Tradeify rules at a glance
| Rule | Current terms |
|---|---|
| Plans (help center, September 2026) | Growth (evaluation, formerly the fast path), Select (evaluation, formerly Advanced; V2 since 1 September 2026; funded as Select Flex or Select Daily, the choice is permanent), Lightning (instant, formerly Straight to Sim Funded). Up to 5 simulated funded accounts in any combination; Elite Live after review, often after the fourth payout or $80,000 in payouts (help.tradeify.co, propfirmtrader checked 8 Sep 2026, fundedfuturesfamily 4 Sep 2026) |
| Automation (EAs, bots) | Allowed; anti-HFT and anti-tick-scalping clauses |
| Copy trading | Native Tradovate copying; up to 5 funded accounts per household |
| Drawdown (evaluation) | End-of-day trailing on every plan, updated once at the close |
| Drawdown (funded) | End-of-day trailing; the floor locks permanently once the EOD balance exceeds the drawdown amount by $100, or at a payout on Select, whichever comes first |
| Daily loss limit | Growth: soft breach (the day stops, the account survives). Select evaluation: none on V1; V2 accounts (from 1 September 2026) carry a DLL ($4,000 on the largest size). Funded: Select Daily has one, Select Flex does not; Lightning by size |
| Profit targets | By size; Growth can be passed in one day |
| Consistency | Growth: none in the evaluation, 35% once funded. Select: 40% in the evaluation only, none once funded on Flex or Daily. Lightning: 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second, 30% after (accounts bought after 12 September 2025; earlier accounts stay at 20%). One definition everywhere: biggest end-of-day profit divided by total profit, inclusive, resets after each approved payout, never fails the account, only delays the request |
| Minimum days | Growth evaluation: none (one-day pass); Select evaluation: 3. Payouts: Growth funded 5 profitable days of $150+ (50K) and a minimum balance ($53,000 on 50K); Select Flex 5 qualifying winning days per request; Select Daily and Lightning: none |
| Contract cap (50K) | 4 minis / 40 micros on accounts bought after 12 September 2025 (legacy 5 / 50); minis and micros can be held together |
| News | Allowed; no lockout published |
| Payout | 90% of each approved request, $250 minimum. Growth: caps per request by size and payout number ($1,500 first request on a 50K), minimum balance held. Select Flex: up to 50% of total profit per request, gross cap by size, no buffer. Select Daily: daily eligibility with a buffer and smaller caps. Lightning: profit goal per cycle, earned from new trades, plus the consistency ladder, capped per request |
| Fees | Activation fees waived across plans; one-time Lightning fee |

What this means for a systematic strategy
Tradeify's differentiator is flexibility on holding and news on some plans, which makes it one of the few futures firms a swing-holding strategy can run. The cost is that plan structures change faster than at the established firms — the rule that applied last quarter may not apply now. The tiered 20–30% consistency on Lightning payouts is the tightest in the group and filters strongly for high-frequency, small-winner strategies once funded.
Is Tradeify worth it for a systematic strategy?
Yes in the evaluation, tighter once funded. No consistency rule on the evaluation, one day to pass, EOD trailing and a soft daily limit make the path to funding straightforward. Automation is permitted under the standard anti-HFT boundary, and some plans allow overnight and news — rare in futures.
The funded stage carries the tightest consistency ladder in this group: 20% on the first Lightning payout, 25% on the second, 30% after. A strategy with occasional large winners needs a substantially larger profit base before each request. Plan structures also change faster here than at the established firms, so verify the specific plan rather than the firm.

Does Tradeify allow overnight holds?

None on the evaluation. On Lightning funded accounts it is tiered: 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second, 30% thereafter.
How many Tradeify accounts can I run?

Does Tradeify allow bots or automated trading?
Yes, with anti-HFT and anti-tick-scalping clauses. Copy trading is native through Tradovate, up to 5 funded accounts per household.
Does Tradeify have a daily loss limit?
Growth: a soft breach that stops the day while the account survives. Select evaluation: none on V1; V2 accounts (from 1 September 2026) carry a daily loss limit, $4,000 on the largest size. Funded: Select Daily has one, Select Flex does not, Lightning by size.
Is Tradeify EOD or intraday drawdown?
End-of-day trailing on every plan, updated once at the close. On funded accounts the floor locks permanently once the EOD balance exceeds the drawdown amount by $100, or at a payout on Select, whichever comes first.
