TL;DR: Tradeify in 30 seconds
- What it is: a US futures prop firm (Tradeify Holdings) running simulated evaluations. Product lines: Select, Growth and Lightning (instant). Standard sizes $25k to $150k; Select also has a limited-release $300k account with separate terms.
- The key distinction: EOD trailing drawdown is enforced during trading. Sim Funded pays 90/10 from the first payout; Elite Live pays 80/20.
- The models: Growth and Select evaluations and Lightning instant funding are one-time purchases.
- Payouts: Select offers Daily or five-winning-day Flex eligibility. Growth and Lightning have their own conditions, minimums and caps.
- Watch for: recurring complaints about KYC declines and payouts approved-then-denied, plus strict hedging and weekly-activity rules. Keep clean records.
- Best for: futures traders who want to choose an evaluation or instant-funded route and a suitable payout cadence - and who trade within the (fairly strict) rules and complete KYC cleanly.

Company and regulation
Tradeify (at tradeify.co) is operated by Tradeify Holdings, Corp., a US company founded in 2022. It is unregulated and uses the standard US-futures simulated (SIM) account model: you trade in a simulated environment, and payouts are made from company funds rather than from a live customer account. Its disclaimers note that “simulated results do not necessarily imply future profits” and that the service is “as is.” Trading is futures only (a separate crypto product exists at tradeifycrypto.co).

LinkedIn profileI have experience from both Tradeify and Funded Next. I would say Tradeify is better than Funded Next because of their excellent customer service and prompt responses. In contrast, Funded Next's responses appear to be generated by AI and not human. Additionally, Tradeify's Discord server is more active and vibrant, with a thriving community that engages in discussions, while Funded Next's Discord server is largely inactive and dominated by AI-generated content.
Felipe Bertozo
Funded futures trader based in Sao Paulo, Brazil, who studied at the Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz and worked as an investment advisor at XP Investimentos before moving into proprietary trading. He has traded funded accounts with Tradeify since January 2026, and also trades with Topstep and BluSky Trading Company.
LinkedIn profileWhat stands out the most to me about Tradeify is the flexibility they offer traders. The possibility of requesting daily payouts is a huge advantage, especially for traders who want to regularly take profits off the table. I also really like how quickly you can transition to a live account after proving your consistency. Another interesting feature is the possibility of having more than one live account, which gives experienced traders more flexibility to scale their trading. These are features that make Tradeify particularly attractive for traders who are looking for more freedom in how they manage their capital.

LinkedIn profileMy experience with Goat Funded Trader and Tradeify has been focused on using the account to apply my trading model in a funded environment while keeping my focus on risk management and consistency.
What I personally look for in a prop firm is clear rules, a structure that fits my trading style and the ability to focus on execution rather than constantly worrying about unnecessary complexity. Since I trade a maximum of one setup per day and place a strong emphasis on patience and selectivity, those are the factors I consider most important when evaluating a firm.
The rule that defines it: EOD drawdown with real-time enforcement
Current Growth, Select and Lightning accounts use end-of-day trailing drawdown. The floor rises with the highest EOD balance; it does not trail intraday profit peaks. However, touching the floor with net liquidation value, including open losses, fails the account immediately. Recovering before the close does not undo the breach. Sim Funded floors lock at starting balance plus $100 when the applicable threshold or payout-request trigger is reached; evaluations do not lock. See Tradeify’s drawdown rules.
This is intraday futures trading: close positions by 4:45 p.m. Eastern on regular trading days. The current lineup does not offer an Advanced intraday-trailing alternative. Select’s choice is between funded payout policies, not between EOD and intraday trailing. Official trading rules.
Products, fees and payouts
Growth can pass in one day, with no evaluation consistency requirement; its 35% consistency rule applies to funded payouts. Select normally requires 40% evaluation consistency, implying at least three days; the eligible 50% add-on permits a two-day path. Lightning skips evaluation. All three are one-time purchases with no activation fee. See the Growth evaluation, Select evaluation and billing reference.
The limited-release Select $300k has its own V1/V2 rules, requires KYC before purchase and cannot be reset. V2, purchased from 27 August 2026, has a daily loss limit even on evaluation and Flex. Do not apply the smaller Select accounts’ no-DLL rule to it. 300k account terms.
- Select: $250 minimum. Flex requires five qualifying winning days and permits up to 50% of total profit, subject to the size/date cap. Daily requires a retained buffer and fresh profit between requests. On $25k-$150k accounts bought after 1 September 2026, Flex caps are $1,250/$2,500/$3,500/$4,500; Daily caps are $600/$1,250/$1,750/$2,500, also limited to twice the profit since the previous request. The $300k rules differ. Select payout policies.
- Growth: five qualifying profitable days per cycle, 35% consistency and the required account balance. Minimum requests are $250/$500/$1,000/$1,500 for $25k/$50k/$100k/$150k. Payout tiers cap withdrawals. Payments are issued within 24-48 hours after processing; out-of-hours requests may take up to 72 hours to process. Growth payout policy.
- Lightning: $1,000 minimum, profit goals and size/payout-number caps. No explicit day count, but consistency constrains speed. Accounts bought after 12 September 2025, 8 a.m. Eastern, use 20%/25%/30% for first/second/later payouts; older accounts retain 20%. Each cycle requires new profit. A $150k first-payout goal of $9,000 unlocks a maximum $3,000 request, not a $9,000 withdrawal. Lightning payout policy.
Live progression: Sim Funded payouts use 90/10. Elite Live uses 80/20 and starts at $0 without carrying over remaining SIM profits. Three payouts on one account or ten across accounts since the last transition makes a trader eligible for consideration; selection remains discretionary and transition is mandatory when selected. Legacy Live traders keep their applicable terms. Elite Live program.
The main caution
Tradeify’s Trustpilot is strong (around 4.5 across thousands of reviews) and most traders report fast payouts. But two complaint themes recur. The first is KYC/KYB verification failures - automated declines with a slow resubmit path are the most common gripe. The second is a pattern some reviewers describe of a payout being approved and then denied hours later, with the account locked, usually tied to consistency or hedging rules. There are also strict hedging bans and a weekly-activity rule (trade at least weekly or risk removal). None points to insolvency - it’s per-account enforcement - but complete KYC carefully, avoid hedging, stay active, and keep records.
Rules and fees at a glance
- Split: 90/10 Sim Funded; 80/20 Elite Live.
- Risk: EOD trailing floor, enforced in real time.
- Payouts: eligibility and caps depend on plan, size and purchase date.
- Billing: one-time purchases.
- Rules to respect: KYC, no hedging, weekly SIM/evaluation activity and applicable consistency requirements.
- Markets: futures; crypto is a separate product.
Verdict
Tradeify offers a choice between an evaluation route and instant simulated funding. Select adds a choice of payout cadence after passing. Choose the program around its loss limits and withdrawal conditions: a profit target, payout eligibility and the amount actually withdrawable are different figures.
Go in with the fine print in mind. The accounts are simulated; the rules (consistency caps, hedging ban, weekly activity) are fairly strict; and the two persistent complaint areas - KYC declines and approved-then-denied payouts - are worth guarding against. On those terms it’s a strong, adaptable option; just don’t treat the fast-payout marketing as a reason to skip the rulebook.
