Elevate Your Trading Experience
daytradr platform is used by thousands of independent traders and a number of professional prop firms to read auction dynamics and place trades.
The platform that serves the trader.
Your trading platform must serve you, not the other way round. Other platforms are "IKEA" platforms, not out-of-the-box solutions. They hand the trader a kit of parts and expect them to assemble it, or they pile on a feature checklist that looks impressive in a comparison table but slows you down at the desk. daytradr makes opinionated choices about what an order-flow trader actually needs and gets out of the way for everything else.
In daytradr, the DOM, the charts, the order management, the alerts and the automated journaling all behave as one platform rather than separate features stitched together.

Experience the Difference
Words only get you so far. Watch a three-minute walkthrough of a trade from setup to exit, and see how the DOM, charts, order management and journaling actually behave as one platform.
What our customers say
Our traders experience a mindset transformation about trading.
They describe the shift from technical indicators to order flow as the most significant change in how they trade.
"I stay in winning trades longer, cut losses sooner, and my execution is more accurate."
We also hear: "I'm more disciplined, patient, prudent, and make more rational trading decisions."
They also mention that it is "intuitive," "easy to use," and "doesn't get in the way."

Main Features
The HEART OF DAYTRADR
The Depth & Sales
This is the heart of daytradr. Every other tool is read alongside it or feeds back into it. This is where you will get a visceral feel for trading activity, where you will see the interaction between the different forces of the market and the cornerstone of a professional trader's decision-making process.
Watch the interaction between market orders and resting orders, see who's in control, where traders are getting stuck and the likely location of their stop orders.
Discover where big traders are pulling (cancelling their orders), stacking (iceberging) and front-running the market in anticipation of the market holding.

Main components:
- - One-click order entry: The D&S knows which order you want to enter according to where you click. Fast execution.
- Tick size compression: Reduce the visual tick increment of an instrument. Tame the volatility tiger and make your favorite market easier to read.
- Cross-instrument trading: Trade a micro contract while watching the parent's instrument order flow.
- Momentum Tails: Highlight the trail of momentum on the bid or ask side. Quickly and visually identify the aggression of a move.
- Automated Order Management features: Automate your order management with multi leg strategies, trailing stops and targets, auto break-even and bracket orders.
- Volume Stops: Send your entry or exit order only when liquidity drops below a configurable threshold. Exclusive daytradr feature.
- And many other features like Power Meter and Pace Of Tape gauges, Hotkeys, Smart Queue...
Heatmap
Auction Vista
Auction Vista is daytradr's self-tuning heatmap. Market Depth and large trade activity visualization made easy.
Our Large Trade Circles proprietary algorithm reveals areas of high trading volume that trade at a level over time. Watch the possible end of a volume blow off, an iceberg refilling, a trapped-buyer top or a trapped-seller bottom.
See only the circles that you care about, when you need to see them. Other heatmaps might be prettier, but you don't need expensive eye candy to be profitable.
Similar tools position the heatmap as the trader’s primary execution surface. daytradr deliberately does not. Order placement on a ladder is faster, more precise, and more legible than order placement on a heatmap, especially in fast markets and especially for traders sizing up.
Auction Vista includes Price Delta chart, Cumulative Delta, Volume Delta bars, Depth Histogram and Flip charts.

charting layer
daytradr Charts
daytradr's chart layer is built to do two jobs: support the way order-flow traders actually trade and work out-of-the-box.
We aren’t trying to do what everyone else is doing. This is what 99% of traders need from their charting — without the thousand settings to get there.
Learning order flow doesn't mean getting rid of your charts. It means using them for what they're best at. Charts show you where price has been. The ladder shows you what it's doing now. daytradr gives you both, working together, on the same execution standard.
Candlestick, Footprint, Reversal Footprint, Market Profile, and proprietary indicators that combine order flow and volume like JT Swing Charts, FootPrint Stats and 3 Volume Profile modes, are all included. No add-ons. No upgrade tier. Need more indicators? daytradr charts include a library of the most popular ones.
Trade markers and chart-side order management: Fills, working orders, and position lines on every chart. Drag, place and manage your orders. All without leaving the chart.

TRADE SIMULATOR AND REPLAY
Realistic Trade Simulator and Market Replay
Most SIM engines flatter you. Fills look great in practice. Then you go live, and the prices you get look nothing like what you trained on.
daytradr's Trade Simulator gives you realistic fills on limit orders and proper slippage on market and stop orders. Going live feels like just another trade.
daytradr's Trade Simulator is included at no extra cost, from day one, on every supported feed. You can run daytradr on SIM indefinitely until you decide you're ready to trade real money. Pay once. Develop your trading skills without recurring fees.
Market Replay is available with a Tradovate replay subscription. No data download. Connect and replay.
Most platforms force you to disconnect from live to use replay. daytradr doesn't. Replay and live run side by side on the same instance. Study a setup on replay while watching the live session. Run drills during quiet hours or when you get back from work. Replay the morning session after the close to review setups you missed.

Automated Trade Journaling & Stats.

Trade history, trade calendar, leaderboard, hashtag tagging and basic statistics are included for free.
Advanced features like Profit Seeker (tells you what is making you money and what is not working), the Playbook, Real-time browser-notification journaling, Hashtag analytics, and advanced search are included in the Market Intelligent Edge subscription.

FAQs
Do you offer a free trial?
No. daytradr has a 14-day money-back guarantee rather than a free trial. The goal is to give serious buyers a fair decision window without turning the platform into a tire-kicker download.
How do you read the price ladder?
Many traders see the numbers and think they need to do math in their heads. Far from it. You need to see the interaction between the resting orders and the market orders consuming the liquidity. Our Education packages teach you how, step by step.
Will daytradr make me profitable?
No platform can promise that. daytradr gives you the order-flow tools, execution workflow, sim environment, and education to improve how you read, execute, manage, and review trades. The work still has to be done by the trader.
What does DOM mean?
DOM stands for Depth of Market. It's the order book showing bids and offers at each price level, also called the price ladder.
Do I need to stop using my charts?
No. Many traders use order flow reading alongside charts, levels, and indicators. The point is to add the live order-flow layer: liquidity, aggression, momentum, participation, and trade management.
What makes order flow different from chart trading?
Charts show you where price has been. Order flow shows you what the market is doing right now: who's buying, who's selling, where size is sitting, and where traders are getting stuck. All the information that charts and indicators show comes from the DOM. If you are not reading the DOM, you're trading behind your competitors.
Can I use daytradr with my trader funding prop firm?
Yes. Many traders now develop through sim and prop-style paid sim or evaluation routes before live trading. Some prop workflows may require Jigsaw to add or support the provider in the platform.
What's the difference between Futures and Forex or CFDs?
Futures trade on regulated exchanges with centralized order books and transparent depth. Forex and CFDs are over-the-counter, with prices set by dealers rather than a public order book. There's no order book depth to read on those markets.
Does daytradr tell me exactly what trades to take?
No. daytradr is not a signal service or trade-calling room. It gives you the order-flow execution tools and education to read the market, time entries, manage trades, and build your own decision process.
