With S2L, DayTraders.com is targeting active futures traders, industry media and market observers following changes in how Futures Prop Firms structure access to firm capital. The company said the program is intended to align trader advancement with measurable performance standards in real market conditions, while keeping the public message focused on process, discipline and responsible growth.
