    Day Traders Trading Rules Deep Dive

    The fine print that decides whether traders pass or breach. Each rule below uses Day Traders's specific values.

    Day Traders consistency rule explained

    50% Rule (Evaluation); 30% Rule (Pro/Funded); 20% Rule (S2F).

    Worked example: on a $10,000 profit, if the rule caps a single day at 50% of total profit, no day can exceed $5,000 in P&L.

    News trading rules at Day Traders

    High-impact economic releases (NFP, FOMC, CPI) are when most prop firms enforce restrictions. At Day Traders, news trading is permitted without restrictions.

    Day Traders drawdown calculation method

    • Basis: Balance
    • Measurement: Relative
    • Types offered: Intraday Trailing, End-of-Day (EOD), Static

    Worked example: with an absolute balance-based drawdown, the threshold is fixed at the start of the evaluation and does not trail your equity curve as you grow the account.

    EAs and bots are permitted at Day Traders.

    • HFT allowed: No
    • Martingale allowed: No
    • Copy trading: allowed
