Tradeify sells three account types. Select is a 3-day evaluation with a 40% consistency rule and no daily loss limit. Growth can be passed in 1 day with no consistency rule but a soft daily loss limit. Lightning is a funded account you buy directly. All three are one-time purchases with no activation fee, all use an end-of-day trailing drawdown, and Select and Growth pay out at 90/10. Copying trades between accounts you own is allowed. Holding opposite positions across any of your accounts is not.
Checked against Tradeify's help center on October 14, 2026. Tradeify changed several payout caps on September 1, 2026, so the caps below are the ones listed for new purchases after that date.
Peter Kennedy covers Tradeify's pricing, rules and payouts. It's an independent video, so check the figures below and Tradeify's help center for anything that has changed.
| Select | Growth | Lightning Funded | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | 3-day evaluation, then a funded account | 1-day evaluation, then a funded account | Funded account bought directly |
| Minimum days | 3 (2 with the 50% add-on) | 1 | No evaluation |
| Consistency | 40% in the evaluation only | None in the evaluation, 35% when funded | 20%, 25%, then 30% by payout number |
| Daily loss limit | None in the evaluation | Soft breach in the evaluation | $1,250 / $2,500 / $3,750 (50K / 100K / 150K), none on 25K |
| Drawdown | End-of-day trailing | End-of-day trailing | End-of-day trailing |
| Payouts | Flex (5 winning days) or Daily, chosen once | 5 profitable days per cycle | No minimum days |
Tradeify says every current account type is a one-time purchase with no recurring billing and no activation fee. A previous version of this page called the evaluation a monthly subscription, which is no longer the case.
| Size | Profit target | Select drawdown | Growth drawdown | Max position | Growth daily loss limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $1,000 | $1,000 | 1 mini / 10 micros | $600 |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 | 4 / 40 | $1,250 |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,000 | $3,500 | 8 / 80 | $2,500 |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | $5,000 | 12 / 120 | $3,750 |
A few details that matter. Accounts bought before the new dashboard launch keep the older $2,500 target on a Select 50K. The drawdown recalculates only at the end of the day and trails up after a profitable day, but Tradeify enforces it in real time against your net liquidation value, so touching it intraday fails the account. It locks at $100 above the starting balance (for example $50,100 on a 50K). The Growth daily loss limit is a soft breach: trading stops for the day and the account isn't failed. Micros count 10 to 1 against the limit, and there is no scaling.
You also have to place at least one trade per week, Monday to Friday, on evaluation and funded accounts. A trade can last 5 seconds, and Tradeify says it will contact you before acting on idle time.
| Size | Growth | Select (40%) | Select (50% add-on) | Lightning Funded |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $99 (reset $60) | $109 (reset $75) | $135 (reset $90) | $345 |
| $50K | $145 (reset $95) | $165 (reset $109) | $205 (reset $135) | $492 |
| $100K | $255 (reset $169) | $265 (reset $169) | $329 (reset $209) | $660 |
| $150K | $369 (reset $229) | $369 (reset $239) | $459 (reset $299) | $796 |
These are the figures on Tradeify's pricing reference when we checked, and Tradeify runs promo codes, so the live price may differ. Lightning accounts can't be reset, so a failed account means buying a new one. Buying five of the same Growth or Select 25K or 50K account in one checkout takes 5% off.
After you pass a Select evaluation you choose Flex or Daily, and the choice is permanent for that account. Neither has a consistency rule once funded.
| Select Flex | Select Daily | |
|---|---|---|
| When you can ask | After 5 winning days | Daily, once above the buffer and positive for the cycle |
| Winning day | $100 / $150 / $200 / $250 (25K / 50K / 100K / 150K) | Not applicable |
| Maximum request | Up to 50% of total profit, capped | Up to 2x profit since the last payout, capped |
| Caps per request (25K / 50K / 100K / 150K) | $1,250 / $2,500 / $3,500 / $4,500 | $600 / $1,250 / $1,750 / $2,500 |
| Buffer | None | $1,100 / $2,100 / $2,600 / $3,600 |
| Daily loss limit | None | $500 / $1,000 / $1,250 / $1,750 |
| Max drawdown | $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500 | $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,500 |
| Split and minimum | 90/10, $250 | 90/10, $250 |
The caps are the ones listed for purchases after September 1, 2026. Before that date, Flex was $3,000 / $4,000 / $5,000 on the 50K / 100K / 150K and Daily was $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,500. After your first payout, the drawdown locks at $100 above the starting balance once your end-of-day balance passes the trigger: $52,100 on a Flex 50K, and $26,100, $103,100 and $154,600 on the others. Tradeify's page describes Daily processing both as a 24-hour guarantee and as 24 to 48 hours, so allow the longer figure.
Lightning needs no minimum number of trading days. It has the tightest consistency rule on the site. For accounts bought after September 12, 2025 it is 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% after that. Older accounts are 20% throughout. You receive 90%, and the minimum is $1,000.
| Size | Profit goal, payout 1 | Profit goal, payout 2 on | Max request, payouts 1 to 3 | Max request, payout 4 on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,500 | $2,500 | $3,000 |
| $150K | $9,000 | $4,500 | $3,000 | $3,500 |
Profit goals reset after every payout, and profit above the cap stays in the account for later. You can't edit or cancel a request, and you can't file another until it is approved or denied. Profit is set at daily reconciliation between about 6 and 8 PM ET.
Uses Tradeify's formula: best day divided by total profit must be at or below the limit, with commissions excluded. Lightning percentages are for accounts bought after Sept 12, 2025. Tradeify's dashboard decides.
Two points from Tradeify's article. A ratio exactly at the limit passes, and only a value above it fails. And losses raise your ratio, because they cut total profit: a $1,000 best day on $1,500 of profit is 66.7%, and a $300 loss moves it to 83.3%. Missing the rule doesn't fail the account. You just aren't eligible for a payout until more profitable days bring the ratio down, and the calculation resets after each approved payout.
Tradeify's Tradovate guide says you may group trade only between accounts you own and manage. It bars copying other people's strategies and copy trading with other people. Its hedging article adds that same-direction positions across your accounts are allowed and describes that as how copy trading works. It names third-party copiers but says it takes no responsibility for their errors and gives no support for them.
Its compliance FAQ is stricter about the edges. It lists synchronized trading, third-party account management and prohibited trade-copying among coordinated activities that may be reviewed, while saying that trade similarity alone doesn't establish coordination. The practical line is simple: one person, accounts in your own name, same direction. You can have up to five funded accounts at once across Growth, Select and Lightning. In Tradovate's group mode, ATM bracket strategies aren't supported and 'Exit All' only closes the selected account.
Tradeify rebranded its live program as Elite in March 2026. It removed the old $100K simulated profit cap, set no limit on the number of live transitions, and lets each funded account that receives a payout become eligible for its own Elite account. You can hold up to five Elite accounts, with no daily loss limit. For Select, Tradeify says you are eligible for consideration after 3 payouts on one account or 10 payouts in total across plan types. It is a minimum for consideration, and Tradeify picks and contacts traders. An older Select versus Growth article still says 5 payouts, so use the policy for your own plan.
Corrections on October 14, 2026. An earlier version of this page described the evaluation as a monthly subscription, gave maximum positions of 6, 12 and 15 contracts, said a 35% consistency rule applies to funded Select accounts, listed a 'no explicit copier policy', and said funded accounts have a news restriction published only on the dashboard. Tradeify's help center says one-time purchases, 4, 8 and 12 contracts on the 50K, 100K and 150K, no consistency rule on funded Select, and that copying between your own accounts is allowed.
