How to check before you pay
- Read the payout rules on the firm's own pages first: daytraders.com/payouts, daytraders.com/help/articles/17704104-billing, daytraders.com/help/articles/17704121-how-to-request-a-payou, daytraders.com/help/articles/17684739-eod-payouts, daytraders.com/help/articles/17684741-eod-consistency
- Search the firm's Trustpilot page for recent reviews mentioning denied payouts, and check whether the firm replies with a rule reference.
- Buy the smallest account first and request a payout as soon as you are eligible. A first small payout tests the process cheaply.
- Keep screenshots of your trades and the rules as they were on the day you bought. Rules change; our changelog shows when.
- Pay by a method with chargeback rights where possible, and never send funds to a personal wallet or account.

What legit means here
Prop firms like DayTraders.com sell evaluations on simulated accounts and share profits from that activity; the fee is a service fee, not a deposit. They are generally not licensed the way brokers are. We do not verify licences or audit payouts, so 'legit' here means the firm publishes clear rules, has a checkable record and reports paying traders. Full scoring rules: methodology and how evidence levels work.
