Overview

Tradeify is a futures prop firm operated by Tradeify Holdings, Corp. from Boca Raton, Florida, with Brett Simberkoff as founder and CEO. It sells three one-time-fee products in 25K to 150K sizes: the Growth evaluation, which can be passed in one day but has a daily loss limit; the Select evaluation, which has a 40% consistency rule and lets traders choose daily or five-day payouts after passing; and Lightning accounts that are funded straight away with no evaluation. All accounts use an end-of-day trailing drawdown, charge no activation fee and pay 90% of profits on simulated funded accounts. Traders pick Tradovate, Rithmic or WealthCharts at checkout and can hold up to five funded accounts at a time.

  • Payouts: after 5 trading days with profit above $100 (25K), $150 (50K), $200 (100K) or $250 (150K), and a balance of at least $26,500, $53,000, $104,500 or $156,500.
  • Per-request payout caps rise with each payout: $1,000 on every 25K payout, and from $1,500 to $3,000 (50K), $2,000 to $4,000 (100K) and $2,500 to $5,000 (150K) by the fourth payout. Minimum payouts are $250, $500, $1,000 and $1,500.
  • The daily loss limit is a soft breach that pauses trading for the day. Once the account is up 6%, it rises to the full drawdown amount from the next session.
  • On the funded account the drawdown locks at the starting balance plus $100, either when the end-of-day balance clears it or when a payout is requested.
  • Resets cost $60 (25K), $95 (50K), $169 (100K) and $229 (150K); the homepage showed $70 for the 25K reset next to $60.
  • A 5-account bundle of the 25K or 50K gives 5% off.
  • The Select evaluation article says Growth has no consistency rule at any stage, while the Growth payout policy and the consistency rule article apply a 35% rule to funded payouts; this file follows the payout policy.

  • Payouts: after passing, the trader picks Select Flex (every 5 winning days, up to 50% of total profit) or Select Daily (daily once a buffer is cleared). The choice is permanent for that account.
  • Select Flex: no daily loss limit, the same drawdown as the evaluation, and caps of $1,250, $2,500, $3,500 and $4,500 per payout for accounts bought from 1 September 2026; winning days need $100, $150, $200 or $250 profit.
  • Select Daily: daily loss limit of $500, $1,000, $1,250 or $1,750, drawdown of $1,000, $2,000, $2,500 or $3,500, a buffer of $1,100 to $3,600, and requests of up to twice the profit since the last payout, capped at $600, $1,250, $1,750 or $2,500 (minimum $250).
  • Funded accounts start with fewer contracts (1, 2, 3 and 3 minis) and scale up to the evaluation maximum.
  • The 50% consistency add-on raises the price to $135, $205, $329 or $459.
  • A 300K size is sold as a limited release at $349, with no resets, KYC before purchase and at most 3 lifetime purchases; it is not included in the table above.
  • Up to 15 Select evaluations can be bought in any 30-day period, each with up to 10 resets a month; resets cost $75, $109, $169 and $239.
  • A 5-account bundle of the 25K or 50K gives 5% off.

  • Payouts: a request opens once new profit reaches the goal for that payout ($1,500, $3,000, $6,000 or $9,000 for the first; $1,000, $2,000, $3,500 or $4,500 after that) and the consistency rule is met.
  • Per-request caps are $1,000 (25K), $2,000 (50K), $2,500 (100K) and $3,000 (150K) for the first three payouts, then $1,000, $2,500, $3,000 and $3,500. The minimum payout is $1,000.
  • The daily loss limit is a soft breach. It rises to the full drawdown once the account is up 6%; the 25K has no daily loss limit.
  • The drawdown locks at the starting balance plus $100 once cleared at the close or when a payout is requested.
  • No resets are offered; a failed account must be bought again.
  • The homepage lists a 5-day payout frequency, while the help center says there is no minimum number of trading days before a payout.

Trading rules

What Tradeify lets you do on its accounts, taken from its rules and FAQ pages.

  • News trading

    Allowed

    There are no news restrictions; slippage around releases is at the trader's own risk.

  • Expert advisors

    Allowed with limits

    Bots and algorithms are allowed if the trader is their sole owner and does not use them at other firms; high-frequency bots are prohibited and Tradeify may ask for proof, including a live video.

  • Copy trading

    Allowed with limits

    Group trading is allowed only between accounts the trader owns and manages; copying other traders or copy trading with others is not permitted.

  • Overnight holding

    Not allowed

    All positions must be closed by 4:45 PM ET (12:59 PM ET on shortened holiday sessions); open positions are closed automatically without failing the account.

  • Weekend holding

    Not allowed

    Positions cannot be held past the daily close, so none can be held over the weekend.

Rules to read before you buy

  • Hedging is prohibited, including opposite positions in the same product group across a trader's own accounts; a violation flags every account involved.
  • On funded accounts, more than 50% of trades must last over 10 seconds and more than 50% of profit must come from such trades before a payout can be requested.
  • Up to five simulated funded accounts can be held per household, and up to five Growth accounts can be activated per day.
  • Only one Tradeify account is allowed per person, personal or business.
  • Exploiting platform errors, price display delays or simulated fills is prohibited under the good-faith policy.
  • Ten micros count as one mini, and full-size contracts such as CL or GC count as one mini each.

Inactivity: Each evaluation and funded account needs at least one trade per week (Monday to Friday), or it can be closed after an email warning.

How the drawdown works

End-of-day trailing (Growth, Select, Lightning Funded)
The loss limit moves up once a day, based on your end-of-day balance, and ignores swings during the session.

Consistency rules

Growth
None in the evaluation; 35% best-day rule on funded payouts
Select
40% best-day rule in the evaluation (50% with a paid add-on); none once funded
Lightning Funded
20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% after that
