Tradeify Rules Explained (2026): Growth vs Select vs Lightning Drawdown, Consistency and Payout Rules

PickMyFuturesProp · 2026-10-09

Tradeify Growth, Select and Lightning rules in plain English: drawdowns, consistency math, the Select Daily vs Flex choice and payout caps.

Tradeify sells three account types: Growth, Select and Lightning. They share the basics: one-time fees, no activation fee, end-of-day trailing drawdown and a 90/10 split. Where they differ is in the rules that decide when you can pass and how much you can withdraw. Here's every Tradeify rule in plain English, taken from Tradeify's own help center (checked October 9, 2026).

Tradeify at a glance

Fees: one-time purchase on every plan. No subscription and no activation fee.
Drawdown: end-of-day trailing on every plan. It only moves up at the close, but it is enforced in real time. If your balance touches the floor mid-session, the account fails, even if you'd have recovered by the close.
Split: 90/10 on every sim-funded account. Traders Tradeify later moves to its Elite Live program get 80/20.
Trading hours: flat by 4:45 PM ET every day. No overnight or weekend holds, and that includes Live accounts.
News: news trading is allowed.
Account limit: up to 5 funded accounts in total, in any mix of Growth, Select and Lightning.

Prices, targets and drawdowns

Growth (list prices): 25K $99, 50K $145, 100K $255, 150K $369. Targets $1,500 / $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000. Max drawdown $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,500 / $5,000. Daily loss limit $600 / $1,250 / $2,500 / $3,750 (a soft limit: hitting it ends your day, not your account).

Select (list prices): 25K $109, 50K $165, 100K $265, 150K $369. Same targets as Growth. Evaluation drawdown $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500, with no daily loss limit in the evaluation.

Lightning (no evaluation, list prices): 25K $345, 50K $492, 100K $660, 150K $796. Max drawdown $1,000 / $2,000 / $4,000 / $5,250. No resets: if it fails, you buy a new one.

Passing the evaluation

Growth: no consistency rule and a 1-day minimum. Hit the target without touching the drawdown or blowing the daily limit and you pass, even in one session.
Select: a 40% consistency rule and a 3-day minimum. Your best day can't be more than 40% of your total profit. On the 50K, passing at the $3,000 target means your best day can be at most $1,200. If your best day was $1,500, you'd need $3,750 of total profit before you pass ($1,500 is 40% of $3,750).
Select with the 50% add-on: Tradeify also sells Select with a 50% consistency limit for a higher price, which lets you pass in as few as 2 days.

The Select decision: Daily or Flex

When you pass Select, you choose a payout path for that funded account. The choice is permanent.

Select Flex

No daily loss limit and no consistency rule once funded.
Drawdown $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,000 / $4,500.
Payouts every 5 winning days. A winning day means at least $100 / $150 / $200 / $250 profit (25K / 50K / 100K / 150K).
You can take up to 50% of your total profit per payout, up to a cap.
No minimum balance. On the 50K, the drawdown locks at $50,100 once your end-of-day balance reaches $52,100, or when you request your first payout, whichever comes first.

Select Daily

A daily loss limit: $500 on the 25K, $1,250 on the 100K and $1,750 on the 150K.
A smaller drawdown on the bigger sizes: $1,000 / $2,000 / $2,500 / $3,500. On the 100K and 150K, picking Daily costs you $500 and $1,000 of room.
A buffer you must clear before withdrawing: $1,100 / $2,100 / $2,600 / $3,600 above your starting balance.
Daily payouts. You can take up to 2x the profit you made since your last payout, up to the cap below.

Select payout caps

The most you can take in a single payout:

Select Flex: 25K $1,250, 50K $3,000, 100K $4,000, 150K $5,000.
Select Daily: 25K $600, 100K $1,500, 150K $2,500.

Flex pays less often but allows much bigger single payouts. Daily trades size for frequency.

On both Select paths, from the second payout on you must be net profitable since your last payout before you can request again.

Growth payout rules

Consistency: a 35% rule applies to every payout. If you request with $3,000 of profit, your best day can be at most $1,050.
Winning days: 5 days with at least $100 / $150 / $200 / $250 profit. The count resets after each payout.
Minimum balance to qualify: $26,500 / $53,000 / $104,500 / $156,500. That's the balance you need to reach, not the amount you can take out.
Daily loss limit while funded: $600 / $1,250 / $2,500 / $3,750, the same soft limit as in the evaluation.

Lightning payout rules

Profit goal per payout: you have to earn a fresh profit goal before each request. First payout: $1,500 / $3,000 / $6,000 / $9,000. After that: $1,000 / $2,000 / $3,500 / $4,500 of new profit. Leftover profit doesn't count toward the next goal.
20% consistency rule: no single day can be more than 20% of your profit. On the 50K, the first $3,000 goal means your best day can be at most $600, so plan on at least five days.
No minimum trading days, and payouts follow the same 5-day rhythm as Growth and Select Flex.
Daily loss limit: $1,250 / $2,500 / $3,000 on the 50K / 100K / 150K.

Which Tradeify account fits you?

Pick Growth if you want to pass fast (one day, no eval consistency rule) and you're fine with a daily loss limit and a 35% rule on payouts.
Pick Select Flex if you hate daily loss limits and want bigger, less frequent payouts.
Pick Select Daily if you want money out often and trade small, steady days. Check the smaller drawdown on the 100K and 150K first.
Pick Lightning if you'd rather pay more upfront to skip the evaluation, and you can live with a 20% consistency rule and a fresh profit goal before every payout.
