Tradeify Select: Flex or Daily, Two Very Different Payout Paths

Tradeify reorganized its programs in 2026 (“Tradeify 3.0”), and its Select funded account hides a choice many traders discover at the last moment: two payout policies, Flex and Daily, chosen only once, right after passing the evaluation. The choice is final for that account. Here is the full path, from the evaluation to the funded account, re-checked on the official help center.

Tradeify 3.0: what changed

• The Select 50K profit target is back to 3,000. The reduced 2,500 target was an experiment, and Tradeify said so explicitly.
• No more subscriptions: every plan is a one-time purchase. Existing subscriptions run until cancelled.
• Funded account activation is now instant once the target is reached.

The Select evaluation: the mandatory step before Flex or Daily

Before you pick a payout policy, you have to pass the Select evaluation. It is a single track: everyone trades the same rules, and the Flex or Daily choice only happens after passing. One-time purchase, no subscription, no activation fee, and the funded account activates instantly once the target is reached. If you are reading Tradeify reviews to decide whether this path fits you, start here: the Tradeify rules that decide most outcomes live in the evaluation, not in the funded account.

Update, September 11, 2026: the Select 25K evaluation reset fee moves from 60 to 75 USD. Watch the easiest mix-up between the two programs: 60 USD is still the Growth 25K reset fee, not Select. The Select 50K evaluation reset fee stands at 109 USD. This single amount went back and forth several times in August (95 on the 6th, 109 on the 9th, 95 on the 19th), which is exactly why a prop firm price gets re-read at the source on the day you buy, never in a dated article. The four purchase prices and the two other reset fees are unchanged.

There is no daily loss limit during the Select evaluation: your only guardrail is the End of Day drawdown. In exchange, a 40% consistency rule applies: no single day may represent more than 40% of your total profit. The arithmetic consequence: the evaluation cannot be passed in one day, it takes at least 3 trading days. Tier 1 news trading remains allowed during the evaluation.

Another point many traders discover too late: the drawdown never locks during the evaluation. The floor trails your highest closing balance indefinitely, so profit is never a cushion there. The lock at starting balance + 100 only exists on funded accounts.

Purchase limits worth knowing: a maximum of 15 evaluations per 30-day period, a maximum of 10 resets per evaluation over 30 days, and 5 simultaneous funded accounts. And a breached funded account means buying a full evaluation again, not a simple reset.

From evaluation to funded: what changes the day you pass

Hitting the target does not close the subject, it opens the real choice. Three things change at once, and two of them tighten.

• The Flex or Daily choice becomes final. You make it once, right after passing the evaluation, for that account. To try the other policy, you have to pass a full evaluation again.
• Consistency disappears, locking appears. The 40% rule no longer applies once funded, on either policy. In exchange, the floor can now lock at starting balance + 100, which never happens during the evaluation.
• The frame can tighten. If you pick Daily on a 100K or a 150K, your drawdown drops from 3,000 to 2,500 and from 4,500 to 3,500, and a daily loss limit appears. Your evaluation reference points stop being valid the very day you get funded.

The path does not stop at the funded account either: a transition to live exists, starting at 3 payouts on a single account or 10 cumulative payouts. Selection stays in Tradeify's hands: reaching the threshold does not trigger anything automatically.

Both policies are detailed below, parameter by parameter.

Select Flex: accumulate, then withdraw

The 5-day policy: one payout every 5 winning days. The withdrawable amount is 50% of the account's TOTAL profit (current balance minus starting balance), up to a per-withdrawal cap. No daily loss limit, no consistency rule, no minimum balance.

Update, September 1, 2026: Tradeify changed the per-withdrawal caps on Select accounts, and the switch keys off the account's PURCHASE DATE. The table above shows the grid for accounts bought from September 1, 2026. An account bought before that date keeps the old grid: 1,250, 3,000, 4,000 and 5,000 by size.

90/10 split in the trader's favor. Drawdown lock: same arithmetic as Apex (starting balance + drawdown + 100). On a 50K, the floor locks at 50,100 once the end-of-day balance reaches 52,100, or immediately upon the first payout request.

Select Daily: faster cash, tighter frame

Daily eligibility, payment within 24 to 48 hours. But the frame tightens: a daily loss limit appears, and a buffer acts as a withdrawal floor your balance can never go below.

Update, September 1, 2026: on the Daily side the move goes the other way, the caps go UP on the 50K and the 100K. The table shows the grid for accounts bought from September 1, 2026; an account bought before keeps 600, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,500.

The continuity rule: you can request up to twice the profit earned since the last payout, within the cap. Minimum payout 250: below 125 of profit on the cycle, nothing can be requested. 90/10 split as well.

The shared rule everyone forgets

From the second payout onward, you need positive net profit on the current cycle to request a withdrawal. After a loss, you have to win it back and get positive again. Identical on Flex and on Daily.

The trap: Daily is not “Flex, just more frequent”

• The 100K and 150K drawdowns are tighter on Daily (2,500 versus 3,000, and 3,500 versus 4,500). The fast path is also the hardest path.
• Our reading: Daily's frequent, capped withdrawals mechanically slow down buffer building. And the buffer is what keeps a funded account alive. Flex accumulates, Daily drains.

Contract scaling

On funded accounts only, computed at end of day on the closing balance. On a 50K: start at 2 minis, 3 minis at +1,500 equity, 4 minis at +2,000. During the evaluation, full limits are available from the start.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Tradeify Select evaluation cost?

109 USD for the 25K, 165 USD for the 50K, 265 USD for the 100K and 369 USD for the 150K, as a one-time purchase with no subscription and no activation fee. A reset costs 75, 109, 169 or 239 USD depending on the size. Amounts re-checked at the source on September 11, 2026.

Can you pass the Select evaluation in a single day?

No. The 40% consistency rule means no single day may represent more than 40% of total profit, which forces at least 3 trading days. The rule disappears once the account is funded.

Is the choice between Select Flex and Select Daily final?

Yes. You make it once, right after passing the evaluation, and it is final for that account. To switch to the other policy, you have to buy and pass a full evaluation again.

What is the drawdown difference between Select Flex and Select Daily?

Drawdowns are identical on the 25K and 50K (1,000 and 2,000). On the 100K and 150K, Daily is tighter: 2,500 versus 3,000, and 3,500 versus 4,500. Daily also adds a daily loss limit that Flex does not have.

Does the drawdown lock during the evaluation?

No, never. During the evaluation, the floor trails your highest closing balance indefinitely. The lock at starting balance + 100 only exists on funded accounts, on both policies.
