Post-Funding
The profit split determines how much you actually keep. At DayTraders.com, Pro and S2F traders keep 100%. Live traders keep 80%. Here is how it works, what affects your take-home, and what to watch out for.
At DayTraders.com, Pro and S2F funded traders keep 100% of all profits. No split. No firm cut. On Live funded accounts, the split is 80/20, with 80% going to the trader. Evaluations (Trailing, EOD, Static, and S2L) are evaluation phases and do not include payouts. Payouts begin once you activate a funded account.
Pro and S2F accounts: You keep 100%. The firm takes nothing from your profits. You generate $5,000 in net profit, you withdraw $5,000. That is the entire calculation.
Live accounts (S2L): You keep 80%. The firm takes 20%. You generate $5,000, you receive $4,000. The firm keeps $1,000.
Both splits apply to net profit, meaning commissions and fees are already accounted for before the calculation.
After 8 qualifying trading days. Ensures profits are built through consistent trading.
Once you pass the S2L evaluation and activate your live funded account: profitable Monday, payout Tuesday. Automated.
Deducted from gross P&L before the split. Higher-frequency traders (scalpers) pay more in total commissions.
Profits must comply with all account rules. If the consistency rule is not met, continue trading until the distribution is compliant.
You cannot withdraw 100% of profit balance. Keeping a buffer above the floor is necessary to continue trading safely after payout.
Pro and S2F give you 100%. Live gives you 80%. Evaluations (Trailing, EOD, Static, and S2L) are evaluation phases only and do not have payouts. Payouts begin once you are in a funded Pro, S2F, or Live account.
Small, frequent withdrawals lock in earnings and reduce the chance of giving back profits. A large unrealized balance means more capital at risk.
100% split on Pro means consistent $2,000 monthly profits = $2,000 take-home. Even competitors advertising 90% splits with ladders and conditions often deliver less effective take-home than DayTraders' clean 100%.
A trader earning $3,000 on a Pro account at DayTraders.com takes home $3,000 every 8 qualifying days. A trader with a 90% split but a 6-step ladder might wait months for the same amount.
