The Tradeify Crypto evaluation process is the sequence of steps a trader completes to move from account purchase on tradeifycrypto.co to a live first payout, covering sign-up, credential delivery, DXtrade setup, phase trading, funded conversion, and Rise KYC. This article documents every stage as sourced from the Tradeify Crypto help center and the DXtrade platform documentation as of May 2026.
Tradeify Crypto launched in February 2026 as the crypto-perpetuals arm of Tradeify Holdings Corp., the Florida-based parent that has processed $125M+ in verified payouts through Tradeify Futures. The research below is sourced entirely from the help center, DXtrade platform docs, and the Trustpilot review pool. Where data is absent or the sample is thin, the unknown is flagged explicitly.
How do you choose a Tradeify Crypto evaluation path?
As of May 2026, Tradeify Crypto offers three evaluation paths: 1-Step, 2-Step, and Instant Funding. The path choice is made at purchase and determines the profit target structure and the number of phases before funded conversion.
| Path | Phases | Profit Target | Time Limit | Consistency Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-Step | 1 | 12% | None | None |
| 2-Step | 2 | 10% then 5% | None | None |
| Instant Funding | 0 | None | — | None |
Five account sizes are available across all three paths: $5,000 / $10,000 / $25,000 / $50,000 / $100,000. Partial verified pricing as of May 2026: the $5K 1-Step is approximately $70 at regular price or $42 with a 40% discount; the $25K 1-Step is approximately $359 regular or $251 with the discount. Pricing for $10K, $50K, and $100K accounts and full Instant Funding pricing have not been publicly confirmed.
The path trade-off is straightforward: 1-Step demands a higher single-phase target (12%) but fewer phases; 2-Step sets a lower Phase 1 target (10%) at the cost of a mandatory second phase (5%); Instant Funding removes the evaluation entirely and carries the highest entry price.
For most first-time Tradeify Crypto traders, the 1-Step path on a $25K or $50K account is the most direct route, one target, one phase, funded conversion on pass.
What happens at sign-up and account setup?
Payment is accepted via card or crypto at the checkout on tradeifycrypto.co. After purchase, Tradeify Crypto emails the DXtrade login credentials, server address, username, and a temporary password, to the address used at checkout. No separate platform installation fee applies; data feed costs are built into the spread.
DXtrade by Devexperts is a browser-based and desktop-compatible platform configured specifically for cryptocurrency perpetuals. On first login, traders should:
- Change the temporary password
- Verify the account size matches the purchased evaluation
- Confirm the displayed drawdown floor (starting floor = account size minus 6%)
- Set preferred chart layout and notifications, DXtrade provides TradingView-style charting natively
Liquidity routes simultaneously through Binance, OKX, and Bybit at the institutional level. Traders see a single aggregated order book on DXtrade; they do not interact with exchange accounts directly.
Available instruments are 60+ cryptocurrency perpetual pairs, with confirmed coverage including BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, and MATIC. Marketing materials reference 100+ pairs but the conservative defensible figure sourced from the Sanity documentation is 60+. Maximum leverage is 5:1 on BTC and ETH, system-enforced at the DXtrade level.
How does the 1-Step evaluation phase work?
The Tradeify Crypto 1-Step evaluation requires hitting a 12% profit target in a single phase without breaching either drawdown limit. As of May 2026, there is no time cap and no consistency rule.
Target thresholds by account size:
| Account | Profit Target (12%) | Starting Drawdown Floor |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $600 | $4,700 |
| $10,000 | $1,200 | $9,400 |
| $25,000 | $3,000 | $23,500 |
| $50,000 | $6,000 | $47,000 |
| $100,000 | $12,000 | $94,000 |
The absence of a consistency rule is the structural differentiator. A trader can reach the full $3,000 target on a $25K account in a single session without penalty. There is no restriction on concentrating gains into one or two candles.
The evaluation ends when either condition is met first: profit target crossed (pass) or drawdown floor breached (fail).
How does the 2-Step evaluation work across both phases?
The Tradeify Crypto 2-Step evaluation runs two sequential phases. Phase 1 requires a 10% profit target; passing Phase 1 unlocks Phase 2, which requires an additional 5% profit target from a fresh baseline.
Phase 1 targets by account size:
| Account | Phase 1 Target (10%) |
|---|---|
| $5,000 | $500 |
| $10,000 | $1,000 |
| $25,000 | $2,500 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 |
Phase 2 targets by account size:
| Account | Phase 2 Target (5%) |
|---|---|
| $5,000 | $250 |
| $10,000 | $500 |
| $25,000 | $1,250 |
| $50,000 | $2,500 |
| $100,000 | $5,000 |
When Phase 1 closes, meaning the 10% target is confirmed, Tradeify Crypto issues new DXtrade credentials for the Phase 2 account. The Phase 2 account starts at the original account size with its own fresh drawdown floor; Phase 1 profits do not carry forward as balance. The 6% trailing drawdown and 3% daily limit apply identically in both phases.
The 2-Step path lowers the single-phase bar (10% vs 12%) at the cost of two evaluation fees and two separate phases. For traders who find 12% uncomfortable in a single phase, the two-step spread offers a lower-pressure entry into each individual phase.
What are the drawdown rules and what do they mean in practice?
Tradeify Crypto uses EOD (end-of-day) trailing drawdown with two hard limits. Both apply identically in evaluation and funded stages.
6% EOD trailing max: The drawdown floor trails the peak account balance and updates once per day at the session reset. Example on a $100K account: if the account peaks at $107,000 at any point during the session, the drawdown floor rises to $100,580 at the end of that day (6% of $107,000 subtracted from $107,000). The floor only moves upward, it never drops back down as the balance decreases.
3% daily drawdown limit: On any given trading day, the account cannot lose more than 3% of the opening balance for that day. This is an intraday cap independent of the trailing floor. On a $100K account, losing $3,000 from the day's opening value will terminate the account for that session regardless of where the trailing floor stands.
Real-time enforcement: Although the trailing floor only updates at the daily reset, enforcement is real-time. If the account balance hits the drawdown floor at any point during the trading session, even before the session closes, the account fails immediately.
Practical implication: a trader on a $100K 1-Step who peaks at $110,000 intraday but does not realize those gains has effectively raised the floor. If a reversal pulls the balance back down to $103,400 (6% of $110,000 subtracted), the account fails, even if the trader's realized PnL was only $3,400. Managing unrealized drawdown against the 6% floor is the central risk-management discipline on DXtrade for Tradeify Crypto.
What happens when the profit target is hit in evaluation?
When the profit target is confirmed, end of session for the 1-Step, or end of Phase 2 for the 2-Step, Tradeify Crypto reviews the account and issues funded-stage DXtrade credentials. There is no activation fee for the funded conversion.
The funded account starts at the original account size (not at the evaluation closing balance). Funded-stage rules mirror evaluation rules with one additional gate before the first payout: the 3-day qualifying window.
What is the first-payout gate and how does it work?
Before the first payout can be requested on a Tradeify Crypto funded account, the trader must complete 3 profitable trading days. Each qualifying day requires a minimum 0.5% gain on the account balance. The gate is an activity check, not a consistency rule, it does not cap how much can be earned on any single day.
Gate mechanics on a $50K funded account:
- Day 1: net gain of $250 or more (0.5% of $50,000), day qualifies
- Day 2: net gain of $250 or more, day qualifies
- Day 3: net gain of $250 or more, gate satisfied, first payout eligible
A day where the account finishes flat or negative does not count toward the 3-day gate, but it does not reset the counter. Qualifying days do not need to be consecutive. The gate is cleared once three qualifying days are accumulated.
This gate does not recur. After the first payout is processed, all subsequent payouts are on-demand with no minimum trading days required.
How does the first payout request work via Rise?
Once the 3-day gate is cleared, the trader initiates the payout request from within the DXtrade dashboard. Tradeify Crypto processes payouts through Rise, a licensed payment processor.
On the first payout only, Rise will prompt for KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, identity document upload and address confirmation. KYC is handled entirely within the Rise interface; no documentation is sent directly to Tradeify Crypto. Once KYC clears, Rise releases the payout.
Payout parameters:
- Minimum payout: $100
- Maximum payout: no stated cap
- Profit split: 80% trader / 20% Tradeify Crypto (flat, no scaling tiers)
- Crypto processing: 1–3 business days
- Bank transfer processing: 3–7 business days
- Weekend processing: available
Community timing reports via Trustpilot include a sub-60-minute first payout and multiple sub-12-hour reports, but those are best-case outcomes that include KYC clearing. Budget 1–3 business days for crypto as the standard planning window.
How do subsequent payouts work?
After the first payout is processed, Tradeify Crypto payouts are on-demand. There is no mandatory waiting period between payout requests and no minimum trading days gate after the first. A trader can request a withdrawal at any time above the $100 minimum, provided sufficient profit balance exists.
The 80/20 profit split is flat across all payout requests, no scaling structure increases the trader's share over time. The maximum aggregate funding across all Tradeify Crypto accounts is $600,000, the highest confirmed cap in the crypto-prop class as of May 2026. Most competing crypto prop firms cap aggregate exposure at $200,000.
What are the most common stops and what do they mean?
Understanding the failure modes prevents avoidable losses.
6% trailing drawdown breach (most common): The account balance hit the EOD trailing floor. This can happen intraday if unrealized gains spike and then reverse. The account fails immediately. No warning is issued. Resolution: purchase a new evaluation.
3% daily drawdown breach: The account lost more than 3% of the day's opening balance in a single session. The account fails for the day. Whether this triggers full account termination or only session lock depends on the daily limit implementation, treat it as a hard termination trigger consistent with industry-standard daily limit enforcement.
Target not reached (no breach): The account is technically still active. Since there is no time limit, the trader can continue trading until the target is hit or a drawdown is breached. There is no clock expiry forcing a new purchase.
3-day gate not cleared: This is not a failure, it simply delays first payout eligibility. The account remains active; the trader continues accumulating qualifying days until three are logged.
What is a realistic eval-to-first-payout timeline?
The timeline varies entirely by trading frequency and account management. A structured estimate:
| Stage | Minimum | Realistic |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-up to DXtrade credentials | Same day to 24 hours | Same day |
| 1-Step eval completion (12%) | 1–5 trading sessions | 2–4 weeks at moderate pace |
| 2-Step eval completion (both phases) | 2–10 trading sessions | 4–8 weeks at moderate pace |
| Funded conversion processing | 1–2 business days | 1–2 business days |
| 3-day payout gate | 3 qualifying days | 3–10 calendar days |
| Rise KYC + first payout (crypto) | Sub-60 minutes (reported) | 1–3 business days |
| Total: 1-Step to first payout | ~3 weeks | 6–12 weeks |
These are planning estimates, not guarantees. A trader who concentrates positions and hits the 12% target in two sessions can clear the full pipeline in under 2 weeks. A conservative trader sizing 0.5%–1% per trade on a $25K 1-Step account will take longer.
There is no clock forcing speed. The absence of a time limit removes the deadline pressure that causes overtrading in evaluation, traders can work at their own pace without a countdown accelerating risk decisions.
One often-overlooked implication of the no-time-limit design: traders who reach 10% or 11% on a 1-Step account and then encounter a difficult trading week do not face the choice of over-leveraging to chase the remaining 1–2% before an expiry. They can simply reduce position size, wait for a better setup, and complete the final percentage with the same disciplined sizing that got them to 10%. This structural patience advantage compounds over a multi-account scaling strategy where rushing any single evaluation wastes both the fee and the accumulated progress.
The bottom line
The Tradeify Crypto evaluation process is well-structured for traders who want a straightforward path from purchase to funded status: single-fee entry, no time pressure, no consistency rule, and an on-demand payout cadence after the first-payout gate clears. The 6% EOD trailing drawdown is the primary discipline, it rewards consistent compounding and punishes overexposure during intraday reversals.
Tradeify Crypto is the right fit for crypto-perpetuals traders who want a clean evaluation environment backed by a verified parent firm ($125M+ in Tradeify Futures payouts), the highest aggregate funding cap in the crypto-prop space ($600K), and a no-surprises payout path via Rise. It is not the right fit for traders who need margin-style leverage beyond 5:1, want a Bybit-native or HyroTrader-style 700+ instrument catalog, or need a free trial or refund period before committing. For those cases, HyroTrader's Bybit integration or Breakout's Kraken-backed structure are worth comparing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Tradeify Crypto 1-Step evaluation work?
The Tradeify Crypto 1-Step evaluation requires hitting a 12% profit target on your chosen account size in a single phase, without breaching the 6% EOD trailing drawdown or the 3% daily drawdown limit. There is no time limit and no consistency rule. Once the 12% target is reached, Tradeify Crypto converts your account to funded status, no second phase required.
What is the profit target for the Tradeify Crypto 2-Step evaluation?
The Tradeify Crypto 2-Step evaluation runs two phases: Phase 1 requires a 10% profit target and Phase 2 requires a 5% profit target. Both phases use the same 6% EOD trailing drawdown and 3% daily limit. Passing Phase 2 converts the account to funded.
What drawdown rules apply during the Tradeify Crypto evaluation?
Tradeify Crypto uses EOD (end-of-day) trailing drawdown with a 6% max trail on peak balance, plus a 3% daily drawdown limit. The drawdown floor only moves upward at the daily reset, but enforcement is real-time, if balance hits the floor intraday, the account fails immediately. On a $100K account the starting floor is $94,000; it rises as peak balance grows, but never falls.
Is there a time limit on the Tradeify Crypto evaluation?
No. Tradeify Crypto imposes no time limit on any evaluation phase, including both 1-Step and 2-Step. A trader can take as many sessions as needed to hit the profit target, provided they do not breach the 6% trailing drawdown or the 3% daily limit.
Does Tradeify Crypto have a consistency rule in evaluation?
No. Tradeify Crypto has no consistency rule during the evaluation phase. A trader can earn 100% of the profit target in a single session. The only gates are the profit target percentage and the drawdown rules.
How does Instant Funding work at Tradeify Crypto?
Tradeify Crypto's Instant Funding path skips the evaluation entirely and provides immediate access to a funded account. There is no profit target to hit before trading begins. Normal funded-account rules apply from day one, including the 6% trailing drawdown, the 3% daily limit, and the 3-day first-payout gate.
What platform do Tradeify Crypto traders use?
Tradeify Crypto runs on DXtrade by Devexperts, configured for cryptocurrency perpetuals. DXtrade provides TradingView-style charting and routes liquidity through Binance, OKX, and Bybit simultaneously. Login credentials are emailed after purchase, no separate platform subscription fee is charged.
What is the first payout gate at Tradeify Crypto?
After converting to funded, Tradeify Crypto requires 3 profitable trading days before the first payout becomes eligible. Each qualifying day must show a minimum 0.5% gain on the account. Once those 3 days are logged, the trader can request a payout via Rise with no further gate.
How long does the Tradeify Crypto first payout take?
Tradeify Crypto processes payouts via Rise. Crypto withdrawals typically arrive in 1–3 business days; bank transfers in 3–7 business days. Trustpilot reviewers have reported sub-60-minute and sub-12-hour first payouts including the KYC step, though those are best-case times. Rise handles the KYC verification on first payout.
What account sizes does Tradeify Crypto offer?
Tradeify Crypto offers five account sizes across all three evaluation paths: $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, and $100,000. The maximum aggregate funding across all accounts is $600,000, the highest confirmed cap in the crypto-prop space as of May 2026.
What happens if I breach the drawdown during the Tradeify Crypto evaluation?
A drawdown breach on the Tradeify Crypto evaluation, either the 6% EOD trailing max or the 3% daily limit, terminates the account immediately. The evaluation fee is not automatically refunded. A new evaluation account must be purchased to re-enter. There is no grace or warning period once the floor is hit.
Are there any fees beyond the initial evaluation cost at Tradeify Crypto?
No. Tradeify Crypto charges a one-time evaluation fee with no monthly subscription, no platform or data feed licensing fee, and no activation fee on funded conversion. The promo code HIPROPTRA is available through the Proptradingvibes affiliate link to reduce the purchase price.
