Tradeify FX rules that catch traders out
Details from Tradeify FX's rules, checkout and help centre that are easy to miss.
- Classic runs its targets in reverse: 5% in Phase 1, then 10% in Phase 2.
- Daily has no daily loss limit, but its 5% max loss trails the highest CLOSED balance (open profit does not move it) until it locks at breakeven — and the breach check runs on live equity.
- Direct payout lock: the first payout REQUEST, of any size, permanently moves the floor to the starting balance — withdrawing everything leaves zero room.
- Daily funded payouts: a 4% buffer must stay in the account, each payout is capped at 3% of the account size (before the split), and from the second cycle you need +1% new profit first.
- No resets on any plan — a breached account is closed and you buy a new one.
- Evaluation profit never carries over; funded accounts start at the base balance and are close-only until KYC, 2FA and contract signing are done.
- News: evaluations are unrestricted, but funded and Live accounts may not open, close or modify (incl. moving SL/TP) affected instruments from 5 min before to 5 min after red-folder news; a USD event also restricts gold, silver, US indices, oil, BTC and ETH. Profit on any trade that closes or triggers in the window is deducted.
- Live transition is effectively mandatory: declining or not answering within 14 days closes your funded accounts (rewards paid), closes open evaluations without refund and ends purchases on Tradeify FX and Tradeify 247.
- Live Program cuts leverage to 1:30 FX / 1:5 metals / 1:10 indices / 1:3 energies / 1:1 crypto.
- Funded allocation cap is $300K combined (no cap on evaluations); the About page's 'Up to $800k total across accounts' does not match the Funded Trader Agreement.
- Know Your Trader check-ins (AI-guided session or video call, the firm chooses) pause payouts; not completing one within 30 days closes the account.
- Rolling accounts (blowing accounts at max risk and buying new ones until one passes) is a fair-play violation with a permanent ban from both Tradeify FX and Tradeify 247.
- Commission $3 per lot per side on forex, metals and energies; 0.04% per side on BTC/ETH; indices commission-free.
- 24-hour payout processing guarantee: if the firm is late on its side it adds $1,000 to the payout (weekend hours excluded).
- Pro plan exists only as a re-entry evaluation after losing a Live account: Classic rules at 2x the Classic price, $25K/$50K/$100K only — not sold publicly.
- Not available to US residents on any plan; MT5 is the only platform (no MT4, no TradingView).
- Direct $25K was repriced from $209 to $299 around 5 Oct 2026, so it now costs 2.5x the $10K size.

Help centre, Trading rules overview: "Expert Advisors — trade manager EAs (tools that help you size, place and manage trades you decide to take (for example position sizing, break-even, trailing stops or partial closes) and never open a position on their own) are allowed, including ones bought elsewhere and the Tradeify FX Trade Pilot (see the Tradeify FX Trade Pilot article). Automated (algo) EAs are allowed only if you created them yourself; the source file and an explanation of the strategy behind the EA may be requested at any time. Off-the-shelf algo EAs, shared bots and third-party signal execution are not permitted. Trade copiers between your own accounts are permitted." Funded Trader Agreement Annex B, B.19.1(b): "Expert Advisors, scripts and other tools that open positions on their own (“Automated Tools”) may be used only if the Funded Trader created them. On request, including during a Check-in, the Funded Trader must produce an Automated Tool’s source files and explain the strategy behind it.

There is no minimum hold time per trade, but strategies whose results depend mainly on very short holds are banned; the firm judges the overall pattern, and the consequences run from profit removal and payout denial to a breach.
