Best Target-to-Drawdown Ratio
Profit target divided by max drawdown, shown target first. Lower is better: less profit to earn per dollar of drawdown. Some firms sell targets smaller than the drawdown, so the ratio can run below 1 : 1, and 1 : 1 is not a bottom.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Registry-confirmed companies and a registered broker in the family: three Delaware companies formed the same day in October 2020, plus an affiliated CFTC-registered introducing broker (Slay Markets, NFA ID 0575972, on NFA BASIC) behind the live stage
One-time payments only since the April 2026 3.0 relaunch: no subscriptions, no renewals, nothing to cancel
No activation fees on any current account type
A 90/10 profit split from the very first payout on all sim funded accounts
Lightning Funded is real instant funding: no eval, no minimum trading days, and payouts held back only by profit goals and the consistency rule
Payout speed backed by many trader reports: dated reports of money landing within hours once Rise is set up, some within minutes

Cons

The homepage says 0% Payout Denials, while the firm's own policy pages allow denials and a verified, dated review documents two $15,000 payouts denied plus a ban across its products
The move to Elite Live is required once the firm picks you: the profit split drops from 90/10 to 80/20 (offset by Accelerator reward pools), and an active Live account blocks sim funded trading for your entire household
Growth's payout rules add up: a 35% consistency rule once funded, 5 winning days above a daily profit minimum for your size, a minimum balance (the payout buffer), and caps per request that rise with the payout number. The day count resets after every payout, so you get paid less often than the 5-day count suggests
Lightning has no resets and the highest upfront prices in Tradeify's lineup, so blowing a Lightning account means buying a new one at full price
Skip the Non-Professional Agreement on your first Tradovate login and market data bills at $300 per month
A dated run of platform complaints (July 1 to 5, 2026): three separate reviewers describe frozen Tradovate sessions, close orders that never went through, and accounts blown at the trailing drawdown

Rules at a Glance

The rules that fail people. Tap the info icon beside a rule for the plain-terms version.

DrawdownEOD trailing
How your drawdown line moves. End-of-day trailing rises with your closing balance; intraday trailing rises with every tick of open profit; static never moves. The type decides how much of your own gains you can give back.
Trailing Drawdown Explained
Daily Loss LimitSoft, on some plans
The most you can lose in one session before the day ends. A soft limit ends your day and keeps the account; a hard limit ends the account.
Keeping a Funded Account
Consistency RuleDepends on the plan
Caps how much of your profit can come from one day. Some plans use it in the eval, some once you are funded, and some in both.
- Growth: none in the eval, 35% once funded
- Select: in the eval, none once funded
- Lightning: none in the eval, 20% once funded
Prop Firm Consistency Rule Explained
How Long You Must Hold a TradeNo minimum; scalping limits apply
Whether every trade has to stay open for a set time before you can close it. Some firms set no time but still limit scalping.
Weekend HoldingNot yet verified
Whether positions can stay open over the weekend. Not allowed means everything must be flat before the Friday close.
AutomationAllowed (eval and funded)
Whether bots, EAs and algos are allowed to place trades, at the eval stage and at the funded stage.
Markets You Can't TradeNone listed
Markets the firm will not let you trade in this program.
Sim or LiveMust move to live
Whether the funded account is simulated, live, or starts simulated and can move to live.
Tradeify picks traders at its discretion once they reach 3 payouts on one account or 10 payouts in total since their last move to live. It looks at the whole picture (consistency, risk management, behavior), and the firm says most traders do not move right away. Once you are picked, the move is required and cannot be declined, and every funded account with at least one payout moves to its own Elite Live account.
Funded Trader Earnings
Accounts at OnceUp to 5 funded
How many funded accounts you can hold at the same time at this firm.
Account Stacking
Copy Your Own AccountsAllowed
Whether you may copy your trades across your own accounts at this firm with a trade copier or within your broker.

Rules Detail

Three plans, three sets of funded rules, and the plan you buy is the decision. Growth has a soft daily loss limit and no eval consistency rule, then holds every funded payout until you have five winning days above a daily profit minimum, a minimum balance (the payout buffer) and a 35% consistency rule. Select has no daily loss limit in the eval and asks for a 40% rule over at least three days, then has no consistency rule once funded on either payout path. Lightning starts funded with no eval, carries a strict consistency rule that steps up from 20%, and has no resets, so blowing the account means buying a new one at full price.

The drawdown type is the same everywhere: end-of-day trailing on both stages, so your drawdown line moves once a day, at the close, off your highest end-of-day balance. The microscalping test has two parts and both must hold: over half your trades and over half your profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds. It is checked on sim funded accounts, and failing it blocks payout requests. It never touches me, because I am in a trade five to sixty minutes; check your own average hold before you buy, because the payout check does.

The rest is short. Every position is flat by the close with no overnight holding. Automation is allowed only under the firm's conditions, and copying your own trades across your own Tradeify accounts is allowed as long as it never creates opposing positions. The paragraph below sets out both rules in full. In Canada, only Ontario residents can sign up, and only for sim funded accounts.

Automation: bots and algos are allowed under conditions. You must be the sole owner of the code and prove no one else has access, use it only at Tradeify (not at other firms) and run no high-frequency trading (HFT) bots. You must disclose it, and checks can include account scans and a live video of you turning it on on your own computer. Copy trading: copying your own trades across your own Tradeify accounts is allowed to the extent the help center rules allow, and never where it creates opposing positions across accounts. Team trading, third-party management and copying between different people are banned. Tradeify has a separate copy-trading article with finer rules; check it for your exact setup. The move to live: the profit split drops from 90/10 to 80/20, offset by the Accelerator reward pools, and while a Live account is active no one in your household can buy or trade sim accounts until it is closed. Tradeify's Select announcement describes Elite Live as having no daily loss limit and no cap on sim profit, so risk limits are not tightened at live. Markets: Tradeify publishes no list of markets you can or can't trade; its accounts trade futures through Tradovate and Rithmic. Lightning plan cards show daily loss limits rather than the payout profit goals; the goals are in Tradeify's help articles. Market data: free only if you sign the Non-Professional Agreement on your first Tradovate login; professional data costs $300 a month, the one fee in this lineup that is easy to miss.

Payouts at a Glance

Profit split, speed and the first payout. Tap the info icon for the detail. The evidence is under Payout Evidence below.

Profit Split90/10 sim funded, 80/20 live
Your share of the profit you withdraw. The firm keeps the rest.
Sim funded (Growth, Select, Lightning): 90/10 in your favor. Elite Live: 80/20 on all profits and Accelerator rewards. Live accounts bought before 2025-12-03 keep their original 90/10 terms. So the profit split drops when you move to live, from 90/10 to 80/20, with the Accelerator reward pools as the offset.
Payout Process
First Payout5 winning days on Growth
The number to hit before your first payout: trading days, winning days, or a payout buffer (the profit a firm makes you keep in the account).
Growth: 5 winning days, each above a daily profit minimum for your size ($100, $150, $200 or $250), plus the minimum balance (the payout buffer) and the 35% consistency rule. Select: depends on the payout path (Daily: once you pass the payout buffer; Flex: every 5 winning days). Lightning: the first payout profit goal, $1,500, $3,000, $6,000 or $9,000 by size.
Payout Process
How Often You Can Get PaidOn demand
How often you can request a payout once you meet the first payout rules.
Growth: after every 5 winning days. Select Daily: daily once you pass the payout buffer. Select Flex: every 5 winning days. Lightning: each time you reach the payout profit goal. Elite Live: daily, any amount above your trading capital; a payout that takes the balance to zero closes the Live account.
Payout Process
Payout MethodRise (Plane where Rise is unsupported)
How the money reaches you: a bank transfer, a payment app, or a brokerage transfer.
Rise (default - US, Canada, and most countries); Plane where Rise is unsupported. Rise onboarding requires ID, proof of address, and tax forms.
Payout Process
Max Payout per RequestCapped, by plan
The most you can take in one withdrawal.
Growth: caps scale by payout number and account size. Select: caps depend on the payout path. Lightning: limited by the payout profit goal.
Funded Trader Earnings
Lifetime CapNone published
The most one account can pay out before it closes or moves to live, if the firm publishes a limit.
Funded Trader Earnings
ScalingNo scaling plan
How the account grows: with your balance, by contract limit steps, or by profit split steps.
Elite selection is discretionary and ongoing; monthly reward eligibility is evaluated independently per account each month
Funded Trader Earnings
Payout SpeedWithin hours, after setup
How long the firm takes to process a payout request. Your bank or payout service can add its own time.
First payout requires a day or two for Rise onboarding; after setup, payouts land within hours per dated third-party reports, and some reviewers report funds in minutes.
Payout Process

Payout Evidence

Firm-published, 2026-07-07: The homepage claims (checked 2026-07-07): more than $250 million in Verified Payouts, 0% payout denials, more than 80,000 happy traders, a 4.8 rating badge, and a pledge of no retroactive rule changes. These are the firm's words, not ours, and the dated, verified review below contradicts the zero-denials claim. Source
Community-reported on Trustpilot, 2026-07-03: A verified reviewer describes a smooth payout process: the first payout takes a day or two for the Rise setup, then later payouts hit the account within hours (checked 2026-07-07). Source
Community-reported on Trustpilot, 2026-07-07: Trustpilot's summary of the payment side describes payouts landing within hours or a day or two once set up, some in minutes, and the same summary lists denied payouts, unexpected charges and promo-code failures among the negatives. This is community-reported evidence, and it points both ways. Source
Community-reported on Trustpilot, 2026-07-02: A verified review, updated July 2, 2026, describes two $15,000 payouts denied and a ban across Tradeify's products: an enforcement action on a crypto account was extended to five funded futures accounts. The firm cited prohibited trading activity, and its public reply says its enforcement is based on evidence, without sharing details. We cannot judge who is right on the enforcement, but this one documented denial is enough to contradict the homepage's 0% payout denials claim. Source

Verdict: Who Tradeify Fits

Who this firm fits and who should walk away, in my words.

Good Fit For

Traders who want money out fast. Select Daily takes payout requests every day once you pass the payout buffer, and daily is what I look for.
Traders who copy their own trades across a small stack. It's allowed here, and buying five in one order gets a bundle discount.
Anyone who refuses data fees like I do: market data is free once you sign the Non-Professional Agreement at your first login.

Walk Away If

You want a reset on Lightning. It has none, so a blown Lightning account means a new one at full price; Growth and Select resets are paid.
You want a stack past five. Five funded accounts is limiting to me, and an active Elite Live account blocks sim trading for your household.
You want to stay sim. Once Tradeify selects you for Elite Live the move is mandatory and the profit split drops from 90/10 to 80/20.

Strategic Edges

Stack the bundle: five same-type, same-size Growth or Select accounts at 25K or 50K in one order get the automatic bundle discount, the cheapest price per account here
Buy Select if consistency rules cost you money: pace through the 40% eval rule for three-plus days and the funded side is consistency-free on both payout paths
Do the Lightning math before you pay: each payout needs a fresh profit goal and has a fixed cap, so compare each goal to its cap for your size. There are no resets on this plan
Plan for Elite before it happens: 3 payouts on one account or 10 total puts you in consideration, and the move is mandatory once selected; know the 80/20 split and the Accelerator pool for your size before your third payout

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tradeify consistency rule?

It depends on the account. Growth has no consistency rule in the eval and a 35% rule once funded, meaning no single day can be more than 35% of your total profit. Select flips it: 40% during the eval, then nothing once funded on either payout path. Lightning steps up: 20% on your first payout, 25% on the second, 30% from the third onward. Older threads that complain about a strict 35% to 40% rule describe a setup the firm has since split into separate plans.

How many Tradeify accounts can you have?

Five active Simulated Funded accounts at once, any mix of Growth, Select, and Lightning, counted per household. On the buying side, the limits are 15 evaluations per 30-day period and up to 10 resets per evaluation in a 30-day window. Buying five same-type, same-size Growth or Select accounts at 25K or 50K in one transaction takes the automatic bundle discount at checkout.

Can you copy trade Tradeify accounts?

Yes, your own trades across your own Tradeify accounts. The firm's guidelines allow copying between accounts you own, to the extent the help center rules allow and never where it creates opposing positions across accounts; team trading, third-party management and copying between different people are banned. Tradeify has a separate copy-trading article with finer rules, so check your exact setup there before you run a copier. Bots are a separate policy. They are allowed only if you can prove you alone own the code, use it only at Tradeify, avoid high-frequency trading (HFT), and pass verification, which can include a live video of you turning it on.

Does Tradeify actually pay out?

Dated community reports describe fast payouts, within hours once Rise is set up and some in minutes, so we grade the payout evidence as backed by many trader reports, our stronger grade. The same reviews also describe denials: a verified review updated July 2, 2026 documents two $15,000 payouts denied plus a ban across Tradeify's products, against the homepage's 0% Payout Denials claim. Payout Evidence above dates and sources both sides.

How fast are Tradeify payouts?

The first one takes a day or two, because Rise onboarding - ID, proof of address, and tax forms - happens once up front. After that, dated community reports put payouts at hours, some in minutes.

Is Tradeify legit?

Legit by the paper trail, yes. Three Delaware companies registry-verified back to October 2020, and an affiliated CFTC-registered introducing broker (NFA ID 0575972) you can look up on NFA BASIC yourself. Every fee, reset, payout rule, cap and consistency rule is published before you buy. The homepage marketing is a separate question: it carries claims that the firm's own policy pages and a dated review contradict, and the Cons above date them. Read the payment terms too: any chargeback or payment dispute means a permanent ban from all Tradeify services, terminated accounts and forfeited pending payouts.

Is Tradeify the same as Tradify?

No. Tradify is job-management software for tradespeople, like plumbers and electricians, not traders. With one letter between the names, check the spelling on any code or review you find. Nothing in this review is about that company.

Does Tradeify have a monthly fee?

Not on anything sold today. Tradeify 3.0 made every plan a one-time payment with no recurring billing on April 7, 2026; subscriptions bought before 3.0 kept running until cancelled. Reviews quoting monthly prices describe the old setup. Two ongoing costs remain: commissions on each contract, and market data, which bills at $300 a month unless you sign the Non-Professional Agreement on your first Tradovate login.

What is Tradeify Lightning?

Lightning Funded is Tradeify's instant funding plan: pay once and start on a funded sim account with no evaluation. There is no minimum trading day count, payouts open on profit goals rather than a pass target, the consistency rule steps up from 20%, and there are no resets, so a failed Lightning account means buying a new one. The plan card doesn't show the payout profit goals; they are in Tradeify's help articles and under First Payout above.

What platforms does Tradeify support?

Your broker pick at checkout decides it. Tradovate routes to NinjaTrader and TradingView, Rithmic routes to Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart, and R Trader, and WealthCharts runs as its own third-party platform with a separate login. All of them cost the same - there is no platform surcharge.
