Tradeify Crypto FAQ 2026: 50+ Questions Answered From Real Trading Experience

Every question you'd ask about Tradeify Crypto — from account types and pricing to rules, DXtrade, payouts, and how it compares to the futures side — answered from actual trading experience, not marketing copy.

I've been trading Tradeify Futures for 12+ months with multiple funded accounts and regular payouts, and jumped on Tradeify Crypto the day it launched in February 2026. The answers below come from buying accounts, navigating DXtrade, testing the rules live, and understanding how this platform works from the inside. Where I don't have first-hand data yet (like payout speed on the crypto side specifically), I'll tell you that directly rather than guess.

Why I trust Tradeify Crypto: I've been actively trading Tradeify Futures for 12+ months — multiple funded accounts, regular withdrawals, $125M+ in total payouts across their trader base. This legitimacy assessment is based on real money in, real money out, and an established relationship with the team.

That said, Tradeify Crypto launched in February 2026 and hasn't built its own payout track record yet. My job isn't to sell you on them — it's to give you an honest breakdown so you can decide if the trust foundation from futures carries over.

General Questions

What is Tradeify Crypto?

Tradeify Crypto is a crypto prop firm launched in February 2026 by the team behind Tradeify Futures — the same company that has processed $125 million+ in verified payouts to futures traders. It provides funded trading accounts for 100+ crypto pairs through DXtrade with institutional liquidity from Binance, OKX, and Bybit. Traders can access up to $600K in aggregate funding and keep up to 80% of their profits.

Who owns Tradeify Crypto?

Tradeify Crypto is operated by Tradeify Holdings, Corp., the same parent company behind Tradeify Futures. The founders are Brett Simberkoff and Vinan Mistry, who built the futures platform from the ground up. Payouts are processed through Rise, the same payment processor used on the futures side.

Is Tradeify Crypto the same company as Tradeify Futures?

Same ownership, same founders, same payout processor — but different products. Tradeify Crypto focuses exclusively on cryptocurrency trading through DXtrade, while Tradeify Futures handles CME futures through Tradovate. The rule structures, fee models, platforms, and profit splits differ between the two products, though the operational backbone is shared.

When did Tradeify Crypto launch?

Tradeify Crypto launched in February 2026 with a 40% off promotion using code LAUNCH on all account types. The platform was announced alongside the existing Tradeify Futures product, leveraging the infrastructure and team that had already processed $125M+ in futures payouts.

Is Tradeify Crypto legitimate?

The strongest trust signal is the parent company's track record — $125 million+ in verified payouts on the futures side across thousands of traders. Same team, same payment processor, same company structure. That said, Tradeify Crypto is brand new with zero crypto-specific payout history as of March 2026. The operational foundation is proven, but the crypto product itself hasn't been tested by time yet.

Account Types

What account types does Tradeify Crypto offer?

Three paths to funded trading: 1-Step Evaluation (single phase, hit 12% profit target), 2-Step Evaluation (two phases with lower targets per phase), and Instant Funding (no evaluation, immediate funded access). All three share the same core rules — 3% daily drawdown, 6% EOD trailing max loss, 5:1 leverage, and 80% profit split.

What account sizes are available?

Five sizes across all account types: $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, and $100K. Every rule is percentage-based and scales linearly with account size. The maximum aggregate funding across all your accounts is $600K, which is the highest cap in the crypto prop firm market.

What's the difference between 1-Step and 2-Step evaluations?

The 1-Step requires hitting a 12% profit target in a single phase. The 2-Step splits the evaluation into two phases with lower targets per phase, making each hurdle more psychologically manageable. Total profit required across both phases is similar. The 2-Step appeals to traders who struggle near large single targets, while the 1-Step is statistically the faster path if you're disciplined.

What is Instant Funding?

Instant Funding skips the evaluation entirely — you pay a higher one-time fee and receive a funded account immediately. There's no profit target to hit, no evaluation phase, just funded trading from day one. It makes financial sense only if you're already consistently profitable in crypto trading and don't want to prove your edge through an evaluation.

Which account type should I choose?

For most traders, the $25K 1-Step is the sweet spot. It balances affordable pricing ($215 with LAUNCH discount), workable drawdown limits ($750 daily DD, $1,500 max loss), and an achievable profit target ($3,000). Choose 2-Step if large single targets stress you, and Instant Funding only if you're already profitable with verifiable results.

How many accounts can I have at once?

You can hold multiple accounts simultaneously up to a $600K aggregate funding cap. Each account operates independently with its own P&L, drawdown tracking, and payout eligibility. You can mix account types — for example, running two 1-Step evaluations and one Instant Funding account at the same time.

What's the maximum total funding available?

$600K in aggregate funding across all your accounts. This is three times what most crypto competitors allow (Breakout, HyroTrader, and Crypto Fund Trader all cap around $200K). You could theoretically run six $100K funded accounts simultaneously.

Pricing & Fees

How much does a Tradeify Crypto account cost?

Prices vary by account size and type. For the 1-Step evaluation, regular prices range from $70 ($5K) to $899 ($100K). With the LAUNCH code (40% off), that drops to $42 ($5K) to $539 ($100K). The $25K 1-Step — my recommended starting point — costs $215 with the discount.

Are fees one-time or monthly subscriptions?

All one-time. This is a major departure from Tradeify Futures, which charges monthly subscriptions ($90-$220/month depending on plan). On the crypto side, you pay once, get the account, and trade without recurring fees. If you breach, you purchase a new account — there's no monthly renewal that gives you a free reset.

Is there an activation fee for funded accounts?

No activation fee has been announced at launch. Once you pass the evaluation, you transition to a funded account without additional charges. This is consistent with how Tradeify Futures handles Growth and Select evaluations (no activation fee), though it's worth confirming on their website as this could change.

Are there hidden data fees or platform costs?

No. DXtrade access is included with your account. There are no data feed subscriptions, no platform licensing fees, and no separate charting costs. All trading costs are built into the spread — no per-trade commissions either. The one-time account fee covers everything.

What discount codes work for Tradeify Crypto?

The launch promotion is 40% off all accounts with code LAUNCH, valid through February 28, 2026. This applies to 1-Step, 2-Step, and Instant Funding accounts across all five sizes. After the launch promo expires, check Tradeify Crypto's website or their Discord for current discount codes.

Can I pay with cryptocurrency?

Tradeify Futures offers crypto payments through Confirmo. It's likely that Tradeify Crypto supports similar payment options given the crypto focus of the product. Verify available payment methods during checkout on their website — standard credit/debit cards are accepted at minimum.

Trading Rules

What is the daily drawdown limit?

3% of your starting account balance, enforced in real time as a hard breach. On a $25K account, that's $750 maximum loss per day. The moment your equity drops $750 from the start of that day's balance, the account is immediately terminated. This applies to both evaluation and funded accounts.

How does the EOD trailing max loss work?

The trailing max loss starts at 6% below your initial balance and moves upward based on your end-of-day (EOD) balance. Only your account balance at the daily reset matters — intraday peaks and pullbacks between resets don't move the floor. On a $25K account, the initial max loss level is $23,500. If you close a day at $26,000, the floor moves up to $24,500.

What's the profit target for the 1-Step evaluation?

12% of your starting account balance. On a $25K account, that's $3,000 in net profit. This is the highest target among major crypto prop firms — Breakout, Crypto Fund Trader, and HyroTrader all ask for 10% or less. The trade-off is Tradeify's more forgiving EOD trailing drawdown and unlimited time limit.

Is there a time limit to pass the evaluation?

No. Take as long as you need. The one-time fee model means there's no monthly subscription pressuring you to trade. This is a significant advantage — I've had multiple days on Tradeify Crypto where I saw nothing compelling in BTC and simply walked away without cost or consequence.

Is there a daily loss limit?

Yes, the 3% daily drawdown functions as a hard daily loss limit. It's calculated from your account balance at the start of each trading day and triggers immediately when breached. Unlike some prop firms that use a soft daily loss limit (trading paused but account survives), Tradeify Crypto's 3% daily DD is a hard breach — the account is terminated.

Is there a consistency rule?

No consistency rule during evaluation. You can make 90% of your profit on one explosive BTC day and the remaining 10% across subsequent sessions. On funded accounts, the only requirement is 3 profitable trading days at 0.5% minimum each before you can request a payout — this is an activity gate, not a traditional consistency rule.

Can I hold positions overnight?

Yes. Overnight holds are fully allowed on all account types. There's no forced position closure at any time — you can hold a BTC position from Monday through Friday or even through the weekend. This is a fundamental advantage over Tradeify Futures, which forces all positions closed at 4:59 PM ET daily.

Can I hold positions over the weekend?

Yes. Weekend trading and weekend holds are both allowed. Crypto markets operate 24/7, and Tradeify Crypto doesn't restrict when you can trade or hold. I've started using weekends specifically for Tradeify Crypto since my futures accounts are offline from Friday evening to Sunday evening.

Are there news trading restrictions?

None. You can trade through FOMC, CPI, NFP, Bitcoin halving events, exchange hacks — anything. This differs from Tradeify Futures, which restricts trading around high-impact macroeconomic events. My personal recommendation: avoid opening new positions during the first 5 minutes after major macro releases due to spread widening, but the rules allow it.

What leverage does Tradeify Crypto offer?

5:1 across all account sizes and types, system-enforced by DXtrade. On a $25K account, maximum notional exposure is $125,000. This is significantly lower than competitors — HyroTrader offers 100:1, Crypto Fund Trader 100:1, Breakout up to 50:1. I actually prefer the 5:1 cap because it forces disciplined sizing.

Are there any restricted trading strategies?

No explicit strategy restrictions at launch — no martingale bans, no grid trading bans, no DCA limits. The rules are purely drawdown-based: stay within the 3% daily DD and 6% max trailing loss using whatever approach you choose. This contrasts with some futures prop firms that ban specific strategies on certain account types.

Can I use trading bots or automated strategies?

API access and fully automated trading haven't been confirmed at launch for Tradeify Crypto on DXtrade. Manual execution is supported. Semi-automated approaches (using TradingView alerts to trigger manual entries) work fine. Check their help center for current automation policies.

What happens if I breach the daily drawdown?

Immediate account termination. Hard breach. No recovery, no appeal, no end-of-day forgiveness. You can't be down $800 intraday, recover to -$200 by evening, and survive — the breach triggers the moment you touch the 3% limit. You'll need to purchase a new account to continue.

What happens if I breach the trailing max loss?

Same result — immediate account termination. The trailing max loss is also a hard breach. If your account balance drops below the trailing floor at any point during the session (not just end of day), the account is closed permanently.

What's the minimum number of trading days to pass the evaluation?

There's no minimum trading day requirement during the evaluation phase. You could theoretically pass in a single day if you hit the 12% profit target in one session while staying within drawdown limits. The 3 profitable day minimum (at 0.5% each) only applies to funded accounts before requesting payouts.

Platform & Trading

What platform does Tradeify Crypto use?

DXtrade — a web-based institutional trading platform built by Devexperts. It runs in your browser with no desktop application to install. Built-in TradingView charts, 24/7 execution, and institutional liquidity from Binance, OKX, and Bybit. It's the only platform option — no NinjaTrader, no Tradovate, no cTrader alternatives.

Can I use TradingView to execute trades?

Not directly. DXtrade has built-in TradingView charts (same indicators, drawing tools, and timeframes), but you can't execute trades from a standalone TradingView account through Tradeify Crypto. I run TradingView in a separate browser tab for custom indicators and alerts, then switch to DXtrade to execute.

Can I use NinjaTrader, Tradovate, or other platforms?

No. DXtrade is the only option. There's no Rithmic data feed, no third-party platform integration, and no alternative execution platform. If your edge depends on NinjaTrader's DOM ladder or Tradovate's specific order types, you'll need to adapt your workflow for DXtrade.

Does DXtrade have a Depth of Market (DOM) view?

No traditional DOM ladder like what you'd find on Tradovate or NinjaTrader. You can see basic bid/ask prices but not the full depth of stacked orders at each price level. For order-flow traders who read the tape as their primary edge, this is a significant limitation.

Is there a mobile app for Tradeify Crypto?

No native mobile app. DXtrade's web interface is responsive and works on mobile browsers, but it's not optimized for phone-screen trading. I use mobile only for emergency position monitoring and checking account status — never for placing or managing trades.

What crypto pairs can I trade?

Over 100 crypto pairs including BTC/USD, ETH/USD, SOL/USD, ADA/USD, MATIC/USD, and various altcoins against USD and other base currencies. BTC and ETH have the deepest liquidity and tightest spreads. Altcoin spreads widen significantly during low-volume sessions, especially weekends and Asian hours.

How are spreads on DXtrade?

BTC spreads are impressively tight during US session hours — often under $2, sometimes under $1. They widen to $3-$8 during weekends and Asian sessions. ETH spreads follow a similar pattern. Altcoin spreads are considerably wider and can become nearly untradeable during low-liquidity windows. All trading costs are built into the spread — no additional per-trade commissions.

Are there commissions on trades?

No. Tradeify Crypto uses a spread-only cost model. There are no per-trade commissions, no exchange fees, and no routing charges. Every cost is embedded in the bid-ask spread. This simplifies P&L tracking — what you see on the trade confirmation is what you get.

What order types does DXtrade support?

Market, Limit, Stop, Stop-Limit, and OCO (One-Cancels-Other). Trailing stop orders are limited compared to platforms like NinjaTrader or cTrader. Bracket orders with automatic take-profit and stop-loss exist, but advanced conditional orders are limited. I set stops manually and manage take-profits by watching the screen on most trades.

Can I use custom TradingView indicators on DXtrade?

No. DXtrade uses TradingView's standard indicator library, not the full TradingView platform with Pine Script support. If you rely on custom Pine Script indicators, run them in a separate TradingView account and use DXtrade solely for execution.

Payouts & Withdrawals

What is the profit split?

80% of profits go to you, 20% to Tradeify. This applies to all account types, all sizes, and all payout amounts. There's no tiered progression — it's flat 80% from your first payout onward. This is 10% lower than Tradeify Futures' 90/10 split.

How do payouts work?

Once funded, meet the minimum 3 profitable trading days (each at 0.5%+ of account balance), then request a payout through your Tradeify Crypto dashboard. Payouts are processed through Rise — the same processor used for Tradeify Futures. Payout frequency is every 14 days based on the website's current information.

How fast are payouts processed?

Tradeify Crypto advertises 24-hour payout processing. On the futures side, Rise payouts in my experience take 15-30 minutes to hit the Rise wallet, then 1-3 business days to reach your bank via ACH or wire. I haven't completed a crypto-side payout yet to confirm exact timing, but the Rise infrastructure is identical.

What payout methods are available?

Rise is the primary payout processor, which supports ACH transfers, wire transfers, PayPal, and other withdrawal methods depending on your region. The setup process involves completing KYC verification through Rise when you request your first payout. If Tradeify Crypto adds Plane as an alternative (like the futures side), additional options may become available.

What is the minimum payout amount?

Verify on Tradeify Crypto's website or help center, as minimum payout amounts may differ from the futures platform. On the futures side, minimums vary by account type and payout number. The crypto side likely follows a similar structure.

How often can I request payouts?

Every 14 days based on the pricing page specifications. After requesting a payout, your trading day counter resets and you'll need to accumulate 3 new profitable days (at 0.5% minimum each) before the next payout request becomes eligible.

What are the requirements for payout eligibility?

Three minimum profitable trading days with at least 0.5% profit each ($125/day on a $25K account). No consistency rule restricts how your profits are distributed across days. Once you meet the 3-day minimum and your dashboard shows eligibility, you can request a payout through the platform.

Do payouts affect the trailing drawdown?

This is critical to verify. Your EOD trailing max loss floor moves up with your highest end-of-day balance. If you withdraw profits, your account balance drops — but the trailing floor may remain at its previous level. Confirm with Tradeify Crypto support exactly how withdrawals interact with the trailing drawdown to avoid an accidental post-payout breach.

Tradeify Crypto vs Tradeify Futures

How does pricing differ between Crypto and Futures?

Tradeify Crypto charges one-time fees ($42-$539 with LAUNCH discount). Tradeify Futures charges monthly subscriptions ($90-$220/month depending on plan type). The crypto model eliminates recurring cost pressure but means breaches cost the full account price again, while futures gives you monthly resets.

How does the profit split compare?

Tradeify Crypto pays 80% on all accounts. Tradeify Futures pays 90% (with some plans offering 100% on the first $15K). That 10% difference on a $5,000 payout means $500 less per withdrawal on the crypto side. Over a year of regular payouts, the gap adds up to thousands of dollars.

Can I run Tradeify Crypto and Tradeify Futures simultaneously?

Yes. They're completely separate products under the same parent company. Your crypto accounts don't affect your futures accounts in any way. I'm actively trading both — futures during RTH sessions and crypto during off-hours, evenings, and weekends.

How do trading rules differ between Crypto and Futures?

Crypto allows overnight holds, weekend holds, and has no news trading restrictions. Futures forces position closure at 4:59 PM ET, restricts trading around high-impact macro events, and has session-defined trading hours. Crypto also uses a fixed 5:1 leverage cap, while futures uses contract-based position limits.

Which platform is better — DXtrade or Tradovate?

Different tools for different jobs. Tradovate has a superior DOM ladder, desktop application, third-party integrations, and familiarity for futures traders. DXtrade has built-in TradingView charts, 24/7 execution, and zero additional platform costs. For crypto trading specifically, DXtrade is purpose-built and handles the 24/7 market structure well.

Strategy & Risk Management

What's the best strategy for passing the Tradeify Crypto evaluation?

Conservative BTC day trading at 1.5-2x effective leverage during US session hours (8:30 AM - 12 PM ET), targeting 1-2% daily account growth over 3-4 weeks. The 12% profit target is achievable without aggressive sizing if you avoid large losing days and trade only during high-volume sessions.

How should I size positions for the 3% daily drawdown?

Budget 60% of your daily DD for active trading — that's $450 on a $25K account. At 1.5x leverage on BTC ($37,500 notional), a 1% adverse move costs $375, leaving buffer for slippage and a potential second trade. Never use the full 5:1 leverage — a 0.6% BTC move would consume the entire daily DD.

Should I focus on BTC or trade multiple crypto pairs?

BTC for 80% of your trading. It offers the best combination of tight DXtrade spreads, deep institutional liquidity, and predictable volatility relative to the daily drawdown limits. ETH for 15% on high-conviction setups. Altcoins 5% or less — their wider spreads and higher volatility create unfavorable risk profiles at these DD levels.

How long does it typically take to pass the evaluation?

At conservative sizing ($300-$400 daily target on a $25K account), expect 3-4 weeks. Faster is possible during strong BTC trends — a trader who captures three 2% daily moves at 2x leverage could reach 12% in under two weeks. But rushing by oversizing leads to more breaches than completions. There's no time limit, so patience costs nothing.

Can I swing trade on Tradeify Crypto?

Yes — and this is one of the platform's biggest advantages over futures prop firms. You can hold BTC through multiple days and weekends without forced closure. For swing trades, reduce leverage to 1x or less to protect against overnight volatility hitting the daily drawdown on the next session's reset.

Account Management

What happens if my account breaches during evaluation?

The account is closed permanently. No reset option at launch. You purchase a new account at the current price to continue. Budget for 1-2 potential breaches when calculating your total investment — two $215 evaluations ($430) is still cheaper than 3 months of Tradeify Futures subscription.

Can I reset a failed evaluation?

No free reset option at launch. The one-time fee model doesn't include monthly renewal cycles with complimentary resets. Each breach requires buying a fresh account. This is the trade-off for not having recurring monthly charges.

Can I pause my account?

Verify current policies on Tradeify Crypto's help center. On the futures side, accounts cannot be paused or put on hold. Given the crypto side uses one-time fees rather than subscriptions, the concept of pausing doesn't apply the same way — your account stays active until it breaches.

Is there an inactivity rule?

On Tradeify Futures, simulated funded accounts require at least one trade per week to remain active. Tradeify Crypto may have similar requirements. Since there's no subscription to keep billing, the inactivity policy may differ. Check their help center or contact support for current rules.

Can I change my email or account information?

On the futures side, email changes are generally not permitted because your email is tied to account identity, trading history, and payout verification. Tradeify Crypto likely follows similar policies. Contact support for any account information changes.

Technical & Setup

How quickly do I receive my account after purchase?

My credentials arrived within 90 minutes of purchase on launch day. Standard processing is within a few hours. You receive login details for DXtrade and can start trading immediately — no data feed setup, no platform download, no additional configuration required.

Do I need to download any software?

No. DXtrade runs entirely in your web browser. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all work. No desktop application, no software installation, no data feed subscriptions. Bookmark the DXtrade URL, log in, and you're trading.

How do I set up DXtrade for the first time?

Log in with your credentials, and DXtrade opens to the default dashboard with charting, order entry, and account monitoring panels. Add BTC/USD and ETH/USD to your watchlist, set your preferred chart timeframes (I use 5-minute and 15-minute), enable one-click trading in settings, and set your default position size. Total setup time: about 20 minutes.

Can I use multiple monitors with DXtrade?

Yes — open multiple browser windows across monitors. I use one monitor for DXtrade (execution) and one for standalone TradingView (analysis with custom indicators). DXtrade's web-based architecture makes multi-window setups straightforward, though you'll want to use a dedicated Chrome profile to avoid resource conflicts.

What internet connection do I need?

A stable broadband connection is sufficient. Wired ethernet is preferable over WiFi for consistent latency during order execution. DXtrade is lightweight as web platforms go — it doesn't require the bandwidth that desktop applications with Level II data feeds demand.

What happens if DXtrade crashes during a trade?

Your open positions remain active on the server even if your browser crashes. Close and reopen DXtrade to reconnect. This is why every trade should have a stop loss — if your connection drops during a volatile move, the stop protects you from drawdown breaches while you're disconnected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tradeify Crypto available in my country?

Tradeify Crypto serves traders in most countries globally. However, like Tradeify Futures, certain countries may be restricted due to regulatory requirements. Specific restricted country lists should be verified on their website during the sign-up process — payment processing will be declined if you're in a restricted region.

Do I need trading experience to start?

There's no experience requirement to purchase an account, but the rules are unforgiving for beginners. The 3% daily drawdown and 5:1 leverage create situations where inexperienced traders can breach accounts quickly. I'd recommend at least 3-6 months of demo crypto trading before risking money on evaluations.

Can I trade from my phone?

DXtrade works in mobile browsers, but I strongly advise against executing trades on a phone screen. The order entry is too small for reliable execution, and the risk of misclicks is high. Use mobile for monitoring positions and checking account status only — trade execution should happen on a desktop or laptop.

How does Tradeify Crypto compare to Breakout?

Breakout offers lower profit targets (10% vs 12%), higher leverage options (up to 50:1 vs 5:1), and their proprietary Breakout Terminal alongside DXtrade. Tradeify Crypto offers EOD trailing drawdown (more forgiving than Breakout's equity-based tracking), higher max funding ($600K vs $200K), and the proven $125M+ payout infrastructure from the futures side. Different strengths for different trading styles.

Does Tradeify Crypto offer a demo or practice account?

No practice accounts have been announced at launch. On the futures side, Tradeify doesn't offer demo accounts either. The $5K 1-Step at $42 (with LAUNCH discount) functions as an affordable way to test the platform and rules without significant financial risk, though it's a real evaluation with real consequences.

Where can I get support if I have issues?

Tradeify Crypto offers support through their help center at help.tradeifycrypto.co and their Discord server. On the futures side, support is responsive via live chat and email during business hours (Mon-Fri, 8 AM - 5 PM EST). The crypto side likely follows similar support hours, with Discord providing community assistance outside business hours.
