Tradeify Rules 2026: Every Plan and Payout, Sourced and Dated.

Select, Growth and Lightning Funded: when each one pays and how much per request, the 40%, 35% and 20% to 30% consistency rules, the end-of-day drawdown that locks at the start plus $100, daily loss limits, news, bots and prices, each read from Tradeify's own help center and plan cards on 2026-10-17. One invented 50K week, animated, runs the payout checks and the floor.

PL · 11 min read
Explainer cover titled Tradeify payouts: three checks, then 90%. A bar chart of an invented week on a 50K Growth funded account: daily results of +$600, +$900, −$900, +$800, +$800 and +$800 build the profit to $3,000, the line of a $53,000 balance; a dashed line marks the profit the $900 best day needs for 35%, and a bracket marks the $1,500 payout 1 cap. Steps: more than $150 on 5 days, best day at or below 35% of profit, at $53,000 request $1,500, 90% yours.

Tradeify pays you 90% of each payout you request, and when depends on the plan. Select Daily can request on any day its balance clears a buffer, Select Flex after 5 winning days. Growth needs 5 days of more than $150 on 50K, a $53,000 balance and a best day at or below 35% of profit. Lightning pays at each profit goal under a 20% consistency rule that rises to 30% on accounts bought after September 12, 2025.

Ranges are for 25K to 150K. Every plan is a one-time purchase with no monthly or activation fee, every Sim Funded account splits 90/10, and you can hold 5 funded accounts at a time per household (up to 8 with Select 300K accounts bought since August 27, 2026). Select traders pick Flex or Daily when they activate, for good. Level Up and Tradeify 247 aren't covered.

Tradeify payout rules: when you can request

Only one request can be open on an account at a time. On Growth and Lightning a request "cannot be edited or canceled," and falling below its thresholds before it's processed gets it denied. What unlocks one, by size:

SizeSelect Flex: a winning daySelect Daily: balance to clearGrowth: balance neededGrowth: a day counts aboveLightning: profit goal, payout 1 / after
25K$100$26,100$26,500$100$1,500 / $1,000
50K$150$52,100$53,000$150$3,000 / $2,000
100K$200$102,600$104,500$200$6,000 / $3,500
150K$250$153,600$156,500$250$9,000 / $4,500

Growth's balances and Lightning's goals are for accounts bought after September 12, 2025.

  • Select Flex: 5 winning days per payout, and "no minimum account balance requirement."
  • Select Daily: nothing below the buffer can be withdrawn.
  • Select, after the first payout: each cycle must end net positive.
  • Growth: 5 days with "a profit greater than" the amount above, a count that "resets to zero after each successful payout," and the 35% rule on every request.
  • Lightning: each goal is new profit since the last payout.
  • Every funded account: more than 50% of trades must last over 10 seconds, with more than 50% of profit from them, or you can't request. KYC comes before the first payout, and a request locks the drawdown at once.

How much can you withdraw per payout?

Every plan caps each request, and "Traders receive 90% of the payout amount requested." Growth and Lightning caps step up with the payout number, except on 25K, fixed at $1,000.

SizeSelect FlexSelect DailyGrowth, payout 1 / 2 / 3 / 4+Lightning, payouts 1–3 / 4+
25K50% of profit, up to $1,250Above the buffer, up to $600$1,000 each$1,000 each

Smallest payout$250$250$250, $500, $1,000, $1,500 by size$1,000

From the second payout, Select Daily also caps a request at 2× the profit made since the last one. The Select caps are for accounts bought from September 1, 2026; older ones keep $3,000, $4,000 and $5,000 on Flex 50K to 150K, and $1,000 and $1,500 on Daily 50K and 100K. Growth's tiers are for accounts bought from September 12, 2025. Tradeify's own 50K examples:

  • Flex: 5 winning days at $52,500 allow 50% of $2,500, $1,250; a later cycle at $54,000 allows 50% of $4,000, $2,000. The 50% is of the balance over the start.
  • Daily, at $53,500: $250 earned since the last payout allows $500; $700 allows $1,400, capped at $1,250. $100 can't reach the $250 minimum.

A Growth payout, check by check

An invented 50K Growth funded week, read the way the payout desk reads it:

Three checks, then 90%.The post's sample week on a 50K Growth funded account, day by day, against Tradeify's payout checks.

Mon: +$800. 5 days, 30.00%, $53,000: all three hold. Payout 1 is capped at $1,500; 90% of it is $1,350.

Illustrative balances, not market data: the trades are invented. The rules are Tradeify's, as quoted in the payout section and read 2026-10-17: on a 50K Growth funded account, 5 days of more than $150, a best day at or below 35% of the profit and a $53,000 balance; payout 1 is capped at $1,500, and you receive 90%.

Rule: a payout needs 5 days of more than $150, the best day at or below 35% of the profit (profit needed = best day ÷ 0.35) and a $53,000 balance; payout 1 is capped at $1,500. Our consistency calculator's arithmetic.

Read as text
  1. Mon: +$600, profit $600, best day $600 = 100.00% of it, 1 day over $150, balance $50,600.
  2. Tue: +$900, profit $1,500, best day $900 = 60.00% of it, 2 days over $150, balance $51,500.
  3. Wed: −$900, profit $600, best day $900 = 150.00% of it, 2 days over $150, balance $50,600. A losing day shrinks the profit, never the best day.
  4. Thu: +$800, profit $1,400, best day $900 = 64.29% of it, 3 days over $150, balance $51,400.
  5. Fri: +$800, profit $2,200, best day $900 = 40.91% of it, 4 days over $150, balance $52,200.
  6. Mon: +$800, profit $3,000, best day $900 = 30.00% of it, 5 days over $150, balance $53,000. All three checks hold: request up to $1,500, payout 1's cap, and receive $1,350.

The sample week, invented trades on 50K Growth from a $50,000 start. The drawdown section runs the same days on an evaluation; both floors start at $48,000.

Mon+$800$53,000$3,00030.00%5$51,000$50,100 (locked)

On the second Monday all three hold: 5 days over $150, a best day of $900 at 30.00% of $3,000, a $53,000 balance. Payout 1 is capped at $1,500, so $1,350 reaches you, and the $51,500 left sits $1,400 above the locked $50,100 floor, as in Tradeify's own Growth example.

Wednesday's −$900 cut the profit to $600 while the best day stayed $900, a 150.00% share: a losing day shrinks the profit, never the best day.

Friday in our consistency calculator (best day $900, total $2,200, threshold 35) reads 40.91%, $371.43 short, on days under $900. Monday's $800 covers it.

Getting paid, and the move to live

Approved payouts leave the account at once and are paid "within 24 hours after the withdrawal has been processed, once your Rise onboarding is complete"; requests outside Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET, can take up to 72 hours. Rise, free to receive with, pays to a bank (1-3 business days more) or in crypto; Plane, up to 7 days, is the fallback. No PayPal.

After 3 payouts on one account, or 10 in total, Tradeify may move you to Elite Live: real capital from a $0 balance, 80/20 and daily payouts. Those counts are "minimum requirements for consideration," and once you're selected the move is mandatory. Tradeify's home-page footnote gives its own figures for "August 2025 – July 2026, calculated as of 9 August 2026", "Across Tradeify's Growth, Advanced and Select evaluation products": "17.2% of evaluation accounts initiated were successfully completed and afforded the opportunity to advance to the Funded Level" and "28.5% of individual participants at the Funded Level received a payout" (the Funded Level "includes both Funded Accounts and Live Funded Accounts"). The first counts accounts and the second counts people, and Tradeify doesn't publish the numbers behind either. They're Tradeify's figures, not our estimate of anyone's chances.

Tradeify consistency rule

Each rule divides your biggest day's profit by your total profit, and a share at or below the limit passes: "exactly 20.00% meets it too."

  • Select evaluation: 40%, or 50% with an add-on bought at checkout; none once funded.
  • Growth: none in the evaluation, 35% on every funded payout.
  • Lightning Funded: 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second, 30% after that; accounts bought before September 12, 2025 keep 20%.

The rule caps nothing you earn; it "only determines when you can request a payout." Commissions are left out of profit, and losing days count through the total. It's also why a Select evaluation takes 3 trading days, or 2 with the add-on: 2 days at 40% or less can't make up the whole profit. More in our consistency rule guide.

Tradeify drawdown: end of day, then locked

Every Select, Growth and Lightning account trails its highest closing balance, and the floor moves only at the close. It's enforced in real time, though, "against your net liquidation value," open P&L included, and "recovering before the close does not undo it."

Funded accounts add a lock at the starting balance plus $100, "once you profit beyond the drawdown amount by $100, or immediately when you request a payout - whichever comes first." Evaluations never lock. The close that locks each funded account:

Mon: close $53,000, the $3,000 target: the evaluation passes. The floor has trailed to $51,000.

Illustrative balances, not market data: the trades are invented. The rules are Tradeify's, as quoted in the drawdown section and read 2026-10-17: a $2,000 end-of-day trailing drawdown on 50K Growth, updated at the close and enforced in real time; in an evaluation it never locks.

Rule: floor = the highest end-of-day balance − $2,000, never moving down and never locking. Equity at or under it at any moment fails the account.

Read as text
  1. Start: $50,000. The floor starts $2,000 below, at $48,000. It updates at the close but is enforced in real time: equity at the floor at any moment, open losses included, fails the account.
  2. Mon: close $50,600. The floor trails up to $48,600.
  3. Tue: close $51,500. The floor trails up to $49,500.
  4. Wed: −$900. The floor stays at $49,500: it follows the highest close.
  5. Thu: close $51,400, no new high. The floor stays at $49,500.
  6. Fri: close $52,200. The floor trails up to $50,200: in an evaluation it never locks.
  7. Mon: close $53,000, the $3,000 target: the evaluation passes. The floor has trailed to $51,000.

Friday's $52,200 close locks the funded floor at $50,100; the evaluation's climbs on to $51,000 before it passes at $53,000, Growth's $3,000 target.

Will this day breach the floor?Pick a session from the funded week and drag its worst moment: the Daily Loss Limit or the floor, which comes first?
session starttrailing max drawdownDaily Loss Limit, −$1,250−$1,10048,00049,00050,00051,00050,60049,500

Breach: equity reaches the trailing max drawdown, $49,500. Tradeify fails the account at once; recovering before the close doesn't undo it.

Session starts and floors from the film's funded week: invented trades, Tradeify's rules as quoted on this page, read 2026-10-17. The floor is enforced in real time against net liquidation value, open P&L included; the soft $1,250 Daily Loss Limit pauses the day instead. Tradeify warns that losses can run past the limit before it triggers; this check doesn't model slippage.

It opens on Thursday: Wednesday's loss left the funded account $1,100 above its $49,500 floor, closer than the $1,250 Daily Loss Limit, so a −$1,100 moment fails it before the limit can pause it. Tradeify's own warning: "you could hit the drawdown first." On Wednesday the same −$1,100 leaves $900 to spare.

The limit is a soft breach: it pauses trading until the next session at 6:00 PM ET. Tradeify says "NEVER use the DLL as a stop loss": losses can run past it before it triggers. On Growth and Lightning accounts bought after September 12, 2025, it rises to the drawdown amount from the session after profit reaches 6% ($53,000 on 50K); older ones lose it there.

News, overnight, bots and copy trading

  • News: allowed on every account; Tradeify has no "rules against or guidelines around trading news events" (Rules: News Trading, edited 2026-08-12).
  • Hours: a session runs from 6:00 PM ET to 5:00 PM ET, and every position must be flat by 4:45 PM ET (12:59 PM on holiday short days). Within one session you can hold past midnight, never into the next or over the weekend; what's left open is closed for you without failing the account (Rules: Permitted Times to Trade, edited 2026-10-17).
  • Bots: allowed if you're the sole owner, you don't share it or run it at other firms, and it isn't high-frequency. Tradeify "will also require a live video of you enabling the code on your own PC" (Guidelines for Traders).
  • Copy trading: only "between accounts that you personally own and manage," all in the same direction (WealthCharts Order Entry & Trade Copier, edited 2026-07-21).
  • Hedging: opposing positions in one product group, such as long ES and short NQ, break the rule even across two of your accounts, and every account involved is set to violation status (Rules: Hedging & Correlated Products, edited 2026-08-19).
  • Activity: at least one trade a week, Monday to Friday, on each account, evaluations included.

Where do Tradeify's own pages disagree?

  1. Consistency once funded. The home page says "No consistency once funded"; the same page's Growth and Lightning cards show 35% and 20%. It holds for Select.
  2. Lightning's payout timing. The plan cards say "Payout Frequency 5 Days"; the Lightning payout policy says "No Minimum Trading Day Count. You can request a payout after any number of trading days."
  3. Payout speed. The home page advertises "1 hour payouts" and "get paid in minutes"; the payout policies say within 24 hours, up to 72 outside business hours; the Rise article says funds reach your Rise wallet "Within 24-48 hours."
  4. Contracts in a 25K Select evaluation. The plan card and the Select evaluation article say 1 mini or 10 micros; the Select payout article gives evaluations "the full contract limits (2/20, 4/40, 8/80, or 12/120 depending on account size)."
  5. Reaching Elite. The home page says "Hit 3 approved payouts to qualify"; the Elite article calls that a minimum "for consideration."
  6. Select's daily loss limit. The Select Evaluation Accounts FAQ says a Select evaluation has none, and Rules: Daily Loss Limit says "Select Flex accounts do not have a DLL"; the 300K sold since August 27, 2026 has a $4,000 one in both.
  7. Codes on resets. The reset article (edited 2026-10-17) says "promo codes and discount codes do not apply to reset purchases"; the Rewards Center article (edited 2026-10-13) says a code won there "works on standard evaluation, funded account, and reset purchases."

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. Select Daily can request on any day its balance is above a buffer ($52,100 on 50K). Select Flex needs 5 winning days. Growth needs 5 days of more than $150 on 50K, a $53,000 balance and a best day at or below 35% of profit. Lightning pays at each profit goal, with no day count and a 20% consistency rule that rises to 30% on accounts bought after September 12, 2025. Approved payouts are usually paid within 24 hours once your Rise onboarding is complete.

How much can you withdraw from a Tradeify funded account?

Each request is capped, and you receive 90% of it. On 50K: Select Flex up to 50% of total profit, at most $2,500; Select Daily the balance above the buffer, at most $1,250, and from the second payout no more than 2× the profit since the last one; Growth (accounts bought from September 12, 2025) $1,500 on payout 1, rising to $3,000 from payout 4; Lightning $2,000 on payouts 1 to 3, then $2,500. The Select caps are for accounts bought from September 1, 2026; older Select accounts have $3,000 (Flex) and $1,000 (Daily) on 50K.

Does Tradeify have a consistency rule?

It depends on the plan. Select evaluations have a 40% rule (50% with a paid add-on) and none once funded. Growth evaluations have none, but every Growth funded payout needs a best day at or below 35% of profit. Lightning Funded accounts bought after September 12, 2025 need 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% after that. At or below the limit passes: exactly 20.00% meets a 20% rule. Breaking it never fails the account; it only delays a payout or a pass.

Is Tradeify's drawdown end of day or intraday?

End of day on every Select, Growth and Lightning account: the trailing max drawdown moves only at the close, after a new high, but it's enforced in real time against your net liquidation value, open losses included, so touching it during the day fails the account. On funded accounts it locks at the starting balance plus $100 once a close reaches the start plus the drawdown plus $100 ($52,100 on 50K), or as soon as you request a payout. On evaluations it never locks.

Does Tradeify have a daily loss limit?

Select evaluations and Select Flex accounts from 25K to 150K don't. Growth has one in the evaluation and when funded ($600 to $3,750 by size), Select Daily has $500 to $1,750 and Lightning $1,250 to $3,000 (none on 25K). It's a soft limit: it pauses trading until the next session opens at 6:00 PM ET and doesn't fail the account. On Growth and Lightning accounts bought after September 12, 2025, it rises to the drawdown amount once profit reaches 6%.

How fast can you pass a Tradeify evaluation?

A Growth evaluation can pass in 1 trading day, since it has no consistency rule. A Select evaluation needs at least 3, because no day may be more than 40% of the profit; the 50% add-on makes 2 possible. Both have targets of $1,500, $3,000, $6,000 and $9,000 for 25K to 150K, and no time limit, but each account needs at least one trade a week, Monday to Friday.

Can you trade news, hold overnight or use a bot at Tradeify?

News: yes, on every account. Overnight: only inside one session, which runs from 6:00 PM ET to the 4:45 PM ET close-out; nothing is held into the next session or over the weekend. Bots: allowed if you're the sole owner, you don't share it or run it at other firms, and it isn't high-frequency; Tradeify requires a live video of you starting it on your own PC. Copy trading is allowed only between your own accounts, in the same direction.
