DayTraders.comDayTraders.com Ultra 300K Straight to Live: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
DayTraders.com Ultra 300K Straight to Live ranks #1 of the 4 300K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 67. Its strongest part is speed, its weakest is cost.
One try costs $449. The evaluation needs $15,000 on a $7,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 8.5). The funded account needs $7,000 on a $7,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 2.7). Together that is about 1 in 23.2 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $10,403 on average (the typical plan of this size: $5,440).
A steady trader making $1,200 a day gets the first payout after 19 trading days and keeps $59,680 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$10,403 per first payout0
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.
