TradeifyReview: rules, payouts & account sizes

The Select $300K account is the largest size in the Tradeify Select plan. It follows the same unified evaluation structure as the other Select sizes and offers the same choice between the Select Flex and Select Daily payout policies once you are funded. Because of the size of the account, it carries its own purchase requirements, account limits, and funded parameters. It is also a limited release. The 300K has been released in two versions, V1 and V2, and both are covered in this article. Important: The Select 300K is a limited release with limited quantity and cannot be reset. If your evaluation fails, the account is closed, and continuing would require purchasing another 300K evaluation while stock remains. Which Version Applies to You The Select 300K has been released in two versions. Version 2 launched on August 27, 2026 and applies to every 300K account purchased on or after that date. Version 1 accounts purchased before August 27, 2026 continue to run under the V1 rules for the life of the account. Your parameters are set when you purchase and do not change. You can see which version your account is on in your Tradeify dashboard. Where this article shows two tables, use the one that matches your version. Select 300K V2 (current): $349 evaluation, $8,000 maximum loss limit, $4,000 daily loss limit. This is the version on sale now. Select 300K V1 (legacy): $449 evaluation, $6,000 maximum loss limit, no daily loss limit. No longer on sale. Existing V1 accounts continue under V1 rules and are not affected by the V2 release. V1 and V2 at a Glance Parameter V1 (legacy accounts) V2 (current) Evaluation price $449 $349 Profit target $14,000 $14,000 Evaluation maximum loss limit $6,000 (End of Day) $8,000 (End of Day) Evaluation daily loss limit None $4,000 Consistency requirement 40% 40% Flex drawdown $6,000 (End of Day) $8,000 (End of Day) Flex daily loss limit None $4,000 Flex payout cap Up to 50% of your total profits, capped at $10,000 per payout Up to 50% of your total profits, capped at $10,000 per payout Daily drawdown $5,000 (End of Day) $6,000 (End of Day) Daily loss limit (funded) $2,500 $3,000 Daily buffer $5,100 (balance of $305,100) $6,100 (balance of $306,100) Maximum payout per day (Daily) $3,500 $4,000 Funded account allowance Counts toward your 5 funded accounts Held on top of your 5 funded accounts, up to 8 sim funded accounts in total Maximum contracts 16 mini / 160 micro 16 mini / 160 micro How the 300K Differs from Other Select Sizes The 300K uses the same evaluation rules and payout policy structure as the 25K to 150K sizes, but the purchase conditions are different. Here are the key differences: Feature Select 300K Select 25K to 150K Availability Limited release Ongoing Platform Tradovate, Rithmic, or WealthCharts Tradovate, Rithmic, or WealthCharts Resets Not available Up to 10 per evaluation per 30 days Monthly evaluation limit Does not count toward the 15 per 30 days Counts toward the 15 per 30 days Maximum accounts 3 per user Standard funded account limits Funded account allowance V2: held on top of the standard 5 funded accounts, up to 8 in total. V1: counts toward the 5 Counts toward the standard 5 funded accounts Payout policy choice Flex or Daily, chosen after passing Flex or Daily, chosen after passing In summary: the 300K trades under the same rules you already know from Select, but it cannot be reset and is capped at three accounts per user. For the shared Select rules that apply to every size, see Select Evaluation Accounts . Purchase Requirements Limited quantity: The 300K is a limited release. Once the available accounts are sold, the size is removed from the purchase page. Price: $349 for the V2 evaluation. V1 evaluations were $449. There are no activation fees and no ongoing fees on the funded account. Platform: The 300K size is offered on Tradovate, Rithmic and WealthCharts. TradingView is supported, as it connects through Tradovate. Identity verification: KYC must be completed and approved before your purchase can be finalized. Account limit: A maximum of 3 Select 300K accounts per user. Funded account allowance: V2 300K funded accounts are held on top of the standard 5 funded accounts. With three of them you can hold up to 8 sim funded accounts in total. V1 300K funded accounts count toward the 5. Monthly allowance: 300K purchases do not count toward the limit of 15 evaluations per 30-day period. Resets: Not available at any stage. A failed evaluation requires a new purchase. Refunds: All sales are final, including account purchases and any associated fees. Evaluation Phase The evaluation phase uses a single set of rules designed to assess your trading skill and consistency, in the same way as every other Select size. 300K V2 Evaluation (current) Parameter 300K V2 Price $349 Profit target $14,000 Maximum loss limit $8,000 (End of Day) Daily loss limit $4,000 Consistency requirement 40% Maximum contracts 16 mini / 160 micro 300K V1 Evaluation (legacy accounts) Parameter 300K Price $449 Profit target $14,000 Maximum loss limit $6,000 (End of Day) Daily loss limit None Consistency requirement 40% Maximum contracts 16 mini / 160 micro Key Evaluation Features Daily Loss Limit: V2 evaluations carry a $4,000 daily loss limit. V1 evaluations have no daily loss limit. On both versions your maximum loss limit applies at all times. End of Day Drawdown: Your drawdown is calculated at session close, so intraday swings do not move the limit. The maximum loss limit is $8,000 on V2 and $6,000 on V1, and it is enforced in real time - touching it fails the account immediately. 40% Consistency Rule: No single trading day can represent more than 40% of your total profit. This means a minimum of 3 trading days to pass. Full contract size: You have access to the full 16 mini / 160 micro limit throughout the evaluation. Scaling applies only once you are funded. No Activation Fees: Start trading immediately after purchase with no additional costs. Tier 1 News Trading: You are allowed to trade during major news events. Instant Activation: Once you meet all evaluation conditions, you can activate your funded account directly from the dashboard. Making Your Choice After Passing Once you successfully pass your evaluation, you will be prompted to choose between two payout policies for your funded account. This decision is permanent for that account and determines how you access your profits. Full details of both policies, including worked payout examples, are in Select Flex and Select Daily Payout Policies . ​ Select Flex (5-Day Payout Policy) — 300K Designed for traders who prefer accumulating larger profit milestones before requesting withdrawals. This policy carries the wider drawdown of the two paths. On V1 it has no daily loss limit; on V2 it carries a $4,000 daily loss limit. 300K V2 Flex (current) Parameter 300K V2 Flex Maximum drawdown $8,000 Drawdown mode End of Day (the limit only updates at the close, but is still enforced in real time) Daily loss limit $4,000 Consistency rule None Winning day threshold $750 minimum profit per day Payout frequency Every 5 winning days Payout cap Up to 50% of your total profits, capped at $10,000 per payout Starting contracts 3 mini / 30 micro Max contracts (scaled) 16 mini / 160 micro 300K V1 Flex (legacy accounts) Parameter 300K Flex Maximum drawdown $6,000 Drawdown mode End of Day (the limit only updates at the close, but is still enforced in real time) Daily loss limit None Consistency rule None Winning day threshold $750 minimum profit per day Payout frequency Every 5 winning days Payout cap Up to 50% of your total profits, capped at $10,000 per payout Starting contracts 3 mini / 30 micro Max contracts (scaled) 16 mini / 160 micro Select Daily Payout Policy — 300K Designed for traders who value rapid access to profits and prefer more frequent withdrawals. This policy includes tighter risk management with a Daily Loss Limit and operates with a buffer. 300K V2 Daily (current) Parameter 300K V2 Daily Maximum drawdown $6,000 Drawdown mode End of Day (the limit only updates at the close, but is still enforced in real time) Daily loss limit $3,000 Consistency rule None Buffer $6,100 (balance of $306,100) Payout frequency Daily eligibility once above the buffer Maximum payout per day $4,000 New-profit rule 50% of each payout must come from new profit earned since your last payout Starting contracts 3 mini / 30 micro Max contracts (scaled) 16 mini / 160 micro 300K V1 Daily (legacy accounts) Parameter 300K Daily Maximum drawdown $5,000 Drawdown mode End of Day (the limit only updates at the close, but is still enforced in real time) Daily loss limit $2,500 Consistency rule None Buffer $5,100 (balance of $305,100) Payout frequency Daily eligibility once above the buffer Maximum payout per day $3,500 New-profit rule 50% of each payout must come from new profit earned since your last payout Starting contracts 3 mini / 30 micro Max contracts (scaled) 16 mini / 160 micro Profit Split 90% to the trader, 10% to Tradeify, on both paths. This is the same split applied to all Sim Funded accounts. Contract Scaling Plan (Funded Accounts Only) Select 300K funded accounts use a progressive scaling system that increases your contract limits as the account grows. Scaling is calibrated at End of Day, meaning your limits update based on your closing balance each trading day. The same plan applies to both the Flex and Daily paths, and it is identical on V1 and V2. End of Day profit Account balance Maximum contracts $0 to $1,500 $300,000 to $301,500 3 mini / 30 micro $1,500 to $3,000 $301,500 to $303,000 4 mini / 40 micro $3,000 to $5,000 $303,000 to $305,000 6 mini / 60 micro $5,000 to $7,000 $305,000 to $307,000 10 mini / 100 micro $7,000 and above $307,000 and above 16 mini / 160 micro Your contract limits are based on your End of Day equity. When your End of Day equity reaches a scaling trigger, your limits increase the following trading day. Scaling is cumulative. Once you reach a higher tier you retain those limits even if your balance later drops. During the evaluation you have the full 16 mini / 160 micro limit. Scaling applies to funded accounts only. Important Considerations Your choice is permanent. Once you select Flex or Daily, you cannot change payout policies for that account. Both lead to live trading. Either policy provides a path to Tradeify Elite Live accounts — see the Tradeify Elite Program . Drawdown locks at $300,100 on both versions. The balance that triggers the lock depends on your version and path. V2 Daily: once your End of Day balance reaches $306,100. V2 Flex: once your End of Day balance reaches $308,100. V1 Daily: once your End of Day balance reaches $305,100. V1 Flex: once your End of Day balance reaches $306,100. After locking, your drawdown stops trailing your peak and becomes a fixed floor at $300,100. Breaches are final. If your funded account breaches, it is closed and cannot be reinstated. You would need to purchase and pass a new 300K evaluation. All Select rules still apply. Trading hours, permitted products, hedging rules, and news trading guidelines are unchanged from the other Select sizes. Important Note: Please be aware that if you take a payout on a Select Flex account before reaching the drawdown lock threshold , your drawdown will automatically lock at $300,100 once the payout is approved. Frequently Asked Questions Q: How do I know whether my account is V1 or V2? A: Any 300K account purchased on or after August 27, 2026 is a V2 account. Accounts purchased before that date are V1. Your dashboard shows the parameters that apply to your account, and those parameters do not change for the life of the account. Q: My account is V1. Does the V2 release change my rules? A: No. V1 accounts keep the V1 parameters they were purchased with, including the $6,000 evaluation maximum loss limit and no evaluation daily loss limit. Nothing about your account changes. Q: Can I convert or upgrade a V1 account to V2? A: No. The version is fixed at purchase. If you want to trade under the V2 parameters you would need to purchase a V2 evaluation. Q: Is the 300K account a limited release? A: Yes. Only a limited quantity of Select 300K accounts is being released. Once they have all been sold, the 300K size is removed from the purchase page. We have no plans to add further stock at this time. Q: Which platforms is the 300K account available on? A: The 300K size is available on Tradovate, Rithmic and WealthCharts. If you want to use TradingView, that connects through Tradovate, so it is supported. Q: Does the $300K Funded account count toward the 5 funded account limit? A: It depends on your version. V2 300K funded accounts are held on top of the standard 5 funded accounts, so with three of them you can hold up to 8 sim funded accounts in total. V1 300K funded accounts are included in the maximum of 5. Q: Why do I have to complete KYC before buying? A: Identity verification is mandatory before purchase on the 300K account. This is different from the other Select sizes, where verification is completed after you pass and before your funded account is activated. Your 300K purchase cannot be finalized until KYC is approved. See the KYC and AML Policy for what is required. Q: Can I reset a 300K evaluation? A: No. Resets are not available on the 300K at any stage. If your evaluation fails you would need to purchase a new one. This is the main structural difference from the smaller Select sizes, which allow up to 10 resets per 30-day period. Q: Does buying a 300K account use up my monthly Select evaluation allowance? A: No. Select 300K purchases do not count toward the limit of 15 evaluations per 30-day period. Q: How many 300K accounts can I have? A: A maximum of 3 per user. Q: Can I pass the 300K evaluation in one day? A: No. The 40% consistency rule means a minimum of 3 trading days, even if you reach the $14,000 profit target earlier. This applies on both versions. Q: Does the consistency rule apply once I am funded? A: No. The 40% consistency requirement applies during the evaluation only. It is removed on both the Flex and Daily funded paths. Q: Is the 300K drawdown intraday or end of day? A: Both, in different ways. The drawdown level only updates at the end of the day, so an intraday loss that you recover from does not pull the level up behind you. The level itself is enforced in real time: if your net liquidation value touches it at any moment during the session, the account fails immediately, even if you close the day green. This is the same on V1 and V2 and on both the Flex and Daily paths. Q: Why do I start with 3 contracts when the account allows 16? A: All Select funded accounts begin with reduced limits and scale up as the account grows. The full 16 mini / 160 micro limit becomes available once your End of Day profit reaches $7,000. Q: What is the buffer on the Daily path? A: On V2 the buffer is $6,100, so you cannot withdraw profits that would bring your balance below $306,100. On V1 the buffer is $5,100. Profits above the buffer are eligible for withdrawal, subject to the daily cap for your version ($4,000 on V2, $3,500 on V1) and the new-profit rule. Q: Can I switch between Flex and Daily after choosing? A: No. The choice is permanent for that funded account. If you want the other path you would need to pass a separate 300K evaluation and choose the alternative. Q: Can I hold a 300K account alongside my other Select, Growth, or Lightning accounts? A: Yes. On V2 the 300K funded accounts sit on top of your standard funded account limit, up to 8 sim funded accounts in total, and still capped at 3 on the 300K size. On V1 the 300K funded account counts toward the standard limit of 5. Q: Are there any ongoing fees after I pass? A: No. Once you pass and activate your funded account there are no ongoing fees and no activation fee. Getting Started To purchase a Select 300K account: Log into your Tradeify dashboard and check that the 300K size is still in stock Complete identity verification if you have not already done so. Navigate to the account purchase section and choose Select Evaluation. Select the 300K size and the preferred platform. Complete the purchase and start trading immediately. All new 300K purchases are V2 accounts. After passing, choose between Select Flex and Select Daily. Note: You do not choose your payout policy until after you pass the evaluation. Everyone completes the same evaluation first. For questions about the Select 300K account or assistance with your account, contact our support team through the chat widget in your dashboard.

Tradeify offers GROWTH™ evaluation accounts in sizes of $25k, $50k, $100k and $150k. How GROWTH™ differs from SELECT™ evaluation GROWTH™ evaluation is NOT the same as SELECT™ evaluation. Here are the key differences: Feature Growth Evaluation SELECT Evaluation Minimum Trading Days 1 day (can pass immediately) 3 days (due to consistency rule) Consistency Rule None Yes - 40% (no single day > 40% of profit) Daily Loss Limit Yes (soft breach) None during evaluation Payout Policy Fixed policy (no choice) Choose AFTER passing (Flex or Daily) In summary: GROWTH™ evaluation is the fastest way to get funded. You can pass in just 1 trading day because there is NO consistency requirement. However, GROWTH™ has a Daily Loss Limit (soft breach) that you must respect. SELECT™ takes longer (minimum 3 days) but gives you more intraday flexibility with no daily loss limit. GROWTH™ evaluation rules The rules for GROWTH™ evaluation are stated in the table below. Account Size Profit Target Daily Loss Limit (Soft Breach) Trailing Max Drawdown Max Position Size $25k $1,500 $600 $1,000 1 Contract (10 Micros) $50k $3,000 $1,250 $2,000 4 Contracts (40 Micros) $100k $6,000 $2,500 $3,500 8 Contracts (80 Micros) $150k $9,000 $3,750 $5,000 12 Contracts (120 Micros) Note: Position Size for accounts purchased before September 12, 2025 at 8:00 AM EST Account Size Position Size 50k 5 Contracts (50 Micros) 100k 10 contracts (100 Micros) 150k 15 contracts (150 Micros) The GROWTH™ evaluation uses an End of Day Trailing Max Drawdown, which is based on the account balance at the end of the trading day. For more information on this type of drawdown, see our full article here . GROWTH™ evaluation accounts offer more flexibility during the trading day, because intraday swings don't move the drawdown level. It only updates at the end of the day. The level is still enforced in real time: if your net liquidation value touches it at any moment, the account fails immediately, even if you recover before the close. There is no activation fee for GROWTH™ Simulated Funded accounts, and the Simulated Funded counterpart cannot be reset. Billing & Purchase Model GROWTH™ evaluation accounts are a one-time purchase . There are no recurring subscription charges. Passing the Evaluation / Activations There is no time activation fee. If you pass a GROWTH™ evaluation, your account information will update and you can activate instantly. Daily activation limit: You can activate a maximum of 5 GROWTH™ Funded accounts per day. The limit resets every 24 hours (UTC). Additional qualified accounts must wait until the next day. You cannot have more than 5 sim funded accounts active at any time. Reset Credits Using a Reset Credit does not affect your account timeline. Your account remains active from the original purchase date. For more information on the payout policies for GROWTH™ Sim Funded accounts click here . Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does GROWTH™ evaluation have a consistency rule? A: No. GROWTH™ evaluation does NOT have a consistency requirement. You can pass in as few as 1 trading day by hitting the profit target. SELECT™ evaluation requires 40% consistency and takes a minimum of 3 trading days. Q: Does GROWTH™ evaluation have a Daily Loss Limit? A: Yes. GROWTH™ evaluation DOES have a Daily Loss Limit (soft breach): $600 (25K), $1,250 (50K), $2,500 (100K), $3,750 (150K). If you hit it, trading stops for the day but your account is not failed. SELECT™ evaluation has NO daily loss limit during the evaluation phase. Q: Can I pass GROWTH™ evaluation in one day? A: Yes. Because there is no consistency requirement, you can pass in 1 trading day. Hit the profit target while staying within the drawdown and daily loss limits. SELECT™ requires a minimum of 3 trading days due to its 40% consistency rule. Q: What's the difference between GROWTH™ and SELECT™ evaluation? A: (1) GROWTH™ can pass in 1 day with no consistency rule, while SELECT™ requires 3+ days due to 40% consistency. (2) GROWTH™ HAS a daily loss limit (soft breach), while SELECT™ has NO daily loss limit during evaluation. (3) GROWTH™ has a fixed payout policy, while SELECT™ lets you choose Flex or Daily AFTER passing. See the comparison table at the top of this article. Q: Can I choose my payout policy on GROWTH™ like I can with SELECT™? A: No. GROWTH™ accounts use a fixed payout structure. With SELECT™, you choose Flex (5-Day) or Daily payouts after passing. If you want that choice, consider SELECT™ evaluation instead. Q: Is there a time limit to complete GROWTH™ evaluation? A: No. Your account stays active as long as you keep it active and don't breach the trailing drawdown. Take as long as you need to hit the profit target. The same applies to SELECT™ evaluation.

Once you have met all activation objectives, you can activate your funded account immediately. Simply go to your dashboard, find your account card, and select the Activate Account button. There are no activation fees and no waiting period — activation is instant once your objectives are met. Funded Account Starting Balance Your funded account starts at your base account size ($50K, $100K, or $150K) regardless of your evaluation ending balance. Important: Profits earned during evaluation do NOT carry over to your funded account. Example: If you end your evaluation at $53,200, your funded account will still start at $50,000 (your base account size). Activation Fees Activation fees vary by account type: Growth: No activation fee Select: No activation fee Advanced (legacy): $125 Lightning: One-time purchase, no activation fee

If you break a rule and fail an Evaluation, you can reset your account at any time. 1- Click the "Reset" button on the failed account card. 2- After clicking "Reset", a new pop up will appear where you'll be able to Reset the account with Direct Payment (Only Option). 3- After clicking Submit, a new account with new account numbers will be created on your dashboard. It will have the same account type and settings as your previous account. Reset FAQs Q: Why don't I see a Reset button on my account? A: The most common reason is that your account has expired. Purchase a new account from the dashboard if you'd like to continue trading. Other reasons include: your account is a Lightning Funded or Sim Funded account (which don't have reset options), or your account is still active and hasn't actually failed yet. Q: How long does a reset last? A: All Evaluation accounts are one-time purchases. After resetting, your new account remains active until you either pass the Evaluation or fail again. There are no recurring fees or renewal dates. Q: Can I get my balance restored after a loss? A: Balance restorations are only provided for confirmed platform-wide incidents affecting many users, such as server outages. Losses from normal trading, market volatility, or exchange-level events (like CME halts) are not eligible for restoration. Q: Can I get a free reset? A: Free resets are only available through TradeifyTV giveaways. They cannot be requested or given as accommodations, even for loyal clients or those who have received prior accommodations. This policy ensures fairness for all traders. Q: Can I use a promo code for resets? A: No, promo codes and discount codes do not apply to reset purchases. Reset fees have fixed pricing and cannot be discounted. Q: Do reset credits expire? A: No, reset credits do not expire. This includes courtesy reset credits. You can save them for future use. All sales are final per our Terms of Service. Important Notes There is no reset option for Lightning Funded or Sim Funded accounts. If you fail these accounts, the failure is permanent and you will need to purchase a new account to continue trading. Resets are only available for Evaluation accounts (Growth and Select Evaluations).

Every Tradeify account includes free Level 1 (L1) CME Group market data , no matter which broker you select at checkout. Level 2 (L2) depth of market data and EUREX data are optional paid add-ons. ⚠️ Important: L2 and EUREX are available on Tradovate accounts only Tradovate accounts (including NinjaTrader and TradingView) — L2 and EUREX can be purchased directly from Tradovate. Rithmic accounts (Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart, R|Trader) — Level 1 CME data only. L2 and EUREX are not yet available and cannot be purchased. Support is coming soon. WealthCharts accounts — Level 1 CME data only. L2 and EUREX are not yet available and cannot be purchased. Support is coming soon. What's included with every account All Tradeify accounts include free Level 1 CME Group market data (CBOT, CME, COMEX, NYMEX). Level 1 gives you real-time best bid, best ask, and last traded price for every instrument you can trade. You must sign the Non-Professional Data Agreement on your first login or your market data will be delayed. Tradovate: how to add L2 or EUREX If you have a Tradovate-based account and you'd like to add Level 2 (L2) data or EUREX access, follow the steps below. 1. Login into Tradovate 2. Click on Account Settings in your Tradovate account. 3. Select Subscriptions from the menu. 4. Click " Update Subscription " at the bottom. 5. Click on Depth of Market (Level 2) or EUREX (scroll lower) then Click Update. Important Note: You will be billed directly by Tradovate. Rithmic-based platforms: Level 1 CME only This applies to Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart, and R|Trader — every platform that uses your Rithmic credentials. Rithmic accounts include free Level 1 CME Group data. Level 2 depth data and EUREX data are not yet available on Rithmic accounts, and they cannot be purchased from Tradeify, from Rithmic, or from the platform itself. Support is coming soon. These platforms all include a DOM (Depth of Market) window. The DOM works on Level 1 data — it shows the best bid and best ask along with your own working orders, and it functions as a price ladder for order entry. A working DOM does not mean you have Level 2 data. WealthCharts: Level 1 CME only WealthCharts accounts include free Level 1 CME Group data. Level 2 depth data and EUREX data are not yet available on WealthCharts accounts, and they cannot be purchased. Support is coming soon. The WealthCharts Trading DOM works on Level 1 data in the same way described above. Frequently Asked Questions Why does my DOM still show bid and ask prices? The DOM works on Level 1 data. It shows the best bid, the best ask, and your own working orders, and it lets you place and move orders on a price ladder. Level 2 adds the full order book behind those top-of-book prices. A DOM that loads and trades normally is working as intended on Level 1. Can I buy L2 or EUREX for my Rithmic or WealthCharts account? No. These add-ons are not yet available on Rithmic or WealthCharts accounts and there is no way to purchase them today — not from Tradeify, not from the broker, and not inside the platform. Support is coming soon. When will L2 and EUREX be available on Rithmic and WealthCharts? Coming soon. We don't have a date to share yet. Announcements go out in Discord and this article is updated when anything changes. Can I switch to Tradovate to get L2 or EUREX now? You cannot switch between brokers (e.g., from Rithmic to Tradovate) without purchasing a new account. See Supported Platforms for what each broker includes. Can I get a refund because L2 or EUREX isn't available on my platform? No. Tradeify does not offer refunds. By completing your purchase, you agreed to our Terms of Service which states all sales are final. This applies to all accounts regardless of whether they have been traded on.

A "Lightning Funded" account allows traders to skip the typical evaluation phases and begin trading simulated funds immediately. This gives Tradeify traders direct access to a simulated funded account with the potential to start earning profits towards their payout from day one. Tradeify offers Lightning Funded account sizes of $25k, $50k, $100k & $150k. The rules for the Lightning Funded are stated in the table below: Current Position Limits (September 2025+) Account Size Trading Days to Payout Daily Loss Limit (Soft Breach) Trailing Max Drawdown Max Position Size $25k None None $1,000 1 Contract(10 Micros) $50k None $1,250 $2,000 4 Contracts (40 Micros) $100k None $2,500 $4,000 8 Contracts (80 Micros) $150k None $3,000 $5,250 12 Contracts (120 Micros) Please note : the Daily Loss Limit for 150k Lightning funded purchases made before March 31st is $3,750. ⚠️ Important: Accounts purchased before the new dashboard launch retain their original parameters, including on reset. Instant Payouts: Lightning Funded traders can now instantly request payouts directly from the dashboard once the consistency rule and profit objective are met. Legacy Position Limits (Pre-September 2025) The following limits apply ONLY to accounts purchased before September 12, 2025 at 8:00 AM EST. Most accounts use the current limits above. Account Size Legacy Position Size 50k 5 Contracts (50 Micros) 100k 10 Contracts (100 Micros) 150k 15 Contracts (150 Micros) Legacy 150K Risk Parameters (Pre-Dashboard Launch) 150K Lightning Funded accounts purchased before the new dashboard launch retain the following risk parameters, including on reset: Account Size Daily Loss Limit (Soft Breach) Trailing Max Drawdown $150k $3,750 $6,000 For complete profit targets to achieve payouts on these accounts see here . Lightning Funded Accounts use an End of Day Trailing Max Drawdown, which is calculated and based on the account balance at the end of the trading day. For more information on this type of drawdown, see our full article here . This offers more flexibility during the trading day, because intraday fluctuations do not move the drawdown level - it only updates at the end of the day. The level itself is still enforced in real time: if your net liquidation value touches it at any moment during the day, the account fails immediately, even if you recover before the close. For these accounts, we've implemented a progressive Consistency Rule that starts at 20% for your first payout and gradually increases to ensure sustained performance. This graduated approach helps us identify traders committed to long-term success and continuous improvement, rather than those relying on short-term, high-risk strategies. As you advance through multiple payouts, the increasing consistency requirements demonstrate your ability to maintain steady and reliable performance over time. By maintaining consistent trading habits, traders can better manage risk and achieve sustainable growth—aligning with our goal of fostering a stable and profitable trading environment Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the maximum position size for my 50K Lightning account? A: For accounts purchased after September 12, 2025: 4 mini contracts OR 40 micro contracts . Legacy accounts purchased before that date have 5 minis / 50 micros. Q: Can I hold both mini and micro contracts at the same time? A: Yes. Minis and micros may now be held at the same time, as long as your combined position stays within your contract limit (10 micros = 1 mini). Holding them in opposing directions on the same or a correlated product is still a hedging violation. See Rules: Hedging & Correlated Products for details.

The Consistency Rule requires traders to show steady performance before requesting a payout. Specifically, no single day's profit (commissions are not included in profit) should exceed a set percentage of the trader's total profits over a given period. This means your biggest day's profit must be at or below this percentage of your total profits. If your biggest day exceeds the percentage limit, you do not meet the consistency requirement yet and will need to continue trading smaller profitable days before requesting a payout. Any percentage at or below your limit meets the rule - 19.97% meets a 20% rule, and exactly 20.00% meets it too. Only a figure strictly above your limit fails. This encourages disciplined and steady trading behavior. Growth Sim Funded Accounts must follow a 35% Consistency Rule. Select Evaluation Accounts must follow a 40% Consistency Rule during the evaluation phase only. There is no consistency rule for Select accounts in funded mode. Lightning Funded Accounts purchased after September 12, 2025, at 8:00 AM EST must follow a gradual Consistency Rule: First payout: 20% Second payout: 25% Third and subsequent payouts: 30% Lightning Funded Accounts purchased before September 12, 2025, at 8:00 AM EST maintain the original 20% Consistency Rule for all payouts, without scaling. To calculate the balance required to meet the Consistency Rule, use the following formula: Biggest End of Day PnL / Consistency % = Total Balance Needed For example, if your biggest day's profit is $1,000 and you must follow the 20% rule, the required total balance would be: $1,000 / 0.20 = $5,000. Another example: if your biggest day's profit is $2,682.10 , the required total balance would be: $2,682.10 / 0.20 = $13,410.50 Here's a sample chart using the same 20% rule, showing when an account is in line with the rule (green) and when it is not (red): Why is the Consistency Rule Important? Implementing the Consistency Rule is crucial for several reasons: Risk Management : It prevents traders from relying on a few high-risk trades to achieve overall profitability. Performance Stability : The rule encourages consistent performance, reducing the likelihood of erratic profit spikes. Discipline : It ensures traders maintain a steady approach and avoid taking excessive risks in pursuit of quick profits. How Does the Consistency Rule Work? No single trading day's profit should exceed the consistency percentage for your account type ( 40% for Select Evaluation, 35% for Growth, or 20-30% for Lightning Funded) of the total profits accumulated from the first day of trading up to the payout request date. To remain compliant with the 20% rule for Lightning Funded accounts, calculate using this method: Highest end-of-day profit / 0.20 = Total profits required to meet the 20% consistency rule. For example, if your total profit is $10,000 , your biggest single-day profit must not exceed $2,000 ($10,000 x 20% = $2,000). After an approved payout, the consistency % will reset and you will need to maintain consistency % for the period up to the next approved payout request. More Examples of the Consistency Rule in Action Here's another example to illustrate how the Consistency Rule is applied: A trader has been trading for 10 days in their Growth Sim Funded account, which follows a 35% Consistency Rule. Total profits over the 10 days: $10,000 . Highest single-day profit: $4,000 (which is 40% of the total profits). Since 40% exceeds the 35% limit, the trader does not meet the consistency requirement yet and is not eligible for a payout. The trader must continue trading until the highest single-day profit is less than or equal to 35% of the total profits. If, on day 11, the trader makes an additional $1,500 in profits: The trader has now traded for 11 days. Total profits: $11,500 . Highest single-day profit: $4,000 (which is now 34.7% of the total). At this point, the trader is eligible to request a payout, as their highest profit no longer exceeds the 35% limit. For Lightning Funded accounts, if your highest single-day profit is $643.34 , calculate the required total profit to meet compliance as: $643.34 / 0.20 = $3,216.70 If your current profits are $2,570.14 , you need to add $646.56 in additional small profit days while ensuring no single day exceeds $643.34 . Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why does my dashboard show 100% consistency when I've had multiple profitable days? A: Your consistency percentage now updates in real-time on the dashboard as you trade - there is no longer any end-of-day delay. The percentage reflects your largest single day's profit as a share of your total profit. If it reads 100%, all of your profit so far has come from one trading day; it will adjust automatically as you build profit on other days. The only dashboard figure that still updates once per day, at the end of each trading day, is your Trailing Max Drawdown. Q: When do consistency stats update? A: Consistency updates in real-time as you trade. Every dashboard metric - balance, profit, daily loss limit, and consistency - now updates in real-time. The only exception is your Trailing Max Drawdown, which updates once per day at the end of each trading day. Q: Do losing days affect my consistency percentage? A: Yes, losing days can hurt your consistency percentage. The formula is: (Your biggest profitable day) / (Total profits). Losing days reduce your total profits (the denominator), which makes your consistency percentage go up. For example, if your biggest day was $1,000 and your total profit was $1,500 (66.7% consistency), a $300 losing day would drop your total to $1,200, pushing your consistency to 83.3% (worse). To improve consistency, you need profitable days that increase the denominator without exceeding your current biggest day. Q: Can I meet the consistency requirement with just one profitable day? A: No. If you have only one profitable day, that day represents 100% of your total profits. Since 100% exceeds all consistency thresholds (20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%), you'll need multiple profitable days to meet the requirement. For example, with a 20% rule, you need at least 5 profitable days of roughly equal size to bring your biggest day down to 20% or less of total profits. Q: Can I keep trading if my consistency percentage is over the limit (20%, 35%, or 40%)? A: Yes! The consistency rule only determines when you can request a payout - it does NOT restrict your trading in any way. You can make any amount of profit on any day. If you have a big profitable day, you simply need more total profit (spread across future days) before you're eligible to request a payout. Your account will not fail or be penalized for having high consistency - just keep trading profitable days to bring the percentage down. For smooth progress toward payout, aim for consistent daily profits based on your account size and profit goal. Q: My consistency shows 19.97% and my limit is 20% - do I qualify? A: Yes. The requirement is that your biggest single day is at or below your limit, so 19.97% meets a 20% rule (and exactly 20.00% meets it too). Only a percentage above your limit fails. Meeting consistency does not release a payout on its own - your profit goal / minimum balance, minimum profitable trading days (5 for Growth), the 10-second rule, and the maximum payout cap for that payout number all still apply.

Daily Loss Limit (DLL) Summary: The Daily Loss Limit pauses your trading for the day when you reach a specified loss threshold. Unlike the Max Trailing Drawdown, hitting the DLL does NOT fail your account - you can resume trading the next session. Applies to: Growth, Lightning, and Select Daily Funded accounts. Select Flex accounts do not have a DLL. Critical Warning NEVER use the DLL as a stop loss. The DLL is not a hard stop - losses may exceed the limit before the system triggers protection. Using the DLL as a stop loss strategy in volatile markets may cause slippage that breaches your Max Trailing Drawdown, which WILL fail your account. Tradeify is not responsible for losses if you rely on the DLL as your stop. How the DLL Works The Daily Loss Limit is a "soft breach" - it pauses trading for the day but does NOT fail your account: When your daily losses reach the DLL, trading is paused You can resume trading the NEXT market session (after 6:00 PM ET) Your account remains active as long as you haven't hit the Max Trailing Drawdown DLL vs Max Trailing Drawdown These are two separate risk limits that work differently: Daily Loss Limit (DLL): Resets each trading day. Hitting it pauses trading until next session. Soft breach - account stays active. Max Trailing Drawdown: Tracks your highest balance. Hitting it FAILS your account permanently. Hard breach. Important: If your Max Trailing Drawdown is closer than your DLL, you could hit the drawdown first and fail your account before the DLL triggers. Initial DLL Amounts When you start a Growth, Lightning, or Select Daily Funded account, your DLL is: Account Size Lightning DLL Growth Select Daily DLL 25K N/A $600 $500 50K $1,250 $1,250 $1,000 100K $2,500 $2,500 $1,250 150K $3,000 $3,750 $1,750 DLL Increases at 6% Profit When your account reaches 6% profit (balance reaches the threshold below), your DLL increases to match your drawdown amount. This larger DLL takes effect the NEXT trading session, not immediately. Account Balance Required Lightning DLL Becomes Growth DLL Becomes 25K $26,500 N/A $1,000 50K $53,000 $2,000 $2,000 100K $106,000 $4,000 $3,500 150K $159,000 $5,250 $5,000 Legacy Accounts (Purchased Before September 12, 2025) If your account was purchased before September 12, 2025 at 8:00 AM EST, you have the legacy DLL rules. When you reach the 6% profit threshold, your DLL is completely REMOVED (not just increased). Example Scenario Starting a 100K Growth account: Starting balance: $100,000 Daily Loss Limit: $2,500 Max Trailing Drawdown: $3,500 from high water mark If you lose $2,500 in one day, the DLL triggers and trading pauses. You can trade again tomorrow. Warning: If your high water mark is $101,000 and current balance is $99,000, your drawdown is only $2,000 away. Losing $2,500 would hit the drawdown BEFORE the DLL, failing your account. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Do Select accounts have a DLL? A: It depends on your payout policy. Select Daily funded accounts have a DLL ($500 for 25K, $1,000 for 50K, $1,250 for 100K, $1,750 for 150K). Select Flex (5-Day) funded accounts do not have a DLL - only the Max Trailing Drawdown applies. Q: Does the DLL reset each day? A: Yes. The DLL resets at the start of each trading session (6:00 PM ET). Yesterday's losses don't count toward today's limit. Q: When does the increased DLL take effect? A: When you reach the 6% profit threshold, your new DLL takes effect the NEXT trading session - not immediately. If you reach $53,000 on a 50K account during Monday's session, the increased DLL applies starting Monday evening at 6:00 PM ET. Q: Can I still fail my account if I hit the DLL? A: Hitting the DLL alone does not fail your account. However, if your Max Trailing Drawdown is closer than your DLL, you could breach the drawdown first, which DOES fail your account. Q: What's the difference between legacy and new DLL rules? A: For accounts purchased before September 12, 2025, the DLL is completely removed at 6% profit. For accounts purchased after, the DLL is increased (to $1,000/$2,000/$3,500-4,000/$5,000-5,250 for 25K/50K/100K/150K) but not removed.

Tradeify prohibits hedging. You cannot hold opposing positions — one long, one short — on the same instrument or on two products from the same Product Group, whether those positions sit in a single account or are spread across several of your accounts. Applies to: All Tradeify account types (Evaluation, Sim Funded, and Elite Live) ⚠️ Important: Hedging Across Multiple Accounts Is a Violation Holding a long position on one account and a short position on another account is a hedging violation. It does not matter whether the accounts are Evaluation or funded, and it does not matter whether one leg is a mini and the other a micro. Long ES on Account A + Short ES on Account B = VIOLATION (same instrument) Long ES on Account A + Short NQ on Account B = VIOLATION (both are Equity Index products) Long MES on Account A + Short NQ on Account B = VIOLATION (contract size is irrelevant) A hedging violation results in every account involved being set to violation status, forfeiture of any profits generated during the period of the violating activity, and possibly a permanent ban from Tradeify. Why This Rule Exists Tradeify funds disciplined, consistent traders who demonstrate sustainable strategies. Hedging masks real risk exposure and makes it impossible to evaluate genuine trading skill. Spreading the two sides of a hedge across separate accounts is the same behaviour with an extra step — one account books a profit while the other absorbs the loss, and neither result reflects a tradable edge. These rules keep real-world capital risk accurately reflected, so that funding decisions and payouts are based on performance rather than on offsetting positions. What Counts as Hedging A hedging violation occurs when you hold opposing positions at the same time in any of the following ways: Same instrument: Long ES and Short ES held at the same time. Same Product Group: Long ES and Short NQ. Both are Equity Index products, so opposing directions across them is a hedge. Any contract size: Long MES and Short NQ. A mini leg and a micro leg still form a hedge — size does not exempt the position. Across accounts: Any of the above, with each leg held on a different account under your control. Product Groups Every product Tradeify supports belongs to a Product Group. Holding a long position in one product and a short position in another product from the same Product Group at the same time is a hedging violation, in one account or across any of your accounts. Product Group Symbols Equity Index ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, YM, MYM, RTY, M2K, EMD, NKD, FDAX, FDXM, FDXS, FESX, FSXE, FXXP Energy CL, QM, MCL, NG, QG Metals GC, QO, MGC, SI, HG, PL, PA Currencies 6E, M6E, 6B, 6J, 6A, M6A, 6C, 6S Interest Rates FGBL, FGBM, FGBS, FGBX Grains ZS, ZL, ZM, ZC, ZW Livestock HE, LE, GF Volatility FVS Mini and micro versions of a product always belong to the same Product Group. ES and MES are the same product for the purposes of this rule, as are NQ and MNQ, GC and MGC, and every other mini/micro pair. Volatility products move inversely to equities, so holding a long Equity Index position and a long Volatility position at the same time is also treated as offsetting. This list is not exhaustive — Tradeify may treat any other position it determines to be offsetting as a hedge. What IS Allowed The deciding factors are direction and Product Group — not contract size. These are all permitted: Long ES + Long NQ = ALLOWED (same direction) Long ES + Long MNQ = ALLOWED (same direction, mini and micro may now be held together) Long MES + Long MNQ = ALLOWED (same direction) Long ES + Short CL = ALLOWED (opposing directions, but Equity Index and Energy are different Product Groups) Long GC + Short ZC = ALLOWED (Metals and Grains are different Product Groups) Long ES on Account A + Long ES on Account B = ALLOWED (same direction across accounts — this is how copy trading works) You can trade the same markets on more than one account. What is prohibited is holding them in opposite directions at the same time. Trading Minis and Micros Together Minis and micros may now be held at the same time. Tradeify previously prohibited holding MINI and MICRO contracts simultaneously, because the platform allowed traders to exceed their contract limit by combining the two. That gap has been closed by broker-side contract fungibility, so the standalone restriction no longer applies. Two things still apply: Your combined position must stay within your account's contract limit, counted at 10 micros = 1 mini. A mini and a micro held in opposing directions on the same or a correlated product is still a hedging violation. Long MES + Short NQ is prohibited — not because of contract size, but because it is a hedge. Multiple Accounts This rule applies across ALL accounts under your control, not just within a single account. Our monitoring systems track positions across every account linked to the same trader. You cannot: Go long on one account and short on another account on the same instrument Go long on one account and short on another account on a different product from the same Product Group Use a mini on one account and a micro on another to disguise an opposing position Use multiple accounts, or accounts held by other people at your direction, to circumvent this rule Violations can also occur when activity in a failed account overlaps with an active one. Trading in a failed account while an active account holds an opposing position can trigger the hedging alert. If you trade more than one account, flatten positions in one account before opening an opposing position in another. Confirm your symbols before entering, and check that all accounts are flat before starting a new session. Consequences of Violations Violations are detected automatically and reviewed by our risk team. Consequences may include: Disqualification (for Evaluation accounts) Payout denial Account set to violation status All involved accounts set to violation status, for cross-account violations Forfeiture of profits generated during the period of the violating activity Permanent ban from Tradeify, for deliberate or repeated violations Automated Hedging Detection All Tradeify accounts have automated hedging detection — Evaluation, Sim Funded, and Elite Live. An account is breached by this automated check only if all three of the following conditions are met simultaneously: Opposing positions exist (hedging behaviour) The hedge duration exceeds 10 seconds Profit generated from the hedge exceeds $150 The 10-second window exists so that a trader who opens an opposing position by mistake can close it without penalty. It is not an allowance to hold a hedge briefly on purpose. Cross-account hedging and hedging across correlated products are monitored separately and reviewed by our risk team. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can I go long ES on one account and short NQ on another? A: No. ES and NQ are both Equity Index products, so holding them in opposite directions is a hedging violation — even when the two positions sit on separate accounts. Q: Can I hold minis and micros at the same time? A: Yes. This is now allowed, as long as your combined position stays within your contract limit (10 micros = 1 mini) and the two positions are not in opposing directions on the same or a correlated product. Q: I have multiple accounts. Do these rules apply across all of them? A: Yes. Hedging rules apply across ALL accounts under your control. Our systems monitor positions across every account linked to you. Q: Can I trade the same instrument on more than one account? A: Yes, as long as the positions are in the same direction. Copy trading is permitted. What is prohibited is holding the same or a correlated product in opposite directions at the same time. Q: How do I know whether two products are correlated? A: Check the Product Groups table above. If both products appear in the same group, opposing positions across them are prohibited. Q: What happens if I accidentally violate these rules? A: Violations are detected automatically and reviewed by our risk team. Close the opposing position as soon as you notice it. If you believe a violation was caused by a platform error, contact support immediately.

Our Policy We do not have any rules against or guidelines around trading news events. Free reign, but beware of volatility and how it can affect your account. Important Warnings You trade news AT YOUR OWN RISK. Beware of slippage - Orders may execute far from expected prices NEVER use the Daily Loss Limit as a stop loss - System protection may not be effective during extreme volatility News events can cause rapid price movements, wider spreads, and unpredictable market behavior that may impact your trading results. Keep in mind the Microscalping rule on funded accounts: over 50% of your trades must be longer than 10 seconds AND over 50% of your profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds. It does not apply during an evaluation. If you do not meet the criteria, you will not be able to request a payout.

Permitted Trading Times Summary: All positions must be closed by 4:45 PM Eastern Time each trading day. You cannot hold positions overnight or swing trade. This applies to ALL account types including Live. Applies to: All Tradeify account types (Evaluation, Sim Funded, and Live) Why This Rule Exists Tradeify evaluates traders based on intraday trading performance. Overnight positions carry additional market risk that cannot be managed during closed hours. This rule ensures consistent risk management across all accounts. Trading Hours A Tradeify trading day follows CME futures market hours: Market opens: 6:00 PM Eastern Time (Sunday through Thursday) Market closes: 5:00 PM Eastern Time (Monday through Friday) Daily maintenance break: 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time Position Closing Deadline All positions must be closed by 4:45 PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday, before the daily maintenance break. Regular days: Close all positions by 4:45 PM ET Holiday shortened days: Close all positions by 12:59 PM ET Important: Holiday market hours are announced in our Discord server. Check before trading on holidays. What Happens If Positions Are Open at Close If you have open positions when the market closes, Tradeify will automatically close them for you. This automatic closure will NOT result in account failure or loss of your account. However, you may experience slippage or unfavorable fills. No Overnight or Swing Trading You cannot hold positions overnight or across multiple trading days. Each trading day is independent: Enter and exit all trades within the same trading day Close all positions before 4:45 PM ET Start fresh when the market reopens at 6:00 PM ET Understanding Trading Days A trading day at Tradeify spans from 6:00 PM ET to 5:00 PM ET the next calendar day. This is important for counting trading days: Trades placed at 1:00 AM Tuesday and 7:00 PM Tuesday count as two separate trading days The 1:00 AM trade is part of the Monday-Tuesday session (started 6 PM Monday) The 7:00 PM trade is part of the Tuesday-Wednesday session (started 6 PM Tuesday) Holiday trading days count as independent trading days, even with shortened hours Rithmic accounts and holiday half-days: On the Rithmic broker, holiday half-day (shortened) sessions are recorded at the next full market close. The day still counts as a trading day, but the credit (and any payout based on it) may not post until the following full session closes. For example, a Friday holiday half-day is recorded at the following Monday's market close. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What time zone does Tradeify use? A: Eastern Time (ET). This is Eastern Standard Time (EST) in winter and Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) in summer. Q: Can I hold positions through the 5-6 PM maintenance break? A: No. All positions must be closed by 4:45 PM ET before the maintenance break. Q: Will my account fail if I forget to close positions? A: No. Tradeify will automatically close any open positions at market close. This does not fail your account, but you may experience unfavorable fills. Q: Does this rule apply to Live accounts? A: Yes. The no overnight positions rule applies to ALL Tradeify account types, including Live accounts. Q: How do I know if a holiday has shortened hours? A: Holiday market hour announcements are always posted in our Discord server. On shortened days, you must close all positions by 12:59 PM ET. Q: I traded on Rithmic during a holiday half-day. Why can't I request a payout yet? A: The day still counts as a trading day, but Rithmic records holiday half-day sessions at the next full market close. Your payout becomes available once that session is recorded. For a Friday holiday half-day, that is the following Monday's market close. Q: Can I stay positioned overnight? A: Yes, within a single trading session. A Tradeify trading session runs from 6:00 PM ET to 4:45 PM ET the next calendar day - that's nearly 23 hours. You can hold a position for the entire session. For example, opening a position at 8:00 PM Monday and closing it at 2:00 PM Tuesday is perfectly fine - that's one continuous session. What you cannot do: Hold through the daily close (positions must be closed by 4:45 PM ET) Hold through the maintenance window (5:00 PM - 6:00 PM ET) Hold over the weekend (Friday close to Sunday open) Q: Can I hold positions over the weekend? A: No. All positions must be closed before Friday's market close (4:45 PM ET). You cannot carry positions from Friday into the Sunday evening session.
