Tradeify Challenge: Simulated Pass Rate, Rules & Real EV (2026)

This page answers three questions for Tradeify: what the actual eval and funded-account rules are, how a real trader profile fares against them across 10,000 simulated runs, and whether the long-run expected value justifies the eval fee. Rules verified as of 2026-07-15. Independent — not affiliated with Tradeify.

Simulated results

Three trader profiles, 10,000 simulated evaluations each against Tradeify's exact rules. Pass rate is the eval only. Payout is conditional on passing. Joint withdrawal is the probability of reaching a first payout end-to-end. P&L is expected value over 50 attempted challenges at the mid-tier account.

Rules explained

How Tradeify's drawdown works

Tradeify uses a trailing (eod) drawdown of 4% of the starting balance. End-of-day trailing only ratchets against your closing equity, which is materially easier than intraday trailing. See trailing drawdown explained for the full mechanics.

How the daily loss limit is calculated

Tradeify has no daily loss limit on the standard evaluation, which is unusually forgiving. The trade-off is that the max-drawdown gate does more of the work of ending losing runs.

Consistency rule

Tradeify has no consistency rule on the standard evaluation. See the consistency rule explained for the full mechanics and how it changes your real pass rate.

Is Tradeify worth it?

Tradeify's Advanced plan uses end-of-day trailing drawdown, which meaningfully raises pass rates versus intraday-trailing competitors. One phase, no consistency rule on the eval, and reasonable payout gates. Solid middle-of-the-road choice — not the cheapest, not the strictest.

Frequently asked

What is Tradeify's trailing drawdown?+

Tradeify uses a trailing (eod) drawdown of 4% of the starting balance. This is the single biggest driver of long-run pass rate for most traders.

What win rate do you need to pass Tradeify?+

Not a fixed number. Our simulator runs three archetypes against Tradeify's exact rules: the balanced 50%-win-rate trader passes 58.5% of the time; the scalper archetype and swing archetype produce meaningfully different numbers on the firm page above. Passing is a function of edge, variance, and how the ruleset punishes lumpy P&L — not win rate in isolation.

How much does Tradeify cost long-term?+

The mid-tier Tradeify evaluation is $130. Over 50 attempted challenges, our balanced-archetype simulation nets $34.6k — that's eval fees paid on failures netted against payouts collected on the joint 20.7% of runs that reach a withdrawal.

Does Tradeify have a consistency rule?+

No consistency rule on the evaluation for the standard plan. Verify current terms — firms add and remove these rules regularly.

Is Tradeify worth it in 2026?+

Tradeify's Advanced plan uses end-of-day trailing drawdown, which meaningfully raises pass rates versus intraday-trailing competitors. One phase, no consistency rule on the eval, and reasonable payout gates. Solid middle-of-the-road choice — not the cheapest, not the strictest.
