Tradeify Daily Loss Limit, Explained
Rules verified 2026-07-15 · official source
Yes — Tradeify enforces a daily loss limit, evaluated on equity (open positions count), resetting at 17:00 Chicago time.
How it works
The limit is a fixed dollar amount per account size, evaluated in real time on equity. Hitting it fails the account.
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.
| Plan | Daily loss limit |
|---|---|
| 25K Growth | $600 |
| 50K Growth | $1,250 |
| 100K Growth | $2,500 |
| 150K Growth | $3,750 |
| 25K Select | $0 |
| 50K Select | $0 |
| 100K Select | $0 |
| 150K Select | $0 |
| 25K Lightning Funded | $0 |
| 50K Lightning Funded | $1,250 |
| 100K Lightning Funded | $2,500 |
| 150K Lightning Funded | $3,000 |
How traders actually breach it
Most daily-loss breaches aren't one big trade — they're revenge sequences: three losers, size up to "get it back", and the fourth trade crosses the line. The limit resets tomorrow; the account doesn't.
TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "$180 of daily-loss room left" 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
Does Tradeify have a daily loss limit?
Yes — a fixed amount per account size. It's evaluated on equity, so open positions count.
When does the Tradeify daily loss limit reset?
At 17:00 in the America/Chicago timezone — the firm's trading-day boundary, not your local midnight.
Do open positions count against the daily loss limit?
Yes — evaluation is on equity, so unrealized losses can trigger a breach even if you never close the trade.
