Tradeify is a US-based futures prop firm operated by Tradeify Holdings, Corp. and launched in June 2024. It sells one-step evaluations and instant funded accounts, mostly from $25K to $300K, across three main program families: Select, Growth and Lightning. In November 2026 its home page also listed an Inter Miami Limited Edition evaluation starting at a 10K account. Its main draws are no daily loss limit on evaluations up to $150K, instant funding at evaluation prices and few style restrictions. The trade-offs are crypto-only payouts, payout caps on every funded program and a short track record. Rules vary by program and, for Select, by purchase date, so an older account may run on different terms from those described here.
What Tradeify offers
Tradeify is built around futures. Its asset list also includes perpetual futures (“perps”) and FX, and the company has started a separate forex offering under the Tradeify FX name. This review covers the futures accounts.
Tradeify supports Tradovate, WealthCharts and Rithmic connectivity. Sierra Chart, TradingView, Tradesea, Quantower, R Trader (Rithmic’s own front end) and NinjaTrader may also be available, so confirm your platform for the specific account before checkout.
The accounts are simulated. Tradeify’s own rules refer to “Simulated Funded Accounts,” so profits are paid out under the firm’s payout policy, not earned as trading capital in a live brokerage account.
Programs: Select, Growth and Lightning
Select is the one-step evaluation path. You pass a single evaluation phase, then pick a payout policy (Select Flex or Select Daily). You do not choose the payout policy until after you pass.
Lightning is the instant funded route. There is no evaluation, but the funded account carries a tiered consistency rule and profit goals before each payout.
Growth is a funded program with a 35% consistency rule and a minimum number of profitable days per payout cycle.
The Select evaluation
The evaluation has a 40% consistency rule. No single trading day can account for more than 40% of your total profit while you are in the evaluation. You can upgrade this to 50% at checkout. That upgrade also advertises a two-day pass period, and it costs extra by account size:
- $25K: +$26
- $50K: +$40
- $100K: +$64
- $150K: +$90
Once funded on Select, the consistency rule no longer applies.
Costs
Evaluations and instant funded accounts are sold as one-time fees, not monthly subscriptions. At each size the evaluation and the instant funded account carry the same price.
Prices step up from the $25K account to the $300K account, and discounts against list prices run at times.
Two other costs sit outside the account fee:
- Commissions. Tradeify charges per-contract trading commissions that vary by product. The schedule is published in its help center. On small accounts where you trade micros frequently, commissions eat into a payout cycle’s net profit, and later payouts require positive net profit for the cycle.
- Consistency upgrade. The optional 50% upgrade on Select evaluations, priced above.
Profit targets and drawdown
Each evaluation pairs a profit target with an end-of-day (EOD) maximum loss, and the proportions shift with account size:
| Evaluation | Target as % of account | Max loss as % of account |
|---|---|---|
| $25K | 6% | 4% |
| $50K | 6% | 4% |
| $100K | 6% | 3% |
| $150K | 6% | 3% |
| $300K | about 4.7% | about 2.7% |
The target stays at 6% through $150K, while the drawdown room shrinks from 4% to 3% of the account. On the $100K and $150K evaluations you need twice your drawdown in profit to pass, against 1.5 times on the $25K and $50K.
The $300K evaluation has a daily loss limit of $4,000. The smaller Select evaluations have none, though the Inter Miami Limited Edition evaluation listed on the home page carries a daily loss limit starting at $300. Instant funded accounts all carry a daily loss limit. On the $25K funded account it is $500, half of its $1,000 maximum loss.
The EOD drawdown is measured from your closing balance, not from intraday equity peaks, so open profit you give back before the close does not raise your floor the way a real-time trailing drawdown would.
Tradeify warns against using the daily loss limit as a stop loss. In fast markets, the system’s protection may not fill at the limit. Slippage can then push the account through the trailing maximum drawdown, which is a more serious breach than hitting the daily limit.
Trading rules
Position limits
On Growth, Select and Lightning funded accounts, maximum size is tied to account size:
- $25K: 1 contract (10 micros)
- $50K: 4 contracts (40 micros)
- $100K: 8 contracts (80 micros)
- $150K: 12 contracts (120 micros)
Minis and micros can be held together. The combined position must stay within the limit, counted at 10 micros per mini.
Session times
A Tradeify trading day runs from 6:00 PM ET to 5:00 PM ET the next day. All positions must be flat by 4:45 PM ET, Monday to Friday, before the daily maintenance break. If you are still in a trade at the close, Tradeify closes it for you. This does not fail the account, but the fill can be poor. Holiday closing times differ and are posted on the firm’s Discord server.
Hedging
Hedging is prohibited across all accounts you control, not just within one account. Holding opposite positions in the same or correlated products counts as a hedge. For example, a long MES position held with a short NQ position counts as a hedge.
Microscalping
This rule applies only at the funded stage. You must meet both conditions:
- More than 50% of your trades last longer than 10 seconds.
- More than 50% of your profit comes from trades held longer than 10 seconds.
Automated strategies
Personal bots and EAs are allowed, with conditions:
- You must prove you are the sole owner of the bot or strategy, and that no one else uses it.
- Tradeify scans for matching orders on other accounts and can ask for a live video of you enabling the code on your own computer.
- The bot cannot be run across multiple prop firms.
- High-frequency trading bots are not allowed.
- Tradeify can request documentation if its risk checks flag your account.
Copy trading and multiple accounts
You may copy trades only between accounts you own and manage. Copying another trader or sharing strategies is prohibited. Third-party trade copiers are allowed at your own risk, and Tradeify does not support errors they cause.
One person can hold up to five simulated funded accounts at once, and the same cap of five applies to a household.
News, DCA, flipping and scaling
Tradeify has no rules against trading news, dollar-cost averaging into a position, flipping direction, or scaling in and out. It does discourage open-ended averaging into a losing position with no plan, adding until the trade gets back to breakeven.
Inactivity and access
Each account, not each user, needs at least one trade per week (Monday to Friday) to stay active. Inactive accounts can be closed after an email warning.
Logging in through a VPN or VPS is not permitted. After a normal login, VPS trading is at your own risk. Using remote environments to hide your identity, device, network or location is banned.
Prohibited practices
The firm’s prohibited list also includes:
- exploiting errors
- disruptive or manipulative trades
- using external or slow data feeds
- collaborative trading
- trading expired contracts
- exploiting non-active contracts or simulated market data
Payouts
The main programs pay a 90% profit split, though the Inter Miami Limited Edition evaluation on the home page advertises an 80% profit split plus 10% to Live Funds, and payouts go out in crypto only. Once a payout is approved, the amount is withdrawn from the account immediately. Payment follows within 24 to 48 hours on most programs. Requests submitted outside business hours (Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET) or on federal holidays can take up to 72 hours. Only one payout request can be open per account at a time.
Tradeify reports $400M+ in verified payouts on its home page, a figure that has not been independently verified.
Select Flex and Select Daily (accounts bought after September 1, 2026)
Select Flex lets you withdraw up to 50% of total profit, meaning current balance minus starting balance. Each payout is capped by account size:
- $25K: $1,250
- $50K: $2,500
- $100K: $3,500
- $150K: $4,500
Select Daily lets you request up to twice the profit earned since your last request. Each request is capped by account size:
- $25K: $600
- $50K: $1,250
- $100K: $1,750
- $150K: $2,500
Under both policies, after the first payout the current cycle must be net positive once any losses are recovered.
Hypothetical example, assuming a $50K Select Flex account with $3,000 in total profit: 50% of profit is $1,500, which sits below the $2,500 cap. The maximum request is $1,500, and your share at a 90% split is $1,350.
Select accounts bought before September 1, 2026
Legacy Flex pays after every five winning days. A winning day must reach a minimum profit: $100 on $25K, $150 on $50K, $200 on $100K and $250 on $150K. Each payout is capped at 50% of balance, up to:
- $25K: $1,250
- $50K: $3,000
- $100K: $4,000
- $150K: $5,000
There is no minimum balance requirement. The drawdown locks at starting balance plus $100 once the EOD balance reaches starting balance plus the drawdown plus $100. On a $50K account, that means a lock at $50,100 when the closing balance reaches $52,100. One description of this rule says a payout request triggers the lock earlier. Another says the lock is not linked to payouts. Confirm which applies to your account with Tradeify.
Legacy Daily uses a buffer you must exceed before any withdrawal: $1,100 on $25K, $2,100 on $50K, $2,600 on $100K and $3,600 on $150K. You can request up to twice the profit above the buffer. Requests are capped at $600, $1,000, $1,500 and $2,500 by size, and the minimum payout is $250.
Lightning
Lightning funded accounts have a consistency rule that loosens with each payout. Your best day can be at most 20% of profit for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% from the third onward. No minimum trading days apply.
Each payout also needs a profit goal measured against starting balance:
| Account | 1st payout | Later payouts |
|---|---|---|
| $25K | 6% | 4% |
| $50K | 6% | 4% |
| $100K | 6% | 3.5% |
| $150K | 6% | 3% |
Each goal must come from fresh profit since the previous payout, and leftover profit from the last cycle does not carry over. Payout caps rise over the early payouts and stay level after the fourth. The $25K account is capped at $1,000.
In practice, a 6% gain with no day above 20% of total profit means spreading the result over at least five days. On a $25K account, $1,500 of profit allows a best day of no more than $300.
Growth
Growth funded accounts apply the 35% consistency rule to payouts. You also need at least five trading days with profit above $100 on $25K, $150 on $50K, $200 on $100K or $250 on $150K. That day count resets to zero after each successful payout.
The account balance must also reach a set level before you can withdraw:
- $25K: $26,500
- $50K: $53,000
- $100K: $104,500
- $150K: $156,500
Payout caps increase with account size and with the number of approved payouts.
Strengths and trade-offs
Where Tradeify is strong:
- No daily loss limit on evaluations up to $150K, plus an EOD drawdown that ignores intraday peaks.
- No consistency rule once funded on Select, with frequent small withdrawals on Select Daily.
- Few style restrictions: news, DCA, flipping, scaling and personal bots are allowed.
- Instant funding at evaluation prices.
Where it costs you:
- Crypto-only payouts, so you need a wallet and must handle conversion yourself.
- Tight drawdown relative to the target on $100K and $150K evaluations.
- Terms vary by program, size and purchase date. Two traders with “a Tradeify $50K” can be on very different rules.
- Payout caps on every funded program, so a strong month may take several cycles to withdraw.
- A short track record since mid-2024 and a self-reported payout total.
How we checked Tradeify
We visited tradeify.co on 13 November 2026, connecting from Tallinn, Estonia. The home page opened normally. At the bottom of the page the footer names Tradeify Holdings Corp., at 1700 S. Dixie Highway, Suite 305 Boca Raton, FL 33432, as the trademark owner. It also describes Tradeify Brokerage LLC d/b/a Slay Markets as an introducing broker registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and a National Futures Association member under NFA ID 0575972. We saw no risk warning on the home page.
Prices were easy to find. The home page led with an Inter Miami Limited Edition one-step evaluation listed at $113 for the 10K account, $219 for 25K and $376 for 50K. Next to those it showed $79, $153 and $263 per evaluation, and it promoted the code NOV. That program advertises an 80% profit split plus 10% to Live Funds, a static drawdown and daily payouts. Clicking “Start Evaluation” took us to a checkout page on app-f.tradeify.co that showed two prices. Our notes do not record a sign-up step before that page, though we cannot rule one out. We stopped there and bought nothing. On a strategy page the firm states that positions must be closed by 4:45 PM Eastern Time and that over 50% of trades must be held longer than 10 seconds.
The register matched. On 13 November 2026 we searched NFA BASIC for NFA ID 0575972. It returned TRADEIFY BROKERAGE LLC with the status NFA Member Approved, listed as an Introducing Broker, with both entries dated 04/20/2026. That record covers the brokerage company. It is not a record for Tradeify Holdings Corp.
On Trustpilot, Tradeify held 4.6/5 from 7,179 reviews when we read the page on 13 November 2026. The Wayback Machine’s first capture of the domain is from 2021-12-26, which may predate the current brand. Some things stayed out of reach. The help center’s rule and payout collections showed only a holding page to us, so we could not read them. The $400M+ payout figure is the firm’s own claim.
Who Tradeify may suit
Tradeify fits futures traders who trade the US session, close flat before 4:45 PM ET, and can spread profits across several days. Select suits traders willing to pass an evaluation for a funded stage with no consistency rule. Lightning suits those who want to skip the evaluation and can meet its first payout goal.
The firm is a weaker fit if you need bank or card payouts, rely on sub-10-second scalping for most of your profit, or want to run one algorithm across several prop firms.
