Tradeify · prop firm journal
A trading journal for Tradeify accounts
daqverse is a trading journal built for ICT and prop-firm futures traders: it tags every trade with its New York kill zone and tracks each prop account's drawdown rules. Tradeify's three account types share one drawdown rule, end-of-day trailing that is enforced in real time, and differ almost everywhere else: Growth has a daily loss limit that grows at 6% profit, Select asks for 40% consistency to pass and then lets you choose a payout path for good, and Lightning skips the evaluation but tightens consistency payout by payout.
This page sets out Tradeify's current rules from its own help center and shows how daqverse keeps each account's version of them beside its trades: the floor and the moment it locks, the daily limit for the session, the consistency share and the days or profit still needed for a payout.
Rules checked on Tradeify’s own site on . Tradeify changes its rules often: their site is the one that counts. daqverse is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Tradeify.
Tradeify rules at a glance
These are Tradeify's Growth and Select evaluations and the Lightning funded account, in the $25K to $150K sizes. A limited $300K Select account has its own figures and is not covered here.
Targets, drawdown and contract limits
There is no time limit on an evaluation, but every Tradeify account, evaluation or funded, needs at least one trade each week from Monday to Friday. Growth can pass on its first day; Select needs at least three trading days because of its 40% consistency rule.
| Size | Profit target (Growth, Select) | Drawdown: Growth | Drawdown: Select | Drawdown: Lightning | Max contracts / micros (Growth, Lightning) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $1,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 | 1 / 10 |
| $50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 | 4 / 40 |
| $100K | $6,000 | $3,500 | $3,000 | $4,000 | 8 / 80 |
| $150K | $9,000 | $5,000 | $4,500 | $5,250 | 12 / 120 |
- Select funded accounts start below the maximum position and scale up with end-of-day equity; a tier once reached is kept.
- A Select Daily funded account has a smaller drawdown at $100K ($2,500) and $150K ($3,500).
End-of-day trailing, enforced in real time, locked when funded
Every Tradeify account trails its drawdown from the end-of-day balance, but checks it against your net liquidation value at every moment: an open loss that touches the limit fails the account. On funded accounts the floor locks at the starting balance plus $100 as soon as the balance has passed the drawdown plus $100, or immediately when you request a payout, whichever comes first. Evaluation drawdowns never lock.
Daily loss limit: a soft pause that can grow
Hitting a Tradeify daily loss limit never fails the account; trading pauses until the next session at 6 PM ET. The Growth evaluation's limit is $600, $1,250, $2,500 or $3,750 by size, and Growth funded accounts start at the same amounts. Once a Growth or Lightning funded account reaches 6% profit, its daily limit rises to match the drawdown from the next session. The Select evaluation and Select Flex have no daily limit; Select Daily has one ($500, $1,000, $1,250 or $1,750).
Consistency by account type
Tradeify's consistency rule compares your biggest single day with your total profit (commissions excluded), and it only decides when you may pass or request a payout; it never fails an account. The percentage starts again after each approved payout.
- Growth: no rule in the evaluation; 35% once funded.
- Select: 40% in the evaluation only (a paid add-on raises it to 50%); none once funded.
- Lightning: 20% for the first payout, 25% for the second and 30% from the third on.
Payouts
Simulated funded accounts pay 90/10. Funded accounts also need more than half of their trades, and more than half of their profit, to come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.
- Growth: five profitable days per cycle above $100 to $250 by size, a minimum balance ($53,000 on a 50K) and a cap that rises with the payout number.
- Lightning: no day count; a profit goal per cycle ($3,000 for the first payout on a 50K) and a $1,000 minimum payout.
- Select Flex: every five winning days, up to 50% of total profit with a cap per payout.
- Select Daily: daily requests once the balance is above a buffer ($2,100 on a 50K), up to twice the profit since the last payout, with a cap.
- Positions must be closed by 4:45 PM ET (12:59 PM ET on holiday half-days); news trading is not restricted.
How daqverse tracks a Tradeify account
daqverse does not connect to Tradeify or your platform. You enter each account's rules, log or import your trades, and the journal works the limits out from them. The numbers are estimates; Tradeify's dashboard is the official record.
The evaluation trails, the funded floor locks
Evaluation: end-of-day trailing that never stops. Funded: end-of-day trailing that stops at the start plus $100, with 'a payout fixes the floor at start + $100' ticked, which is how Tradeify locks it on a payout request.
The daily limit for today
Enter the account's daily loss limit and Live Session's loss meter follows it. When a Growth or Lightning account passes 6% profit and its limit rises, edit the amount; on Select Flex leave it at zero.
35%, 40% or 20%, worked out
Set the account's consistency percentage for its stage. daqverse shows your best day's share of the profit and the total needed for it to fit, before you request the payout.
Payout days and buffers
For Growth or Select Flex, set five payout days at your size's minimum profit. For Select Daily, set the withdrawal cushion to the buffer. daqverse counts days since the last payout and shows what is above the cushion and the floor.
Several accounts, one view
Each Tradeify account keeps its own type, size, stage and rules, and the Accounts page shows the room left on all of them at once.
A weekly reminder of activity
The Calendar marks the days you traded, so a funded account that has not traded this week stands out before Tradeify's one-trade-a-week rule bites.

Questions
Is the Tradeify drawdown end-of-day or intraday?
End-of-day trailing on every account, but enforced in real time: if your net liquidation value touches the limit during the day, the account fails. On funded accounts the floor locks at the starting balance plus $100.
When does the Tradeify drawdown lock?
Only on funded accounts: once the balance has passed the drawdown amount plus $100, or immediately when you request a payout, whichever comes first. The floor then stays at the starting balance plus $100. Evaluation drawdowns never lock.
Does Tradeify have a daily loss limit?
Growth, Select Daily and most Lightning accounts do; the Select evaluation and Select Flex do not. It is always a soft breach: trading pauses until the next session. On Growth and Lightning funded accounts it rises to match the drawdown once the account reaches 6% profit.
What is Tradeify's consistency rule?
Your biggest day compared with your total profit: 35% on Growth funded accounts, 40% on the Select evaluation (50% with a paid add-on), and 20%, then 25%, then 30% across Lightning payouts. It never fails an account; it only decides when you can pass or take a payout.
How do I track a Tradeify Select account in daqverse?
Add it with its size, choose end-of-day trailing for the evaluation and set 40% consistency and three minimum days. After you pass and choose Flex or Daily, advance the account and set the funded floor to lock at the start plus $100, with payout days or a buffer for your path.
Is daqverse affiliated with Tradeify?
No. daqverse is an independent trading journal; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Tradeify and does not connect to their accounts.
