Tradeify review 2026

Tradeify is a futures prop firm. It sells three account families: Growth and Select, which are evaluations you pass once before a funded account, and Lightning, which skips the evaluation and starts as a simulated funded account. Growth and Select evaluations come in 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K sizes, and all accounts are one-time purchases. Trading on Tradeify's evaluation and funded accounts is simulated. Traders keep 90% of the profits they withdraw, unless an account type's rules say otherwise. Tradeify may later move a funded trader to a live account, called Tradeify Elite Live, at its own discretion.

Most of the detailed rules sit in Tradeify's Help Center, which its agreement makes binding. Our capture of the Help Center was blocked by a bot check, so this review relies on the home page, the Evaluation Services Agreement (published under the "Funded Trader Agreement" link), the Terms of Use and Tradeify's own blog posts, several of which quote the Help Center. Where only a blog post states a rule, we say so.

The home page makes several marketing claims that we have not verified: "$350M+ Verified Payouts", "0% Payout Denials" and "100,000+ Happy Traders" (another line on the same page says "80,000+ traders"). Tradeify also publishes its own statistics for August 2025 to July 2026: across its Growth, Advanced and Select evaluations, 17.2% of evaluation accounts started were passed, 28.5% of traders at the funded level received a payout, and 3.0% of traders in a funded account were called up to a live account.

Everything in this review comes from Tradeify's own web pages, saved on 7–8 October 2026. Rules and prices change, so check the firm's site before you buy.

Tradeify's home page offers three account families:

• Growth: an evaluation the firm says can be passed in one day, because it has no evaluation consistency rule. The home page lists "5 day payouts" once funded.
• Select: an evaluation with a 40% consistency rule, so it needs at least three trading days. After passing, you choose a Daily or Flex payout policy for that funded account. The choice is permanent.
• Lightning: instant funding with no evaluation, also with "5 day payouts" according to the home page.

The agreement also names an Advanced Challenge, but the home page's account tabs show only Growth, Select and Lightning.

Select prices and evaluation rules. The pricing cards we saved from the home page show the Select programme: their funded side offers the Daily and Flex paths, which Tradeify describes only for Select. Each card is labelled "one time payment".

Each card also showed a lower price under a limited-time discount code offer that the banner said ends on 15 October. Resets are allowed up to 10 times a month. The cards list no activation fee. The consistency line on the cards reads "40%" and "50%" side by side without explanation; Tradeify's blog posts give 40% for the Select evaluation, which is the figure we use.

Prices for Growth and Lightning accounts were not in the pages we saved, so we do not list them.

After passing. A blog post citing the Help Center says there is no activation fee and no waiting period for Growth or Select: you activate the funded account from the dashboard. The funded account starts at the base account size, and evaluation profits do not carry over.

Refunds. The agreement says all fees, including evaluation prices, activation fees and reset fees, are "strictly non-refundable", including after a rule breach. It also says a chargeback leads to a permanent ban and forfeiture of any unpaid payouts.

All accounts: closing time and trading day

Tradeify does not allow overnight positions. Its blog posts, quoting the firm's rules, say all positions must be closed by 4:45 PM ET on regular days and by 12:59 PM ET on designated holiday early-close days. Open positions are closed automatically at the market close. A Tradeify trading day runs from 6:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET the next day. You must place at least one trade per calendar week to keep an account active.

Select

• Evaluation: end-of-day trailing drawdown, no Daily Loss Limit, and a 40% consistency rule (see the table above).
• Funded, Daily path: daily payout eligibility, with a Daily Loss Limit and no consistency rule.
• Funded, Flex path: payouts every 5 winning days, with no Daily Loss Limit and no consistency rule.

On the Flex path, a blog post adds that the minimum profit per winning day depends on account size.

Growth

Tradeify's blog says the Growth evaluation has no consistency rule but has a Daily Loss Limit. Once funded, Tradeify's blog says Growth accounts have a 35% consistency rule: no single day's profit can exceed 35% of total profit when you request a payout. Growth funded traders need at least 5 profitable trading days, with a minimum profit per day based on account size, between payout requests. The home page advertises "No consistency once funded"; that matches the Select funded cards, but Tradeify's blog gives funded consistency rules for Growth and Lightning, so check the Help Center for your account type.

Lightning

Lightning accounts start funded. The blog says the consistency rule is 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% after that, for accounts bought after 12 September 2025. There must be at least 5 trading days between payout requests. A blog post citing the Lightning page says Lightning also has payout caps, minimum payout amounts and size-specific conditions, but our saved pages do not give the figures.

Daily Loss Limit and drawdown

Tradeify's blog says Growth, Lightning and Select Daily funded accounts have a Daily Loss Limit. Hitting it is a soft breach: trading pauses until the next session at 6:00 PM ET, and the account stays open. Breaching the maximum trailing drawdown ends the account. The home page FAQ says crossing a rule like the daily loss limit ends the account; the blog's more specific description is a soft breach, so confirm in the Help Center.

The agreement and Tradeify's blog list these restrictions:

• Hedging: you may not hold long and short positions at the same time in the same product, or in products in the same Product Group (for example Equity Index or Metals). This applies to every account type, within one account, across your own Tradeify accounts, and between a Tradeify account and an account at another prop firm or broker, whatever your intent. A breach puts every account involved in violation and forfeits profits from that period.
• Microscalping: the agreement says 50% or more of your profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds. A blog post adds a second test: over 50% of trades must also be held longer than 10 seconds. Failing it can block account activation or a payout request.
• High-frequency trading: prohibited.
• Bots and algorithms: allowed only if you can prove you are the sole owner, you do not use the bot at other firms, and it is not a high-frequency bot.
• Copying: copying trades with other people, team trading and account management by a third party are prohibited. Copying your own trades across your own accounts is allowed to the extent the Help Center permits.
• Contracts and data: you must use best efforts to trade the active contract month. Trading expired contracts, or seeking stale or erroneous simulated prices, can lead to trades being voided and profits forfeited. Trading from an external or delayed data feed is not allowed.
• Trading plan: the agreement asks for consistent size, stops and targets, and rules out dollar-cost averaging and flipping contracts just to register a trading day.

Mini and micro contracts. One blog post says Tradeify treats trading minis and micros at the same time on one account as hedging. The agreement (last modified May 2026) says you may hold more than one contract size at once if all positions are in the same direction. The sources conflict. The agreement says the Help Center prevails on trading rules, and we could not read it, so do not mix minis and micros on one account until you have confirmed the current rule in the Help Center.

Account limits. Each person, and each household, may hold only one Tradeify account (the login), and at most five simulated funded accounts across all types.

Profit split. The agreement says that, unless an account type's rules specify otherwise, withdrawn profits are split 90% to the trader and 10% to Tradeify. The home page also says "Keep 90% of profit". Profits you do not withdraw stay at risk in the account.

Frequency. Select Daily accounts can request payouts daily. Select Flex and Growth need 5 winning or profitable days between payouts, and Lightning 5 trading days (see the rules above). The home page headline says "Get your first payout in 4 days".

Speed. The home page says "Request a payout, get paid in minutes" and lists "1 hour payouts". The agreement is more cautious: after approval, payment is "typically issued" within 24–48 hours, requests made outside business hours (Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM ET) may take up to 72 hours, and Tradeify can take until the end of the next payout cycle to approve, review or deny a request. Payouts can also be held during a compliance review. We rely on the agreement.

Tradeify Elite Live. The home page says three approved payouts qualify you for Tradeify Elite, its live programme, with "performance rewards up to $18,000 per account". The agreement says the move is at Tradeify's "sole and absolute discretion". Its internal guideline is ten approved payouts since your last live account (or since you started), or three approved payouts on a single funded account, and it creates no right to be moved. Elite Live accounts are issued through NinjaTrader and GFF Brokers; the agreement says Tradeify itself holds no broker-dealer licence. While you hold an Elite Live account you may not hold any other Tradeify evaluation or funded account, and no one in your household may hold any Tradeify account. Elite Live profit splits and other parameters are set in the Help Center, which we could not save.

Scaling. Our saved pages do not describe a plan that increases account size. The agreement says Elite Live accounts have scaling rules, kept in the Help Center, which we could not save.

Platforms. According to Tradeify's blog, citing its Supported Platforms page, you choose one of three connections at checkout: Tradovate, Rithmic or WealthCharts.

• Tradovate credentials work with Tradovate, NinjaTrader and TradingView. NinjaTrader connects through Tradovate only.
• Rithmic credentials work with Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart and R|Trader.
• WealthCharts uses its own platform.

Markets. This review covers Tradeify's futures accounts. The home page also shows "247" and "Forex (New)" tabs, which we did not capture, so we cannot describe those products. The home page says the futures it covers include stock indices such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, metals such as gold and silver, energies such as crude oil and natural gas, currencies, bonds and agricultural products.

Position limits. Maximum contracts depend on account size; the Select figures are in the table above. A blog post gives the same limits for accounts bought after 12 September 2025.

Company. The site is run by Tradeify Holdings, Corp., with an address at 1700 S. Dixie Highway, Suite 305, Boca Raton, FL 33432. The agreement is governed by Florida law, with disputes settled by arbitration in Florida. The site says Novaflame LTD, a company registered in Cyprus, acts as a payment agent for Tradeify Holdings.

Affiliated broker. The site also promotes Slay Markets, the trading name of Tradeify Brokerage LLC, which it describes as a CFTC-registered introducing broker and NFA member (NFA ID 0575972). Tradeify suggests funding a Slay Markets brokerage account with your payouts. That registration relates to the brokerage, not to the prop programme.

Simulated accounts. The home page says you trade "on simulated capital", and the agreement says account funds are "exclusively demo funds unless otherwise stated" and remain the company's property. You are treated as an independent contractor, not an employee.

Eligibility. You must be of legal age to form a binding contract. Tradeify does not accept people in countries on its restricted-jurisdictions list, and some other countries can buy an evaluation but cannot move to Elite Live. Both lists are kept in the Help Center, which we could not save, so we cannot say which countries are affected.

Tradeify fits futures day traders who close every position by 4:45 PM ET and want a one-time fee rather than a subscription. Select suits traders who want no Daily Loss Limit in the evaluation and a choice of daily or 5-day payouts once funded. Growth suits traders aiming to pass quickly, who accept a Daily Loss Limit and a 35% consistency rule once funded. Lightning suits traders who want to skip the evaluation and accept consistency rules from the first payout.

It is a poor fit for swing traders and for anyone who relies on hedging across accounts or very short trades under 10 seconds. Because most rules live in the Help Center and can change, read the current rules for your account type before you buy.

MyPropGenius Rating: 3.1/5 — its Transparency Index score of 62/100 ÷ 20, rounded down
