Direct Funded Trader runs one global code rather than rotating campaign codes. That distinction matters more than it sounds: a campaign code is tied to a promotion with an end date and stops working when the promotion ends, while a global code applies across the firm's range for as long as the arrangement lasts. The listing above shows the code currently on file.
In practice this means you are not timing your purchase around a sale. You can decide which challenge you want, take a few days to think it over, and still get the discount when you are ready — which is not true of most firms in this sector.
What our record shows about Direct Funded Trader's pricing
PFTrace re-checks each firm's offer on a daily schedule and keeps a dated record of what was running. That record is the reason we can say something specific rather than generic about how this firm prices.
Direct Funded Trader's offers have been unusually consistent. Across the deals we have logged since mid-2024, the recurring figure has been a half-price reduction on its main evaluation range, with occasional deeper promotions layered on top for specific account sizes. The firm has also run fixed-price entry offers at the low end of its range — the kind of deal where a small account costs a flat dollar figure rather than a percentage off, which can work out cheaper than any discount on a larger account.
That pattern is worth understanding before you buy, because it means the headline percentage is not always the best available deal. A flat-price offer on a small account can represent a much larger effective reduction than a percentage off a bigger one.
Which challenges the code applies to
Direct Funded Trader's evaluation range runs across a series of account sizes, and its promotions have generally covered the middle of that range. A few things to check on the listing above:
- The sizes covered. Percentage-off promotions have typically spanned the main mid-range sizes rather than every tier, so confirm your intended account size is included.
- Whether resets are included. A reset costs money if you breach your limits and want to try again with the same account. Some promotions cover resets and some do not — if you expect to need one, that is worth knowing upfront.
- Whether the offer is a percentage or a flat price. The two are not directly comparable, and in our record this firm has used both.
Applying the code at checkout
- Copy the code from the listing above.
- Follow the link through to Direct Funded Trader's account selection.
- Choose your challenge size and model.
- Paste the code into the promo code field on the checkout screen.
- Confirm the order total changes before you pay.
Step five is not a formality. A code that fails at checkout fails silently — you are simply charged full price, and prop firms do not refund a discount you did not apply at the point of sale.
What the discount does not change
A discount reduces what you pay to enter. It does not change the account you receive, the rules you trade under, or the share of profits you keep. Those are set by the programme you choose, and they are where the real differences between firms live.
Before you commit to any evaluation, read the firm's own terms for the drawdown type and size, the daily loss limit and how it is measured, the profit split, the payout schedule and minimum withdrawal, and any consistency rules that cap how much of your profit can come from a single day. A generous discount on a programme whose drawdown terms do not suit your trading style is not a saving.
The PFTrace glossary defines each of those terms, and how we verify codes explains how often the listing above is re-checked.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Direct Funded Trader code work on every account size?
Not always. Promotions have generally covered the main mid-range sizes rather than every tier. The listing above reflects what the current code covers.
Can I use the code on a reset?
Sometimes. Reset coverage varies between promotions, so check the listing before assuming it applies.
Is the code worth using if I already found a better price elsewhere?
No — and you should check. Where a firm is running a flat-price offer on a specific account size, that can beat a percentage discount on a different one. Compare the actual checkout total rather than the headline percentage.
