  • Hit the profit target required for your specific account size and cycle

  • Maintain a minimum account balance before and after withdrawal

  • Submit a minimum payout request of $500

What is a Qualifying Day (QDay)?

A QDay is a trading day that:

  • Meets or exceeds the minimum daily profit requirement for your account size

  • You can withdraw profits once you meet all criteria


How to Request a Payout

  1. Log in to your DayTraders dashboard

  2. Navigate to “Payout Method” and set up a provider (e.g., Plane)

  3. Click “Request Payout”

  4. Select the account and input your desired withdrawal amount in increments of $50 (minimum $500)

  5. Confirm the terms and complete CAPTCHA

  6. Place one trade after submission to generate a report

Payouts approved before 5:00 PM ET will reflect the same day.


Timing Tips

  • Request payouts before 5:00 PM ET to ensure same-day reporting

  • Place a small trade after requesting a payout so the system generates a report and reflects your withdrawal

  • Important: The day the payout is reflected does not count as a qualifying day


Account Balance & Withdrawal Limits:

Pro Accounts:

Minimum Payout Request: $500

Minimum QDays between requests: 8

  • After your payout is approved, the next session after the request is counted as Day 1 of the next cycle

** What does "Minimum Account Balance AFTER Withdrawal" mean?

Example for the $50,000 Account

  • Your account must reach $52,600 before you can request a payout.

  • After your payout, your account must stay at $52,000 or higher.

  • The smallest payout you can request is $500.

Example:
You have $53,000 in your account.
You want to take out $800.

  • ​$53,000 minus $800 = $52,200

  • $52,200 is more than $52,000, so your payout is approved.


Minimum Payout Request: $500

Minimum QDays between requests: 10

  • After your payout is approved, the next session after the request is counted as Day 1 of the next cycle

Payout Profit Targets is the simulated profit that must be generated between payouts.

Example – $50K Account

  • Starting balance: $50,000

  • Payout 1: Earn $3,500 in profit from the starting balance (reach $53,500), then request a $2,000 payout → new balance becomes $51,500

  • Payout 2: From this new balance ($51,500), you must earn an additional $3,000 profit (reach $54,500), then request a $2,000 payout → new balance becomes $52,500

  • Payout 3 and beyond: From the current balance, you must generate $2,500 profit before each payout (for example, reach $55,000 or higher), then request a $2,000 payout → balance adjusts accordingly

How it works:

After each approved payout, the payout amount is deducted from your account balance. Your next profit target is always calculated as a fixed profit amount starting from your updated balance after the payout.


Maximum Withdrawal Limit per User

  • The total withdrawal cap per trader is $150,000 across all accounts.

  • If your account is blown after an approved payout, the payout is still honored. If the account is blown before approval, the payout is canceled
