Tradeify vs Elite Trader Funding: the rules, side by side
Rules verified 2026-07-15 · official source
Tradeify uses a trailing (end-of-day) drawdown with a daily loss limit; Elite Trader Funding uses trailing (intraday) and no daily loss limit. Same market (futures) — the rule differences below are the real decision.
The differences that fail accounts
Drawdown style is the biggest difference: Tradeify is trailing (end-of-day), Elite Trader Funding is trailing (intraday). An intraday trail follows open profit — it punishes letting winners breathe. EOD/static lines don't move mid-session, which most traders find far easier to manage.
Daily loss: Tradeify enforces a daily cap; Elite Trader Funding doesn't. No cap means one uncontrolled session can spend the whole account.
Minimum days: Tradeify 1 vs Elite Trader Funding 5 in the evaluation. Consistency: Tradeify 35% (Funded Growth); Elite Trader Funding None.
