AI Review

DayTraders.com is the only firm in this directory advertising no profit split at all — traders keep up to 100% of profits, with the business model resting on evaluation fees rather than a share of trader earnings. It runs its own browser-based platform wired directly to Rithmic, alongside nine third-party options including Sierra Chart, Bookmap and Quantower, and claims to be the only futures funding company offering entirely free demo accounts. Accounts run $25K to $300K, with a choice between trailing/end-of-day and static drawdown, the latter trading tighter contract limits for a fixed loss line.

Frequently Asked Questions

DayTraders.com is a futures funding company rated 4.6 out of 5 from nearly 500 Trustpilot reviews. It operates its own browser-based trading platform connected directly to Rithmic, with brokerage through ONYX and Rithmic, and processes payouts via Plane.
There isn't one. DayTraders advertises that traders keep up to 100% of their profits with no split taken by the firm — an unusual model in an industry where 80% to 90% is standard.
$25,000, $50,000, $100,000, $150,000 and $300,000. Contract limits depend on drawdown type: trailing and end-of-day accounts allow 6 minis on a 25K rising to 40 minis on a 300K, while static accounts are tighter at 4 and 6 minis on the 25K and 50K.
On Pro accounts the minimum payout is $500, with at least 8 days between requests. You must also hit a minimum daily profit to qualify — $100 on a 25K account, $200 on 50K, $300 on 100K and 150K, and $400 on 300K — and clear a minimum account balance. Payments are made through Plane.
Its own browser-based platform connected directly to Rithmic, plus Quantower, Sierra Chart, Bookmap, ATAS Orderflow Trading, Jigsaw Daytradr, MotiveWave, R Trader Pro, Finamark and VolFix.
Yes. It advertises free demo accounts that reset daily, which it claims makes it the only futures funding company offering them at no cost.
