Tradeify

Select 300K (V2) is $349. Lightning instant-funding accounts run $345–$796. No activation fee on any plan.

Overview

Tradeify sells futures evaluations as one-time purchases rather than monthly subscriptions, and none of its plans carry an activation fee. You pay once, trade until you pass or breach, and know your total cost up front unless you buy a reset. There are three main ways in: the Growth evaluation (no consistency rule, one-day minimum), the Select evaluation (no daily loss limit, 40% consistency rule, a choice of payout policy once funded) and Lightning Funded accounts that skip the evaluation entirely. Tradeify suits traders who want a predictable entry cost, broad platform choice across Tradovate, Rithmic and WealthCharts, and clearly documented rules. It is less suited to traders who want to hold positions overnight, since positions cannot carry from one session into the next. We explain how we weigh these factors on our how we rank page.

Plans and prices

All prices below are one-time purchases taken from Tradeify's pricing reference. There is no activation fee on any plan. Resets are available on Growth and Select (except 300K) at the reset price shown.

Growth evaluation

Growth accounts bought before September 12, 2025 keep higher position limits (5, 10 and 15 minis on 50K, 100K and 150K).

Select evaluation (40% consistency)

A 50% consistency add-on raises Select prices to $135, $205, $329 and $459 (resets $90, $145, $230 and $319). A limited-release Select 300K account costs $349 (V2) with no resets; its rules sit in a separate Tradeify article and are not covered here.

Lightning Funded (no evaluation)

Lightning accounts cannot be reset. Tradeify offers 5% off when you buy five identical Growth or Select 25K or 50K accounts in one checkout. All sales are final.

Rules explained

Drawdown

Every evaluation uses an end-of-day (EOD) trailing maximum drawdown. The limit only moves up based on your balance at the close of each trading day, so open-trade swings during the session do not ratchet it higher. The level is still enforced in real time, though. If your net liquidation value touches it at any point in the session, the account fails, even if price recovers before the close.

On funded Select accounts the trailing drawdown locks at $100 above the starting balance once the end-of-day balance reaches a trigger. For Select Flex the triggers are $26,100, $52,100, $103,100 and $154,600 for the four sizes. For Select Daily they are $26,100, $52,100, $102,600 and $153,600.

Daily loss limit

Growth has a soft daily loss limit. Hitting it stops trading for the rest of the day but does not fail the account. Select has no daily loss limit in evaluation. Once funded, Select Flex has no daily loss limit, while Select Daily adds one ($500, $1,000, $1,250 and $1,750 by size).

Consistency rule and minimum days

Growth has no consistency rule and a one-day minimum, so you can pass on your first day. Select has a 40% consistency rule: no single day can make up more than 40% of total profit. That effectively means at least three trading days. The 50% add-on can make a two-day pass possible. The consistency rule applies only during the Select evaluation, not on the funded account.

News, overnight and weekend rules

News trading is allowed. Positions can only be held within one trading session, which runs from 6:00 p.m. ET to 4:45 p.m. ET the next day, and all positions must be closed by 4:45 p.m. ET. Weekend trading is not allowed. Hedging, including opposite positions on correlated instruments or across accounts, is prohibited.

Activity and limits

Each evaluation and funded account must place at least one trade per week (Monday to Friday), or it can be closed after an email warning. There is no time limit to reach the target. You can hold up to five funded accounts per household and activate up to five Growth funded accounts per day.

Scaling

Funded Select accounts start below the evaluation contract limit and scale up based on end-of-day equity. A 50K account starts at 2 minis (20 micros), moves to 3 minis at $1,500 profit and 4 minis at $2,000. A 150K account starts at 3 minis and reaches 12 minis at $4,500 profit. Limits increase the next trading day and do not decrease afterward.

Payouts

The profit split on simulated funded accounts is 90% to you and 10% to Tradeify. Elite Live accounts, which trade real capital, pay 80/20 with daily payouts. Payouts go through Rise (bank transfer or crypto) or Plane. PayPal is not supported. KYC is required before your first payout.

Select Flex

You can request a payout every five winning days. A winning day is $100 or more on 25K, $150 on 50K, $200 on 100K and $250 on 150K. Each payout can be up to 50% of total profit, with a $250 minimum and a per-payout cap. For accounts bought on or after September 1, 2026, the caps are $1,250 (25K), $2,500 (50K), $3,500 (100K) and $4,500 (150K). Accounts bought earlier keep the older, higher caps on 50K to 150K.

Select Daily

Select Daily lets you request a payout each day once the session closes, as long as you have profit since the last payout and the balance stays above a fixed buffer. Tradeify lists the buffers as $1,100, $2,100, $2,600 and $3,600 by size, and withdrawals cannot take the balance below them. Each payout can be up to twice the profit earned since the last payout, with a $250 minimum. Caps for purchases on or after September 1, 2026 are $600, $1,250, $1,750 and $2,500. Your choice between Flex and Daily is permanent for that account.

Growth

Growth funded accounts follow a single fixed payout policy and need five profitable trading days before a payout. We could not open Tradeify's dedicated Growth payout article, so check the current caps and minimums in your dashboard before you trade.

How to request

Requests are made from the Tradeify dashboard, one open request per account at a time. Tradeify says they are usually processed within 24 hours after Rise onboarding, or up to 72 hours over a weekend. After every payout, cycle profit resets to zero. To request a payout, more than 50% of your funded trades must be held longer than 10 seconds and more than 50% of profit must come from those trades.

Who should choose it

Tradeify fits day traders who want to pay once and know their maximum cost, and who flatten before the 4:45 p.m. ET cutoff anyway. Growth suits traders who might make most of their profit in one or two big days, since there is no consistency rule. Select suits traders who want no daily loss limit and a choice between frequent small payouts (Daily) or larger ones every five winning days (Flex).
