Day Trade Dash pricing and cost per month for small cap traders
Day Trade Dash, the scanner and software add-on from Warrior Trading, costs $147 to $247 per month in October 2026. Members pay $147 without the simulator and $197 with it. Non-members pay $197 without the simulator and $247 with it. That is $1,764 to $2,964 a year. DayTradingSoftware gives you a real-time scanner, alerts and a trading journal from $49 per month.
How much Day Trade Dash costs per month
These numbers come from the Warrior Trading membership page, checked in October 2026. Warrior changes its offers often, so confirm on the day you buy.
| Plan | Member price | Non-member price | Yearly cost at non-member price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day Trade Dash without simulator | $147 per month | $197 per month | $2,364 |
| Day Trade Dash with simulator | $197 per month | $247 per month | $2,964 |
The member price applies if you already hold a Warrior Starter or Warrior Pro membership, which is the course side of the company. If you only want the software, you are a non-member and pay the higher column. Warrior also sells bundles where the add-ons are included, so the right number for you depends on whether you want the course at all.
Older reviews quote $147 for the scanner and $97 for the simulator. Those are stale, which is why a review from two years ago will not match the page you see today.
What you get for that money
Warrior describes Day Trade Dash as scanners, charts, news and, on the higher tier, a web simulator with Level 2. In practice that means three things a small cap momentum trader uses every morning.
- Gap, momentum and low float style scanners tuned for the stocks Warrior teaches.
- A news feed attached to the scan rows, so you see the catalyst next to the ticker.
- A simulator for practice, only on the more expensive tier.
What the pricing does not include is a trade journal that reads your fills. If you want to know after 100 trades which setups pay you, you export to a spreadsheet or pay for a second tool. That second tool usually costs $30 to $60 per month, so the real cost of scanner plus journal at Warrior is closer to $180 to $300 per month.
Is Day Trade Dash worth it
It is worth it in two situations. You trade small caps on the Warrior method and want the news feed and scanner built around it. Or you use the simulator seriously, since the simulator is most of the $50 gap between tiers.
It is hard to justify when you already know the setup you trade and only need a fast scanner with alerts. Then you pay for a course ecosystem you do not use. At $197 per month the scanner has to help you make an extra $2,400 a year just to break even on the subscription, before any trading loss.
A simple test: write down the three scans you open every morning. If you can recreate them with float, gap %, relative volume and price filters, a standalone scanner does the same job for a quarter to half of the price.

We list the full detail in the Warrior Trading scanner alternative breakdown, the Scanz alternative page and the Trade Ideas pricing article. For a scanner-by-scanner comparison of premarket features, read the best premarket scanner roundup.
We do not have a live news feed or a simulator. If those two are why you pay Warrior, our product is not a replacement. If you mostly use the scanner, the table shows the gap.
What a year of scanner plus journal really costs
Add it up on the plans above. Day Trade Dash at the non-member price is $2,364 to $2,964 per year. A Pro plan billed yearly is $888, and Starter billed yearly is $288. The difference is $1,476 to $2,676 a year that stays in your account.
Subscription fees and data are business expenses for traders who qualify for trader tax status, and your broker reports gains on a 1099-B, so keep the invoices with your records. When it is time to prepare a return, filing taxes online with an AI that reads your 1099s saves the manual entry of a year of trades.
A note on risk
A cheaper scanner does not make trades profitable. Low float stocks gap, halt and reverse fast, and most day traders lose money. Use a scan to find candidates, size from your stop, and keep a journal. DayTradingSoftware is a software tool, not investment advice. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.
