Tradeify Basics
What is Tradeify?
Tradeify is a proprietary trading firm that provides funded accounts to traders who pass an evaluation. You pay an evaluation fee, reach a profit target without breaking the drawdown rules, and move to a funded account where you keep a share of the profits. The Key facts table above lists Tradeify's current plans and payout terms.
Is Tradeify legit?
Always verify independently before purchasing. Check the firm's official documentation. Read the funded trader agreement carefully before paying any evaluation fee. Prop firm rules, fees, and payout policies change frequently.
Are Tradeify accounts real money or simulated?
Retail prop firm accounts, including those at Tradeify, typically run on simulated infrastructure that mirrors real market data. Payouts are funded from the firm's evaluation revenue rather than from live market profits. The Key facts table above shows how Tradeify's funded accounts are structured.
Is Tradeify regulated?
Prop firms generally operate as technology or contractor companies rather than regulated broker-dealers or FCMs, so they are typically not registered with the SEC, CFTC, FINRA, or FCA. The relationship is governed by the trader agreement, not by securities regulation. Read {name}'s agreement for its exact legal terms before paying.
Account Types
What evaluation models does Tradeify offer?
Tradeify offers evaluation programs in which you reach a profit target while staying inside drawdown limits. Each model differs in account size, target, and drawdown type. The Key facts table above shows which models Tradeify offers right now.
What is the difference between the evaluation and funded account at Tradeify?
The evaluation is the test phase where you must hit a profit target without breaching drawdown rules. The funded account is the phase you graduate into after passing, where you can request payouts based on your trading performance. Rules, drawdown types, and payout mechanics often differ between the two phases.
Does Tradeify offer instant funding?
Some prop firms sell instant funding alongside standard evaluations: you skip the profit-target phase, usually pay more, and often get stricter drawdown or payout terms. Whether Tradeify offers it is covered in the Key facts table above.
Can I run multiple funded accounts at Tradeify?
Running several funded accounts at once is common, often with a per-person cap. Firms usually restrict hedging between accounts and copying trades across them in ways that look like one position split up. The Key facts table above shows the account limit for Tradeify.
Plans & Pricing
What account sizes does Tradeify offer?
Prop firms sell evaluations in several account sizes, from small starter accounts to large ones, and the fee rises with size. Promotional discounts can change the price a lot. See the Key facts table above for Tradeify's sizes and fees and the date they were checked. Current range:$25K - $150K.
Does Tradeify charge monthly fees or one-time fees?
Evaluation pricing follows one of two models: a recurring monthly subscription until you pass, or a one-time fee per attempt. The model affects total cost if you need several attempts. The Key facts table above states which one Tradeify uses.
Does Tradeify offer discount codes?
Prop firms often run recurring promotions around holidays and product launches, usually through promo codes or newsletters. Codes change quickly, so a code from an aggregator may already be expired. Compare Tradeify's discounted price with the standard fee in the Key facts table above.
Profit Targets
What are the profit targets on Tradeify evaluations?
The profit target is the amount you must earn in an evaluation to pass, set as a percentage of the starting balance (commonly 6-10%). A bigger account means a bigger dollar target. Tradeify's targets per plan are in the Key facts table above. Typical target:6-9%.
Do profit targets exist on funded accounts at Tradeify?
Many prop firms drop the profit target once you are funded and focus on drawdown limits and payout eligibility, such as minimum profit and number of winning days. So the goal shifts from hitting a target to staying consistent. Tradeify's funded-phase terms are summarised above.
Does Tradeify evaluate on closing balance or floating equity?
Profit targets are usually measured on closed (realized) P&L, not floating equity, so you must close positions for gains to count toward the target. An open winning trade alone will not pass the evaluation. Confirm Tradeify's measurement basis in the Key facts table above.
Drawdowns: Trailing & Daily
What type of drawdown does Tradeify use?
A drawdown limit caps how much you can lose. The main types are trailing drawdown (the floor rises with your profits), static maximum drawdown (a fixed floor from the starting balance), and a daily loss limit. See the Key facts table above for Tradeify's type and amounts.
Does the drawdown at Tradeify apply to unrealized (floating) P&L?
Drawdown is measured either on equity (including open positions) or on balance (closed trades only). Intraday trailing drawdowns follow unrealized P&L tick by tick, while end-of-day drawdowns update only at session close. Which basis Tradeify uses is shown in the Key facts table above.
What happens when I breach the drawdown at Tradeify?
Breaching the drawdown limit normally liquidates open positions and closes the account. In an evaluation you must buy a new one or pay for a reset, if the firm offers resets. The Key facts table above notes Tradeify's breach consequences.
What is a daily loss limit (DLL) at Tradeify?
A daily loss limit (DLL) caps your loss within one trading day. Breaching it usually suspends trading until the next session instead of closing the account, though some firms treat it as a full breach. Tradeify's DLL amounts are in the Key facts table above.
Consistency Rule
Does Tradeify have a consistency rule?
Many prop firms enforce a consistency rule that limits how much of your total profit can come from a single trading day — typically expressed as a maximum percentage (e.g., 30–50%). This prevents traders from qualifying via one large lucky trade. Check whether Tradeify enforces this rule and the exact threshold.
Does violating the consistency rule fail my account at Tradeify?
Typically, violating the consistency rule blocks a payout request rather than failing the account. You would need to trade additional smaller-profit days to bring your best-day percentage back under the threshold before requesting a payout. Confirm Tradeify's exact policy.
Does the consistency rule reset after a payout at Tradeify?
The consistency clock usually resets after each approved payout, so the next payout cycle starts from zero and earlier big days no longer count against you. Whether this applies to Tradeify is stated in the Key facts table above.
Trading Days, Hours & Holidays
Does Tradeify require a minimum number of trading days?
Many prop firms require a minimum number of qualifying trading days before a payout. A qualifying day usually means you traded and made at least a set minimum profit that day. The exact count and threshold for Tradeify are in the Key facts table above.
Can I trade news events at Tradeify?
Some prop firms restrict trading around high-impact news such as NFP or FOMC, for example by blocking entries for a few minutes either side. Others allow it freely. The news-trading rule for Tradeify is listed in the Key facts table above.
Can I hold positions overnight at Tradeify?
Overnight rules differ by firm and account type. Futures-focused firms often require all positions flat before the daily close, while others allow swing trades held overnight or over weekends. Check the Key facts table above for Tradeify's policy.
Instruments & Markets
What instruments can I trade at Tradeify?
Prop firms offer different markets depending on focus: forex pairs, futures, indices, commodities, or a mix. Futures firms trade CME products like ES and NQ, while forex firms use MT4/MT5 symbols. Tradeify's tradable instruments are in the Key facts table above. Supported platforms:Tradovate, Rithmic.
What are the contract/lot size limits at Tradeify?
Prop firms cap position size to manage risk, usually as a maximum number of contracts (futures) or lots (forex), scaled to account size. Exceeding it can trigger a rule breach. See the Key facts table above for Tradeify's limits per account size.
Automation & EAs
Does Tradeify allow automated trading / EAs?
Algorithmic trading and Expert Advisors (EAs) are allowed at many prop firms, but strategies like HFT, latency arbitrage, and tick scalping are commonly restricted. The permitted scope is set in the trader agreement. Tradeify's automation stance is summarised in the Key facts table above.
Can I automate Tradeify with TradingView via PickMyTrade?

Does Tradeify allow copy trading?
Copy trading rules differ. Many firms allow copying your own trades across your own accounts but ban copying from external sources or signal providers, and some ban it altogether. Confirm Tradeify's policy in the Key facts table above before setting up any copier.
How do I use PickMyTrade's trading time controls with Tradeify?

Can I use Tradeify on Mac?
Mac compatibility depends on which platforms Tradeify supports. Web-based platforms work on any OS. Native applications like NinjaTrader are Windows-only (Mac users typically use Parallels). Check whether Tradeify's supported platforms offer Mac-native clients or web alternatives.
Can I trade Tradeify on mobile?
Mobile availability depends on Tradeify's supported platforms. Many platforms (Tradovate, MetaTrader) have iOS and Android apps. Mobile is generally suitable for monitoring and emergency exits but most traders use desktop for active trading.
