DayTraders.comDayTraders.com 50K Straight to Funded: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
DayTraders.com 50K Straight to Funded ranks #24 of the 87 50K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 57. Its strongest part is speed, its weakest is payouts.
There is no evaluation: one try costs $342. The funded account needs $3,500 on a $2,500 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 2.9). Together that is about 1 in 2.9 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $1,007 on average (the typical plan of this size: $1,431).
A steady trader making $200 a day gets the first payout after 18 trading days and keeps $8,000 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$1,007 per first payout69
A trader with no edge reaches a profit of d before losing a static drawdown of D with chance D ÷ (D + d). A trailing floor that follows the peak gives e−d ÷ D; end of day trailing counts halfway between the two.
