a practice

Overall, the firm provides a smooth trading experience, and I had no major issues with the platform. However, if your goal is long-term scaling and building a larger trading business, I would not recommend this firm. I had five funded Straight to Live accounts and successfully met all the requirements for my first payout. The problem started when I became eligible for that payout. I was given only two options. The first option was to take the full payout, but my current account would be closed, and I would receive a new three $150,000 Straight to Live Evaluation account. This means I would have to go through the evaluation process again before getting access to a live account. The second option was to move my $15,000 payout balance into a live account and continue trading. However, under this option, the firm would take a 20% commission on future profits. In my view, neither option is attractive for traders who are looking to scale consistently. After working hard to achieve the payout requirements, I expected a more straightforward payout process. Instead, I felt forced to either restart the evaluation process or use my payout funds to continue trading under a profit-sharing arrangement. The trading conditions and overall experience are smooth, but the scaling model and payout structure are disappointing. If your goal is to get one or two payouts, this firm may be suitable. However, if you are looking for long-term growth, account scaling, and flexibility with payouts, I would suggest considering other firms.

Great new firm. Website is very easy to use and accounts get loaded immediately. Was unable to attain a payout but will give it another go!

Daytraders is a very Under rated firm, i just started trading here because they offer a wide range of trading models from Static accts, S2F, and EOD DD. Accts are very competitively priced, although most do require an activation fee. 100% profit split in the S2F model which is awesome, plus the 50k acct has 2500 Total DD. minimum days to payout in S2F is 10, which is kind of long but not the worst. overall great firm with great product offerings

Overall great firm. I had some issues with payment, customer support quickly helped. Had questions about rules, their discord helped answer everything I had in mind. Recently they started to offer 15 funded accounts which is GREAT! Only downside is the lack of Tradovate support and hard consistency requirements but I heard they have something in the works.

All 5 of my funded accounts at DayTraders.com were unjustly closed. I tried contacting them directly, but they did not help me at all. I purchased 3 Straight to Funded $50k accounts, and a whole bunch of Trailing $250k evals which I passed two and thus had two funded $250k Pro accounts. All of these were closed at the end of January/start of February due to the new "inactivity rule", which requires you to have 4 Qualifying Days of $200 - $300 profit during every rolling 30-day period. This is so wrong for so many reasons! First, it's a fundamental change from the accounts I bought, which had no such rules. This was just announced on January 8th, so it didn't even give us the full 30 days to comply! And it was not at all clear that the rule would start being retroactively enforced on all of January's trading. I see from posts in the DayTraders Discord that plenty of us thought the rule would be going forward for trading starting at the end of January, which is totally different and was unclear. Also, this is NOT an "inactivity" rule, but basically enforced continuous profitability. I traded the majority of the trading days in January, and I sized down because I'm going through a rough patch and didn't want to lose my accounts. But by doing that, some of my profitable days weren't enough to be "Qualifying Days", and so even having enough winning days wasn't enough! I lost 3 Straight-to-Funded accounts and 2 Pro accounts. Some of my profitable days were "invalidated due to the consistency rule"! So apparently if I made TOO MUCH money, then it didn't count as a Qualifying Day either! That is some next level shady behavior if you ask me! I totally understand the consistency rule being applied to getting payouts, and I have no quarrel with that. But this is completely different. So basically: You have to trade. You have to make at least $250. You cannot make more than whatever their consistency calculation is. Otherwise, you lose everything. It's all so shady!

Honestly, it's not my first choice. I've tried two different types of accounts and I didn't like the rules. Support on Discord and through direct contact was extremely slow. It's not something I would recommend. Maybe I'd give it a try if I had some extra money, but that's just my personal opinion.

After i got banned from apex i switched to Daytraders for a while. It feels exactly like the OG version of Apex which is a good thing. Havent been using them alot because they only have Rithmic

DayTraders wasn’t a good fit for me. I’ve had payouts denied and accounts flagged for IP conflicts while traveling and using hotel WiFi, which was frustrating. Support was rigid and not helpful and I seemed to run into issues pretty often. My trading style and travel setup have never been a problem with other firms, so that stood out. Overall the experience wasn’t great and always found a reason to deny. Personally, I would avoid this one—there are better firms
