How to Pass Tradeify: 40% Days, Then Pick Daily or Flex

Tradeify is a one-step Select evaluation (you choose Daily vs Flex after you pass), a Growth plan with no listed eval consistency, and Lightning instant-funded. The Select 50K is the same $3,000 / $2,000 shape you see everywhere. The thing that is not the same is the 40% evaluation consistency on Select — a $1,400 green day on a $3,000 pass is already illegal — and the fact that Daily and Flex payout rules are different games once you are funded.

This is the catalog we have on file, the contract math, and a playbook you can copy. Verify on tradeify.co. Account pages: Tradeify guides.

The accounts

Select Daily and Select Flex share the evaluation. The table’s Daily vs Flex rows describe the funded path, not two different combines.

Caps scale: 25K is 1 mini / 10 micros. 100K is 8 / 80. 150K is 12 / 120. 10 micros = 1 mini. Opposite or correlated hedges (long MES / short NQ) are prohibited across every account you control. Flatten by 4:45 PM ET. Auto-flatten is not a fail; slippage on the flatten can still hurt trailing drawdown. Funded: one trade per week or the account can go inactive. Funded microscalping: more than 50% of trades and more than 50% of profit must come from holds longer than 10 seconds. Do not use the daily loss limit as a stop — slippage can still breach the trail.

Funded payouts (90% split).

• Select Flex: every 5 winning days at a min day-profit ($100 / $150 / $200 / $250). Cap: 50% of balance up to $1,250–$5,000 by size. No minimum balance listed.
• Select Daily: exceed the buffer ($1,100 / $2,100 / $2,600 / $3,600), then take up to 2× profit above buffer, capped ($600 / $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,500). You cannot withdraw below the buffer.
• Growth: 5 winning days at the min day-profit, balance must reach $26,500 / $53,000 / $104,500 / $156,500. 35% funded consistency.
• Lightning: first payout goal 6% of starting balance, then 4% / 3.5% / 3% by size. Min payout $1,000. Consistency ladder 20/25/30.

Highest-probability math

Select’s 40% cap is the whole Combine. On a 50K:

• Finish at $3,000 → biggest legal day = $1,200.
• A $1,500 NQ runner on 2 minis fails the eval even if max loss is untouched.
• Growth can legally print that $1,500 eval day — and then 35% funded consistency will punish the same habit later.

Path A — micros until the 40% cap is irrelevant

50K Select, $2,000 max loss, cap 4 minis / 40 micros:

• 2 MNQ × 20 pts = $80 → 25 attempts.
• 5 MNQ × 20 pts = $200 → 10 attempts.
• 4 NQ minis × 20 pts = $1,600 → one stop and you are done.

Tickets of $400–$700 keep every day under 40% without thinking. That is the high-odds path. 25K Select is even tighter on size (1 mini / 10 micros) — there is no “load the boat” option. The 25K is a micro account. Trade it that way.

Path B — one good entry with leverage

1 NQ mini, 30 points = $600. Legal, useful, still a ticket. 4 minis × 30 points = $2,400. That is 80% of the 50K target and a Select fail. Lightning has no eval, but a $2,400 day on a 50K first-payout 20% ladder is also a problem (20% of $2,400 is not how that rule works — 20% of total profit toward that payout). Split Lightning the same way you would split a 40% eval.

Use a mini only after a micro buffer, same dollar stop. If you cannot fit that stop on 1 NQ mini, you do not take the mini.

Creative ways that are Tradeify-shaped

1. Choose Daily vs Flex on paper before you pass. Daily is a buffer machine ($2,100 on the 50K) — good if you like grinding then skimming 2× the excess. Flex is five $150 days and a 50%-of-balance cap — good if you already trade that rhythm. Mixing the two after you are funded is how payout tickets bounce.

2. 4:45 flatten is earlier than other firms. If you trade the last hour, your last entry needs an exit plan, not a hope the auto-flatten is kind.

3. 25K is a different product. 1 mini. A 20-point NQ stop is $400 of a $1,000 max loss. Four of those and the 25K is over. Default to 2–4 MNQ.

4. Growth’s “no eval consistency” is bait. You can pass ugly. You cannot get paid ugly (35%, five winning days, balance target). Trade Growth eval as if 35% already applied.

5. Lightning: you did not pass, you bought funded. First goal is 6%. On a 50K that is $3,000 — coincidentally a Combine target — under a 20% first-payout consistency cap. Tickets, not a hero day. Lightning typically has no resets. Size like you cannot buy another one this afternoon.

6. Holds > 10 seconds on funded. If your edge is a 3-second scalp, this is the wrong firm for funded. The rule is 50% of trades and 50% of profit.

7. Household cap: 5 sim-funded accounts. Stacking six is not a loophole.

8. DLL is not a stop. Trail plus slippage plus a news tick is how people “stopped at the DLL” and still breached.

Worked Select 50K

• Size: 3–6 MNQ. Stop $90–$150.
• Day stop: two losses or +$700 (under $1,200).
• Shape: 5–8 days to $3,000.
• After pass: if Flex, start banking $150 days immediately (you will need five). If Daily, keep micros until $2,100 buffer is cleared, then skim.

Copy-paste playbook

FIRM: Tradeify
ACCOUNT: Select 50K (name Daily or Flex after you pass)
TARGET: $3,000
MAX LOSS: $2,000 EOD trailing
EVAL CONSISTENCY: no day > 40% of total profit (Select)
CAP: 4 minis OR 40 micros (25K = 1 mini / 10 micros)
FLATTEN: 4:45 PM ET weekday. Be flat before the bell, not at it.

SIZE
- Default: 3–6 MNQ (25K: 2–4 MNQ). Dollar stop $90–$150.
- After +$500: one A+ can be 1 mini with the SAME dollar stop.
- Never fill 4 minis on a 50K eval. Never fill 1 mini on a 25K unless the stop still equals micros dollars.

DAY
- One window. No midday.
- Stop: two losses OR +$700 on Select 50K.
- No third trade.

AFTER PASS — PICK ONE
- Flex: 5 winning days at $150 (50K). Request 50% of balance up to the cap.
- Daily: clear $2,100 buffer (50K). Do not withdraw below it.
- Growth: trade eval as if 35% already applies. Then 5 winning days + balance target.
- Lightning: first goal 6% under 20% consistency. Tickets. No hero day.

ALWAYS
- No MES/NQ hedges. No DLL-as-stop. One funded trade per week.
- Funded: >50% of trades and profit from holds > 10 seconds.
