End-of-day trailing drawdown

Overview

Tradeify is a futures firm based in Boca Raton, Florida, and it has recently added a forex arm on MT5. The futures side is the main business: one-time-fee evaluations and instant funded accounts on Tradovate, WealthCharts or Rithmic through Tradesea. It suits day traders who want an end-of-day drawdown and a choice between passing fast and getting paid fast.

How the evaluation works

Growth: a 6% target with an end-of-day trailing drawdown of about 4% on smaller accounts. There's a daily loss limit and no consistency rule, so you can pass in one day. From $99 for 25K.
Select: the same 6% target and end-of-day drawdown, no daily loss limit, and a 40% consistency rule in the evaluation, which means at least three days. From $109 for 25K.
Lightning Funded: no evaluation. You pay more up front ($492 for 50K) and start funded with an end-of-day drawdown and a daily loss limit.

None of these charge an activation fee when you pass.

Rules worth knowing

All positions have to be closed by 4:45 PM ET, so there's no overnight or weekend holding. Growth funded accounts carry a 35% consistency rule, and Lightning has one too. Select funded accounts drop the consistency rule but cap each payout. Hedging is banned, and bots and copy trading come with conditions.

Getting paid

The split is 90%. Growth and Lightning pay every 5 days. Select lets you choose at the funded stage: daily payouts with a daily loss limit and a smaller cap, or payouts every 5 days with no daily limit and a bigger cap. After three approved payouts you can qualify for Tradeify Elite, the firm's live program. Payouts go by bank, crypto or Rise.

Scores from the sites traders use, and our summary of what they're saying, checked 6 October 2026.

Tradeify is one of the most reviewed futures prop firms and most traders who review it are happy: 4.5 on Trustpilot from about 4,700 reviews and 4.6 on Prop Firm Match from about 200. Reddit's prop firm forums mostly rank it near the top for reliability. The complaints are a minority, and they centre on KYC checks and accounts closed for suspected fraud rather than on payouts being late.

What traders like

Fast payouts. This is the most common praise. Many traders say money reached their Rise wallet within an hour or two, with few compliance delays.
Clear rules and a clean dashboard. Reviewers describe the rules as transparent and realistic, and like the built-in journal and end-of-day drawdown.
Helpful support. Live chat and support staff get regular credit for quick, useful answers, and Discord mods are described as active.
No activation fee. One-time pricing with no activation fee comes up often, along with the instant funding accounts.

Common complaints

KYC rejections and lockouts. Several reviewers on Trustpilot, Forex Peace Army and Prop Firm Match say their KYC was rejected or their access was cut over suspected suspicious activity after passing, often without a clear reason. Some say support called the decision final.
Refunds for blocked traders. A few international traders say they could not get refunds after Tradeify would not fund them.
Rules that cap payouts. Some find the 35% to 40% consistency rule and the payout caps on smaller accounts restrictive.
Platform glitches. A few report losses during Tradovate or TradingView outages without compensation.
