DayTraders.com: daily reset and automated trading
From the same preset as the rules table. Anything PassTraq has not read in DayTraders.com’s own rules says so — nothing is estimated.
When the trading day resets

DayTraders.com’s new trading day starts at this time, and a daily loss limit, on plans that have one, resets with it. An end-of-day drawdown can be measured at a different time — confirm it on the firm’s site.

How PassTraq tracks DayTraders.com
Add your DayTraders.com account, import or sync your trades, and the challenge tracker computes these limits live — the $3,000 target, and the $2,500 intraday trailing drawdown on a $50,000 account — against your real P&L, and warns you before a breach, not after. On paid plans, Finia, the AI coach, reviews your trades against the same rulebook.
