Tradeify

Boca Raton, FL · tradeify.co

Rules verified against Tradeify's own site on Sep 23, 2026

Tradeify sells two one-step evaluations (Growth, passable in one day with a soft daily loss limit, and Select, a 3-day-minimum evaluation with a choice of Daily or Flex funded payout paths) plus 'Lightning Funded' accounts that skip evaluation entirely, all for one-time fees with end-of-day trailing drawdowns. Funded accounts are simulated and pay 90/10; traders can be considered for the Tradeify Elite live program after 3 approved payouts. Tradeify also runs separate forex and '247' brands not covered here.

Good fit if
You want an evaluation you can pass in a day, an end-of-day drawdown on every account, news trading, a 90/10 split, and owner-built bots allowed.
Look elsewhere if
You scalp in seconds (funded payouts need most trades held over 10 seconds), or you run the same bot at other prop firms, which Tradeify's policy forbids.

What works

  • Growth can be passed in a single day with no evaluation consistency rule.
  • End-of-day trailing drawdown on every account, locking at starting balance + $100 once funded.
  • Select has no daily loss limit in the evaluation, and the Select Flex funded path has none either.
  • 90/10 split on all sim funded accounts, no activation fees and one-time pricing.
  • News trading is unrestricted.
  • Owner-built bots are allowed (non-HFT), and NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView are all supported.

What to watch

  • Funded payouts require more than half of trades and profit to come from trades held over 10 seconds.
  • Only 5 funded accounts per household.
  • Lightning Funded is the priciest route ($492 list for 50K) and carries a 20% to 30% progressive consistency rule.
  • Growth funded accounts have a 35% consistency rule and per-payout caps ($1,500 first payout on 50K).
  • No refunds on any purchase.
  • Running the same bot at other prop firms breaks Tradeify policy, and the Tradovate API is live-only.

Programs and prices

List prices as shown on Tradeify's site on Sep 23, 2026. Firms discount constantly, so the price you pay is often lower. The rules are what matter: they are the same at any price. The drawdown shown is for the stage you buy (the evaluation, or the funded account on straight-to-funded plans); where the funded stage locks or moves differently, the drawdown detail under each table says so.

Tradeify showed promotional prices about 40% below these list prices on the verification date.

Profit split
90/10 on all sim funded accounts; 80/20 on Tradeify Elite live accounts (accounts bought before December 3, 2025 may choose the Legacy Live program's original terms).
How often you can withdraw
Growth: after 5 profitable days meeting the daily minimum. Select Flex: every 5 winning days. Select Daily: daily. Lightning: whenever the cycle profit goal and consistency rule are met (pricing card lists 5 days). Payments issued within 24-48 hours of approval (homepage advertises 1-hour payouts).
