Day Traders is an educational technology company based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The organization provides digital tools and instructional resources related to futures trading, focusing on trader education and performance evaluation. ^[1] Its programs include evaluation accounts in which participants demonstrate trading consistency and account management proficiency to qualify for a funded trading opportunity. ^[2]

History

Finance Magnates reported that the company introduced a web-based futures trading platform that integrates charting and analytics functions from TradingView. ^[3] The platform was covered by FX News Group and FinanceFeeds for its mobile accessibility and integrated performance-tracking features. ^{[4] [5]}

Programs and services

Day Traders offers educational and evaluation programs that emphasize practical learning and trading discipline. Participants use simulated trading environments to meet predefined performance and account parameters before advancing to funded trading eligibility. The platform uses TradingView technology for charting, order management, and performance tracking. ^[6]

Earlier mentions of Day Traders appear in several financial and investment publications, including Plunkett's Investment Securities Industry Almanac, The Options Course, How to Understand the Financial Pages, The Internet Investor, The Incredible Internet Guide to Online Investing, Information Systems for Global Financial Markets, and Internetgids Beleggen. These sources reference the company within broader discussions of online trading and educational technology in finance. ^{[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]}

DayTraders.com offers traders different account options, including “evaluation” accounts and a program called “Straight-to-Funded (S2F).” With these programs, traders have to pay money up front. Then, if they manage to hit certain goals, like making a specific amount of profit or keeping their losses within certain limits, they can move up to a “Pro” or “Live” account. ^[14] On review platforms such as Trustpilot, some traders say they’ve had good experiences. They mention things like the support team being quick to help or the platform being straightforward to use. Other traders, though, have complained about technical problems with the ProjectX platform. For example, things not working as expected, glitches, and frustrations with how the system performs. ^[15]

Milestones and Performance Metrics

In 2025, DayTraders announced that they had paid out more than $2 million to traders. The company made this announcement in a press release, and several financial news outlets picked up the story. DayTraders was saying that this was how much money they had distributed to traders who qualified for payouts. ^[16]

According to a review site that tracks prop-trading firms and funded-account programs, DayTraders says that about 45% of traders who took at least one evaluation test between January and September 2024 passed. That’s the company’s own number; it has not been independently checked to determine whether this figure is actually accurate or not. ^[17]
