Tradeify Growth is a one-step Futures evaluation with no consistency rule and a one-day minimum. It uses a soft Daily Loss Limit and an end-of-day trailing drawdown. After passing, the Growth Sim Funded account requires 35% consistency, five qualifying winning days and a size-specific balance for each payout.
Checked November 4, 2026. I actively trade a 50K Growth account and a 50K Lightning account at Tradeify Futures. That experience informs the practical notes; current prices, limits and payout conditions below are taken from Tradeify's official policies. I keep current payout amounts private.
Growth is the account to understand when you want Tradeify's lowest-cost, fastest evaluation route. The evaluation itself is simple to describe: hit the target without touching the trailing drawdown, and respect the Daily Loss Limit. The funded phase is where most incomplete comparisons go wrong, because the consistency rule and five-day payout gate begin only after the evaluation.
Tradeify Growth rules at a glance
| Size | Price | Reset | Profit target | Daily Loss Limit | EOD trailing drawdown | Max position |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $99 | $60 | $1,500 | $600 | $1,000 | 1 mini / 10 micros |
| 50K | $145 | $95 | $3,000 | $1,250 | $2,000 | 4 minis / 40 micros |
| 100K | $255 | $169 | $6,000 | $2,500 | $3,500 | 8 minis / 80 micros |
| 150K | $369 | $229 | $9,000 | $3,750 | $5,000 | 12 minis / 120 micros |
Growth is a one-time purchase, not a monthly subscription. There is no funded activation fee. Resets are available during evaluation at the fixed prices above; promo codes do not normally reduce reset pricing. A passed Growth account becomes Growth Sim Funded and cannot then be reset.

Can you pass Tradeify Growth in one day?
Yes. The Growth evaluation has no consistency requirement and a minimum of one trading day. If you reach the target while staying inside the risk rules, the evaluation can be passed in that session.
That is a rule possibility, not a recommendation to use the full Daily Loss Limit or contract allowance. On a 50K Growth account, the $3,000 target is 1.5 times the $2,000 trailing drawdown. Trying to finish immediately can force a risk profile that is very different from the one you intend to use after funding.
My practical test is simpler: if the plan only works when I use most of the contract allowance, it is not yet sized for the account. The absence of evaluation consistency gives you freedom to finish quickly; it does not improve the reward-to-drawdown ratio.
Daily Loss Limit versus trailing drawdown
The Growth Daily Loss Limit is a soft breach. Reaching it closes positions and prevents more trading for the session, but it does not fail the evaluation. The limit resets for the next trading day according to Tradeify's reconciliation process.
The trailing maximum loss is the hard account floor. It trails from end-of-day balance, so an intraday equity high does not immediately move it. The active floor is still checked in real time. Touching it fails the account even if the balance would have recovered before the close.
Those mechanics reward a daily stop that sits well inside both limits. On 50K, for example, a personal stop of $300–$500 leaves distance to the $1,250 session lock and the $2,000 account floor. That range is an illustration of buffer management, not a promise that one risk setting suits every strategy.
What changes after you pass?
The Growth Sim Funded account keeps the account-size risk framework but adds payout conditions. Each payout request needs:
- A 35% consistency score or lower.
- Five trading days above the size-specific winning-day threshold.
- The required minimum account balance.
- Continued compliance until Tradeify approves the request.
The five-day counter resets after every successful payout. The consistency calculation also starts again for the new payout period. Growth therefore has no evaluation consistency rule but does have funded consistency. Mixing those two phases is the most common error in Growth summaries.
Growth payout requirements and caps
| Size | Winning day must exceed | Minimum balance | Minimum request | Payout 1 cap | Payout 2 | Payout 3 | Payout 4+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $100 | $26,500 | $250 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| 50K | $150 | $53,000 | $500 | $1,500 | $2,000 | $2,500 | $3,000 |
| 100K | $200 | $104,500 | $1,000 | $2,000 | $2,500 | $3,000 | $4,000 |
| 150K | $250 | $156,500 | $1,500 | $2,500 | $3,000 | $4,000 | $5,000 |
“Minimum balance” and “maximum payout” are different. A current 50K Growth account needs to reach $53,000 to qualify. The first request is capped at $1,500. After a full $1,500 gross withdrawal, the balance would be $51,500, leaving $1,400 above the $50,100 fail line in Tradeify's official example.
Tradeify pays the trader 90% of an approved Growth request. The account must maintain the eligibility balance until approval; continuing to trade while a request is pending can cause denial if the balance falls below the threshold or the account fails. Read the full Growth payout policy before requesting.
How 35% consistency works on Growth
Divide the largest profitable day in the current payout period by total net profit. The result must be 35% or lower.
If your biggest day is $1,000, total profit must reach at least $2,857.15: $1,000 ÷ 0.35. At $2,500 total profit, the score is 40%, so the account is not yet payout-eligible. Another $400 profitable day raises the total to $2,900 and lowers the score to 34.48%.
A consistency miss does not fail Growth. It means you need more net profit without setting a still larger best day. Losing days hurt because they reduce the denominator. The Tradeify consistency calculator handles the exact rule and shows the additional profit needed.
Growth versus Select
| Question | Growth | Select |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation minimum | 1 day | 3 days under standard 40% consistency |
| Evaluation consistency | None | 40%, optional 50% add-on |
| Evaluation DLL | Yes, soft | None on regular 25K–150K |
| Funded payout path | Fixed Growth policy | Choose Flex or Daily after passing |
| Funded consistency | 35% | None on Flex or Daily |
| 50K base price | $145 | $165 |
Growth is cleaner if your priority is passing quickly and paying less. Select is cleaner if a Daily Loss Limit distorts your trading or you want no funded consistency rule. Select makes you control the shape of evaluation profit; Growth makes you control the shape of funded payout profit.

Growth versus Lightning
On 50K, Growth costs $145 and Lightning costs $492. Growth requires the evaluation but can be reset for $95. Lightning starts Sim Funded and cannot be reset. Current Lightning uses 20%, then 25%, then 30% consistency; Growth uses 35% on each funded payout cycle.
The first 50K Lightning profit goal is $3,000 with a $2,000 request cap. Growth needs a $53,000 balance, five $150+ winning days and a $1,500 first cap. Lightning removes evaluation risk; Growth reduces purchase cost and loosens consistency. The dedicated Lightning Funded guide covers that product in detail.
Other rules Growth traders miss
Tradeify's funded microscalping test requires more than 50% of trades and more than 50% of profit to come from trades held longer than ten seconds. It applies after funding, not in evaluation. Missing it blocks payout eligibility but does not fail the account.
Hedging on the same or correlated product group is prohibited across accounts. Personal bots require sole ownership and may be subject to verification; HFT bots are not allowed. Each evaluation and funded account needs at least one trade per Monday-to-Friday week to avoid inactivity action. The current guidelines do not separately ban news trading, flipping, scaling or structured DCA.
The Tradeify rules overview owns these cross-product conduct rules. Read it alongside the product page rather than assuming the Growth table is exhaustive.
My practical view of the 50K Growth account
Growth is the most economical Tradeify account I actively use. The evaluation is direct, and the 50K limits are easy to keep visible: $3,000 target, $1,250 Daily Loss Limit and $2,000 trailing drawdown. The funded phase needs more planning than the sales label suggests because five qualifying days, 35% consistency and the $53,000 balance have to line up.
I would not optimize the evaluation around passing in one day unless that pace already matches the strategy. A better test is whether the same daily risk can survive the funded payout cycle. Growth is attractive because it lets you pass without shaping evaluation profit; its funded rules still punish a payout cycle built around one oversized day.
Who is Growth for?
Choose Growth when you pass evaluations reliably, want a low one-time entry cost, and can respect a Daily Loss Limit. It also fits traders who prefer a 35% funded consistency rule over Lightning's tighter early percentages.
Choose Select instead if the evaluation DLL is the main constraint or you want no consistency rule after funding. Choose Lightning if avoiding evaluation risk is worth several times the Growth purchase price and you can manage stricter consistency.
Bottom line
Tradeify Growth is not complicated once evaluation and funded phases are separated. The evaluation has no consistency rule and can be passed in one day. The funded account has 35% consistency, five qualifying winning days and a minimum-balance gate for every payout.
For 50K, keep the full chain in view: $145 purchase, $3,000 target, $1,250 soft Daily Loss Limit, $2,000 hard trailing drawdown, then five $150+ days and a $53,000 balance. If that sequence fits your normal risk, Growth is the strongest value route into Tradeify. If one of those constraints forces you to trade differently, the cheaper sticker price is not the deciding number.
