Three plans, and one permanent choice
Tradeify renamed its lineup in 2026 (Growth, Select, Lightning) and added a fork after passing Select: Flex or Daily, chosen once. The table follows the rules through evaluation and funded stage; the consistency row is the one that flips between stages.
| Rule | Growth | Select (V2 from 1 Sep 2026) | Lightning (instant) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation drawdown | EOD trailing | EOD trailing | none (instant) |
| Daily loss, evaluation | soft breach: the day stops, the account survives | V1 none; V2 carries a DLL ($4,000 on the largest size) | n/a |
| Consistency, evaluation | none | 40% | n/a |
| Minimum days to pass | none (one-day pass) | 3 | n/a |
| Funded variant | Growth funded | Select Flex or Select Daily, chosen once, permanent | Lightning funded |
| Consistency, funded | 35% | none on Flex or Daily | 20% first payout, 25% second, 30% after (accounts bought after 12 Sep 2025) |
| Payout gate | 5 profitable days of $150+ (50K), minimum balance $53,000 on 50K | Flex: 5 qualifying winning days per request; Daily: none | profit goal per cycle from new trades |
| Daily loss, funded | — | Flex none; Daily yes | by size |
| Contract cap 50K | 4 minis / 40 micros | 4 / 40 | 4 / 40 |
| Floor lock | EOD balance $100 above the drawdown | same, or at a payout, whichever first | same |
| Split | 90/10, $250 minimum | 90/10 | 90/10 |
| Fee | one-time; activation waived | one-time; activation waived | one-time |
Which plan for a systematic strategy
Growth has the friendliest evaluation (no consistency, soft daily limit, one-day pass) and the strictest funded stage (35% consistency and five profitable days of $150+ before each payout). Select is the reverse: 40% consistency and three days in the evaluation, then no consistency at all on the funded account, with Flex (no daily limit, five winning days per request, 50% of profit per request) or Daily (daily limit, daily eligibility, smaller caps). Lightning skips the evaluation and pays for it with a consistency ladder that tightens from 20% to 30% over the first three payouts.
A strategy with a lumpy curve should take Select and accept the harder evaluation, because the funded stage is where money is made; a strategy with even days can take Growth. The Flex-or-Daily choice on Select Flex vs Daily; payout details on Tradeify payouts; the full card at Tradeify rules.

| Fits | strategies with fewer, larger green days that can wait five winning days | strategies with steady small days that want daily access and can live inside a daily limit |
| Reversible | no | no |
How to decide, once
The choice is between two gates. Flex gates on time: five qualifying winning days per request, no daily limit, half of profit per request. Daily gates on risk: a daily loss limit that ends the account, in exchange for daily eligibility and a buffer. For a systematic strategy the decisive number is the worst single day in the backtest: if it approaches the Daily limit at the intended size, Daily is a breach waiting to happen and Flex is the only option. If the worst day is well inside the limit and the strategy closes green most days, Daily pays sooner.
Both variants have no consistency rule once funded, which is what makes Select the right evaluation for lumpy strategies despite its 40% rule and three minimum days before passing. Plans on Tradeify plans compared; payouts on Tradeify payout rules.
