DayTraders.comDayTraders.com 300K Trail: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
DayTraders.com 300K Trail ranks #1 of the 4 300K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 67. Its strongest part is cost, its weakest is rule stability.
One try costs $145. The evaluation needs $15,000 on a $7,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 8.5). The funded account needs $7,600 on a $7,000 intraday trailing drawdown (1 in 3). Together that is about 1 in 25.2 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $3,537 on average (the typical plan of this size: $5,440).
A steady trader making $1,200 a day gets the first payout after 21 trading days and keeps $34,600 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$3,537 per first payout100
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.
