Tradeify rules explained (2026)
A complete breakdown of Tradeify Growth Funded rules — end-of-day trailing drawdown, a daily loss limit, and the 35% consistency cap that blocks more payouts than any other rule in the industry.
End-of-day trailing drawdown
Tradeify Growth Funded accounts use end-of-day trailing drawdown. The floor only moves after the trading session closes, based on your closed balance. Open positions do not affect the floor during the day. If you are up $1,500 on an open trade at noon and give it all back by session end, your floor has not moved — unlike Topstep's intraday trailing where that $1,500 of unrealized gain would have permanently raised the floor.
This makes Tradeify significantly more forgiving for traders who hold through intraday volatility. The practical tradeoff: EOD trailing means you can have a terrible morning, recover, and end the day flat without touching the floor. On an intraday account at the same firm, the morning drawdown would count against you permanently.
On the 50K Growth Funded account, the drawdown is $2,000. Starting at $50,000, the floor begins at $48,000. Every day you close with a profit, the floor rises by the same amount — up to the lock point.
Where the floor locks
The Tradeify trailing floor locks $100 above your starting balance. On a 50K account, once your end-of-day closed equity has risen to $50,100, the floor freezes there permanently and never trails again. Reaching this lock point eliminates the trailing risk entirely — you only need to stay above $50,100 going forward.
The path to the lock point on Tradeify EOD is more predictable than on an intraday account because open equity spikes don't raise the floor. If you end each day with steady gains, you can lock the floor in a relatively small number of sessions.
The $1,250 daily loss limit
Tradeify funded accounts carry a $1,250 daily loss limit on the 50K account. If your account drops $1,250 from the start of a session, trading is halted for the day. This is a protective rule — it prevents a single catastrophic session from consuming a large portion of your drawdown buffer. On a $2,000 drawdown, one $1,250 session would consume 62.5% of your total risk budget.
Contrast this with Apex Intraday, which has no daily loss limit on funded accounts. If your sizing discipline is reliable, the DLL is invisible. If you have a history of revenge trading after early losses, the DLL is actually an asset.
The 35% consistency cap — the hardest rule in the industry
Tradeify funded accounts apply a 35% consistency cap — meaning your best single trading day cannot exceed 35% of your total net profit at payout time. This is the tightest consistency cap of any major futures prop firm. Apex and Topstep both cap at 50%. Bulenox caps at 40%. Tradeify sits at 35%.
The math is unforgiving. A $1,000 best day requires at least $2,857 total profit before a payout will clear (since $1,000 ÷ 0.35 = $2,857). A $2,000 best day requires $5,714. A $3,000 day — which is a perfectly reasonable session on a funded account — means you need over $8,500 in total profit before that day drops under 35%.
The evaluation consistency cap is 40%, which is slightly more forgiving. When you transition to funded, the cap tightens to 35%. A trading approach calibrated around the evaluation rules may need adjustment before the funded payout becomes accessible.
See the full consistency rule guide for the calculation method and strategies to dilute a large day before requesting a payout.
Payout requirements
Tradeify requires a minimum of 5 trading days before your first payout request. The 35% consistency cap is the more demanding constraint in practice — most traders hit 5 days well before the concentration ratio drops below 35%. Budget for more trading days than the minimum if your profit history has any single dominant session.
When Tradeify makes sense
Tradeify's EOD drawdown is one of its strongest attributes. If you are a position trader, swing trader within the session, or someone who lets trades breathe intraday, EOD trailing eliminates the risk of having a profitable open position inadvertently move your floor. The cost is the 35% consistency cap — the tightest in the industry — which requires disciplined session sizing to keep any single day under 35% of cumulative profit.
Tradeify fits traders who: (1) trade multiple moderate-sized sessions rather than one or two large ones, (2) prefer EOD drawdown for intraday flexibility, (3) are comfortable with the added daily loss limit as a position-sizing discipline.

What is the trailing drawdown on Tradeify?
Tradeify Growth Funded accounts use end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown. The floor only recalculates after the trading session closes based on your closed balance — open trades do not move the floor during the session. On a 50K account, the drawdown is $2,000, meaning the floor starts at $48,000.
Does Tradeify have a daily loss limit?
Yes. Tradeify Growth Funded accounts have a $1,250 daily loss limit on a 50K account. If your account drops $1,250 from the day's starting balance, you are locked out for the rest of that session. This functions as a protective cap on single-session losses.
What is the Tradeify consistency rule?
Tradeify applies a 35% consistency cap on funded accounts — the tightest cap of any major futures prop firm. Your best single trading day cannot exceed 35% of your total net profit at payout time. A $1,000 best day requires at least $2,857 in total profit before a payout clears.
Where does the Tradeify trailing floor lock?
The Tradeify Growth Funded floor locks $100 above your starting balance. On a 50K account, once your end-of-day closed equity reaches $50,100 and stays there, the floor freezes permanently at $50,100. Before that point, every profitable EOD session raises the floor.
How is the Tradeify evaluation consistency rule different?
During the Tradeify evaluation, the consistency cap is 40% — slightly looser than the funded 35%. When you get funded, the cap tightens to 35%. This means a strategy that passed the evaluation may need adjustment to clear payout on the funded account.
How many trading days before a Tradeify payout?
Tradeify requires a minimum of 5 trading days before requesting a payout. The consistency rule must also be met — the 35% cap often takes longer to satisfy than the minimum day count.
What account sizes does Tradeify offer?
Tradeify offers Growth Funded accounts. The 50K account has a $2,000 drawdown and $1,250 daily loss limit. Tradeify also offers Select and Lightning account types with different rule configurations — verify the specifics for your account type against Tradeify's current terms.
How does Tradeify compare to Apex and Topstep?
The key differences: Tradeify uses EOD trailing (Apex has both; Topstep is intraday only). Tradeify's consistency cap is 35% vs 50% at Apex and Topstep — materially harder to satisfy. Tradeify has a daily loss limit; Apex intraday does not. See the full comparison at the links below.
