DayTraders.com vs UProfit: prop firm rules compared

DayTraders.com's Full plan trails the drawdown intraday: the floor follows the highest balance the account reaches during the session, open profit included, and never moves back down — a winning trade given back before it is closed still lifts it. For example, at DayTraders.com's Full plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $47,500, $2,500 under the start.

On DayTraders.com's EOD and S2F plans and UProfit the drawdown trails at end of day: the floor is recalculated once, from the closing balance, so open profit given back during the session does not raise it — but equity touching the floor during the session still counts. For example, at DayTraders.com's EOD and S2F plans and UProfit a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

DayTraders.com's Static plan uses a static drawdown: the floor is set once, the drawdown below the starting balance, and does not move for the whole evaluation. For example, at DayTraders.com's Static plan a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $49,000, $1,000 under the start.

On UProfit the trailing floor stops rising once it reaches breakeven and stays there.

A soft daily loss limit pauses the day instead of failing the account: reach it and open positions are flattened, trading stops until the next session, and the account stays open. DayTraders.com's EOD plan sets it at $1,250 on $50,000 and UProfit's DAY 2.0 Soft plan sets it at $1,100 on $50,000. DayTraders.com's Full and Static plans and UProfit's DAY 2.0 Flex plan have no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

DayTraders.com and UProfit start the trading day at the same moment, 6:00 PM ET (5:00 PM CT); a daily loss limit counts from that reset, not from midnight.

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. DayTraders.com's Full, Static and EOD plans and UProfit cap any single day at 50% of total profit, so it takes at least 2 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,500 of a $3,000 target and $1,875 of a $3,750 target. DayTraders.com's S2F plan caps any single day at 20% of total profit, so it takes at least 5 profitable days to finish inside the rule.

DayTraders.com requires at least 2 trading days before a pass.

On automated trading — a strategy or bot sending the orders — at DayTraders.com it is allowed in the evaluation and on a funded account; UProfit has no written answer on record. Written answers: DayTraders.com (read Oct 21, 2026).

DayTraders.com and UProfit differ on 3 of the evaluation rules compared here: drawdown model, consistency rule and max drawdown at $50K. If your trades often run into open profit that you give back before closing them, start with the drawdown: DayTraders.com trails intraday or at end of day or holds a static floor, depending on the plan, while UProfit trails at end of day. If one or two large days make up most of your profit, the consistency rule sets how fast you can finish: DayTraders.com caps one day at 20–50% of total profit; UProfit caps one day at 50% of total profit. In dollars at $50K, DayTraders.com asks for $3,000 of profit with $2,500 of drawdown room, UProfit for $3,000 with $2,000.

Once funded, the profit split is 100% (Pro sim) at DayTraders.com and 90/10 (DAY 2.0) at UProfit. Payout terms — DayTraders.com: Every 8 qualifying days; UProfit: Within 24h, up to $4,500 per payout. DayTraders.com sells 4 plans: Full, Static, EOD and S2F; UProfit sells 2 plans: DAY 2.0 Soft and DAY 2.0 Flex. Each plan carries its own version of the rules above, which is why they are listed plan by plan. If a strategy or bot will send your orders, DayTraders.com's written answer is allowed in the evaluation and on a funded account, and UProfit has no written answer on record.
