The sample day trader
Our sample wins 41.3% of its trades, each winner is 1.5 times the risk, each loser is the full risk, and it takes about three trades a day: an average of 0.03R profit per trade, where R is the amount risked. Three trades a day with a thin edge on each. Losing days of two or three full losses are common, so the daily loss limit matters more here than for slower styles.

Funded Trading Plus rules to watch with a day trading strategy
We have not recorded Funded Trading Plus's rules on news trading or short trades yet, and they are not in the pass figures above. Check Funded Trading Plus's own rules before you buy.
- Daily loss limit
- Three losses in a day is an ordinary bad day for this style. At 1% risk a trade that is 3% gone, which is the whole daily limit at some firms.
- Costs
- Our sample pays no spread or commission. Three trades a day pays them about sixty times a month, and an edge this thin feels it.
- Overtrading
- The sample takes its three trades and stops. A real trader chasing losses takes more, and every extra trade without an edge moves the account towards the limit.

How this was worked out
Each style is a made-up sample trader, not a real track record. We set the figures so that every sample makes the same average profit: 0.1 times its risk per trading day, about 2R a month. They differ only in shape: how often they win, how big the winners are and how many trades they take. That way a difference between two styles comes from how the rules treat the shape, not from one sample simply being better. The exception is the grid and martingale sample, which has no edge at all: adding to losing trades changes the shape of the results but cannot create an edge.
Each sample was run 1,000 times against each account's published rules, at nine trade sizes from 0.13% to 1% of the account, and we show the size that did best. It is the same engine as the test centre. How the simulation works.
What this leaves out. Every sample but that one has a real edge and never breaks its own rules, which is why these figures are far higher than the share of real traders who pass. There are no spreads, commissions, swaps or slippage. Every winner and loser is the same size. And it only tests the rules in the table: profit targets, loss limits, trading days, time limits, consistency and payout terms, not rules on news, weekends or hold times. A strategy with no edge fails everywhere, whatever its style.
