03Our take

Tradeify earned the #2 spot by making funded futures cheap and predictable. A $59 door into a 25K account, end-of-day drawdown on every single plan, one-time fees, and $250M+ in verified payouts with a claimed 0% denial rate. That combination is hard to argue with, and Lightning is the original sustainable direct-funded product, still the cleanest way to skip the eval entirely. Payouts are quick in practice, clear rules on every plan, and the trading tournaments are a fun bonus on top. If price is the priority, start here. Tradeify is one of our favorite futures prop firms. -Jmu

05Plans & pricing

PickAPropFirm Adjusted ROI measures what a plan returns for what it costs: the maximum first payout times the profit split, capped per account size, divided by the plan cost, first payout only. Tradeify’s best across all sizes is 22.7x. Compare Adjusted ROI only between plans of the same account size and type. See the full calculation.

PickAPropFirm All-In Cost is the discounted plan price plus any activation fee, in one number. Tradeify charges no activation fee, so the discounted price and the All-In Cost are the same number.

10Frequently asked questions

What is the best Tradeify discount code?
Code JMU gives the maximum discount possible at Tradeify, currently 40% off all accounts (Growth, Select and Lightning). Pricing across PickAPropFirm already reflects it.
What is the difference between Growth, Select and Lightning?
Growth is the cheap eval: from $59 for a 25K, no consistency rule during the eval (35% once funded), with a daily loss limit from $600. Select eval is the fast path to a payout: pass in as little as 3 days with a 40% eval consistency rule, then choose a Daily payout path or a Flex path with no funded consistency at all. Lightning skips the evaluation entirely: you buy straight into a funded account from $207 and payouts unlock as you hit profit goals.
How fast does Tradeify actually pay out?
Tradeify markets “1 hour payouts” and a 0% payout-denial rate, and in practice they deliver: payouts routinely land in about an hour through Rise (their main payout platform, bank transfer or crypto), with Plane available as an alternative. Over $250M+ has been paid out to date.
What does “EOD drawdown everywhere” mean?
Every Tradeify plan uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown: your loss limit trails your end-of-day balance instead of every intraday high. It is one of Tradeify’s biggest selling points versus intraday-trailing firms.
What is the consistency rule?
On payout day, no single trading day can account for more than a set share of your total profit: 35% on funded Growth accounts, and 20% on Lightning (relaxing to 25% after your second payout and 30% from the third). Select has a 40% rule during the eval only. Once funded, Select Daily and Flex have no consistency requirement.
What is Tradeify Elite?
The live-capital path. Three approved payouts on one account (or 10 total) makes you eligible for consideration. Tradeify then selects traders based on consistency and risk management, so eligibility is not automatic and Elite cannot be purchased. Live accounts run an 80/20 split with performance reward pools up to $18K per account, and there is no cap on how many times you can transition to live.
Does Tradeify allow news trading, bots, or copy trading?
News trading is fully allowed. Their policy is literally “free reign,” at your own risk. Copy trading is supported, with official guides for Tradovate order-entry copying and the WealthCharts trade copier. The rule they police is microscalping, and it now applies to funded accounts only: more than 50% of your trades and more than 50% of your profits must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds. Evaluations no longer carry the rule.
How many accounts can I run?
Up to 5 simulated funded accounts at once, in any combination of Growth, Select and Lightning. Each account is treated independently for payouts.
Is Tradeify available in my country?
Tradeify restricts 57 countries plus the Crimea region. The full list is in the Country Availability section above. Restrictions apply to your country of residency, not where you happen to be traveling.
Does Lightning have a minimum number of trading days?
Tradeify does not publish a minimum trading day requirement on Lightning. It does not need to. The 20% consistency rule caps any single day at that share of total profit, so reaching a payout takes at least 5 profitable days no matter how large you size. That is why our table shows 5 minimum days on Lightning: the number is derived from the consistency rule, not stated by the firm.
Which Tradeify plan returns the most for what you pay?
At the 25K size, Select Flex. It costs $65 and carries a PickAPropFirm Adjusted ROI of 17.2x, meaning a capped first payout returns that many times the plan cost. Growth is close behind at $59 and 15.2x, while Lightning sits at 4.3x for $207 because you are paying to skip the evaluation. Compare only within one account size, because payout caps scale with the account.
Select Daily or Select Flex: which funded path should you pick?
At the 25K size, both run the same $65 evaluation, and the choice only matters once you are funded. Select Daily allows a payout request every 1 day with a $600 cap per request. Select Flex pays on 5-day cycles with a $1,250 cap. Both caps rise with account size. Frequency versus ceiling: at 25K the Adjusted ROI reflects it at 8.3x versus 17.2x. If you withdraw often, take Daily; if you let profits build, Flex returns more per dollar.
What is the fastest a Tradeify account can actually pay you?
Select Daily. It requires 3 minimum trading days in the eval, and once funded allows a payout request every 1 day with a $500 minimum. Growth passes faster (1 minimum day) but pays on 5-day cycles. The plan that passes fastest is not the plan that pays fastest.
Why is the Select Flex payout cap higher than Select Daily?
Because the caps trade ceiling for frequency. At 25K, Select Daily caps a request at $600 but lets you ask every 1 day, while Select Flex caps at $1,250 per 5-day cycle. Same account size, same 90% split. If the goal is pulling money out steadily, Daily wins; if it is larger single withdrawals, Flex does.
Is the price on Tradeify’s site the price you actually pay?
Yes. Tradeify charges no activation or funding fee on any plan, so the discounted price and the PickAPropFirm All-In Cost are the same number: $59 for a Growth 25K with code JMU. Most premier firms we track are the same way; where a firm does charge an activation fee at funding, the All-In Cost surfaces it so a cheap looking evaluation cannot hide it.
How much do you have to make before Tradeify lets you withdraw?
It depends which rule binds first. On Growth at 25K the profit target is $1,500 against $1,000 of drawdown room, and once funded the 35% consistency rule shapes when payout day arrives, with a $250 minimum per request. Select paths drop the funded consistency entirely, so the $500 minimum is the only bar.
What is the catch with a $59 Tradeify account?
Nothing. That $59 buys an evaluation, not a funded account. It is Growth at the 25K size, and it is the cheapest because it carries a 35% funded consistency rule and a daily loss limit from $600. Select at $65 drops funded consistency completely but asks for 40% consistency during the eval. The right question is not which plan is cheapest but which rule set you can actually trade.
Does Tradeify’s profit split change?
Not on sim-funded accounts: every plan pays 90% from the first payout, at every account size. The exception is Elite Live, which is a different structure entirely: real live capital at an 80/20 split with performance reward pools, reached by selection rather than purchase.

  Both policies lead to live trading eligibility at the same thresholds, and both use the same contract scaling structure. The primary differences are in payout frequency, withdrawal caps, and risk management requirements.
  ⚠️ Important: Shared Rule for All Subsequent Payouts
- Regardless of whether you choose Select Flex or Select Daily, the following rule applies to all payouts after your first: You must have positive net profit during each payout cycle in order to request a payout. If you lose money after a payout, you must earn back those losses and become net positive for the current cycle before you can request another payout. This applies equally to both Flex and Daily — neither policy allows payouts while your cycle profit is negative.

If you lose money after a payout, you must earn back those losses and become net positive for the current cycle before you can request another payout. This applies equally to both Flex and Daily — neither policy allows payouts while your cycle profit is negative. Only one payout request can be open on an account at a time — you cannot submit a new request until your previous one has been processed (approved and paid, or denied).
  The only differences between the two policies are payout frequency, withdrawal caps/formulas, and risk parameters (buffer, Daily Loss Limit). The loss recovery requirement is identical.
  Select Flex (5-Day Payout Policy)
· · ·
  - Trade until your account balance exceeds the buffer requirement
  - At the end of the session and once your dashboard updates, you will be able to request a payout of your profits above the buffer, up to the payout cap (ensure you meet the Daily Continuity Rule if 2nd payout+).
- - Receive your payout within 24-48 hours.

  The Daily Payout Policy works well for traders who:
· · ·
  Q: Does the Daily Continuity Rule apply to Select Flex (5-Day Policy) as well?
  A: The Daily Continuity Rule (2× profit multiplier and daily payout caps) only applies to Select Daily. However, both policies share the same core requirement: you must have positive net profit during each payout cycle to be eligible for a payout. The difference is only in the withdrawal formula and caps — not in whether you need to recover losses first. Both Daily and Flex require you to earn back any losses from the current cycle before requesting another payout.
+ Q: Can I request another payout while my previous one is still pending or processing?
+ A: No. Only one payout request can be open on an account at a time, on both Select Daily and Select Flex. Wait until your current request has been processed (approved and paid, or denied) — usually 24-48 hours — then request your next payout once you are eligible again. Daily eligibility on Select Daily means you can become eligible again each session, not that requests can overlap.
  Q: If I lose money after a payout, do I have to earn it all back before I can request another payout?
  A: Yes, on both Select Flex and Select Daily. After each payout, your profit tracking resets to zero for the new payout cycle. If you lose money, your cycle profit goes negative. You must trade back to net positive for the current cycle before you are eligible for another payout request. This is true even if your overall account balance is still above the buffer. Example: If you take a payout and then lose $2,000 over the next few days, you need to earn back that $2,000 plus at least $1 more in profit before you can request your next payout — regardless of which payout policy you chose.
