Tradeify — Overview

Tradeify runs end-of-day trailing drawdown on all account types — the limit only ratchets up at the close, though it is enforced against your balance in real time during the session. Since Tradeify 3.0, every plan is a one-time purchase (no subscriptions, no activation fees) with discounted resets on evaluations. Growth has a DLL and a 35% consistency rule once funded; Select drops the DLL in the eval with a 40% eval-only consistency rule; Lightning skips the eval entirely with a progressive 20/25/30% consistency rule. Sim Funded accounts pay 90/10.

EOD trailing — intraday swings don't raise your floor
One-time fees since 3.0 — no recurring billing or activation fees
90/10 split on Sim Funded accounts
Consistency rules on every plan type once funded (35% Growth, 20–30% Lightning)
Lightning accounts have no resets — a breach means buying a new account

The Funded Trader — Overview

The Funded Trader runs several challenge families with rules that vary by type. Royal is the two-phase flagship: 8%/5% targets, 5% daily / 10% static drawdown, 5 minimum days per phase, unlimited time, EAs and trade copiers allowed, and weekend holding permitted — but no news trading. Knight Pro is a one-phase route: 10% target against a 5% daily (soft-breach) and 8% trailing drawdown that locks at the starting balance, no minimum days (3 profitable days of 0.25%+ required), news trading allowed, anytime 80% payouts, and a 50% Steadfast Gains consistency rule once funded. VIP status raises the split to 95%. Daily drawdown resets at 5pm ET on both.
