What the rules mean in practice
- There is no evaluation. You trade a funded $50K account from day one, so the loss limits are the only rules between you and a payout.
- On any single day you can lose up to $1,250 (2.5%). Check Tradeify's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
- The account fails if you lose $2,000 (4%). This is end-of-day trailing drawdown: the loss limit moves up once a day, based on your end-of-day balance, and ignores swings during the session.
- Consistency rule: 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% after that
- At a 90% split, you need about 1.09% return on the funded account to earn back the $492 fee.
- Payouts: a request opens once new profit reaches the goal for that payout ($1,500, $3,000, $6,000 or $9,000 for the first; $1,000, $2,000, $3,500 or $4,500 after that) and the consistency rule is met.
- Per-request caps are $1,000 (25K), $2,000 (50K), $2,500 (100K) and $3,000 (150K) for the first three payouts, then $1,000, $2,500, $3,000 and $3,500. The minimum payout is $1,000.
- The daily loss limit is a soft breach. It rises to the full drawdown once the account is up 6%; the 25K has no daily loss limit.
- The drawdown locks at the starting balance plus $100 once cleared at the close or when a payout is requested.
- No resets are offered; a failed account must be bought again.
- The homepage lists a 5-day payout frequency, while the help center says there is no minimum number of trading days before a payout.
