Tradeify

Tradeify review: our verdict

Tradeify suits futures traders who want an end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown, a 90% split from the first payout and the option of daily payouts. Its Select plan is the most interesting part: a short evaluation followed by a choice of a daily-payout path or a five-day path, neither with a funded consistency rule. Growth and Lightning cover traders who want a one-day pass or instant funding. The trade-offs are a 35% consistency rule on Growth funded accounts, capped payouts on the daily path, and an official website that, when we checked, showed placeholder text and contradictory prices, activation fees and rules.

Tradeify scores 7.0/10 and ranks number 9 of the futures firms we track. It scores well on payout speed, drawdown type and trader sentiment, and loses points because we could not confirm its current pricing from a single consistent official source. See our methodology for how the score is built.

Programs and pricing

Tradeify Holdings, Corp. offers three plan families, all on simulated accounts at $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 and $150,000:

• Growth: an evaluation the homepage says can be passed in one day, followed by a funded account with a 35% consistency rule.
• Select: an evaluation with a minimum of three trading days, then a choice of a Daily payout path or a 5-Day (also labelled Flex) path, with no consistency rule once funded.
• Lightning: instant funding with no evaluation, and a stepped consistency rule on payouts.

Tradeify's own blog says subscriptions ended for new purchases with its "Tradeify 3.0" update, so evaluations are now a one-time fee, and checkout pricing varies by platform. Beyond that, the official figures conflict. The homepage cards showed $251 (struck through from $359) as a "one time payment" for every size, while the Select page listed $111, $181 and $251 for 50K, 100K and 150K without saying which plan each price belongs to, and also labelled the 150K price "per month". Tradeify's 3.0 announcement gave list prices of $109 for Select 25K and $99 for Growth 25K. Because these sources disagree, we have not published a price table. Check the price at checkout before paying.

Activation fees are also inconsistent. The Select page says "No activation fees", yet its funded comparison table lists $1,500 for the Daily path and $4,000 for the 5-Day path on the 150K. Resets are available after a failed evaluation; a $239 figure appears on the Select page next to a mislabelled row, so we could not confirm the reset price. We found no fee refund on passing.

Trading rules explained

Profit targets

The Select 150K target is $9,000 (6%). The Select 25K target is $1,500, and Tradeify raised the Select 50K target from $2,500 to $3,000 for new purchases. The Growth 25K target is also $1,500. Targets for other sizes were shown as "?" or placeholder text on the homepage cards when we checked.

Daily loss limit

Evaluation and funded cards on the homepage show a $600 daily loss limit, with $500 or none on some 50K funded variants. Tradeify's 3.0 announcement lists $600 on Growth 25K, $500 on the Select 25K Daily path and $3,000 on Lightning 150K. The Select 150K page does not state a daily loss limit. We could not confirm on the official site whether open losses count or what time the day resets.

Maximum drawdown

Tradeify uses an EOD trailing drawdown, meaning the loss floor moves up with your end-of-day balance rather than intraday peaks. The Select 150K evaluation drawdown is $4,500. On the funded side, the Select page lists $2,500 for the 150K Daily path and $3,000 for the 5-Day path; Lightning 150K is $5,250 for new purchases, and the 25K accounts use $1,000. The pages we could read do not say whether or where the trailing floor stops rising. For the concept, see static vs trailing drawdown.

Minimum days and consistency

Select requires at least three trading days. It also has a 40% evaluation rule, which Tradeify describes in two different ways: the Select FAQ calls it a share of profitable days (for example, 4 green days out of 10), while the 3.0 announcement calls it a 40% consistency rule, the usual best-day share of total profit. Select funded accounts have no consistency rule. Growth has no evaluation consistency rule but a 35% rule once funded. Lightning uses 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% after that, for accounts bought after September 12, 2025. Our consistency rules guide explains both methods.

News trading, EAs and copy trading

Tradeify's help center, which holds its trading guidelines, could not be reached during our checks, so we could not verify the current policy on news trading, automated strategies, trade copiers or hedging. Ask support for the written rule before using any of them.

Overnight, weekend and inactivity

We could not verify the daily close-out time, overnight holding or inactivity rules on an official page. Treat the accounts as day-trading accounts until you have confirmed otherwise in your dashboard.

Worked example

Take a Select 150K evaluation: a $9,000 target, a $4,500 EOD trailing drawdown and a three-day minimum. You start at $150,000 with a floor of $145,500 and need to close at $159,000.

1. Day 1: +$2,500, close at $152,500. The floor moves to $148,000.
2. Day 2: −$1,000, close at $151,500. The floor stays at $148,000.
3. Day 3: +$3,000, close at $154,500. The floor moves to $150,000.
4. Day 4: +$2,500, close at $157,000. The floor moves to $152,500, unless a lock applies, which the page does not state.
5. Day 5: +$2,000, close at $159,000. Profit is $9,000 and the target is reached.

Total profit is $2,500 − $1,000 + $3,000 + $2,500 + $2,000 = $9,000. Under either reading of the 40% rule you pass: the best day ($3,000) is 33.3% of profit, and four of five days (80%) were profitable. On Day 2, note that the loss did not move the floor down, because an EOD floor only ever rises. Once funded, a $2,000 payout at a 90% split would pay you $1,800.

Payouts

Tradeify's own payout article sets out the funded rules. The split is 90/10 from the first payout on Select, Growth and Lightning, and 80/20 on Elite Live accounts that use live capital. On Select Flex, you request after five winning days ($100, $150, $200 or $250 by size), with no buffer, and each payout is capped at 50% of profit above the starting balance, up to $1,250, $3,000, $4,000 or $5,000. On Select Daily, you can request daily once the balance clears a buffer ($2,100, $2,600 or $3,600 on 50K, 100K and 150K), up to twice the cycle's profit, capped at $1,000, $1,500 or $2,500 a day, with a $250 minimum. The Select page shows a $1,250 cap for the 150K Daily path, which conflicts with this. Growth funded accounts need five profitable days and a buffer (a $53,000 balance on 50K), with a $1,500 first-payout cap on 50K. Lightning pays on a five-day cadence with a $1,000 minimum.

KYC with a government ID and proof of address is required before any payout. Payouts go through Rise by default, with Plane as an alternative after review, and are typically paid within 24 hours during business hours, or up to 72 hours outside Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern. You can hold up to five funded accounts. After three payouts on one account, or ten in total, a trader may be considered for Elite Live at Tradeify's discretion. See our Tradeify payout guide for the full process.

Platforms and instruments

Tradeify supports Tradovate (with NinjaTrader), WealthCharts, Rithmic and Tradesea, and the Select page also lists ProjectX. Pricing can differ by platform at checkout. A separate crypto perpetuals product is in beta and is not covered by this review. We could not verify a full list of permitted futures contracts or any instrument restrictions because the help center was unreachable.

Who can join

Tradeify Holdings, Corp. lists an address at 1700 S. Dixie Highway, Boca Raton, Florida, and markets its plans to US traders. The site also names a related introducing broker, Tradeify Brokerage LLC, and a Cyprus-based payment agent. Tradeify publishes a restricted-countries article in its help center, but we could not open it, so we could not verify which countries are excluded. KYC is required before the first payout.

Reputation and trader feedback

When we checked Trustpilot in November 2026, Tradeify had a TrustScore of 4.5 out of 5 from 6,474 reviews, about 5,200 of them from the past year, with 85% five-star and 9% one-star. Reviewers often praise fast payouts, smooth onboarding and helpful support. Some reviewers report slow or complicated account verification and missed follow-ups, and a cluster of near-identical one-star reviews describes a withheld payout and account termination; Tradeify replied that it had received multiple reviews about the same issue. Tradeify's homepage also discloses its own outcomes for August 2025 to July 2026: 17.2% of evaluations were completed, 28.5% of funded traders received a payout and 3.0% were moved to live accounts.

Those numbers reflect the wider reality: most traders do not pass, and the fee should be treated as money at risk.

How we verified this review

Checked November 2026. We read tradeify.co's homepage and Select plan pages, Tradeify's "Tradeify 3.0" announcement and its official article on payout rules. The help center (help.tradeify.co) returned errors throughout, so news, automation, overnight, inactivity and country rules are unverified. Official pages showed placeholder text and conflicting prices, activation fees, payout caps and consistency descriptions; where sources disagree we have said so rather than choosing a figure. Trustpilot was checked in November 2026.
