Tradeify
The disqualifier was wrong and is withdrawn. We carried PROFIT_DELETE against this firm, and its own payout policy says the opposite in as many words: above the per-request cap "the remaining profit stays in your account for future payouts". Its forfeiture clause exists, and it is the ordinary kind — "any breach of this Section 6.7" — a penalty for conduct the agreement lists in advance, which is not the same as taking back money earned by trading normally. What stands is what this row always described and never had a code for: it markets end-of-day drawdown while enforcing the breach continuously intraday, its own agreement failing the account if the balance drops below the limit "at ANY point". Growth accounts carry a 35% consistency rule, 5 minimum profitable days, and require half your profit to come from trades held over 10 seconds.
Its NFA registration (0575972) belongs to Tradeify Brokerage LLC, a different entity from Tradeify Holdings Corp which runs the product. A weekly trading requirement appears in the funded agreement but not on the marketing pages.
Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.
This firm publishes its floor by account size — see the cited table below.
Judged, clean of all seven hard bars, and the scorecard still came in under the bar. Nothing here is an accusation — it is a firm we would not open an account with, and the card says on which axes it fell short.
What they published
“These are hard caps — even if you have earned more profit (for example, the $9,000 Payout 1 Profit Goal on a $150K account), you can only withdraw up to the amount shown for that payout number; the remaining profit stays in your account for future payouts.”“Any breach of this Section 6.7 will result in every account involved in the breach being placed in violation status, and in forfeiture of any profits generated during the period of the violation, whether or not those profits have been requested for payout.”Scorecard

Plan by plan
4 of this firm’s challenges were read plan by plan, with a citation behind every answer. See them side by side →
No consistency rule at all when funded, undone by a mandatory live transition that drops any progress made after the last payout.
The evaluation floor trails at the daily close and never locks, and the same live transition deletes post-payout progress.
At the two largest sizes the drawdown gets worse when funded, and the firm's own page says leftover profit both carries over and does not.

What this firm published
Everything below is quoted from a page we opened, on the date shown. The quotes are in the firm’s own language, exactly as published — never edited, never shortened, never swapped for a translation. On the Spanish edition our own rendering appears underneath each one, unquoted and marked as ours: the quotation marks on this site mean the words are the firm’s, and nothing we wrote ever wears them. Where we have not read enough to put a number on an axis, we say so instead of guessing.
2/5
Can you even pass?
Almost nobody who pays for an evaluation ever reaches a funded account, so this is the part of the product most customers actually buy. Every firm advertises its profit target; none of them advertises that target next to how much you are allowed to lose while chasing it.
3/5
Can you keep the money?
The drawdown takes the account away; the payout rules take the money. Answered by whichever of the two we can measure and is worse — they are two ways of losing the same thing, so a good half cannot pay for a bad one.
3/5
Is anyone behind it?
A named company, a market, and rules you could read before paying. These three do not substitute for one another — a company you can sue does not stop existing because the account is a simulation — so this is the average of the ones we could measure, not the worst.
How hard the test is

Ten per cent to make against ten to lose is a coin flip sold as an exam.

“A: No, there is no time limit to complete a Growth Evaluation. Your account remains active as long as you keep your account active and don’t breach the trailing drawdown.

“A: Yes, Growth Evaluation can be passed in just 1 trading day because there is no consistency requirement. You simply need to hit the profit target while staying within the drawdown and daily loss limits. This is the fastest evaluation option - SELECT requires a minimum of 3 trading days due to its 40% consistency rule.”Cuts both ways: it costs you time, and it also stops an account passing on one lucky afternoon you could never repeat.

“All Tradeify accounts use EOD Trailing Drawdown.

“The table shows the EOD balance required to trigger the drawdown lock. The lock can also trigger immediately when you request a payout - whichever comes first. Once locked, the drawdown floor becomes fixed at $100 above starting balance (e.g., $50,100 for 50K, $100,100 for 100K, $150,100 for 150K) and never moves up again.”The difference between a danger with an end date and one that never ends.

“If you have a Growth Sim Funded $50k account and the balance reaches the minimum required balance of $53,000 to request a payout, you can request up to a $1,500 payout. This leaves your remaining balance at $51,500. Remember, in this example, your balance cannot go below $50,100 without "failing" the account. You ARE able to take out that amount, but you would leave yourself with $1,400 in drawdown room.”Taking your money out should not leave you closer to losing the account.

“A: Yes, Growth Evaluation DOES have a Daily Loss Limit (soft breach). The limits are: $600 (25K), $1,250 (50K), $2,500 (100K), $3,750 (150K). If you hit this limit, trading is stopped for the day but your account is not failed. This differs from SELECT Evaluation, which has NO daily loss limit during the evaluation phase.”“Starting a 100K Growth account: Starting balance: $100,000 Daily Loss Limit: $2,500 Max Trailing Drawdown: $3,500 from high water mark If you lose $2,500 in one day, the DLL triggers and trading pauses.

“The Trading Day count resets to zero after each successful payout.”“After an approved payout, the consistency % will reset and you will need to maintain consistency % for the period up to the next approved payout request.”The floor is not the only thing a withdrawal moves, and the rest of it is never on the same page.

“Growth: Has NO consistency requirement. You can make 100% of your profit in a single day and still pass, which is why you can complete Growth in just 1 trading day.”“If your biggest day exceeds the percentage limit, you do not meet the consistency requirement yet and will need to continue trading smaller profitable days before requesting a payout. Any percentage at or below your limit meets the rule - 19.97% meets a 20% rule, and exactly 20.00% meets it too. Only a figure strictly above your limit fails. This encourages disciplined and steady trading behavior. Growth Sim Funded Accounts must follow a 35% Consistency Rule.”we read the page that should answer this and it does not

The six axes above ask whether the firm can take your money or refuse to pay it. These rules ask something else — whether you can trade your way — and the right weight depends on who is reading: a minimum holding time decides the account for a scalper and is invisible to anyone else, while the weekend rule is the reverse. A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.

“Note: Tradeify reserves the right to move you to a Live Funded Account at any time after a successful payout. Tradeify will contact you via email regarding this decision.”One of these questions is scored and it is not here. “Does the cap rise with the account” sits on the cash axis, next to the cap itself, because it has a right answer: a bigger account that pays the same cheque has handed you a larger number and the same money. The three below are different. A two-million ceiling is the whole point of the product for one reader and irrelevant to someone who wants one clean payout, so the firm’s sentences are here and the weight is yours.

A single number would be wrong for half of you, and would look decided. The firm’s own sentences are here; the judgement is yours.
How it grows
What makes the account get bigger, how big it can get, and whether the path ends at a real market or at a larger simulation.
What makes the account growprofit—
“Your contract limits are based on your End of Day equity (account balance at market close) When your EOD equity reaches a scaling trigger threshold, your limits automatically increase the next trading day Scaling triggers are cumulative - once you reach a higher tier, you retain those limits even if your balance fluctuates”How large it can getNo such thing in this plan.—
“Scaling is the same - Both policies use identical contract scaling structures as your account equity grows.”Where the path endsat a real market—
“Both lead to live trading - Neither policy is "better" than the other. They're designed for different trading styles, but both provide a clear path to live funded trading.”One of these questions is scored and it is not here. “Does the cap rise with the account” sits on the cash axis, next to the cap itself, because it has a right answer: a bigger account that pays the same cheque has handed you a larger number and the same money. The three below are different. A two-million ceiling is the whole point of the product for one reader and irrelevant to someone who wants one clean payout, so the firm’s sentences are here and the weight is yours.

With SELECT, your only risk limit during evaluation is the End of Day trailing drawdown.”“A: It depends on your payout policy. Select Daily funded accounts have a DLL ($500 for 25K, $1,000 for 50K, $1,250 for 100K, $1,750 for 150K). Select Flex (5-Day) funded accounts do not have a DLL - only the Max Trailing Drawdown applies.”“Elite Live accounts include fixed drawdowns, expanded contract limits, and no Daily Loss Limit (DLL).”A generous percentage measured on live equity is not generous — it is the same number with a trapdoor under it.

“All accounts and services currently offered by the Company are one-time purchases. The Company does not bill on a subscription, renewal, or other recurring basis for any evaluation account, Simulated Funded Account, or Tradeify Elite Live account currently offered, and no action by the Trader is required to prevent future charges.”“7.5 Cancellation: The Trader may cancel any active subscription at any time through the Trader’s account dashboard or by contacting the Company at [email protected]. Cancellation will stop future subscription renewals; however, no refund (in whole or in part) will be issued for any subscription period that has already commenced or for any one-time fee already paid.”The company behind it
If it goes wrong, which company do you claim against, and under whose laws?
The company you contract withTradeify Holdings, Corp.no changeno change4/4
“This Evaluation Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between you, the “Trader,” and Tradeify Holdings, Corp. and its affiliates, successors, and/or assigns (collectively, the “Company,” “Tradeify,” “we,” or “us”).”With no named company there is nobody to sue.

“This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any disputes arising under this Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration in Florida in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA).”A claim in the Czech Republic and a claim in St Vincent are not the same claim.

“Tradeify is a registered trademark of Tradeify Holdings Corp.”Signing with a company other than the brand’s owner separates who sold to you from who answers to you.

Named people can be looked up. A company on its own cannot always be.
Almost no firm here has a financial regulator, because selling simulated evaluations is not a regulated activity anywhere. Of the 114 firms we scored by hand, 96 sat in the bottom two rungs of backing for this reason. So we do not count it against anyone — it only adds when a firm genuinely has one.

Do your orders reach a market, or is all of it a simulation?

“The Company does not hold a broker-dealer license and does not provide brokerage services; all Tradeify Elite Live accounts are issued through and facilitated by NinjaTrader and GFF Brokers, third-party regulated brokerages.”Almost nobody names one, because almost no account reaches a market. It adds when present.
Conditions to reach a real marketnot published0.40/2
“These thresholds are internal benchmarks used by Tradeify’s risk management team and do not create any right or obligation to be transitioned to Live. Tradeify may, in its sole discretion, transition a Trader to Live earlier or later than these thresholds, or not at all.”Promising a route to a real market without publishing the conditions is promising nothing.
We read the rules of every plan it sells and issued a verdict on each one.
