Growth Evaluation: trailing (end-of-day) max loss of $1,000, $600 daily loss (soft).
Where is my drawdown line on the Tradeify 25K Growth?
Your line sits at $24,000, so you can lose $1,000 more before this Tradeify account fails.
How much can I lose today on the Tradeify 25K Growth?
You can lose $600 more today before the $600 daily limit trips. Resets at 17:00 Chicago time. Whether open positions count toward it isn't confirmed in the firm's docs — assume they do and stay conservative. This is a soft limit — it pauses the day, it doesn't fail you.

Growth Evaluation
- Profit target
- $1,500
- Max loss
- $1,000Trailing (end-of-day) — Trails your end-of-day balance — it only moves up when you close a day at a new high.
- Daily loss limit
- $600
- Min trading days
- 1 days
- Consistency rule
- None
- Max loss trails your END-OF-DAY balance for the whole evaluation — drawdown locking applies only to Sim Funded accounts, never evaluations (Tradeify's own help center) — and it's enforced in real time, so open losses can breach it intraday.
- The daily loss limit is a SOFT breach — hitting it pauses you for the day but does not fail the account. The trailing max loss is the hard line.
- No consistency rule in the Growth evaluation — it can be passed in a single day.
Funded Growth
- Profit target
- None — funded, keep the rules
- Max loss
- $1,000Trailing (end-of-day) — Trails your end-of-day balance — it only moves up when you close a day at a new high, then locks $100 above your starting balance once you've earned the buffer.
- Daily loss limit
- $600
- Min trading days
- 5 days
- Consistency rule
- No single day may exceed 35% of total profit
- Funded (Sim Funded) Growth keeps the EOD trailing max loss (hard breach) and the daily loss limit (soft breach — pauses the day). On Sim Funded the trail LOCKS: once your failure floor reaches $100 above your starting balance, it stops trailing for good.
- Payouts need the 35% consistency rule (best day ≤ 35% of total profit — it resets after each approved payout) plus 5+ profitable trading days. 90% split in your favor.

Lightning Funded
- Profit target
- Set by the firm — figure not yet verified (see notes)
- Max loss
- $1,000Trailing (end-of-day) — Trails your end-of-day balance — it only moves up when you close a day at a new high, then locks $100 above your starting balance once you've earned the buffer.
- Daily loss limit
- None
- Min trading days
- None
- Consistency rule
- No single day may exceed 20% of total profit
- Max position
- 1 contracts (10 micros)Advisory — the most you can hold at once; released as your balance grows.
- Lightning is INSTANT-FUNDED — there's no evaluation; you trade the funded account from day one, and there's no minimum number of trading days to a payout.
- Max loss uses an END-OF-DAY trailing max drawdown, based on your account balance at the END of each trading day — intraday fluctuations don't move the line (it steps up only at the daily close). Like every Tradeify Sim Funded account, the trail LOCKS once your failure floor reaches $100 above your starting balance — after that it stops trailing for good.
- The $25K Lightning has NO daily loss limit — the EOD trailing max drawdown is the only line.
- Max position size on the 25K is 1 contract (10 micros). You must choose EITHER minis OR micros — you cannot hold both.
- Progressive consistency: the rule STARTS at 20% for your first payout (no single day over 20% of total profit) and gradually increases with each payout after that. We track the 20% first-payout floor.
- Profit target for payout eligibility is published by Tradeify via a linked table not captured here, so no numeric target is encoded (shown as unverified, not 'none').

- 2026-07-15 Drawdown locks corrected per Tradeify's own pages: EVALUATION accounts (Growth and Select) never lock — 'Drawdown only locks on Sim Funded accounts' (the previous Growth-eval lock overstated room). ALL Sim Funded accounts (Growth, Select, Lightning) lock at start+$100: the EOD trail follows your peak end-of-day balance until the failure floor reaches Starting Balance + $100, then stops — the missing Select and Lightning funded locks are now encoded (they previously understated room).
- 2026-07-13 Added Lightning Funded (25K/50K/100K/150K) — single-phase instant-funded (no evaluation): end-of-day trailing max drawdown ($1,000 / $2,000 / $4,000 / $5,250) anchored to the end-of-day balance, a SOFT daily loss limit (none on 25K; $1,250 / $2,500 / $3,000) that pauses the day rather than failing you, max position 1 / 4 / 8 / 12 contracts (minis OR micros, not both), and a progressive consistency rule starting at 20% for the first payout. Profit target is published via a linked table Tradeify didn't quote inline, so it's held off (unverified, not 'none').
- 2026-07-06 Initial rule set encoded (Growth 50K): end-of-day trailing max loss locking at breakeven+$100; soft daily loss limit (pauses the day, doesn't fail you); no evaluation consistency rule; 35% consistency at the funded payout stage.
- 2026-07-06 Rules verified against Tradeify's help-center content. Correction: funded Growth payouts require 5+ profitable trading days (alongside the 35% consistency rule, which resets after each approved payout).
- 2026-07-06 Expanded Growth to all four sizes (25K/50K/100K/150K) and added the Select plan (25K–150K): no daily loss limit, a 40% consistency rule in the evaluation, 3 minimum trading days, and no consistency rule once funded.
