Tradeify Guide: Rules, Payouts, and Evaluation Breakdown

Overview

Tradeify offers a flexible prop firm experience with three distinct account types — including a Straight To Funded option that skips the evaluation phase entirely. The firm uses Tradovate and NinjaTrader as trading platforms and allows up to 7 active funded accounts.

Key highlights:

• 3 account types: Advanced, Growth, and Straight To Funded
• Straight To Funded option — no evaluation required
• Up to 7 active funded accounts
• Unlimited evaluations
• 100% of first $15,000 in profits (per trader, not per account)
• Clear path to live funded trading after 4 payouts

Account Types

Advanced

The Advanced account is designed for traders who prefer intraday trailing drawdown without a daily loss limit. It offers the most flexibility during the trading day but requires tighter real-time risk management.

• Evaluation required
• Intraday trailing drawdown
• No daily loss limit
• 5% maximum drawdown
• 35% consistency rule on funded accounts
• $125 activation fee after passing

Growth

The Growth account adds a daily loss limit as a safety net, using end-of-day trailing drawdown. This is the balanced option for traders who want structure without being overly restrictive.

• Evaluation required
• End-of-day trailing drawdown
• 3.5% daily loss limit
• 5% maximum drawdown
• 35% consistency rule
• No activation fee

Straight To Funded

The Straight To Funded account skips the evaluation entirely — you start trading on a funded account immediately. In exchange, the consistency rule is tighter and there's a daily loss limit.

• No evaluation phase
• End-of-day trailing drawdown
• 3.5% daily loss limit
• 5% maximum drawdown
• 20% consistency rule (stricter than evaluated accounts)
• No activation fee

Payout Structure

Profit split:

• Keep 100% of the first $15,000 in profits (calculated per trader across all accounts)
• 90/10 split on profits beyond $15,000 (you keep 90%)

Payout windows: Twice monthly, on the 1st-4th and 15th-18th of each month.

Minimum payout requirements by account size:

Trading day requirements between payouts:

• 10 separate trading days required between each payout
• At least 5 of those days must show profits exceeding a minimum threshold ($150-$250 depending on account size)
• Account balance must remain above the required minimum through payout approval

Live Funded Transition

After 4 successful payouts from simulated accounts, Tradeify evaluates your trading and either maintains your simulated status with capped payouts or transitions you to a live funded account.

Live funded starting balance: The lesser of your remaining simulated balance or 10% of your account size.

Live Account Rules

Live funded accounts have significantly relaxed rules:

• Keep your balance above zero
• Daily loss limits are optional
• No consistency rule
• Contract limits discussed directly with a risk manager
• Same-day payouts available after 7pm EST
• Uncapped payouts

Live Payout Rules

• Minimum $250 per payout request
• 50% of profits withdrawable after 10 days
• 100% of profits withdrawable after 20 days
• Immediate access to 100% of profits above your initial balance
• Same profit split: 100% of first $15K, 90% after

Trading Rules

Good Faith Policy

Tradeify operates on a "trade responsibly" principle. Avoid exploiting platform errors, discrepancies, or system glitches. Trading should reflect genuine market participation.

Bots and Algorithmic Trading

Automated trading is allowed with conditions:

• Only personally-owned bots are permitted
• No sharing bots across traders or firms
• Bots must be used exclusively within Tradeify
• High-frequency trading is prohibited
• Tradeify may request documentation to verify bot ownership

Microscalping

Trades lasting under 5 seconds should not account for more than 50% of your total profits. This is an advisory guideline — Tradeify reviews accounts that rely heavily on microscalping and may take action if the pattern is excessive.

Account Activity

You must place at least one trade per week. If you need a break from trading, notify Tradeify in advance to avoid account inactivity penalties.

Permitted Strategies

Tradeify places no restrictions on:

• News trading
• Dollar-cost averaging
• Flipping
• Scaling into positions

This flexibility makes Tradeify one of the more strategy-friendly prop firms.

Key Takeaways

• Straight To Funded is rare in the industry — skip evaluation entirely if you're confident
• The $15,000 at 100% profit retention is the most generous per-trader threshold
• Live funded transition after 4 payouts gives a clear goal to work toward
• The 35% consistency rule on evaluated accounts sits between Apex (30%) and MFFU Starters (40%)
• Straight To Funded's 20% consistency rule is the strictest — the tradeoff for skipping evaluation
• No restrictions on news trading, flipping, or scaling gives maximum strategic freedom
• The 7-account limit is lower than Apex (20) but higher than MFFU (3 funded)
