Tradeify Payout Rules (Caps, Timing and Rise by Plan)
- Tradeify pays traders 90% of profits from Sim Funded accounts, and approved payouts are paid within 24 hours (checked 2026-11-04). Evaluation accounts cannot request payouts, and the rules differ across Growth, Select Flex, Select Daily and Lightning.
- Caps and minimums depend on the plan, size and payout number. Select caps depend on the purchase date: for 50K bought on or after 2026-09-01, Flex is $2,500 and Daily is $1,250 per day.
- Outside weekdays 8:00 to 17:00 ET and on US holidays, payment can take up to 72 hours. Payouts are received through Rise; the specific bank methods and fees for your country are Under review.
What are the Tradeify payout rules for each plan?
Your Tradeify payout rules depend on which plan your Sim Funded account comes from. Growth requires 5 profit days, Select Flex allows up to half of profit every 5 winning days, Select Daily allows a request every day, and Lightning allows a request once you reach the profit target for that payout.
The table below shows 50K accounts. Each plan section further down lists every size.
| Item (50K) | Growth | Select Flex | Select Daily | Lightning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| When you can request | Every 5 profit days (days over $150) | Every 5 winning days ($150 days) | Every day | When you reach the profit target for that payout |
| Consistency | 35% | None | None | 20% for the 1st, 25% for the 2nd, 30% from the 3rd |
| Minimum payout | $500 | $250 | $250 | $1,000 |
| Cap per payout | $1,500 to $3,000 (rises with payout count) | 50% of profit and $2,500 | 2x profit since the last payout and $1,250 | $2,000 ($2,500 from the 4th) |
| Balance requirement | Balance of $53,000 or more | None | Stay above the $2,100 buffer | Profit of $3,000 for the 1st, $2,000 after that |
| Daily loss limit (DLL) | Yes | No | Yes ($1,000) | Yes ($1,250) |
The Tradeify profit split on Sim Funded accounts is 90% to the trader and 10% to Tradeify. It becomes 80% once you move to the real-capital Elite Live program.

Which Tradeify payout rules apply to every plan?
At Tradeify you can request payouts from a Sim Funded account after passing an evaluation, or from a Lightning account bought without an evaluation. Profit in an evaluation account cannot be paid out. Sim Funded trading is simulated, but profit that meets the conditions leads to real payments.
Requests cannot be edited or canceled
Once a Tradeify payout request is submitted, you cannot change the amount or cancel it. Each account can have only 1 open request at a time. If you hold several accounts, the conditions and requests are separate for each account.
Micro-scalping rule (10-second rule)
To request a payout from a Sim Funded account, you must meet 2 conditions: more than 50% of your trades must be held longer than 10 seconds, and more than 50% of your profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds. Evaluation accounts are not subject to this rule.
If you do not meet it, you cannot request a payout, but the account is not failed. Add more trades held longer than 10 seconds to raise the ratio, then request.
See the Tradeify 10-second rule and hedging rules
Requesting a payout locks the drawdown
On a Tradeify Sim Funded account, the max drawdown can lock at the starting balance plus $100 ($50,100 on 50K). It locks when the end-of-day balance exceeds the drawdown amount plus $100, or when you request a payout, whichever comes first.
Requesting while your balance is still small sharply narrows your room for losses. For example, on Select Flex 50K with a balance of $51,000, you request 50% of profit, which is $500. The drawdown locks at $50,100, leaving $400 between it and the post-payout balance of $50,500.
The max drawdown is checked in real time, including open losses. Touching it even briefly fails the account, and recovering later in the day does not undo it.

What are the Tradeify Growth Funded payout rules?
Tradeify Growth has no consistency rule during the evaluation; instead, a 35% consistency rule applies to payouts from the Sim Funded account (Growth Funded). Every payout requires both 5 profit days and the 35% rule.
5 profit days and the 35% consistency rule
A profit day is a day when daily profit exceeds the amount for your size: over $100 for 25K, $150 for 50K, $200 for 100K and $250 for 150K. After 5 such days you can request, and the count resets to zero after each payout.
The 35% rule means your best day must be 35% or less of total profit for that cycle. If total profit is $2,000, your best day must be $700 or less. Exactly 35.00% passes; you only cannot request when it is above. Commissions are not included in the profit calculation.
Required balance and minimum payout
| Size | Profit day threshold | Required balance | Minimum payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | Over $100 | $26,500 | $250 |
| 50K | Over $150 | $53,000 | $500 |
| 100K | Over $200 | $104,500 | $1,000 |
| 150K | Over $250 | $156,500 | $1,500 |
For accounts bought before 2025-09-12 8:00 AM ET, the required balance is $52,100 for 50K, $103,600 for 100K and $155,100 for 150K.
Cap per payout (rises with payout count)
| Payout | 25K | 50K | 100K | 150K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | $1,000 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| 2nd | $1,000 | $2,000 | $2,500 | $3,000 |
| 3rd | $1,000 | $2,500 | $3,000 | $4,000 |
| 4th and later | $1,000 | $3,000 | $4,000 | $5,000 |
Purchases before 2025-09-12 use a different table that steps up through the 6th payout, with a limit of $25,000 per account from the 7th payout. If you hold an older account, check the previous conditions in the official help center.

What are the Tradeify Select Flex and Select Daily payout rules?
With Tradeify Select, you choose Select Flex or Select Daily when you pass the evaluation. The choice is permanent for that account and cannot be changed later. Neither has a consistency rule, and the split is 90%.
See how to choose between Tradeify Flex and Daily
Select Flex: up to 50% of profit every 5 winning days
Select Flex lets you request each time you collect 5 winning days. The winning-day amount is $100 for 25K, $150 for 50K, $200 for 100K and $250 for 150K. You can request up to 50% of total profit (current balance minus starting balance), subject to a cap for each size.
Select Flex has no minimum balance requirement, and the minimum payout is $250. From the 2nd payout, net profit for that cycle must also be positive. There is no DLL on the Sim Funded account.
Select Daily: request every day
Select Daily lets you request every day once the conditions are met. In exchange, your balance has a buffer, and you cannot take a payout that goes below it. The buffer is $1,100 for 25K, $2,100 for 50K, $2,600 for 100K and $3,600 for 150K. The official 300K description gives a $6,100 buffer as a $306,100 balance, so the floor is the starting balance plus the buffer.
Each payout can be up to 2x the profit made since your last payout. In other words, half of the amount must be new profit earned after the previous payout. A daily cap also applies, and the minimum payout is $250. Select Daily Sim Funded accounts have a DLL: $500 for 25K, $1,000 for 50K, $1,250 for 100K and $1,750 for 150K.
Caps differ for purchases before and after 2026-09-01
On 2026-09-01, Tradeify changed the payout caps for Select Flex and Select Daily. The new caps apply to accounts bought on or after 2026-09-01. Older sources may show the previous caps, so check by purchase date.
| Size | Flex (on or after 2026-09-01) | Flex (before) | Daily per day (on or after 2026-09-01) | Daily per day (before) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,250 | $1,250 | $600 | $600 |
| 50K | $2,500 | $3,000 | $1,250 | $1,000 |
| 100K | $3,500 | $4,000 | $1,750 | $1,500 |
| 150K | $4,500 | $5,000 | $2,500 | $2,500 |
For accounts with the 50% add-on in the evaluation, the Flex cap is $2,000 for 50K, $3,000 for 100K and $4,000 for 150K. The 300K Select has separate terms: Flex is capped at 50% of profit and $10,000, and Daily at $4,000 per day (the 300K price and purchase limits conflict between official articles and are Under review).
Select scaling (contract limit increases)
Select Sim Funded accounts start with fewer contracts, and the max contracts rise with profit. It is based on the end-of-day balance, applies from the next day, and once raised, the limit does not go back down. Growth and Lightning can use the full contract limit from day 1.
| Size | Start | +$1,500 | +$2,000 | +$3,000 | +$4,500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | 1 / 10 | 2 / 20 | - | - | - |
| 50K | 2 / 20 | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | - | - |
| 100K | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | 5 / 50 | 8 / 80 | - |
| 150K | 3 / 30 | 4 / 40 | 5 / 50 | 8 / 80 | 12 / 120 |

What are the Tradeify Lightning Funded payout rules?
Tradeify Lightning starts as a Sim Funded account from day 1, with no evaluation. There is no minimum number of trading days for payouts; once you meet the profit target for that payout and the consistency rule, you can request right away from the dashboard.
Profit target for each payout
The target for the 1st payout is $1,500 for 25K, $3,000 for 50K, $6,000 for 100K and $9,000 for 150K. From the 2nd payout it is $1,000 for 25K, $2,000 for 50K, $3,500 for 100K and $4,500 for 150K. Profit above the target in one cycle does not carry over to the next.
Consistency loosens with each payout
Lightning consistency is 20% for the 1st payout, 25% for the 2nd and 30% from the 3rd (purchases on or after 2025-09-12; earlier purchases use 20% for every payout). On a 50K account with exactly $3,000 of profit for the 1st payout, your best day must be $600 or less. Going over does not fail the account; trade more days to lower the ratio and you can request.
Minimum payout and cap per payout
| Size | Minimum payout | Cap, payouts 1 to 3 | Cap, 4th and later |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,000 (fixed every time) | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| 50K | $1,000 | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| 100K | $1,000 | $2,500 | $3,000 |
| 150K | $1,000 | $3,000 | $3,500 |
On 50K, even after reaching the $3,000 target for the 1st payout, you can request only up to $2,000. The difference stays in the account and does not count toward the next target. Lightning cannot be reset, so losing the account means buying a new one.

How do you receive Tradeify payouts? (Rise and Plane)
Tradeify payouts are mainly received through a payment service called Rise. Plane is an alternative only for cases where Rise cannot be used.
Registering with Rise
You register with Rise through an invitation from Tradeify Holdings, Corp. Rise requires identity verification, address verification and tax forms. The tax form for people living outside the US is W-8BEN (W-9 for US persons). This Rise check is separate from Tradeify identity verification (KYC) and must be done before your first payout.
Tradeify primary sources do not cover how payouts are taxed where you live. Tax treatment is not specific to one firm, so check with your local tax authority or a tax professional.
Receiving methods
| Method | Official description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rise: bank transfer | ACH, 1 to 3 business days | Methods, timing and fees for your country: Under review |
| Rise: crypto | Listed as a receiving method | Supported coins and fees: Under review |
| Rise: local currency | Listed as a receiving method | Which currencies are available: Under review |
| Plane | Bank-to-bank transfer, up to 7 days, processed manually | Only if Rise is unavailable due to country restrictions or you do not pass Rise review |
Receiving as a company (LLC or similar)
Tradeify lets you receive payouts in a company name if you complete KYB (business verification) at payout time. Photo ID for every shareholder holding 25% or more is required, among other items. Tradeify allows 1 account per person, so you cannot create separate personal and company accounts.
Payout fees
Whether Tradeify charges a fee on payouts was not stated in the official information we checked, so it is Under review. Fees for sending from Rise to your bank and currency conversion rates are also not in official information. Before receiving, check the Rise screen and your own bank terms.

Why can a Tradeify payout be blocked or delayed?
Based on the official help center, the main reasons a Tradeify payout cannot be requested or gets held are listed below. Most do not fail the account; you can request again once you meet the conditions.
- Not meeting the 10-second rule (more than 50% of trades and profit from holds over 10 seconds)
- Exceeding the consistency rule (Growth 35%, Lightning 20%, 25% or 30%)
- Fewer than 5 profit days or winning days (Growth, Select Flex)
- Going below the required balance (Growth) or buffer (Select Daily), or not reaching the minimum payout
- A previous request on the same account is still open
- Tradeify KYC, the KYT interview or Rise identity verification is not complete
What can lead to forfeited profit or account suspension
Breaking the hedging ban puts every related account in violation, and profit from the violation period is forfeited. Hedging covers not only long and short in the same product but also correlated products, such as long ES and short NQ, and positions across your own accounts.
Sharing an account, letting someone else trade, paying in another person's name (not allowed even with family consent) and multiple profiles can also lead to suspension. If the KYT interview is incomplete or your answers are inconsistent, payouts may be held.
See the Tradeify hedging ban and full list of prohibited conduct
A chargeback (reversing a payment through your card issuer) immediately freezes every account and permanently bans future purchases. Contact support about payment problems.

How do you move to Tradeify Elite Live, and what changed in the payout rules?
At Tradeify, repeated payouts from Sim Funded accounts make you eligible to be considered for the real-capital Elite Live program. This applies to accounts bought on or after 2025-12-03; earlier purchases use a separate program called Legacy Live.
Conditions for consideration
The minimum is 3 payouts on 1 account, or 10 payouts in total across all plans (counted from your last move to Live if you have one, otherwise from your first purchase). Meeting this does not move you automatically; the decision comes from an overall review. Tradeify says most traders do not move as soon as they meet the conditions.
What happens when you move
When you move, all Sim Funded and evaluation accounts are closed. Only accounts with at least 1 payout move to Elite Live, up to 5 accounts. Profit not paid out from Sim Funded accounts does not carry over, and Live accounts start at a $0 balance.
Before moving, decide whether to withdraw any eligible profit from your Sim Funded accounts. The official rules say that if you are not accepted for Live, you cannot return to the sim stage. Live accounts also do not allow overnight holding.
| Size | Max drawdown | Balance that triggers the lock | Max contracts (start, after passing DD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,500 | $1,600 | 1 / 10, 2 / 20 |
| 50K | $2,000 | $2,100 | 2 / 20, 4 / 40 |
| 100K | $3,000 | $3,100 | 4 / 40, 8 / 80 |
| 150K | $4,500 | $4,600 | 6 / 40, 12 / 120 |
| 300K | $6,000 | $6,100 | 8 / 60, 10 / 100 |
Elite Live payouts
The Elite Live split is 80% to the trader and 20% to Tradeify, and you can request every day. There is no DLL. A payout that brings the balance to $0 closes the Live account. Requests made before the lock are processed the next business day after end-of-day adjustment. If you lose the account, you can rejoin by buying a new evaluation after a wait of up to 4 weeks.
Purchases before 2025-12-03 (Legacy Live)
Under Legacy Live, you move to 1 Live account after 4 payouts. Sim payouts plus the amount moved to Live have a lifetime cap of $100,000. Withdrawing the starting balance requires 20 trading days with at least $200 profit each day; the split is 90%, and 80% on profit above the starting balance.
Payout rule change history
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2025-09-12 8:00 AM ET | Lower contract limits, new Growth required balances, Lightning consistency changed from a fixed 20% to steps of 20%, 25% and 30% |
| 2025-12-03 | Later purchases use Elite Live only (earlier purchases can choose Legacy Live) |
| 2026-09-01 | New payout caps for Select Flex and Select Daily (later purchases) |
The figures in this article were checked in the Tradeify official help center on 2026-11-04. Before requesting, check the official Payout Policy for the conditions that match your purchase date.
