Tradeify Consistency Rule, Explained
Rules verified 2026-07-15 · official source
Tradeify caps your best single day at 35% of total profit at payout on the funded account. One huge day doesn't fail you — it just doesn't count fully until you dilute it with more trading days.
What the rule actually blocks
The math: if your best day is $2,000 and the cap is 35%, you need total profit of at least $5,714 before that day stops being "too big". You don't lose the money — you keep trading (or keep waiting) until the ratio clears.
On Tradeify the cap applies at PAYOUT, not during the evaluation — you can pass on one big day, but you can't get paid on one.
| Phase | Best-day cap |
|---|---|
| Growth Evaluation | None |
| Funded Growth | ≤ 35% of total profit |
How traders actually breach it
The trap isn't breaking the rule — it's planning a payout around a P&L number the rule won't release yet. Traders count the money before checking the best-day ratio.
TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "you're $220 from the line" beats finding out from a breach email. Tracking is free for your first account.
Recent Tradeify rule changes
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').
FAQ
What is the Tradeify consistency rule?
Your best single day can't exceed 35% of your total profit at payout on the funded account. It delays payouts/passing rather than failing the account.
Does breaking the consistency rule fail my Tradeify account?
No — it's not a breach. It blocks the pass/payout until more trading days dilute the oversized day below the cap.
