Tradeify Review

How Tradeify works

Tradeify sells three futures account types. All are one-time purchases with no activation fee, every account uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown, and funded traders keep 90% of payouts.

Funded accounts are simulated; traders who build a track record can be invited to Tradeify Elite, its live program. Tradeify also runs separate forex and crypto perpetuals products; this review covers futures.

Tradeify rules

Tradeify evaluation rules

Select is the most popular evaluation:

Select has no daily loss limit and a 40% consistency rule (no day above 40% of profit), which means at least 3 trading days. A 50% consistency add-on at checkout lets you pass in 2 days. You choose your payout path only after passing.

Growth has the same targets with a slightly wider drawdown on larger accounts ($3,500 on 100K, $5,000 on 150K), no consistency rule, so you can pass in one day, but it has a daily loss limit ($1,250 on 50K). The daily loss limit is a soft breach: it pauses trading until the next session instead of failing the account.

Lightning Funded skips the evaluation. You start funded with an end-of-day drawdown ($2,000 on 50K, $4,000 on 100K, $5,250 on 150K) and a soft daily loss limit on 50K and above.

Tradeify drawdown rules

Every Tradeify account uses an end-of-day trailing maximum drawdown: it only moves up when the account closes at a new high, so swings in open profit during the day do not tighten it. It is still enforced in real time, so touching it at any moment fails the account. See our trailing drawdown guide for how this compares with intraday drawdown.

Tradeify microscalping rule

Tradeify's most searched rule applies to funded accounts only. To request a payout, more than 50% of your trades must last longer than 10 seconds and more than 50% of your profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds. Tradeify says trades under 10 seconds are hard to copy when it moves traders to live capital. Missing the criteria does not fail the account; you simply cannot request a payout until your trading meets them. It does not apply during an evaluation.

Trading hours, news and other rules

• No overnight positions: close everything by 4:45 PM ET on all account types, including live.
• News trading is allowed. Tradeify has no rules against trading news, dollar-cost averaging, flipping or scaling in and out, but warns about slippage.
• No hedging opposite positions on the same or correlated products.
• Trade each account at least once a week to keep it active.
• Up to 5 funded accounts per person and per household; 5 Select evaluations per 30 days and unlimited Growth evaluations.

Tradeify payout rules

All funded payouts are split 90/10 and paid through Rise (bank transfer or crypto) or Plane, usually within 24 hours.

Select Daily (the "daily payout" path):

Select Flex (5-day payouts): no daily loss limit and no consistency rule. You can request a payout after 5 winning days ($100, $150, $200 or $250 per day depending on size), up to 50% of your profit, capped at $1,250 (25K), $2,500 (50K), $3,500 (100K) or $4,500 (150K) per payout for accounts bought after September 1, 2026.

On both Select paths, after your first payout you must be net positive in the current cycle before requesting the next one.

Growth Funded: 5 winning days per cycle with the same daily thresholds, a 35% consistency rule, and a minimum balance to qualify ($53,000 on a 50K account). Each payout is capped by account size and payout number.

Lightning Funded: no minimum trading days. Each payout unlocks at a profit goal and needs the progressive consistency rule (20% for the first payout, 25% for the second, 30% after that). Payouts are capped per request; on a 150K account the first payout goal is $9,000 but the first withdrawal is capped at $3,000.

Tradeify live account (Tradeify Elite)

Tradeify advertises three approved payouts as the milestone for its live program, Tradeify Elite, with performance rewards of up to $18,000 per account. Reaching the milestone does not guarantee a move; Tradeify reviews consistency and risk management and contacts selected traders. When a trader moves live, sim accounts close and every funded account that has received at least one payout transitions to an Elite Live account starting from a $0 balance, with no sim profit carried over.

Is Tradeify legit?

Tradeify says it has paid more than $350 million to traders and reports a 0% payout denial rate on its homepage. Its rules, payout caps and examples are documented in detail in a public help center, which we used for this review, and it runs an official Discord community. Its affiliated broker, Tradeify Brokerage LLC (Slay Markets), is a CFTC-registered introducing broker and NFA member, according to Tradeify. Traders go through KYC before being paid.

Who Tradeify is for

Tradeify suits futures day traders who want an end-of-day drawdown everywhere, a 90/10 split and the freedom to trade news. Choose Select Daily if you want frequent smaller payouts, Select Flex for larger payouts with no daily loss limit, Growth to pass quickly, and Lightning if you would rather pay more to skip the evaluation. If most of your trades last only a few seconds, read the microscalping rule first.
