Day Trader Funding

Day Trader Funding (DTF) is a futures prop firm backed by DTR Trading LLC, a trading coaching business that's been running since 2020. It's a solo-founder operation that sells one evaluation, paid once, on CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX contracts through Volumetrica. It suits intraday futures traders who like a fixed loss line while they prove themselves and want paying early once funded.

How the evaluation works

• Evaluation (50K, 100K, 150K): a 6% target and a fixed drawdown that doesn't trail: $2,000, $3,000 or $4,500. No daily loss limit, no consistency rule, no time limit, and at least three qualifying days.

A qualifying day needs at least $100 of realized profit or loss. List prices are $247.50 to $597.50, though the site has been running 60% off. Resets cost $79 to $169, and you can buy bundles that include resets or coaching.

Rules worth knowing

• Positions must be closed by 4:59pm ET. Nothing overnight or over the weekend.

• News trading is allowed, FOMC and NFP included.

• Once funded, the drawdown trails intraday until your profit clears the buffer, then switches to end-of-day trailing.

• Copying trades across accounts can trigger a review.

• An account with no trades for 28 days loses its data feed.

Getting paid

You keep 80%. Funded activation is free and you can request a payout from your first funded day. After that you need three new green days of $100 or more, and new profit above your last payout, before asking again. You get four payout slots a month, no more than one per account every seven days, with a $100 minimum. Caps start at $500 to $1,500 and rise as you rack up green days. Payouts go through Rise, and strong traders move on to live capital.
