How to pass Tradeify (2026 rules)

Tradeify offers three paths — Growth (cheapest evaluation, one-day minimum), Select (no daily loss limit in the eval, a 40% consistency rule, three-day minimum, and a permanent choice between Daily or Flex funded payouts), and Lightning (instant funding, no evaluation). Account sizes run $25K–$150K with no activation fee and a 90/10 split on sim-funded accounts from the first payout.

EOD trailing everywhere is the headline

The single most important fact: Tradeify applies end-of-day trailing drawdown across all account types. The floor recalculates only at the close, moves up but never down, and locks permanently once your EOD balance exceeds the drawdown amount by $100 (e.g., a $50K account locks at $50,100 once you clear $52,100). Crucially, there is no switch from EOD to intraday when you get funded — the behaviour that trips up Take Profit Trader traders simply doesn't exist here. Your eval sizing carries straight into the funded account.

Why this matters for systematic trading

EOD trailing is exactly the regime PVE's default sizing model targets: intraday swings don't tighten your floor, only your closing balance does, so a strategy that books gains and closes flat each session works with the rule. Because the logic is identical from evaluation to funded, you don't have to re-validate your blow rate against a different mechanic after passing — a genuine advantage over firms that switch.

Passing it

Pick the path that matches your goal: Growth for the cheapest test, Select for the most flexible funded experience, Lightning to skip evaluation entirely. On Select, plan for the 40% consistency rule — no single day above 40% of total profit, which means at least three solid trading days. One contract-type note for portfolio traders: Tradeify doesn't allow trading mini and micro contracts simultaneously, so build your portfolio within a single contract class.
