Tradeify: Funded payouts need most trades held over 10 seconds

On funded accounts over half of your trades and over half of your profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds. If not you cannot request a payout, though the account is not failed.

Tradeify: Opposite positions across your accounts or related products count as hedging

A long on one account and a short on another in the same product group, such as ES against NQ, is a hedge. Every involved account can be set to violation and the profits from that period forfeited.

Tradeify: End of day drawdown is still enforced in real time

The drawdown floor only moves at the close, but your net liquidation value including open losses is checked against it all day. Touching it once fails the account even if you recover.

Tradeify: Requesting a payout locks the drawdown floor

On funded accounts the floor locks at starting balance plus $100 once you are $100 past the drawdown amount or as soon as you request a payout. A large withdrawal can leave little room above that fixed floor.

Tradeify: Each account needs at least one trade every week

Evaluation and funded accounts must each place a trade Monday to Friday every week. Idle accounts can be marked inactive, though Tradeify says it will message you first.

Tradeify: Bot users may have to prove sole ownership on a live video

Tradeify scans for matching orders on other accounts and can ask for a live video of you starting the code on your own PC. A bot shared with others or also run at other firms breaks the policy.

Rule Check answers

What Rule Check reads when it calls this firm compatible or a conflict. Open one to read the rule in the firm’s own words.

Can you trade the news?Yes

“We do not have any rules against or guidelines around trading news events.”

Can you run an EA or a bot?Restricted

Allowed on all accounts only for bots you solely own and do not share, used only at Tradeify and not across other firms, and not high-frequency. Tradeify may ask for proof of ownership, including a live video of you enabling the code on your own PC.

“At Tradeify, we allow the use of bots and algorithms under certain conditions: ... While you may use the bot on your personal accounts, using it across multiple firms is against Tradeify's policy.”

Can you copy trades?Yes

Copied positions must be in the same direction; opposite positions on the same or a correlated product across your accounts are a hedging violation.

“Yes, as long as the positions are in the same direction. Copy trading is permitted.”

Can you trade from a VPS?Restricted

After a normal login you may trade from one at your own risk.

“You cannot log in with VPN/VPS. After logging in normally, you may use VPS for trading at your own risk.”

Can you trade through a VPN?Restricted

You cannot log in through a VPN.

“You cannot log in with VPN/VPS.”

Can you hold positions overnight?No

All account types including Live. A position may be held within one session (6:00 PM to 4:45 PM ET) but must be flat by 4:45 PM ET (12:59 PM ET on holiday early-close days). Positions left open are auto-closed without failing the account.

“All positions must be closed by 4:45 PM Eastern Time each trading day. You cannot hold positions overnight or swing trade.”

Can you hold over the weekend?No

All account types.

“No. All positions must be closed before Friday's market close (4:45 PM ET). You cannot carry positions from Friday into the Sunday evening session.”

Is there a consistency rule?Yes

Select Evaluation: 40% to pass (no consistency rule once funded on Select Flex or Select Daily). Growth Sim Funded: 35% for payouts. Lightning Funded: 20% first payout, 25% second, 30% after (20% flat for accounts bought before 12 Sep 2025). Growth Evaluation has none.

“Growth Sim Funded Accounts must follow a 35% Consistency Rule. ... Select Evaluation Accounts must follow a 40% Consistency Rule during the evaluation phase only.”

Minimum trading days3 days

Select Evaluation (minimum 3 days because of the 40% consistency rule). Growth Evaluation can be passed in 1 trading day.

“In summary: SELECT Evaluation requires more trading days (minimum 3) due to the consistency rule”

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.
