What does Tradeify currently sell?
As of August 2026: Tradeify sells three product families in four sizes. Growth and Select are one-step evaluations. Lightning goes directly to Sim Funded. Elite is a later live-capital program and cannot be bought.
| Product | Sizes | Entry phase | Purchase range | Reset? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Growth | 25K, 50K, 100K, 150K | Evaluation | $99 to $369 | Yes |
| Select | 25K, 50K, 100K, 150K | Evaluation | $109 to $369 | Yes |
| Lightning | 25K, 50K, 100K, 150K | Sim Funded | $345 to $796 | No |
All three are one-time purchases with no current activation fee. Advanced is legacy and not sold to new buyers. The Tradeify accounts guide has the complete 3-by-4 price and reset matrix.
How do Growth, Select and Lightning differ?
Growth has the lowest current entry price, a soft evaluation DLL, no evaluation consistency and a one-day minimum. Select has no evaluation DLL, but it requires 40% consistency and three trading days. Lightning removes evaluation and starts Sim Funded, but it has no reset.
| Feature | Growth Evaluation | Select Evaluation | Lightning Funded |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum days | 1 | 3 | None |
| Consistency at entry | None | 40% | Payout rule: 20%, 25%, then 30% |
| DLL | Soft, size-specific | None | None on 25K; size-specific above |
| After entry | Growth Sim Funded | Choose Flex or Daily | Already Sim Funded |
Select Flex has no funded DLL or consistency rule and requires five winning days. Select Daily uses a buffer, soft DLL and daily payout eligibility. The choice after passing Select is permanent. Compare the two in the Select Flex vs Select Daily guide.
How does Tradeify's EOD trailing drawdown work?
As of August 2026: the Tradeify drawdown floor updates from the highest end-of-day balance but is enforced in real time. Touching or falling below the floor is a hard breach, even if the account might recover before the close.
Evaluation drawdowns do not lock. Tradeify's general Sim Funded formula locks the floor at starting balance plus $100 after the required EOD profit is reached. Tradeify publishes two different Select Flex 25K lock triggers, so confirm that value with support before relying on it.
A daily loss limit is different. Tradeify treats the DLL as a soft stop until the next session beginning at 6:00 PM ET, unless the account also touches the hard drawdown floor. The Tradeify rules guide separates each phase and size.
When can Tradeify positions be held?
As of August 2026: Tradeify's session runs from 6:00 PM ET to 5:00 PM ET the following day. All positions must close by 4:45 PM ET. The published holiday close is 12:59 PM ET.
A position may remain open from the evening into the next afternoon inside the same CME session. It cannot remain open through the 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM maintenance break or across a weekend. Use the Tradeify trading-hours guide for holiday and overnight examples.
Which trading strategies does Tradeify allow?
As of August 2026: Tradeify allows news trading, DCA, flipping, scaling and martingale when the account still follows its risk and anti-hedging rules.
Same-direction copy trading is allowed among accounts the trader owns and manages. Opposing positions in the same instrument or product group are prohibited within one account and across accounts. Minis and micros may be combined in the same direction at the 10-to-1 conversion when the combined position stays within the cap.
Algorithms must be exclusively owned, kept within Tradeify and must not use HFT. The official microscalping article conflicts on whether its ten-second test applies to evaluations as well as funded accounts. The published scope remains unresolved, so treat the ten-second test as a risk until Tradeify clarifies it.
How do Tradeify payouts differ by account?
As of August 2026: Growth, Lightning, Select Flex and Select Daily use a 90/10 trader split. Elite uses 80/20. Eligibility, caps and request timing still differ by account family.
| Account | Eligibility gate | Minimum request | Processing statement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth | Five winning days plus 35% consistency | $250 to $1,500 by size | Normally 24 to 48 hours; off-hours up to 72 |
| Lightning | Fresh profit goal plus progressive consistency | $1,000 | Issued within 24 hours; off-hours up to 72 |
| Select Flex | Five winning days; no funded consistency | No numeric minimum published | Product-specific review window |
| Select Daily | Buffer plus fresh-profit and hard-cap tests | $250 | Official page conflicts between 24 hours and 24 to 48 |
The Tradeify payout guide lists every size-specific goal, buffer and request cap. Rise is the main payout provider. Plane is the alternative when Rise is unavailable or denies onboarding. The Tradeify Rise guide covers KYC and delivery after approval.
How many Tradeify accounts can you have?
As of August 2026: Tradeify permits up to five active Sim Funded accounts per individual and per household. The five can mix Growth, Select Flex, Select Daily and Lightning.
Growth evaluations are unlimited under the specific limit page. Select is limited to 15 evaluation purchases in a rolling 30-day period and ten resets per evaluation in a rolling 30-day period. A passed evaluation can be banked only during Tradeify's defined activation period. The official article does not state its duration; if activation expires, access may be lost and a new evaluation purchase may be required.
The automatic 5% bundle applies only to exactly five identical Growth 25K, Growth 50K, Select 25K or Select 50K evaluations in one checkout. Details and calculated totals are in the Tradeify multiple-accounts guide.
How does Tradeify Elite work?
As of August 2026: Tradeify may consider a trader for Elite after three payouts on one account or ten total payouts across plans. The threshold is not a guarantee of selection or timing.
When Tradeify selects a current-program trader, transition is mandatory. Evaluations and Sim Funded accounts close. Each funded account with at least one payout becomes its own Elite account, up to five. Accounts without a payout do not transfer, and post-payout Sim profit does not carry.
Elite starts at $0, uses live capital, has no DLL and pays an 80/20 split. A household cannot run Elite and Sim Funded accounts together. Read the Tradeify Elite guide before treating live transition as a goal.
Which platforms work with Tradeify?
As of August 2026: Tradeify offers three checkout connections. Tradovate works with Tradovate, NinjaTrader and TradingView. Rithmic works with Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart and R|Trader. WealthCharts works only with WealthCharts.
The chosen connection cannot be switched after purchase without buying another account. ProjectX is discontinued. Sierra Chart and paid TradingView features can create separate software costs even though Tradeify prices the three account connections the same.
What remains unresolved in Tradeify's official help center?
Tradeify's specific current pages are clearer than several generic or older articles, but some scalars still conflict. The Growth 150K funded DLL appears as both $3,000 and $3,750. Select Flex 25K has two published lock triggers. The Elite 150K starting row says six minis and 40 micros despite Tradeify's general 10-to-1 convention.
Select Daily's page gives two processing promises, and the microscalping scope is inconsistent. The relevant guides label each conflict and show the competing published values. A support answer or updated primary page is needed before any one of them can be presented as settled.
The bottom line
Tradeify fits futures traders who value one-time pricing, EOD trailing drawdown and three distinct entry paths. Growth favors lower cost, Select favors funded-policy choice, and Lightning favors speed to Sim Funded.
Skip Tradeify if a discretionary Elite selection that triggers a mandatory transition, an EOD trailing failure line or a broker connection locked at purchase would disrupt your trading plan. Read the product-specific rule and payout guides before checkout because the nominal account size never tells the whole risk story.
