Tradeify Growth Account Guide: EOD Drawdown, Fewer Traps, Faster Path to Payouts

What the Growth Account Is (and Isn’t)

Growth is Tradeify’s evaluation track that swaps the tighter intraday trail (Advanced) for EOD trailing drawdown. Same profit targets and contract sizing, but with rules that won’t yank the rug mid-session. Payouts from funded sim are quick (often hours), and there’s a defined pipeline to LIVE funding once you’ve proven consistency.

It’s not a free pass: you still have a 35% consistency rule, soft daily loss limits, and minimum trading-day gates before withdrawals.

Plans, Costs & Risk Parameters (Growth)

Same targets as Advanced. The difference is the risk model: EOD trail + soft DLL.

Why EOD Trailing Drawdown Matters

• Intraday trail (Advanced): Trailing line moves tick-by-tick with open equity. One strong push → give back a bit → account clips, even if you finish green.
• EOD trail (Growth): Trail updates after the session close. Intraday swings don’t insta-violate you. You can actually manage trades.

Net: less micro-management, fewer “green → fail” scenarios, more realistic risk.

Rules That Will Actually Affect You

• Consistency rule: 35% — your biggest day can’t be more than 35% of profits in the payout cycle. One monster day delays payouts.
• Soft DLL: Hit it and you’re benched for the day, not failed. Preserve the account; trade tomorrow.
• Min trading days for payout (funded sim): Typically 10 days and 5 profitable days before you can withdraw.
• Hold-time guardrail: At least half your trades (or half your P&L) must come from >10s holds. Micro-scalpers: adapt.
• Strategy freedom: News trading allowed, scaling in/out allowed, flipping allowed. No HFT, no exploiting feed glitches, no hedging the same product both ways.
• Platforms: Tradovate, TradingView (via Tradovate), NinjaTrader (via Tradovate), ProjectX.
• Assets: CME suite—indices, metals, energies, ags, rates (minis & micros).
• Payout cadence: Fast—often same-day/within hours once eligible; payout windows apply.

Payouts & Splits (once funded sim → LIVE path)

• Sim payouts: 100% of first $15,000, then 90% afterward, subject to consistency and day-count requirements.
• LIVE funding: After proving consistency (e.g., multiple sim payouts), you can unlock LIVE with 90/10 on base balance (80/20 above), daily withdrawals, and a risk manager.
• Expect consistency checks to remain (usually 35%). Plan your sizing to avoid a single outlier day.

Growth vs. Advanced (No Spin)

• Advanced: cheaper, intraday trail, no DLL → strict leash intraday.
• Growth: pricier, EOD trail, soft DLL → materially more survivable.
  Choose Advanced only if your execution is surgical and you thrive in tight leash conditions. Otherwise, Growth is the practical route.

Sizing Plan to Pass Growth (without drama)

Goal: Hit target in 6–10 trading days, never touch soft DLL, never violate 35% consistency.

1. Start micros only (first 3–4 days):
   Keep worst-case day at ~60–70% of your soft DLL. Example ($100K): cap realized daily loss ≈ $1,500? Too high. Set personal cap ≤$1,000.
2. Stair-step size at progress milestones:
   • At +30–40% of target → increase micro size modestly.
   • At +60–70% → cut per-trade risk in half. Protect the finish.
3. Consistency guard:
   If best day approaches 35% of period P&L, downshift size to let the ratio normalize over the next sessions.
4. Use EOD to your advantage:
   Manage runners; don’t fear intraday heat. Just don’t let “heat” become “hope.”

Pros & Cons (No sugarcoating)

Pros

• EOD trail avoids intraday clip-outs
• Soft DLL = live to fight another day
• Fast payouts once eligible (often hours)
• Strategy flexibility (news, scaling, flipping; bots allowed if compliant)
• Clear route from sim → LIVE funding

Cons

• Higher monthly fees vs. Advanced
• 35% consistency can delay payout after big days
• Hold-time rule crimps ultra-short scalps
• Tradovate stack only (no Rithmic/Sierra)

FAQ

Is Growth worth the higher fee?
If intraday trail has killed you before, yes. EOD + soft DLL is the difference between passing in 8 days vs. resetting on day 2.

Can I pass in one day?
Technically, yes. Practically, don’t. You’ll trip the 35% consistency and slow your payout.

What about bots?
Allowed if you coded them and they respect rules (esp. >10s hold). No HFT.

How fast are payouts?
Once eligible, often same day (even weekends), processed via providers like Rise/Plane.

How do I reach LIVE?
Stack multiple clean sim payouts while respecting consistency. Then you can be invited to LIVE with risk oversight and daily withdrawals.

Verdict

If you want realistic risk rules and a credible route to fast payouts, Growth is the Tradeify account that won’t fight your edge. You’ll pay more each month, but EOD trail + soft DLL + quick withdrawals is exactly what helps disciplined traders cross the line—and keep the account.

Promo tip: use current code (NOV, when active) if you’re opening or rotating accounts.
