After successfully passing your Tradeify Select evaluation, you'll need to choose between two distinct payout policies for your funded account. This decision is permanent for that account and determines your withdrawal eligibility, payout frequency, and drawdown structure.
This article explains both payout options in detail to help you make an informed choice based on your trading style and goals.
The parameter tables below cover the 25K to 150K sizes. For the Select 300K, see 300K Select Account.
+ ⚠️ 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. 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.
Overview: The Two Options
Think of this choice as selecting your trading path:
- 5-Day Payout Policy (Flex) - Traditional milestone-based payouts with larger caps and no Daily Loss Limit
- Daily Payout Policy (Daily) - Rapid-access payouts with daily eligibility but tighter risk parameters
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.

Select Flex (5-Day Payout Policy)
The 'Select Flex' Payout Policy is designed for traders who prefer accumulating larger profit milestones before requesting withdrawals. This policy offers the most trading flexibility with no Daily Loss Limit and wider drawdown parameters.

Buffer System
The Daily Payout Policy uses a buffer amount that must be exceeded before you can request payouts:
- 25K Account: $1,100 buffer
- 50K Account: $2,100 buffer
- 100K Account: $2,600 buffer
- 150K Account: $3,600 buffer
Section: Buffer System
− Select 300K: $5,100 buffer (balance of $305,100).
+ Select 300K: $6,100 buffer on V2 (balance of $306,100); $5,100 on V1 (balance of $305,100).
You cannot withdraw profits that would bring your account balance below the buffer amount. Profits above the buffer are eligible for withdrawal, up to the payout cap.

Payout Caps
This is the Daily Continuity Rule:
To be eligible for a payout on any day:
Accounts purchased Before Sep 1st, 2026:
- They may request up to 2× the profit earned between each payout request, capped at:
- $600 for a 25K account
- $1,000 for a 50K account
- $1,500 for a 100K account
- $2,500 for a 150K account
Accounts purchased After Sep 1st, 2026:
- They may request up to 2× the profit earned between each payout request, capped at:
- $600 for a 25K account
- $1,250 for a 50K account
- $1,750 for a 100K account
- $2,500 for a 150K account
Section: Accounts purchased After Sep 1st, 2026:
− Select 300K (Daily) works differently: the cap is $3,500 per day, and 50% of each payout must come from new profit earned since your last payout. The 2× multiplier and the per-size caps above do not apply to the 300K — see 300K Select Account.
+ Select 300K (Daily) works differently: the cap is $4,000 per day on V2 ($3,500 on V1), and 50% of each payout must come from new profit earned since your last payout. The 2× multiplier and the per-size caps above do not apply to the 300K — see 300K Select Account.
This cap resets after each payout cycle.
Minimum payout: $250
Example
A trader with a 50K account has a balance of $53,500 and earned $250 in profit since their last payout.
- 2 × $250 = $500
- The trader is able to request a payout of up to $500 as the trader is more than $500 above the buffer.
- After payout approved the balance is set to $53,000
If instead the trader had earned $700:
- 2 × $700 = $1,400
- But the cap for a 50K account is $1,000
(if account is purchased before Sep 1st,2026 then the cap is $1,000 but if purchased after the cap is $1,250)
- So the trader could request up to $1,000 OR $1,250 (depending on when the account was purchased) as the trader is more than $1,000 above the buffer.
After the payout is completed, profit resets to zero and the next cycle begins.
If instead the trader had earned only $100:
- 2 × $100 = $200
- But the minimum payout is $250
- Not eligible yet — the trader needs at least $125 in profit to request the minimum $250 payout
If the trader had negative profit (lost money since last payout):
- Not eligible — must have positive profit since last payout to request
Subsequent Payouts (2nd Payout and Beyond)
For all payouts after your first, you must have positive net profit during each payout cycle in order to request a payout. This simply ensures traders have made at least some amount of money between requests. As long as you have positive net profit for the payout cycle and meet the buffer requirement, you are eligible for payout.
How Daily Payouts Work
- 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+).
Section: How Daily Payouts Work
− - Receive your payout within 24-48 hours. Only one payout request can be open at a time — your next request cannot be submitted until this one has been processed.
+ - Receive your payout, usually within 24 hours once your Rise onboarding is complete (up to 72 hours over a weekend). Only one payout request can be open at a time — your next request cannot be submitted until this one has been processed.
- Continue trading to build additional profits above the buffer
- Request your next payout once you are eligible again and your previous request has been processed
Best For
The Daily Payout Policy works well for traders who:
- Value frequent access to profits
- Trade consistently on a daily basis
- Prefer structured risk management with Daily Loss Limits
- Are comfortable with tighter drawdown parameters
- Want faster cash flow from smaller, regular withdrawals
Contract Scaling Plan (Funded Accounts Only)
Select Funded accounts use a progressive scaling system that increases your contract limits as your account equity grows. Scaling is calibrated at End of Day (EOD), meaning your contract limits update based on your closing balance each trading day.
Important: This scaling plan applies only to funded accounts. During evaluation, you have access to the full contract limits (2/20, 4/40, 8/80, or 12/120 depending on account size).
These eligibility criteria apply across all plan types — Select, Growth, and Lightning. Regardless of which payout policy you choose, your path to live trading follows the same qualification criteria.
For detailed information about the Live Transition process, benefits of Live accounts, and what changes when you transition, please see: Tradeify Elite Program
Important Reminders
- Your choice is permanent - Once you select a payout policy for a funded account, you cannot change it. Choose carefully based on your trading style.
- No refunds or exchanges - If you later decide you prefer the other policy, you'll need to purchase and pass another evaluation.
- Both lead to live trading - Neither policy is "better" than the other. They're designed for different trading styles, but both provide a clear path to live funded trading.
- Scaling is the same - Both policies use identical contract scaling structures as your account equity grows.
- Same max funded accounts - You can hold up to 5 funded accounts total, regardless of which policy or account type you choose across all our funded accounts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I have both policies on different accounts?
A: Yes, if you pass multiple evaluations, you can choose different payout policies for each funded account.
Q: Do I have to choose immediately after passing?
Section: Frequently Asked Questions
− A: You'll be prompted to choose when you activate the account. Take time to review both options before making your selection. Keep in mind that your evaluation purchase gives you a set period to activate. If you don't activate your passed evaluation within the allowed timeframe, you may need to purchase a new evaluation.
+ A: You'll be prompted to choose when you activate the account. Take time to review both options before making your selection. You can bank passed evaluations and activate them later when a funded account slot is free.
Q: Can I test both policies somehow?
A: No, there's no demo or testing option. Review the parameters carefully and choose the policy that best matches your trading approach.
Q: What happens if I breach my funded account?
A: Regardless of policy, a breach means your funded account is terminated. You would need to purchase and pass a new evaluation to receive another funded account.
Q: Does the buffer amount ever change?
A: No, the buffer amounts are fixed for each account size under the Daily Payout Policy and do not change throughout your account lifecycle.
Q: How does the Daily Continuity Rule work?
− A: You must have profit greater than $0 since your last payout. You may then request up to 2× the profit earned since your last payout, capped at $600/$1,000/$1,500/$2,500 depending on account size — and your remaining balance must stay above the buffer (you cannot request a payout that would take your account into the buffer). For example, if you earned $250 in profit, you could request up to $500, as long as that keeps your balance above the buffer. If you earned $700, you can request up to $1,000 on a 50K account (since that's the cap). Minimum payout is $250. This applies to the 25K to 150K sizes. The Select 300K uses a $3,500 daily cap with a 50% new-profit requirement instead — see 300K Select Account.
+ A: You must have profit greater than $0 since your last payout. You may then request up to 2× the profit earned since your last payout, capped at $600/$1,250/$1,750/$2,500 depending on account size ($600/$1,000/$1,500/$2,500 for accounts bought before September 1, 2026) — and your remaining balance must stay above the buffer (you cannot request a payout that would take your account into the buffer). For example, if you earned $250 in profit, you could request up to $500, as long as that keeps your balance above the buffer. If you earned $700, you can request up to $1,250 on a 50K account bought on or after September 1, 2026 ($1,000 if bought before), since that's the cap. Minimum payout is $250. This applies to the 25K to 150K sizes. The Select 300K uses a $4,000 daily cap on V2 ($3,500 on V1) with a 50% new-profit requirement instead — see 300K Select Account.
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.
+ 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 within 24 hours, up to 72 hours over a weekend — 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.
Q: Is the loss recovery requirement different between Select Flex and Select Daily?
A: No. Both policies require positive net profit during each payout cycle. The difference between the two policies is how much you can withdraw once you are eligible — not whether you need to recover losses first. On Daily, your payout is capped at 2x your cycle profit (up to the payout cap - depending on account size). On Flex, your payout is up to 50% of your total profits (up to the payout cap depending on account size). But both require you to be net positive for the cycle.
Q: After my first payout, is the 50% calculated from just the current cycle's profit or my total profits?
A: The 50% is calculated from your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), not just the profits from the current cycle. For example, if your starting balance was $50,000 and you're now at $54,000, your total profit is $4,000, so you're eligible to withdraw up to $2,000 (50% of $4,000), assuming you've met the 5 winning days requirement for this cycle.
Q: What happens to my drawdown after my first payout?
A: Your maximum trailing drawdown locks when your End of Day balance exceeds your drawdown amount by $100. Once locked, the drawdown limit becomes a fixed floor at $100 above your starting balance and never moves up again. This applies to both Select Flex and Select Daily policies.
Lock trigger balances (EOD):
- 25K Account: $26,100 (Flex) / $26,100 (Daily) → Locks at $25,100
- 50K Account: $52,100 (Flex) / $52,100 (Daily) → Locks at $50,100
- 100K Account: $103,100 (Flex) / $102,600 (Daily) → Locks at $100,100

Select Daily Payout Policy
The 'Select Daily' Payout Policy is designed for traders who value rapid access to profits and prefer more frequent, smaller withdrawals. This policy includes tighter risk management with a Daily Loss Limit and operates with a buffer system.

+ Max Contracts (Scaled) | 2 mini / 20 micro | 4 mini / 40 micro | 8 mini / 80 micro | 12 mini / 120 micro
Buffer System
The Daily Payout Policy uses a buffer amount that must be exceeded before you can request payouts:
- 25K Account: $1,100 buffer
- 50K Account: $2,100 buffer
- 100K Account: $2,600 buffer
- 150K Account: $3,600 buffer
Select 300K: $5,100 buffer (balance of $305,100).
You cannot withdraw profits that would bring your account balance below the buffer amount. Profits above the buffer are eligible for withdrawal, up to the payout cap.

Contract Scaling Plan (Funded Accounts Only)
Select Funded accounts use a progressive scaling system that increases your contract limits as your account equity grows. Scaling is calibrated at End of Day (EOD), meaning your contract limits update based on your closing balance each trading day.
Important: This scaling plan applies only to funded accounts. During evaluation, you have access to the full contract limits (2/20, 4/40, 8/80, or 12/120 depending on account size).
Scaling Parameters Overview
Parameter | 25K Account | 50K Account | 100K Account | 150K Account
Starting Max Contracts | 1 mini / 10 micros | 2 minis / 20 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros
Section: Scaling Parameters Overview
− Scaling Trigger 1 ($1,500 Equity) | — | 3 minis / 30 micros | 4 minis / 40 micros | 4 minis / 40 micros
+ Scaling Trigger 1 ($1,500 Equity) | 2 minis / 20 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros | 4 minis / 40 micros | 4 minis / 40 micros
Scaling Trigger 2 ($2,000 Equity) | — | 4 minis / 40 micros | 5 minis / 50 micros | 5 minis / 50 micros
Scaling Trigger 3 ($3,000 Equity) | — | — | 8 minis / 80 micros | 8 minis / 80 micros
Scaling Trigger 4 ($4,500 Equity) | — | — | — | 12 minis / 120 micros
How Scaling Works
- Your contract limits are based on your End of Day equity (account balance at market close)
- When your EOD equity reaches a scaling trigger threshold, your limits automatically increase the next trading day
- Scaling triggers are cumulative - once you reach a higher tier, you retain those limits even if your balance fluctuates
- All account sizes start with reduced limits and scale up as you demonstrate profitable trading
Scaling Examples
50K Account:
- Start trading with 2 minis / 20 micros
- Reach $51,500 EOD balance ($1,500 profit) → Next day limits increase to 3 minis / 30 micros

- $1,750 for a 100K account
- $2,500 for a 150K account
Select 300K (Daily) works differently: the cap is $3,500 per day, and 50% of each payout must come from new profit earned since your last payout. The 2× multiplier and the per-size caps above do not apply to the 300K — see 300K Select Account.
This cap resets after each payout cycle.
Minimum payout: $250
Example
A trader with a 50K account has a balance of $53,500 and earned $250 in profit since their last payout.
- 2 × $250 = $500
- The trader is able to request a payout of up to $500 as the trader is more than $500 above the buffer.
- After payout approved the balance is set to $53,000

No Minimum Balance Requirement
Unlike other Tradeify programs, Select Flex has no minimum account balance requirement for payouts. You can request a payout immediately after achieving 5 winning days, regardless of your account balance.
First Payout Example (50K Account):
- You achieve 5 winning days with a balance of $52,500
- Since your EOD balance exceeded $52,100, your drawdown has already locked at $50,100
- You're eligible to withdraw 50% of your profits ($1,250)
- You request and receive a $1,250 payout
- Your balance after payout: $51,250
Note: Your drawdown locks at $100 above your starting balance (e.g., $50,100 for a 50K account). This happens either automatically at EOD when your balance reaches $52,100 (for 50K), or immediately when you request a payout—whichever comes first.
Subsequent Payouts (2nd Payout and Beyond)
For all payouts after your first, you must have positive net profit during each payout cycle in order to request a payout. This simply ensures traders have made at least some amount of money between requests. As long as you meet the 5 winning days requirement and have positive net profit for the payout cycle, you are eligible for payout.
Second Payout Example (50K Account):
- Starting balance: $50,000
- After first cycle: Balance reached $52,500 (profit: $2,500)
- First payout: 50% of $2,500 = $1,250 withdrawn
- Balance after first payout: $51,250
- After second cycle: Balance reached $54,000
- Total profits now: $54,000 - $50,000 = $4,000
Section: Subsequent Payouts (2nd Payout and Beyond)
− - Second payout eligibility: 50% of $4,000 = $2,000 (within $3,000 cap)
+ - Second payout eligibility: 50% of $4,000 = $2,000
Key point: The 50% is calculated from your TOTAL profit position (current balance minus starting balance), not just the profit made during the current cycle.
How Select Flex Works
- Trade until you achieve 5 winning days (days where you profit at least the minimum threshold)
- Request a payout of up to 50% of your profits, not exceeding the payout cap
- After receiving your payout, continue trading to build another 5 winning days
- Repeat the process until you reach live trading eligibility
Best For
The 5-Day Payout Policy works well for traders who:
- Prefer larger withdrawal amounts less frequently
- Want the flexibility of having no Daily Loss Limit (the trailing max drawdown floor still applies in real time)
- Are comfortable with wider drawdown parameters
- Build profits steadily over several trading sessions
- 25K Account: $1,100 buffer
- 50K Account: $2,100 buffer
- 100K Account: $2,600 buffer
- 150K Account: $3,600 buffer
Select 300K: $5,100 buffer (balance of $305,100).
You cannot withdraw profits that would bring your account balance below the buffer amount. Profits above the buffer are eligible for withdrawal, up to the payout cap.

- After payout approved the balance is set to $53,000
If instead the trader had earned $700:
- 2 × $700 = $1,400
- But the cap for a 50K account is $1,000
Section: Example
− - So the trader could request up to $1,000 as the trader is more than $1,000 above the buffer.
+ (if account is purchased before Sep 1st,2026 then the cap is $1,000 but if purchased after the cap is $1,250)

- After payout approved the balance is set to $52,500
After the payout is completed, profit resets to zero and the next cycle begins.
If instead the trader had earned only $100:
- 2 × $100 = $200
- But the minimum payout is $250
- Not eligible yet — the trader needs at least $125 in profit to request the minimum $250 payout
If the trader had negative profit (lost money since last payout):
- Not eligible — must have positive profit since last payout to request
Subsequent Payouts (2nd Payout and Beyond)
For all payouts after your first, you must have positive net profit during each payout cycle in order to request a payout. This simply ensures traders have made at least some amount of money between requests. As long as you have positive net profit for the payout cycle and meet the buffer requirement, you are eligible for payout.

A: No, there's no demo or testing option. Review the parameters carefully and choose the policy that best matches your trading approach.
Q: What happens if I breach my funded account?
A: Regardless of policy, a breach means your funded account is terminated. You would need to purchase and pass a new evaluation to receive another funded account.
Q: Does the buffer amount ever change?
A: No, the buffer amounts are fixed for each account size under the Daily Payout Policy and do not change throughout your account lifecycle.
Q: How does the Daily Continuity Rule work?
A: You must have profit greater than $0 since your last payout. You may then request up to 2× the profit earned since your last payout, capped at $600/$1,000/$1,500/$2,500 depending on account size — and your remaining balance must stay above the buffer (you cannot request a payout that would take your account into the buffer). For example, if you earned $250 in profit, you could request up to $500, as long as that keeps your balance above the buffer. If you earned $700, you can request up to $1,000 on a 50K account (since that's the cap). Minimum payout is $250. This applies to the 25K to 150K sizes. The Select 300K uses a $3,500 daily cap with a 50% new-profit requirement instead — see 300K Select Account.
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: 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.
Q: Is the loss recovery requirement different between Select Flex and Select Daily?
Section: Frequently Asked Questions
− A: No. Both policies require positive net profit during each payout cycle. The difference between the two policies is how much you can withdraw once you are eligible — not whether you need to recover losses first. On Daily, your payout is capped at 2x your cycle profit (up to $600 / $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,500 depending on account size). On Flex, your payout is up to 50% of your total profits (up to $1,250 / $3,000 / $4,000 / $5,000 depending on account size). But both require you to be net positive for the cycle.
+ A: No. Both policies require positive net profit during each payout cycle. The difference between the two policies is how much you can withdraw once you are eligible — not whether you need to recover losses first. On Daily, your payout is capped at 2x your cycle profit (up to the payout cap - depending on account size). On Flex, your payout is up to 50% of your total profits (up to the payout cap depending on account size). But both require you to be net positive for the cycle.
Q: After my first payout, is the 50% calculated from just the current cycle's profit or my total profits?
A: The 50% is calculated from your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), not just the profits from the current cycle. For example, if your starting balance was $50,000 and you're now at $54,000, your total profit is $4,000, so you're eligible to withdraw up to $2,000 (50% of $4,000), assuming you've met the 5 winning days requirement for this cycle.
Q: What happens to my drawdown after my first payout?
A: Your maximum trailing drawdown locks when your End of Day balance exceeds your drawdown amount by $100. Once locked, the drawdown limit becomes a fixed floor at $100 above your starting balance and never moves up again. This applies to both Select Flex and Select Daily policies.
Lock trigger balances (EOD):
− - 25K Account: $26,600 (Flex) / $26,100 (Daily) → Locks at $25,100
+ - 25K Account: $26,100 (Flex) / $26,100 (Daily) → Locks at $25,100
- 50K Account: $52,100 (Flex) / $52,100 (Daily) → Locks at $50,100
- 100K Account: $103,100 (Flex) / $102,600 (Daily) → Locks at $100,100
- 150K Account: $154,600 (Flex) / $153,600 (Daily) → Locks at $150,100
Q: Why do I start with fewer contracts in my funded account than I had during evaluation?
A: Funded accounts use a progressive scaling system that starts with lower contract limits and increases as your equity grows. During evaluation, you have access to full contract limits to demonstrate your trading ability. Once funded, you start at the base tier and scale up as you prove consistent profitability. This helps manage risk while rewarding successful trading.
Q: When do my contract limits increase?
A: Your contract limits are calibrated at End of Day (EOD). When your closing balance reaches a scaling trigger threshold, your limits automatically increase for the next trading day.

Payout Structure
Profit Split: 90 Trader / 10 Tradeify
Payout Frequency: Every 5 winning days
Winning Day Threshold:
- 25K Account: $100 minimum profit per day
- 50K Account: $150 minimum profit per day
- 100K Account: $200 minimum profit per day
- 150K Account: $250 minimum profit per day

+ - 300K Account: $750 minimum profit per day
Payout Caps:
- 25K Account: Up to 50% of your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), capped at $1,250 per payout
- 50K Account: Up to 50% of your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), capped at $3,000 per payout
- 100K Account: Up to 50% of your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), capped at $4,000 per payout
- 150K Account: Up to 50% of your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), capped at $5,000 per payout
+ Select 300K (Flex): winning day threshold $750, payout cap up to 50% of your total profits capped at $10,000 per payout. Full parameters: 300K Select Account.
No Minimum Balance Requirement
Unlike other Tradeify programs, Select Flex has no minimum account balance requirement for payouts. You can request a payout immediately after achieving 5 winning days, regardless of your account balance.
First Payout Example (50K Account):
- You achieve 5 winning days with a balance of $52,500
- Since your EOD balance exceeded $52,100, your drawdown has already locked at $50,100
- You're eligible to withdraw 50% of your profits ($1,250)
- You request and receive a $1,250 payout
- Your balance after payout: $51,250
Note: Your drawdown locks at $100 above your starting balance (e.g., $50,100 for a 50K account). This happens either automatically at EOD when your balance reaches $52,100 (for 50K), or immediately when you request a payout—whichever comes first.
Subsequent Payouts (2nd Payout and Beyond)
For all payouts after your first, you must have positive net profit during each payout cycle in order to request a payout. This simply ensures traders have made at least some amount of money between requests. As long as you meet the 5 winning days requirement and have positive net profit for the payout cycle, you are eligible for payout.
Second Payout Example (50K Account):
Maximum Drawdown | $1,000 | $2,000 | $2,500 | $3,500
Drawdown Mode | End of Day | End of Day | End of Day | End of Day
Daily Loss Limit | $500 | $1,000 | $1,250 | $1,750

Max Contracts (Scaled) | 1 mini / 10 micro | 4 mini / 40 micro | 8 mini / 80 micro | 12 mini / 120 micro
Buffer System
The Daily Payout Policy uses a buffer amount that must be exceeded before you can request payouts:
- 25K Account: $1,100 buffer
- 50K Account: $2,100 buffer
- 100K Account: $2,600 buffer
- 150K Account: $3,600 buffer
Section: Buffer System
+ Select 300K: $5,100 buffer (balance of $305,100).
You cannot withdraw profits that would bring your account balance below the buffer amount. Profits above the buffer are eligible for withdrawal, up to the payout cap.
Payout Structure
Payout Frequency: Daily eligibility
Profit Split: 90% trader / 10% firm
Payout Caps
This is the Daily Continuity Rule:
To be eligible for a payout on any day:
- They may request up to 2× the profit earned between each payout request, capped at:
- $600 for a 25K account
- $1,000 for a 50K account
- $1,500 for a 100K account
- $2,500 for a 150K account
Section: Payout Caps
+ Select 300K (Daily) works differently: the cap is $3,500 per day, and 50% of each payout must come from new profit earned since your last payout. The 2× multiplier and the per-size caps above do not apply to the 300K — see 300K Select Account.
This cap resets after each payout cycle.
Minimum payout: $250
Example
A trader with a 50K account has a balance of $53,500 and earned $250 in profit since their last payout.
- 2 × $250 = $500
- The trader is able to request a payout of up to $500 as the trader is more than $500 above the buffer.
- After payout approved the balance is set to $53,000
If instead the trader had earned $700:
- 2 × $700 = $1,400
- But the cap for a 50K account is $1,000
- So the trader could request up to $1,000 as the trader is more than $1,000 above the buffer.
- After payout approved the balance is set to $52,500
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I have both policies on different accounts?
A: Yes, if you pass multiple evaluations, you can choose different payout policies for each funded account.
Q: Do I have to choose immediately after passing?
A: You'll be prompted to choose when you activate the account. Take time to review both options before making your selection. Keep in mind that your evaluation purchase gives you a set period to activate. If you don't activate your passed evaluation within the allowed timeframe, you may need to purchase a new evaluation.
Q: Can I test both policies somehow?
A: No, there's no demo or testing option. Review the parameters carefully and choose the policy that best matches your trading approach.
Q: What happens if I breach my funded account?
A: Regardless of policy, a breach means your funded account is terminated. You would need to purchase and pass a new evaluation to receive another funded account.
Q: Does the buffer amount ever change?
A: No, the buffer amounts are fixed for each account size under the Daily Payout Policy and do not change throughout your account lifecycle.
Q: How does the Daily Continuity Rule work?
Section: Frequently Asked Questions
− A: You must have profit greater than $0 since your last payout. You may then request up to 2× the profit earned since your last payout, capped at $600/$1,000/$1,500/$2,500 depending on account size — and your remaining balance must stay above the buffer (you cannot request a payout that would take your account into the buffer). For example, if you earned $250 in profit, you could request up to $500, as long as that keeps your balance above the buffer. If you earned $700, you can request up to $1,000 on a 50K account (since that's the cap). Minimum payout is $250.

The Select 300K uses a $3,500 daily cap with a 50% new-profit requirement instead — see 300K Select Account.
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: 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.
Q: Is the loss recovery requirement different between Select Flex and Select Daily?
A: No. Both policies require positive net profit during each payout cycle. The difference between the two policies is how much you can withdraw once you are eligible — not whether you need to recover losses first. On Daily, your payout is capped at 2x your cycle profit (up to $600 / $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,500 depending on account size). On Flex, your payout is up to 50% of your total profits (up to $1,250 / $3,000 / $4,000 / $5,000 depending on account size). But both require you to be net positive for the cycle.
Q: After my first payout, is the 50% calculated from just the current cycle's profit or my total profits?
A: The 50% is calculated from your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), not just the profits from the current cycle. For example, if your starting balance was $50,000 and you're now at $54,000, your total profit is $4,000, so you're eligible to withdraw up to $2,000 (50% of $4,000), assuming you've met the 5 winning days requirement for this cycle.
Q: What happens to my drawdown after my first payout?
A: Your maximum trailing drawdown locks when your End of Day balance exceeds your drawdown amount by $100. Once locked, the drawdown limit becomes a fixed floor at $100 above your starting balance and never moves up again. This applies to both Select Flex and Select Daily policies.
Lock trigger balances (EOD):
- 25K Account: $26,600 (Flex) / $26,100 (Daily) → Locks at $25,100

After successfully passing your Tradeify Select evaluation, you'll need to choose between two distinct payout policies for your funded account. This decision is permanent for that account and determines your withdrawal eligibility, payout frequency, and drawdown structure.
This article explains both payout options in detail to help you make an informed choice based on your trading style and goals.
+ The parameter tables below cover the 25K to 150K sizes. For the Select 300K, see 300K Select Account.
Overview: The Two Options
Think of this choice as selecting your trading path:
- 5-Day Payout Policy (Flex) - Traditional milestone-based payouts with larger caps and no Daily Loss Limit
- Daily Payout Policy (Daily) - Rapid-access payouts with daily eligibility but tighter risk parameters
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.
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)
The 'Select Flex' Payout Policy is designed for traders who prefer accumulating larger profit milestones before requesting withdrawals. This policy offers the most trading flexibility with no Daily Loss Limit and wider drawdown parameters.

Contract Scaling Plan (Funded Accounts Only)
Select Funded accounts use a progressive scaling system that increases your contract limits as your account equity grows. Scaling is calibrated at End of Day (EOD), meaning your contract limits update based on your closing balance each trading day.
Important: This scaling plan applies only to funded accounts. During evaluation, you have access to the full contract limits (2/20, 4/40, 8/80, or 12/120 depending on account size).
Scaling Parameters Overview
Parameter | 25K Account | 50K Account | 100K Account | 150K Account
Starting Max Contracts | 1 mini / 10 micros | 2 minis / 20 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros

+ Scaling Trigger 1 ($1,500 Equity) | — | 3 minis / 30 micros | 4 minis / 40 micros | 4 minis / 40 micros
Scaling Trigger 2 ($2,000 Equity) | — | 4 minis / 40 micros | 5 minis / 50 micros | 5 minis / 50 micros

Scaling Trigger 4 ($4,500 Equity) | — | — | — | 12 minis / 120 micros
How Scaling Works
- Your contract limits are based on your End of Day equity (account balance at market close)
- When your EOD equity reaches a scaling trigger threshold, your limits automatically increase the next trading day
- Scaling triggers are cumulative - once you reach a higher tier, you retain those limits even if your balance fluctuates
- All account sizes start with reduced limits and scale up as you demonstrate profitable trading
Scaling Examples

− - Start trading with 1 mini / 10 micros

After successfully passing your Tradeify Select evaluation, you'll need to choose between two distinct payout policies for your funded account. This decision is permanent for that account and determines your withdrawal eligibility, payout frequency, and drawdown structure.
This article explains both payout options in detail to help you make an informed choice based on your trading style and goals.
Overview: The Two Options
Think of this choice as selecting your trading path:
- 5-Day Payout Policy (Flex) - Traditional milestone-based payouts with larger caps and no Daily Loss Limit
- Daily Payout Policy (Daily) - Rapid-access payouts with daily eligibility but tighter risk parameters
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.

Payout Structure
Profit Split: 90 Trader / 10 Tradeify
Payout Frequency: Every 5 winning days
Winning Day Threshold:
- 25K Account: $100 minimum profit per day
- 50K Account: $150 minimum profit per day
- 100K Account: $200 minimum profit per day
- 150K Account: $250 minimum profit per day
Payout Caps:
- 25K Account: Up to 50% of your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), capped at $1,250 per payout
- 50K Account: Up to 50% of your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), capped at $3,000 per payout
- 100K Account: Up to 50% of your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), capped at $4,000 per payout
- 150K Account: Up to 50% of your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), capped at $5,000 per payout
No Minimum Balance Requirement
Unlike other Tradeify programs, Select Flex has no minimum account balance requirement for payouts. You can request a payout immediately after achieving 5 winning days, regardless of your account balance.
First Payout Example (50K Account):
- You achieve 5 winning days with a balance of $52,500
- Since your EOD balance exceeded $52,100, your drawdown has already locked at $50,100
- You're eligible to withdraw 50% of your profits ($1,250)
- You request and receive a $1,250 payout
- Your balance after payout: $51,250
Note: Your drawdown locks at $100 above your starting balance (e.g., $50,100 for a 50K account). This happens either automatically at EOD when your balance reaches $52,100 (for 50K), or immediately when you request a payout—whichever comes first.
Subsequent Payouts (2nd Payout and Beyond)
For all payouts after your first, you must have positive net profit during each payout cycle in order to request a payout. This simply ensures traders have made at least some amount of money between requests. As long as you meet the 5 winning days requirement and have positive net profit for the payout cycle, you are eligible for payout.
Second Payout Example (50K Account):
- Starting balance: $50,000
- After first cycle: Balance reached $52,500 (profit: $2,500)
- First payout: 50% of $2,500 = $1,250 withdrawn
- Balance after first payout: $51,250
- After second cycle: Balance reached $54,000
- Total profits now: $54,000 - $50,000 = $4,000
- Second payout eligibility: 50% of $4,000 = $2,000 (within $3,000 cap)
Key point: The 50% is calculated from your TOTAL profit position (current balance minus starting balance), not just the profit made during the current cycle.
How Select Flex Works
- Trade until you achieve 5 winning days (days where you profit at least the minimum threshold)
- Request a payout of up to 50% of your profits, not exceeding the payout cap
- After receiving your payout, continue trading to build another 5 winning days
- Repeat the process until you reach live trading eligibility
Best For
The 5-Day Payout Policy works well for traders who:
- Prefer larger withdrawal amounts less frequently
- Want maximum intraday flexibility without Daily Loss Limits
- Are comfortable with wider drawdown parameters
- Build profits steadily over several trading sessions
- Focus on consistency across multiple days
Select Daily Payout Policy
The 'Select Daily' Payout Policy is designed for traders who value rapid access to profits and prefer more frequent, smaller withdrawals. This policy includes tighter risk management with a Daily Loss Limit and operates with a buffer system.

- 25K Account: $1,100 buffer
- 50K Account: $2,100 buffer
- 100K Account: $2,600 buffer
- 150K Account: $3,600 buffer
You cannot withdraw profits that would bring your account balance below the buffer amount. Profits above the buffer are eligible for withdrawal, up to the payout cap.
Payout Structure
Payout Frequency: Daily eligibility
Profit Split: 90% trader / 10% firm
Payout Caps
This is the Daily Continuity Rule:
To be eligible for a payout on any day:
- They may request up to 2× the profit earned between each payout request, capped at:
- $600 for a 25K account
- $1,000 for a 50K account
- $1,500 for a 100K account
- $2,500 for a 150K account
This cap resets after each payout cycle.
Minimum payout: $250
Example
A trader with a 50K account has a balance of $53,500 and earned $250 in profit since their last payout.
- 2 × $250 = $500
- The trader is able to request a payout of up to $500 as the trader is more than $500 above the buffer.
- After payout approved the balance is set to $53,000
If instead the trader had earned $700:
- 2 × $700 = $1,400
- But the cap for a 50K account is $1,000
- So the trader could request up to $1,000 as the trader is more than $1,000 above the buffer.
- After payout approved the balance is set to $52,500
After the payout is completed, profit resets to zero and the next cycle begins.
If instead the trader had earned only $100:
- 2 × $100 = $200
- But the minimum payout is $250
- Not eligible yet — the trader needs at least $125 in profit to request the minimum $250 payout
If the trader had negative profit (lost money since last payout):
- Not eligible — must have positive profit since last payout to request
Subsequent Payouts (2nd Payout and Beyond)
For all payouts after your first, you must have positive net profit during each payout cycle in order to request a payout. This simply ensures traders have made at least some amount of money between requests. As long as you have positive net profit for the payout cycle and meet the buffer requirement, you are eligible for payout.
How Daily Payouts Work
- 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.
- Continue trading to build additional profits above the buffer
- Request payouts once eligible again
Best For
The Daily Payout Policy works well for traders who:
- Value frequent access to profits
- Trade consistently on a daily basis
- Prefer structured risk management with Daily Loss Limits
- Are comfortable with tighter drawdown parameters
- Want faster cash flow from smaller, regular withdrawals
Contract Scaling Plan (Funded Accounts Only)
Select Funded accounts use a progressive scaling system that increases your contract limits as your account equity grows. Scaling is calibrated at End of Day (EOD), meaning your contract limits update based on your closing balance each trading day.
Important: This scaling plan applies only to funded accounts. During evaluation, you have access to the full contract limits (2/20, 4/40, 8/80, or 12/120 depending on account size).
Scaling Parameters Overview
Parameter | 25K Account | 50K Account | 100K Account | 150K Account
Starting Max Contracts | 1 mini / 10 micros | 2 minis / 20 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros
Scaling Trigger 1 ($1,500 Equity) | 2 minis / 20 micros | 3 minis / 30 micros | 4 minis / 40 micros | 4 minis / 40 micros
Scaling Trigger 2 ($2,000 Equity) | — | 4 minis / 40 micros | 5 minis / 50 micros | 5 minis / 50 micros
Scaling Trigger 3 ($3,000 Equity) | — | — | 8 minis / 80 micros | 8 minis / 80 micros
Scaling Trigger 4 ($4,500 Equity) | — | — | — | 12 minis / 120 micros
How Scaling Works
- Your contract limits are based on your End of Day equity (account balance at market close)
- When your EOD equity reaches a scaling trigger threshold, your limits automatically increase the next trading day
- Scaling triggers are cumulative - once you reach a higher tier, you retain those limits even if your balance fluctuates
- All account sizes start with reduced limits and scale up as you demonstrate profitable trading

Payment Methods
Tradeify Select payouts are available through multiple payment methods:
- Rise - Primary payout method (instant processing)
- Plane - Alternative payout option
For detailed information about each payment method, processing times, and setup instructions, please see our payout method articles in the help center.
Path to Live
A trader becomes eligible to be considered for a Tradeify Elite Live account once they meet one of the following minimum thresholds:
- 3 payouts on a single account, or
- 10 total payouts since the last live transition across all plan types
Measured:
- Since the last Live Transition, or
- Since the first purchase (if they have never transitioned to Live before)
Important:
These thresholds represent the minimum requirements for consideration, not automatic qualification. Reaching these milestones does not guarantee an immediate move to Elite Live.
Tradeify evaluates traders holistically, with a strong focus on consistency, risk management, and overall trading behaviour. As a result, most traders will not be transitioned to live immediately upon hitting these thresholds. Our team will reach out directly when a trader is selected.
These eligibility criteria apply across all plan types — Select, Growth, and Lightning. Regardless of which payout policy you choose, your path to live trading follows the same qualification criteria.
For detailed information about the Live Transition process, benefits of Live accounts, and what changes when you transition, please see: Tradeify Elite Program
Important Reminders
- Your choice is permanent - Once you select a payout policy for a funded account, you cannot change it. Choose carefully based on your trading style.
- No refunds or exchanges - If you later decide you prefer the other policy, you'll need to purchase and pass another evaluation.
- Both lead to live trading - Neither policy is "better" than the other. They're designed for different trading styles, but both provide a clear path to live funded trading.
- Scaling is the same - Both policies use identical contract scaling structures as your account equity grows.
- Same max funded accounts - You can hold up to 5 funded accounts total, regardless of which policy or account type you choose across all our funded accounts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I have both policies on different accounts?
A: Yes, if you pass multiple evaluations, you can choose different payout policies for each funded account.
Q: Do I have to choose immediately after passing?
A: You'll be prompted to choose when you activate the account. Take time to review both options before making your selection. Keep in mind that your evaluation purchase gives you a set period to activate. If you don't activate your passed evaluation within the allowed timeframe, you may need to purchase a new evaluation.
Q: Can I test both policies somehow?
A: No, there's no demo or testing option. Review the parameters carefully and choose the policy that best matches your trading approach.
Q: What happens if I breach my funded account?
A: Regardless of policy, a breach means your funded account is terminated. You would need to purchase and pass a new evaluation to receive another funded account.
Q: Does the buffer amount ever change?
A: No, the buffer amounts are fixed for each account size under the Daily Payout Policy and do not change throughout your account lifecycle.
Q: How does the Daily Continuity Rule work?
A: You must have profit greater than $0 since your last payout. You may then request up to 2× the profit earned since your last payout, capped at $600/$1,000/$1,500/$2,500 depending on account size — and your remaining balance must stay above the buffer (you cannot request a payout that would take your account into the buffer). For example, if you earned $250 in profit, you could request up to $500, as long as that keeps your balance above the buffer. If you earned $700, you can request up to $1,000 on a 50K account (since that's the cap). Minimum payout is $250.
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: 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.
Q: Is the loss recovery requirement different between Select Flex and Select Daily?
A: No. Both policies require positive net profit during each payout cycle. The difference between the two policies is how much you can withdraw once you are eligible — not whether you need to recover losses first. On Daily, your payout is capped at 2x your cycle profit (up to $600 / $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,500 depending on account size). On Flex, your payout is up to 50% of your total profits (up to $1,250 / $3,000 / $4,000 / $5,000 depending on account size). But both require you to be net positive for the cycle.
Q: After my first payout, is the 50% calculated from just the current cycle's profit or my total profits?
A: The 50% is calculated from your total profits (current balance minus starting balance), not just the profits from the current cycle. For example, if your starting balance was $50,000 and you're now at $54,000, your total profit is $4,000, so you're eligible to withdraw up to $2,000 (50% of $4,000), assuming you've met the 5 winning days requirement for this cycle.
Q: What happens to my drawdown after my first payout?
A: Your maximum trailing drawdown locks when your End of Day balance exceeds your drawdown amount by $100. Once locked, the drawdown limit becomes a fixed floor at $100 above your starting balance and never moves up again. This applies to both Select Flex and Select Daily policies.
Lock trigger balances (EOD):
- 25K Account: $26,600 (Flex) / $26,100 (Daily) → Locks at $25,100
- 50K Account: $52,100 (Flex) / $52,100 (Daily) → Locks at $50,100
- 100K Account: $103,100 (Flex) / $102,600 (Daily) → Locks at $100,100
- 150K Account: $154,600 (Flex) / $153,600 (Daily) → Locks at $150,100
Q: Why do I start with fewer contracts in my funded account than I had during evaluation?
A: Funded accounts use a progressive scaling system that starts with lower contract limits and increases as your equity grows. During evaluation, you have access to full contract limits to demonstrate your trading ability. Once funded, you start at the base tier and scale up as you prove consistent profitability. This helps manage risk while rewarding successful trading.
Q: When do my contract limits increase?
A: Your contract limits are calibrated at End of Day (EOD). When your closing balance reaches a scaling trigger threshold, your limits automatically increase for the next trading day.
