Tradeify Elite Program: Live Capital Accounts & Payout Rules

The Tradeify Elite Program is the highest-tier live trading environment inside Tradeify’s ecosystem — built for traders who consistently perform across the Select, Growth, and Lightning plans. Elite status unlocks live brokerage accounts, daily payouts, fixed drawdowns, bonus incentives, and professional-level scaling across multiple live accounts.

This guide breaks down exactly how traders qualify, how payouts work, what happens during the transition from sim to live, and how Tradeify manages risk while rewarding long-term consistency.

What Makes Tradeify Elite Different?

The Elite Program turns your funded-sim results into real live accounts with:

• Up to 5 Elite Live accounts
• Fixed EOD drawdown
• No Daily Loss Limit (DLL)
• Expanded contract limits
• 90/10 payout split (promo)
• Daily payout eligibility
• Bonus milestones up to $50,000
• No sim-profit caps
• Unlimited future transitions to live
• Eligibility across any plan (Select, Growth, Lightning)

Tradeify treats Elite traders like professionals — providing structure, autonomy, capital, and scaling based on proven performance.

Elite Eligibility: The 5-Payout Requirement Explained

To be eligible for Elite Live, traders must achieve:

→ 5 total payouts since the last Live Transition

These payouts can come from:

• Select
• Growth
• Lightning
• Any funded account type

It does not matter which plan generated the payouts.

When does the counter start?

• If you’ve never been live → counter starts at your first purchase
• If you’ve been live before → counter starts after your most recent transition to live

Important:

Reaching 5 payouts does NOT automatically move you live.
Tradeify reviews performance and selects traders who meet the internal criteria.

Transition Flow: What Happens When You Are Selected for Elite Live

When Tradeify approves you for Elite, the transition is immediate and structured:

1. All Sim Accounts Close

All evaluation and sim-funded accounts are stopped and removed.

2. Eligible Accounts Move Live

Any funded sim account that:

• Achieved a payout
• Meets Tradeify’s criteria

…is upgraded to an Elite Live account.

You may receive 1 to 5 Elite Live accounts, depending on eligibility.

3. Elite Credentials Issued

You receive live brokerage credentials, including:

• Drawdown rules
• Contract limits
• Payout access details
• Account login instructions

Your payout counter resets to zero, and you begin your next 5-payout cycle toward future transitions.

Elite Live Account Parameters (Drawdown, Contracts, DLL)

Elite accounts share a unified rule set across all Select, Growth, and Lightning plan origins.

Key takeaways:

• No Daily Loss Limit → full intraday flexibility
• Drawdown is EOD-based → safer than tick-trailing
• Contract limits double above the drawdown line
• You are treated like a professional trader, not a sim trader

Elite Live Bonus Program (Up to $50,000)

Tradeify rewards Elite traders with milestone-based bonuses tied to cumulative live profits.‍

This is one of the strongest bonus systems among futures prop firms.

Elite Examples (Explained Clearly)

Example 1 — Trader with 5× 150K Select Daily accounts

• All 5 accounts hit 5 payouts each
  → Trader exceeds the 5-payout threshold
  → All 5 accounts qualify
  → Trader receives five 150K Elite Live accounts

Example 2 — Mixed Select & Lightning accounts

• 2× 50K Select Daily → 4 payouts each
• 2× 50K Lightning → 2 payouts each
  → Trader exceeds threshold
  → All 4 accounts become 50K Elite

Example 3 — Mixed account sizes with uneven payouts

• 1× 50K Select → 0 payouts
• 2× 150K Lightning → 5 payouts
• 1× 100K Growth → 1 payout
  → Trader exceeds threshold overall
  → Only accounts with payout(s) transition
  → Trader receives 2× 150K Elite + 1× 100K Elite

Elite Failure & Cool-Off Policy

If a trader breaches an Elite account:

• Up to 4-week cool-off period
• Afterward, they may purchase a new evaluation
• They resume at sim phase and begin earning payouts again
• 5 new payouts → next Elite eligibility cycle

This ensures traders regroup before managing live capital again.

Payout Rules for Elite Live Accounts

Tradeify Elite has one of the simplest payout structures in the industry.

Payout Split

90/10 → Trader keeps 90% (promo), Tradeify keeps 10%.

Daily Payouts

Withdraw any amount above starting balance every day if desired.

Drawdown Lock

Once your balance reaches:

Starting Balance + $100

→ Drawdown becomes permanently fixed
→ The account behaves like a static drawdown live account
→ Massive advantage for scaling and capital preservation

Legacy Program Option

If traders purchased accounts before Dec 3rd, they may choose:

Option A — New Elite Program

• Multi-transition system
• Unlimited returns to live
• No sim-profit caps
• Bonus structure
• More flexible scaling

Option B — Previous Live Program

• Single transition to live
• $100K sim profit cap

This choice is permanent and offered once.

Elite-Only Mode Explained

Tradeify may place certain traders into Elite-Only Mode.

When does this happen?

• Exceptional consistency
• Strong historical performance
• Reduced risk profile
• Needs tighter oversight
• Institutional-grade trading behavior

What does Elite-Only Mode mean?

• Trader may only use the Select plan
• Passing a Select evaluation → direct-to-live (no sim phase)
• Faster, controlled progression

This is similar to a “priority capital allocation track” used in proprietary trading firms.

Who Tradeify Elite Is Best For

The Elite Program is perfect for traders who:

• Consistently pass multiple payout cycles
• Thrive under EOD drawdown environments
• Prefer daily payouts
• Want multiple live accounts
• Manage risk professionally
• Are scaling toward six-figure profits

Elite is Tradeify’s answer to truly prop-level capital access.
