Tradeify payout rules at a glance
Every Sim Funded account splits 90/10: "Traders receive 90% of the payout amount requested." Each request is capped by plan and size, and on Growth and Lightning by the payout number too.
| Size | Select Flex | Select Daily | Growth, payout 1 / 2 / 3 / 4+ | Lightning, payouts 1–3 / 4+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | 50% of profit, up to $1,250 | above the buffer, up to $600 | $1,000 each | $1,000 each |
| 50K | 50% of profit, up to $2,500 | above the buffer, up to $1,250 | $1,500 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 | $2,000 / $2,500 |
| 100K | 50% of profit, up to $3,500 | above the buffer, up to $1,750 | $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,000 / $4,000 | $2,500 / $3,000 |
| 150K | 50% of profit, up to $4,500 | above the buffer, up to $2,500 | $2,500 / $3,000 / $4,000 / $5,000 | $3,000 / $3,500 |
| Smallest request | $250 | $250 | $250, $500, $1,000, $1,500 for 25K to 150K | $1,000 |
The Select columns are for accounts bought from September 1, 2026. Under each cap sits a formula:
- Select Flex: 50% of total profit, "current balance minus starting balance," and "not just the profit made during the current cycle." Tradeify's 50K example: a cycle ending at $54,000 allows 50% of $4,000, or $2,000.
- Select Daily: the first request can take everything above the buffer. From the second, it's also limited to "up to 2× the profit earned between each payout request": at $53,500, $250 of new profit allows $500, and $100 allows nothing, since $200 is under the $250 minimum.
- Growth and Lightning: a fixed cap per payout number. "These are hard caps": Tradeify's 150K Lightning example reaches its $9,000 goal and can take $3,000, and "the rest of your profit stays in the account." On a 25K Lightning account "the payout amount is fixed at $1,000 for all payouts."
When a request is approved, "your funds are immediately withdrawn from your account": the balance drops by the full request, not by the 90% you receive. The limited Select 300K has its own caps, up to $10,000 per Flex payout and $4,000 a day on Daily ($3,500 on the older V1).

When can you request a Tradeify payout?
When your plan's trigger shows on the dashboard, after the daily reconciliation between about 5:00 and 6:00 PM ET.
| Size | Select Flex: 5 days of at least | Select Daily: balance above | Growth: 5 days over, then a balance of | Lightning: profit goal, payout 1 / after |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $100 | $26,100 | $100, then $26,500 | $1,500 / $1,000 |
| 50K | $150 | $52,100 | $150, then $53,000 | $3,000 / $2,000 |
| 100K | $200 | $102,600 | $200, then $104,500 | $6,000 / $3,500 |
| 150K | $250 | $153,600 | $250, then $156,500 | $9,000 / $4,500 |
Growth's balances and Lightning's goals are for accounts bought from September 12, 2025.
- Select Flex: 5 days of at least "$150 minimum profit per day" on 50K, per payout, and "no minimum account balance requirement."
- Select Daily: any session the balance is above the buffer. "You cannot withdraw profits that would bring your account balance below the buffer amount."
- Both Select paths, from payout 2: "You must have positive net profit during each payout cycle in order to request a payout." Neither has a consistency rule once funded.
- Growth: 5 days with "a profit greater than" the minimum, the balance, and a biggest day at or below 35% of profit. "The Trading Day count resets to zero after each successful payout."
- Lightning: "No Minimum Trading Day Count." Each goal is new profit, at 20% for payout 1, 25% for payout 2 and 30% after: "Leftover profit from the previous cycle does not carry over."
- Every funded account: "Over 50% of your trades are longer than 10 seconds," and over 50% of profit from those trades, or you can't request, though "It does not fail your account." One request open at a time.
How the 35% and 20% to 30% shares are counted is in Tradeify's consistency rule. Evaluation profit counts for nothing: "Profits earned during evaluation do NOT carry over to your funded account."

What changed for Select accounts bought from September 1, 2026?
Flex caps went down and Daily caps went up. Older accounts keep the caps they were bought with.
| Size | Flex, bought before | Flex, from Sep 1, 2026 | Daily, bought before | Daily, from Sep 1, 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,250 | $1,250 | $600 | $600 |
| 50K | $3,000 | $2,500 | $1,000 | $1,250 |
| 100K | $4,000 | $3,500 | $1,500 | $1,750 |
| 150K | $5,000 | $4,500 | $2,500 | $2,500 |
The Flex cut only bites on a big balance. Flex pays 50% of total profit, so on 50K both caps give the same amount until profit passes $5,000. On Daily, a newer 50K account gets up to $250 more whenever the buffer and the 2× rule allow more than $1,000. The plan cards on tradeify.co show only the newer caps.
Sources, checked 2026-10-22: Select Flex and Select Daily Payout Policies, Select Evaluation Accounts, the plan cards on tradeify.co.
Growth and Lightning accounts bought before September 12, 2025
Accounts bought before 8:00 AM ET that day keep older payout rules.
| Bought before Sep 12, 2025 | 50K | 100K | 150K |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth: balance to request | $52,100 | $103,600 | $155,100 |
| Growth: caps, payouts 1 to 6 | $1,500 rising to $3,000 | $2,000 rising to $5,000 | $2,500 rising to $5,500 |
| Lightning: profit goal, payout 1 / 2 / 3+ | $3,000 / $2,000 / $2,000 | $6,000 / $3,000 / $2,500 | $9,000 / $4,500 / $3,000 |
After the sixth, "Each subsequent payout after the 6th can be any amount up to $25,000 per account." An older Lightning account keeps a 20% rule on every payout. On both plans the daily loss limit goes at 6% profit instead of rising: "your DLL is completely REMOVED (not just increased)."
Sources, checked 2026-10-22: Growth Funded: Account Payout Policy, Lightning Funded: Account Payout Policy, Rules: Daily Loss Limit.
Does a payout lock the Tradeify drawdown?
Yes, on every funded account. The floor trails your highest close and locks at the starting balance plus $100, $50,100 on 50K, "once you profit beyond the drawdown amount by $100, or immediately when you request a payout." Then it's "a fixed floor that never moves up again," and each payout comes out of the room above it. Tradeify's Growth 50K example takes $1,500 at $53,000: "You ARE able to take out that amount, but you would leave yourself with $1,400 in drawdown room."
Select Daily's buffer is the balance that locks its floor, so even its largest request leaves a full drawdown of room: $2,000 on 50K, $2,500 on 100K, $3,500 on 150K. Flex, Growth and Lightning have no buffer.

A Tradeify Lightning 50K account, first payout, check by check
An invented 50K Lightning Funded account bought today, so payout 1 needs $3,000 of profit at 20%. Eight invented days, every trade held longer than 10 seconds:
| Day | P&L | Close | Profit | Biggest day ÷ profit | Floor after the close | The payout checks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +$550 | $50,550 | $550 | 100.00% | $48,550 | under the $3,000 goal |
| 2 | +$600 | $51,150 | $1,150 | 52.17% | $49,150 | under the goal |
| 3 | −$400 | $50,750 | $750 | 80.00% | $49,150 | under the goal |
| 4 | +$650 | $51,400 | $1,400 | 46.43% | $49,400 | biggest day $650: needs $3,250 |
| 5 | +$600 | $52,000 | $2,000 | 32.50% | $50,000 | under $3,250 |
| 6 | +$500 | $52,500 | $2,500 | 26.00% | $50,100, locked | under $3,250 |
| 7 | +$600 | $53,100 | $3,100 | 20.97% | $50,100 | goal met, 20% not |
| 8 | +$450 | $53,550 | $3,550 | 18.31% | $50,100 | can request |
Day 4's $650 becomes the biggest day, and at 20% it needs $650 ÷ 0.20 = $3,250 of profit. Day 7 clears the $3,000 goal at 20.97%, which isn't enough; day 8 gets there at 18.31%.
| Check | Tradeify's rule | Day 8 |
|---|---|---|
| Profit goal | $3,000 since the start | $3,550 |
| Consistency | biggest day at or below 20% of that profit | $650 of $3,550, 18.31% |
| Trading days | none required | 8 traded |
| 10-second rule | over 50% of trades, and of profit, from trades over 10 seconds | met (invented) |
| Verification | Tradeify's identity check and Rise, before the first payout | done (invented) |
| Amount | at least $1,000, at most $2,000 on payout 1 | $2,000; $1,550 stays in |
| Split | 90% to you | $1,800 |
| After approval | the request comes off the balance | $51,550, $1,450 above $50,100 |
The $1,550 left in doesn't count toward payout 2, which needs $2,000 of new profit at 25%: at the goal, no day above $500.
Taking the full $2,000 leaves the invented account $1,450 above a floor that no longer moves; the $1,000 minimum would leave $2,450.The daily loss limit started at $1,250 and rose to the $2,000 drawdown amount after day 7 closed above $53,000, 6% profit: "This larger DLL takes effect the NEXT trading session, not immediately." Tradeify doesn't say whether it drops back after a payout. If it stays at $2,000, a $1,450 loss reaches the floor first, Tradeify's own warning: "If your Max Trailing Drawdown is closer than your DLL, you could hit the drawdown first and fail your account before the DLL triggers."
Run it on your own numbers: Tradeify payout calculator, 50K Lightning. It opens on day 8 and reproduces it: $2,000 requested, $1,800 at 90%, $1,450 left above $50,100.
The same eight days on Tradeify's other plans
The same $53,550 on day 8, as a first payout on accounts bought from September 1, 2026, pays on every plan, by a different amount:
| 50K plan | What day 8 allows | To you at 90% | Left above $50,100 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lightning | the $2,000 cap | $1,800 | $1,450 |
| Growth | the $1,500 cap: 7 days over $150, a balance above $53,000, 18.31% under 35% | $1,350 | $1,950 |
| Select Flex | 50% of $3,550, $1,775 | $1,597.50 | $1,675 |
| Select Daily | $1,450 above the buffer, cut to the $1,250 cap | $1,125 | $2,200 |
Growth and Select reach a funded account through an evaluation first. Select Daily wouldn't have waited: day 6's $52,500 was $400 above its buffer, enough for a $400 request.

How does Tradeify pay you, and how fast?
Through Rise, after two checks before your first payout: Tradeify's identity verification, "typically within minutes," then Rise's, where "Processing typically takes 1-3 business days." Residents of ten countries, Brazil and Spain among them, verify with Tradeify before they're funded.
- Timing. "Payments will be issued within 24 hours after the withdrawal has been processed, once your Rise onboarding is complete," or up to 72 hours for requests outside Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET. Rise's article: "Within 24-48 hours, funds appear in Rise wallet."
- Rise. Free to receive. From the wallet you move money to a bank (1 to 3 business days) or out in crypto (hours to a day). "Without accepting this team invitation inside Rise, you cannot receive payouts from Tradeify."
- Plane. A bank-to-bank transfer of "up to 7 days," for traders who can't use Rise.
- Not offered. "No, PayPal is not a supported payout method." The 1099s for payout income come from Rise.
- An interview. Tradeify may ask for a short AI-conducted interview about your trading "before a payout"; skipping it can "pause account activity, payouts, or account access until it is completed."

What gets a Tradeify payout denied?
- Falling short before it's processed. On Growth and Lightning, "if you fail your account or fall below the minimum thresholds for a payout before the request is processed, your payout will be denied." A request "cannot be edited or canceled."
- Trading in the meantime. Profit made before approval counts in the same cycle, and "Payout cycles reset at session boundaries, not immediately upon approval."
- A review. "Payouts are subject to Tradeify's payout rules and Compliance review, before or after processing," for example when payout details don't match the verified holder.
- Hedging. Opposing positions in one product group, even across your own accounts, forfeit the profit made while they were open, and "Every account involved can be set to violation status."

After the payouts: Tradeify Elite
Payouts are also the way to live capital. Tradeify considers you for Elite Live after 3 payouts on one account, or 10 across your accounts since your last move to live, and "These thresholds represent the minimum requirements for consideration, not automatic qualification." Once chosen, "it is mandatory": every Sim and evaluation account closes, only accounts with a payout move live, and "Any trades or progress made after the last successful payout will not be included in the Live Transition." Elite accounts start at $0, split 80/20 and can request any day; "If a payout brings the balance to $0, the Live Account will be closed."
Sources, checked 2026-10-22: Tradeify Elite Program, Tradeify Pricing Reference.
Where Tradeify's pages disagree
- Lightning's payout timing. The Lightning plan cards on tradeify.co say "Payout Frequency 5 Days." The Lightning payout policy: "No Minimum Trading Day Count."
- Payout speed. The home page: "1 hour payouts" and "Request a payout, get paid in minutes." The payout policies: within 24 hours, up to 72. The Rise article: 24 to 48 hours to the Rise wallet. The Select payout page calls Rise "Primary payout method (instant processing)."
- Bought on September 1, 2026. The Select payout page splits its caps at "This only applies to accounts purchased before Sep 1st, 2026" and "Accounts Purchased after September 1st, 2026 will have the following payout caps." Its FAQ, and Select Evaluation Accounts, say "bought on or after September 1, 2026," the only wording that places an account bought on September 1.
- Select Daily's own example. With $700 of new profit the trader "could request up to $1,000 OR $1,250 (depending on when the account was purchased)," and "After payout approved the balance is set to $52,500": right for $1,000 from $53,500; $1,250 would leave $52,250.
- Which Growth days count. The Growth payout policy: "5 or more of the Trading Days must show a profit greater than" $150 on 50K. The Common FAQs: "Growth funded accounts need 5 profitable trading days." A $100 day is profitable and doesn't count under the policy.
- When a payout locks the floor. Rules: Trailing Max Drawdowns: on request. The 300K Select page: "your drawdown will automatically lock at $300,100 once the payout is approved."
- Who gets Plane. The Plane article offers it for "state restrictions or personal preferences," then says "Plane will only be offered if you cannot use RISE due to country restrictions or if your RISE application gets denied." The KYC and AML Policy: "if Rise is not available in your country."
- The 25K Elite drawdown. The Elite Program gives a 25K Elite account $1,500. The Accelerator Reward Pools page asks you to "End the month with profit greater than max trailing drawdown on the Live account" and lists $1,000 for 25K.
- Qualifying for Elite. The home page: "Hit 3 approved payouts to qualify for Tradeify Elite." The Elite Program calls that a minimum for consideration.
Not published
- Whether Lightning accounts bought before September 12, 2025 have their own caps: the policy dates its goals and its consistency rule, and prints one cap table.

- Whether the day minimums, $150 on a 50K Flex or Growth account, count before or after commissions.

Where we sit
We don't run a prop firm, we're not affiliated with Tradeify, and we earn nothing if you buy from Tradeify. We sell the Prop Firm Challenge Toolkit, a TradingView indicator that turns rule numbers you type into dollar buffers on your chart. It fits a payout only in part: the drawdown and the daily limit, the room a payout comes out of, but no profit goals, payout caps, Select Daily buffer or 90% split, and no working consistency check: the largest day it records is always $0, so the row reads 0% if you turn it on. It has no Tradeify preset, so use Custom. For the 50K Lightning account above:
| Toolkit setting (Custom) | 50K Lightning Funded | From |
|---|---|---|
| Max loss % | 4 | $2,000 of $50,000 |
| Drawdown mode | Trailing EOD | the floor moves only at the close |
| Trailing DD locks AT initial balance | On | Tradeify's lock, at $50,000 instead of $50,100 |
| Daily loss % | 2.5 | $1,250 of $50,000 |
| Daily limit is soft | On | paused until the next session, not failed |
| Consistency % (0=off) | 0 | the largest day it records is always $0, so it can't check the 20% |
| Profit target % | 0 | a funded account has no target; Custom's 10% would show PASSED |
| Min trading days | 0 | Lightning has none |
| Reset timezone, hour | America/New_York, 18 | the 6:00 PM ET session start |
Where it differs from Tradeify, plainly. It doesn't read Tradeify's dashboard: you type the balance in, and the high it trails is the balance you type. Below an earlier high, as after a payout, its floor sits under Tradeify's: $2,000 under a typed $51,550 is $49,550, against Tradeify's locked $50,100, so it shows $550 more room than the example has. It takes the daily limit as a percentage of the balance you type, so on a $51,000 morning 2.5% is $1,275, not Tradeify's fixed $1,250, and it can't see losses you've already closed today: keep Current balance at the session's starting balance and put the day's running P&L, closed and open, in Open floating P/L. When the limit rises to $2,000 at 6% profit, change Daily loss % to about 3.75 yourself: 4% of a typed $53,000 is $2,120.

Disclosure
The Lightning account and its eight days are invented and use Tradeify's published rules. They aren't a forecast, nothing here is advice, and none of it says whether a Tradeify account is worth buying. Tradeify's dashboard decides when you can request and what you're paid, not this page. If a rule here no longer matches Tradeify's pages, email support@pulltrade.app and we'll correct it in public.
Frequently asked questions
What are Tradeify's payout rules?
Every Sim Funded account pays you 90% of the amount you request, with one request open at a time. On 50K, Select Daily can request any day its balance is above $52,100; Select Flex after 5 days of $150 or more; Growth after 5 days over $150, with a $53,000 balance and a biggest day at or below 35% of profit; Lightning at each profit goal, $3,000 and then $2,000, under a 20%, 25%, then 30% consistency rule. Each request is capped by plan, size and payout number.
What is the Tradeify payout cap?
It depends on the plan and the size. On 50K: Select Flex pays 50% of total profit up to $2,500 and Select Daily the balance above the buffer up to $1,250 (accounts bought from September 1, 2026; older ones $3,000 and $1,000); Growth $1,500 on payout 1, rising to $3,000 from payout 4; Lightning $2,000 on payouts 1 to 3 and $2,500 after. Profit above the cap stays in the account.
What is the Tradeify payout split?
90% to you and 10% to Tradeify on every Sim Funded account, Select, Growth and Lightning, from the first payout. The split applies to the amount you request, so a $2,000 request pays you $1,800 and takes $2,000 off the balance. Elite Live accounts split 80/20.
How long do Tradeify payouts take?
Once a request is approved the money leaves the account at once, and Tradeify's payout policies say payment is issued within 24 hours, once your Rise onboarding is complete. Requests outside Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET, or on federal holidays, can take up to 72 hours. Rise's own article says funds reach your Rise wallet within 24 to 48 hours, and a bank transfer out of Rise adds 1 to 3 business days.
What payout methods does Tradeify use?
Rise is the default: it pays out to a bank account or in crypto, and receiving through it is free. Plane, a bank-to-bank transfer that takes up to 7 days, is the alternative when you can't use Rise. PayPal isn't supported, and the 1099 forms for payout income come from Rise, not Tradeify.
What are the Tradeify Lightning Funded payout rules on a 50K?
Payout 1 needs $3,000 of profit with your biggest day at or below 20% of it; payout 2 needs $2,000 of new profit at 25%, and every later payout $2,000 at 30%. There's no minimum number of trading days. Each request is at least $1,000 and at most $2,000 on payouts 1 to 3, then $2,500, and you receive 90%.
Did Tradeify change its Select payout caps?
Yes, for accounts bought from September 1, 2026. Select Flex caps fell to $2,500, $3,500 and $4,500 on 50K, 100K and 150K, from $3,000, $4,000 and $5,000, and Select Daily caps rose to $1,250 and $1,750 on 50K and 100K, from $1,000 and $1,500. The 25K caps and the 150K Daily cap didn't change, and older accounts keep the caps they were bought with.
