Tradeify has 12 regular purchase combinations across Growth Evaluation, Select Evaluation and Lightning Funded, plus a limited Select 300K V2 cohort.
Checked August 28, 2026: all three families are one-time purchases. Growth and Select require an evaluation. Lightning skips evaluation and starts as Sim Funded. The 300K V2 is a limited Select release with its own risk and account-limit rules. Elite is a later live-capital stage, not a fourth product available at checkout.
This guide separates the purchase, evaluation, Sim Funded and Elite phases. That distinction matters because the drawdown, consistency rule, payout gate and account limits change by phase. For a broader verdict on the firm, read the Tradeify review.
What Tradeify account types can you buy?
As of August 28, 2026: Tradeify sells Growth Evaluation, Select Evaluation and Lightning Funded in 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K sizes. Select also has a limited 300K V2 release. Advanced is a legacy product and is not a current purchase option.
| Product | Purchase phase | Next phase | Minimum trading days | Reset? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Growth Evaluation | One-step evaluation | Growth Sim Funded | 1 in evaluation | Yes, during evaluation |
| Select Evaluation | One-step evaluation | Choose Flex or Daily | 3 in evaluation | Yes, during evaluation |
| Lightning Funded | Direct to Sim Funded | Lightning Sim Funded | No minimum | No |
Growth is the lower-cost evaluation with a soft daily loss limit and no evaluation consistency rule. Select removes the daily loss limit during evaluation but applies 40% consistency and a three-day minimum. Lightning costs more because it removes the evaluation step. A failed Lightning account requires another purchase.
How much do the regular Tradeify accounts and Select 300K V2 cost?
As of August 4, 2026: Tradeify publishes the following one-time purchase prices. Growth and Select have paid evaluation resets. Lightning has no reset.
| Product | 25K | 50K | 100K | 150K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Growth purchase | $99 | $145 | $255 | $369 |
| Growth reset | $60 | $95 | $155 | $215 |
| Select purchase | $109 | $165 | $265 | $369 |
| Select reset | $60 | $109 | $169 | $239 |
| Lightning purchase | $345 | $492 | $660 | $796 |
| Lightning reset | Not available | Not available | Not available | Not available |
Tradeify charges no activation fee on current accounts. Purchases and resets are final. Reset credits earned through TradeifyTV do not expire, while normal discount codes do not apply to resets. Checkout promotions can change without warning, so use the published list prices above as the stable comparison baseline.
The verified standing bundle is narrow. Exactly five identical Growth 25K, Growth 50K, Select 25K or Select 50K evaluations bought in one checkout receive 5% off automatically. It does not cover 100K, 150K, Lightning or groups of two to four. See the Tradeify multiple-accounts guide before stacking purchases.
How does the Growth Evaluation work?
As of August 2026: Growth is a one-step evaluation with no consistency rule, one minimum trading day and no time limit. Its daily loss limit is a soft stop, while the EOD trailing drawdown is the hard failure line.
| Growth size | Profit target | Soft DLL | EOD drawdown | Max minis / micros |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,500 | $600 | $1,000 | 1 / 10 |
| 50K | $3,000 | $1,250 | $2,000 | 4 / 40 |
| 100K | $6,000 | $2,500 | $3,500 | 8 / 80 |
| 150K | $9,000 | $3,750 | $5,000 | 12 / 120 |
Passing Growth creates a Growth Sim Funded account at the nominal starting balance. Evaluation profit does not carry. Growth Sim Funded then adds a 35% payout consistency rule and requires five winning days per payout cycle. Those are funded rules, not evaluation requirements. The full request minimums and caps are in the Tradeify payout-rules guide.
How does the Select Evaluation work?
As of August 2026: Select is a one-step evaluation with a 40% consistency rule, at least three trading days, no daily loss limit and no time limit. A trader permanently chooses Select Flex or Select Daily after passing.
| Select size | Profit target | DLL | EOD drawdown | Max minis / micros |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,500 | None | $1,000 | 1 / 10 |
| 50K | $3,000 | None | $2,000 | 4 / 40 |
| 100K | $6,000 | None | $3,000 | 8 / 80 |
| 150K | $9,000 | None | $4,500 | 12 / 120 |
| 300K V2 limited | $14,000 | $4,000 | $8,000 | 16 / 160 |
The 300K V2 costs $349 while stock remains, requires KYC before purchase, cannot be reset and is capped at three per user. Accounts bought on or after August 27, 2026 use V2. Older V1 accounts keep their original parameters.
Select Flex removes funded consistency and the daily loss limit on the regular 25K–150K cohort. It requires five winning days, then limits a request to 50% of total profit and the size-specific cap. Select Daily adds a soft daily loss limit and a required buffer, then allows daily eligibility under a two-times-fresh-profit limit and hard cap. The permanent choice deserves its own comparison; use the Select Flex vs Select Daily guide.
How does Lightning Funded work?
As of August 2026: Lightning is a direct-to-Sim-Funded purchase with no evaluation and no minimum trading-day count. It cannot be reset. Current accounts use progressive payout consistency of 20% for payout one, 25% for payout two and 30% from payout three.
| Lightning size | Soft DLL | EOD drawdown | Max minis / micros | Purchase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | None | $1,000 | 1 / 10 | $345 |
| 50K | $1,250 | $2,000 | 4 / 40 | $492 |
| 100K | $2,500 | $4,000 | 8 / 80 | $660 |
| 150K | $3,000 | $5,250 | 12 / 120 | $796 |
Lightning payout goals reset after each approved request. The first goal is $1,500, $3,000, $6,000 or $9,000 by size. Later cycles require $1,000, $2,000, $3,500 or $4,500 in fresh profit. This path fits a trader who values immediate Sim Funded access enough to accept full-price replacement after a breach.
What changes between evaluation, Sim Funded and Elite?
As of August 2026: Tradeify rules must be read by phase. An evaluation tests qualification. Sim Funded controls payouts. Elite uses live capital and a different split.
| Phase | Purpose | Main limit | Profit split | What happens next |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | Pass target and risk rules | Product-specific target and drawdown | No payout | Activate Sim Funded |
| Sim Funded | Earn under payout policy | Five standard accounts; up to three V2 300K accounts can raise the total to eight | 90/10 | Possible Elite consideration |
| Elite | Trade live capital | Up to five Elite accounts; no Sim coexistence | 80/20 | Daily requests above required capital |
Tradeify may consider a trader for Elite after three payouts on one account or ten total payouts across plans. The threshold does not guarantee timing or selection. Once selected under the current program, transition is mandatory. Evaluations and Sim Funded accounts close, and each funded account with at least one payout becomes its own Elite account. Read the Tradeify Elite and live-accounts guide before planning around that move.
Which Tradeify account fits each trading style?
Growth fits traders who want the cheapest current starting price and can respect a soft daily stop. Select fits traders who prefer no evaluation DLL and can pass a 40% consistency test. Lightning fits experienced traders who want to skip evaluation and accept that a breach means buying again.
| Priority | Best starting path | Reason | Main drawback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lowest purchase price | Growth 25K | $99 one-time purchase | Soft DLL and funded consistency |
| No DLL during evaluation | Select | All Select evaluations omit the DLL | 40% consistency and three days |
| No evaluation | Lightning | Starts Sim Funded | No reset and higher price |
| No funded DLL or consistency | Select Flex | Cleaner risk rule set | Five winning days and payout caps |
| Daily payout eligibility | Select Daily | Eligible after buffer and fresh-profit tests | Soft DLL and dual request limit |
Nominal account size is not usable risk. The drawdown is the risk budget that matters. A 150K label with a $4,500 or $5,250 floor is not equivalent to 150K in personal brokerage capital. Pick the rule set your normal losing session can survive, then pick the size.
Which platform connection should you choose?
As of August 2026: Tradeify offers Tradovate, Rithmic and WealthCharts connections at checkout. The connection cannot be changed after purchase without buying another account.
| Connection | Compatible front ends | Key restriction |
|---|---|---|
| Tradovate | Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView | TradingView requires its own plan where applicable |
| Rithmic | Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart, R|Trader | No TradingView or NinjaTrader; Sierra Chart is paid separately |
| WealthCharts | WealthCharts | Connection is WealthCharts-only |
ProjectX is discontinued. Platform choice does not alter the account price, but it changes the interfaces available to trade. Check the execution workflow before checkout, especially if a copier or custom tool depends on one connection.
What rules apply across every Tradeify account?
As of August 2026: current Tradeify products use an EOD trailing floor that updates from the highest end-of-day balance and is enforced in real time. Touching the floor is a hard breach. A soft daily loss limit pauses trading until the next session unless the hard floor is also touched.
News trading is allowed. Positions must close by 4:45 PM ET and cannot remain open through the 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM maintenance break or over a weekend. Same-direction copying among accounts you own is allowed, while hedging the same instrument or product group across accounts is prohibited. The Tradeify rules guide covers automation, microscalping and correlated products.
The bottom line
Tradeify is a fit for futures traders who want one-time pricing and a choice between a low-cost evaluation, a flexible Select path or direct Sim Funded access. The limited 300K V2 adds more nominal scale and wider drawdown, but also adds a daily loss limit and removes resets.
Skip Tradeify if an EOD trailing floor, a discretionary Elite selection that triggers a mandatory transition or a locked broker connection conflicts with your workflow. Look for a firm with a static drawdown, an optional live step or broader connection portability instead.
