Live Funded Trading: You Made It

Real markets. Real execution. Real money hitting your bank account every single day you are profitable. This is where funded trading becomes a career.

This is the moment everything changes. The evaluation is behind you. The simulated funded phase proved you can perform. Now the firm is putting real capital behind your trades.

A DayTraders.com live funded account is not a reward. It is a career. The evaluation was your entrance exam. The Pro account was your residency. The live account is the day you hang up your own shingle and start building something real.

What Changes When You Go Live

Everything that held you back on a simulated account disappears. The live account strips away the friction and lets you trade the way a professional trades.

No Consistency Rule

On Pro accounts, it is 30%. On live, it is gone. Make $10,000 in one session and $500 in the next 4. No rule blocks your payout.

No Minimum Daily Profit

No threshold per day. Close flat, close up $50, it all counts. No minimums forcing trades you do not want.

Daily Payouts

Not every 8 days. Not bi-weekly. Daily. Trade profitably Monday, request payout Tuesday. Automated. No committees.

No Profit Cap

No maximum per payout, per month, or per lifetime. Generate $500,000 in a month, keep $400,000. The 80/20 split has no ceiling.

Free Everything

Activation: free. Real-time data ($150/month value): free. Platform license: included. Zero additional costs.

Real Markets, Real Execution
Simulated

Trades mirror the market but never touch the exchange. Practice environment.

VS
Live

Every order goes directly to CME Group regulated exchanges. Real fills, real slippage, real market impact.

You are participating in the same market as institutional traders, hedge funds, and commercial hedgers. The P&L on your live account represents actual value created in real markets.

For traders who built their skills through evaluations and simulated funded accounts, going live is the validation that the work was real.

How Traders Get to Live
Path 1 Straight to Live (S2L)

Purchase an S2L evaluation, pass it, and your funded account is live from day one. No simulated funded stage. No intermediate steps.

S2L evaluations require 8 qualifying days, a profit target proportional to account size, and a 25% consistency rule during evaluation only. Once you pass, the consistency rule drops to zero.

Core $329 $50K buying power / $3,000 target
Edge $469 $150K buying power / $8,500 target
Ultra $599 $300K buying power / $15,000 target

All one-time fees. No activation cost. No data fees.

Path 2 Promotion from Pro or S2F

Traders who demonstrate exceptional consistency on simulated funded accounts can be invited to transition to a live account. This is DayTraders.com recognizing that you have proven yourself.

This path does not require purchasing a new evaluation. It is a recognition-based promotion. You earned it through performance.

$10,000/mo gross 80% $8,000/mo take-home
Strong Performer

These are hypothetical illustrations based on the 80/20 split with daily payouts and no withdrawal limits. Actual results depend entirely on individual trading performance. Most traders do not achieve consistent profitability at these levels.
You Are Not on Your Own

Going live does not mean you are abandoned. It means you have graduated into a partnership.

DayTraders.com's infrastructure continues to support live traders with the same technology, the same support channels, and the same community. The automated risk engine still protects your account. The drawdown limits still prevent catastrophic losses. The daily loss limit still catches bad sessions before they spiral.

When you win, we win.

The 80/20 split means our incentives are aligned on live accounts. We earn more when you trade well consistently over months and years.

80% You
20% Firm

The DayTraders community remains available on Discord, Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Support channels are active. Live trading is the destination, but the support infrastructure never goes away.

Most traders never reach this point. The ones who do share a common trait: they treated every phase of the journey as preparation for this moment. The evaluation was not an obstacle. It was training. The psychology was not a weakness. It was a skill to develop. The consistency rules were not restrictions. They were habits being built.

Now those habits run on autopilot. The risk management is second nature. The discipline is default behavior. And the account backing your trades is real.

Welcome to live. This is where funded trading becomes a career.
