What happens after I complete 3 payouts from Pro Accounts?

Once you complete 3 payouts on different dates from the Pro Account/ sim funding phase, DayTraders will assess your account(s).

We are an educational and trader evaluation company, once you reach 3 payouts across any number of pro accounts across three separate dates, we consider you to have graduated the sim funded phase.

Can I have a live account before reaching 3 payouts?

  • Yes, DayTraders continuously evaluates your Pro account trading performance. Some traders may receive a live account offer before achieving 3 payouts, based on individual performance.

What happens if my country does not allow me to trade live funds?

  • If you are offered a live account but your country restricts live trading, your Risk Manager will discuss alternative options with you.

How is the minimum balance calculated for a live account if I have a single Pro Account?

The minimum balance for a live account is determined using the following formula: (Pro Account Drawdown) + (Margin Requirements * Contracts)

However, the live account allocation is not strictly limited to this calculation. Your Risk Manager may allocate a different amount based on your risk profile.

Example: If you are trading a $50k account and are allocated a starting contract limit of (3 Minis / 30 Micros), the calculation would be ($2500 + $3600) = $6100. The total drawdown will be $2500, as it was in your Pro account, but it will be a Static drawdown.

What if I have multiple Pro Accounts?

If you have multiple Pro Accounts, Risk Managers will evaluate each simulated funded account independently to determine whether:

  • To merge them into a single Live Account, or

  • Retain certain accounts in the simulated environment.

Example: If you have 3 Pro Accounts and one of them reaches its third payout while the others have not, Risk Managers will assess your overall performance and decide accordingly.

**Disclaimer: Live account allocation will be at the sole discretion of the company.
