DayTraders Review — $25k Futures Evaluation (2026)

Full review

DayTraders provides a compelling dual-path approach to their 25k account offering. Traders can choose between the standard Trail evaluation at $249 (one-time) or the Straight to Funded (S2F) direct funded option at $370 (one-time).

The Trail evaluation is structured with a $1,500 profit target, $1,500 intraday trailing drawdown, and a minimum of 2 trading days. Notably, there is no daily loss limit and no scaling requirements, giving traders full access to 6 contracts (or 60 micros) from day one. This combination of low minimum days and no daily restriction makes it one of the more flexible evaluations available.

The S2F (Direct Funded) option at $370 skips the evaluation entirely. Traders receive a funded account immediately with 1 contract (10 micros), EOD drawdown type, and $1,000 max drawdown. The Pro Account activation fee is included in the S2F price, whereas the Trail evaluation requires a separate $130 activation fee upon passing.

Currently, DayTraders is running a significant 90% off promotion, bringing the Trail evaluation down to $24.90 and the S2F to $222. These promotional prices make DayTraders one of the most affordable entry points in the market when promos are active.

The 100% profit split is a strong differentiator — traders keep every dollar they earn. Combined with no daily loss limit and no scaling, this creates one of the most unrestricted trading environments among 25k prop firm accounts.

Key strengths: 100% profit split, no daily loss limit, no scaling, direct funded option available, aggressive promotional pricing. Key consideration: Regular price of $249 is higher than some competitors, and the $130 activation fee adds to total cost for the evaluation path.
