Tradeify in a nutshell

Cost

Plans use one-time pricing and Tradeify lists no funded activation fee.

Main catch

Drawdown, consistency and payout conditions change with the selected plan.

Editorial summary

Tradeify suits futures traders who want one-time pricing and no activation fee. Its payout routes can be fast, but drawdown and consistency rules vary by plan, so the plan choice matters more than the headline account size.

Tradeify is a futures prop firm with three main routes: Select evaluation, Growth evaluation and Lightning funded. Current plan prices are one-time charges, and the firm says there is no activation fee after a trader qualifies. That makes the entry cost easier to understand than programs that add a second funded-account charge.

The practical trade-off is rule complexity. Select uses a three-day minimum evaluation and a 40% consistency rule during that stage. Funded traders then choose between Select Daily and Select Flex, while Growth and Lightning keep their own payout and consistency requirements. All accounts use an end-of-day trailing drawdown that is enforced in real time.

Platform coverage is broad for a futures firm, but it is not a MetaTrader offering. Tradovate connects to NinjaTrader and TradingView. Rithmic accounts can use Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart or R|Trader, while WealthCharts accounts stay on WealthCharts.

Tradeify is strongest for traders who already know which payout path fits their risk controls. The fast payout options are useful, but comparing only the 90% simulated profit split misses the lower 80% split and stricter operating rules that apply after a discretionary move to Elite Live.

Trust

3.8 /5

The current rules are unusually well documented.

Pros

  • Detailed first-party rule pages

Cons

  • Elite Live selection is discretionary
Tradeify publishes separate help pages for pricing, evaluations, payouts, drawdown and live progression. The main limitation is structural: evaluation and simulated funded accounts are not the same as a guaranteed live allocation.

Cost

4.2 /5

One-time pricing and no activation fee keep the fee path clear.

Pros

  • No activation fee
  • No recurring plan charge

Cons

  • Pricing rises sharply with account size
Growth starts at $99 for a 25K evaluation, Select at $109 and Lightning at $345 under the current pricing reference. Tradeify lists no recurring plan charge and no funded activation fee, although commissions and market-data choices still affect the total cost.

Payout speed

4.4 /5

Payout timing ranges from daily to a five-winning-day cycle.

Pros

  • Daily payout route available
  • 90% simulated funded split

Cons

  • Payout limits depend on plan
  • Elite Live split falls to 80%
Select Daily permits payout requests after its buffer conditions are met. Select Flex uses five winning days, while Elite Live allows daily requests. Simulated funded payouts use a 90% trader split; Elite Live uses 80%.

Drawdown rules

3.3 /5

The trailing drawdown is calculated at the close but enforced during the session.

Pros

  • End-of-day recalculation is easier to track than tick-by-tick trailing

Cons

  • The active threshold can still fail the account intraday
Tradeify describes its maximum drawdown as end-of-day trailing. The threshold is recalculated after the session, yet touching the active threshold intraday is a hard breach. Dollar limits vary by account size and funded route.

Scaling plan

3.8 /5

Profitable simulated accounts can be considered for Elite Live.

Pros

  • Repeated live transitions are possible
  • Up to five live accounts

Cons

  • Meeting the payout threshold does not guarantee selection
A trader becomes eligible for consideration after three payouts on one account or ten payouts across plans since the last transition. Qualification is not automatic. Selected accounts move to Elite Live, and a trader can hold up to five live accounts.

Trading platform

4.1 /5

Tradeify supports several futures trading front ends.

Pros

  • Multiple Tradovate and Rithmic front ends

Cons

  • No MetaTrader or cTrader support
Tradovate accounts can use NinjaTrader and TradingView. Rithmic supports Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart and R|Trader. WealthCharts is also available as its own connection route. MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader are not listed in the official platform reference.

Customer support

3.8 /5

The help centre is detailed and current.

Pros

  • Detailed help centre

Cons

  • No independently measured response time
Plan rules are split into focused articles with update dates and worked examples. Live chat is available for account-specific questions, though public response-time measurements are not published.

Account opening

4.0 /5

Traders can choose evaluation or instant funded entry.

Pros

  • Instant and evaluated routes

Cons

  • More plan comparison is required before purchase
Select has a three-trading-day evaluation minimum, Growth can qualify after one day, and Lightning skips the evaluation. The choice is quick, but each route leads to a different funded rule set.

Restrictions

3.1 /5

Consistency and payout rules are plan specific.

Pros

  • Select funded accounts remove the evaluation consistency rule

Cons

  • Restrictions change by plan and account stage
Select evaluation uses a 40% consistency rule. Growth funded uses 35%, and Lightning thresholds vary by version. Tradeify also restricts simultaneous simulated and live funded activity once a trader moves to Elite Live.

Frequently asked questions

  • Does Tradeify charge an activation fee?
    No. The current pricing reference says plans use one-time pricing and there is no activation fee after qualification.
  • What is the Tradeify profit split?
    Simulated funded payouts use a 90% trader split. Elite Live accounts use an 80% trader split.
  • How fast are Tradeify payouts?
    Select Daily can support daily requests after its buffer conditions are met. Select Flex uses five winning days, and Elite Live also permits daily requests.
  • Does Tradeify support MetaTrader?
    No MetaTrader or cTrader platform is listed in Tradeify's current platform reference. The supported routes use Tradovate, Rithmic or WealthCharts front ends.
  • Is Tradeify's drawdown end-of-day?
    Yes, the trailing threshold is recalculated at the end of the session. The active threshold is still enforced in real time, so touching it intraday is a hard breach.
