PREAMBLE

1. TRADER APPOINTMENT
1.1 Independent Contractor Status: The Company hereby appoints the Trader as an independent contractor to manage and execute electronic trade orders on the Company's proprietary trading platforms. The Trader acknowledges and agrees that they are not an employee or agent of the Company and shall not represent themselves as such.

1.3 Approved Platforms: The Trader shall utilize only the trading platforms and tools explicitly sanctioned by the Company. Any deviation from this requires the Company's prior written consent.
1.4 Surveillance and Compliance: The Company utilizes advanced surveillance systems to monitor all trading activities. Suspicious or non-compliant trading behaviors may result in immediate account restrictions or termination.

1.6 Documentation and Compliance: The Trader agrees to promptly furnish any documentation or information the Company requests, including but not limited to tax documents, identity verification, and trading records. The Trader also agrees to comply with all Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements as mandated by the Company.

2. COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES OF TRADER
2.1 Compliance: The Trader commits to familiarizing themselves with and strictly adhering to the Company's trading guidelines, procedures, and other directives.
2.2 Accuracy of Information: The Trader guarantees that all personal and professional information provided to the Company is accurate and up-to-date. Any changes must be reported within seven (7) days.
2.3 No Legal Hindrances: The Trader confirms they have no legal or contractual restrictions that might hinder their performance under this Agreement.
2.4 Exclusive Use of Account: The Trader acknowledges that the managed trading account provided by the Company is solely for use on the Company's platform.
2.5 Proprietary Data: All trading data and related information generated on the Company's platform are proprietary. Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or use of this data is prohibited.
2.6 Definitions
For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
Winning Day: For Select Flex Payout Policy accounts, a trading day on which the trader achieves net profit (after all commissions and fees) equal to or exceeding the minimum threshold for their account size: $150 (one hundred fifty U.S. dollars) for 50K accounts, $200 (two hundred U.S. dollars) for 100K accounts, $250 (two hundred fifty U.S. dollars) for 150K accounts. Net profit is measured at end of day.
End of Day Drawdown: A drawdown calculation method where the maximum trailing drawdown limit is recalculated at the end of each trading day based on the official end-of-day balance. While the limit adjusts based on end-of-day performance, the drawdown limit is enforced in real-time throughout the trading day. If your account balance drops to or below the current drawdown limit at any point during trading hours, your account will be immediately failed - even if you might have recovered by the end of the day.
Starting Balance (Tradeify Elite Live): The initial balance carried forward from Simulated Funded account(s) to a Tradeify Elite Live account upon transition, calculated as the lesser of (a) the remaining balance on the Simulated Funded Account(s), or (b) ten percent (10%) of the Simulated Funded Account size(s), subject to a maximum combined total of $100,000 (one hundred thousand U.S. dollars) across all payouts and balance carried forward.
Drawdown Locking (Select Flex Only): An account feature exclusive to Select Flex Payout Policy accounts where, upon approval of the first payout, the maximum trailing drawdown parameter is permanently locked at the account's starting balance ($50,000 for fifty-thousand-dollar accounts, $100,000 for one-hundred-thousand-dollar accounts, $150,000 for one-hundred-fifty-thousand-dollar accounts) and becomes a fixed threshold rather than a trailing threshold. This means the drawdown threshold does not increase when the trader generates additional profits, allowing accumulated profits to be utilized as risk capital without raising the drawdown violation threshold. The account will be terminated if the balance falls below the locked drawdown threshold (starting balance).
Risk Manager: A Tradeify representative assigned to Tradeify Elite Live traders to provide accountability, coaching, performance reviews, and personalized scaling decisions based on the trader's performance and trading style.
Tradeify Elite Live: Tradeify's live funded trading program where qualified traders trade with real capital through NinjaTrader brokerage, subject to dynamic risk parameters and eligible for daily payouts. Also referred to as "Elite Live" or "Live Funded Account."
3. NON-SOLICITATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY
3.1 Non-Interference: The Trader agrees not to disrupt the Company's business operations, including its contractual relationships and business strategies.
3.2 Non-Solicitation: During the term of this Agreement and for two (2) years post-termination, the Trader shall not solicit or entice any of the Company's employees, contractors, or clients.
3.3 Confidentiality: The Trader shall maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information about the Company, its operations, and clients.
4. TRADING PLANS AND PAYOUTS
4.1 Simulated Funded Accounts: The Company offers Simulated Funded accounts for traders to receive virtual funds who have passed the Company's evaluation phase. Performance on these accounts determines eligibility for payouts and other benefits.
4.2 Maximum Number of Simulated Funded Accounts
The Company hereby limits the maximum number of Simulated Funded Accounts that may be held by any single individual to five (5). This limit applies:
- On a per-individual basis
- On a per-household basis
- Across ALL funded account types, including:
- Advanced Challenge funded accounts
- Growth Challenge funded accounts
- Lightning Funded accounts
- Select Flex funded accounts
- Select Daily funded accounts
Example: A trader may NOT hold 3 Lightning Funded accounts + 2 Select Flex accounts + 1 Growth funded account. The maximum total is 5 (five) funded accounts of any combination.
Tradeify Elite Live Restrictions:
- Traders who are transitioned to Tradeify Elite Live (Section 5) may NOT hold ANY other funded accounts, challenge accounts, or straight-to-sim accounts while their Elite Live account is active.
- No other member of a trader's household may hold any Tradeify accounts (Challenge, Funded, or Elite Live) while the trader's Elite Live account is active.
4.3 Advanced Challenge Plan
Note: As of December 2025, the Advanced Challenge Plan is no longer available for new purchases. Existing Advanced account holders may continue to reset and renew their accounts under the terms specified below until cancellation.
Tradeify offered 'Advanced' challenge accounts with account sizes of $50k, $100k & $150k. The advanced challenge uses an Intraday real-time trailing drawdown, this drawdown is calculated continuously throughout the trading day in real-time.
After passing the 'Advanced' challenge the Trader will be granted an 'Advanced' Sim Funded account. For an 'Advanced' Sim Funded account the max drawdown becomes a static drawdown when the liquidation threshold is at $100 plus the initial plan balance (i.e. $50,100 on a 50K plan).
4.4 Growth Challenge Plan
Tradeify offers 'Growth' challenge accounts with account sizes of $50k, $100k & $150k. The growth challenge uses an end of day trailing drawdown, this drawdown is calculated and changed based on the account balance at the end of the trading day.
After passing the ‘Growth’ challenge the Trader will be granted an ‘Growth’ Sim Funded account. For an ‘Growth’ Sim Funded account the max drawdown becomes a static drawdown when the liquidation threshold is at $100 plus the initial plan balance (i.e. $50,100 on a 50K plan).
4.5 Lightning Funded (Straight to Sim Funded) Accounts
A “Lightning Funded” account is a type of trading account where traders can bypass the challenge phase and start simulated trading and obtaining payouts from the firm’s capital immediately. This means the Trader will be given direct access to a Sim Funded account and can start obtaining payouts once profit goals are met.
For a ‘Lightning Funded’ account the max drawdown becomes a static drawdown when the liquidation threshold is at $100 plus the initial plan balance (i.e. $50,100 on a 50K plan).
4.6 Payout Policy:
Compensation Structure: The profit split on trading profits withdrawn shall be split as 90% to the Trader and 10% to the Company. Any amounts not withdrawn are at risk of loss from the Trader’s activity. The Trader will be paid as a 10-99 individual contractor, not as an employee.

4.7 Select Challenge Plan
Tradeify offers 'Select' challenge accounts with account sizes of $50,000 (fifty thousand U.S. dollars), $100,000 (one hundred thousand U.S. dollars), and $150,000 (one hundred fifty thousand U.S. dollars). The Select challenge is a three (3) day evaluation that uses an End of Day trailing drawdown. This drawdown is calculated and evaluated at the end of each trading day based on the account balance at the end of the trading day.
After passing the Select Challenge, the trader must choose between Select Flex (5-Day Payout Policy) as described in Section 4.8, or Select Daily (Daily Payout Policy) as described in Section 4.9. This choice is permanent and irrevocable for that specific funded account.
4.8 Select Flex Funded Accounts (5-Day Payout Policy)
4.8.1 Account Parameters
Select Flex accounts use End of Day drawdown mode, meaning the maximum trailing drawdown is calculated and enforced at the end of each trading day based on the official end-of-day balance. There is no Daily Loss Limit for Select Flex accounts.
4.8.2 Payout Structure
Payout Frequency: Every 5 (five) winning days
Profit Split: 90% (ninety percent) to trader / 10% (ten percent) to Company
Winning Day Definition: A trading day with net profit (after all commissions and fees) equal to or exceeding:
- $150 (one hundred fifty U.S. dollars) for 50K accounts
- $200 (two hundred U.S. dollars) for 100K accounts
- $250 (two hundred fifty U.S. dollars) for 150K accounts
Payout Caps (per payout):
- 50K Account: Up to 50% (fifty percent) of profits with a cap of $3,000 (three thousand U.S. dollars)
- 100K Account: Up to 50% (fifty percent) of profits with a cap of $4,000 (four thousand U.S. dollars)
- 150K Account: Up to 50% (fifty percent) of profits with a cap of $5,000 (five thousand U.S. dollars)
4.8.3 No Minimum Balance Requirement (First Payout Only)
Unlike all other Tradeify account types, Select Flex has no minimum account balance requirement for the first payout. A trader may request the first payout immediately upon achieving 5 (five) winning days, regardless of account balance.
Example: A trader with a $51,500 (fifty-one thousand five hundred U.S. dollars) balance after 5 winning days may withdraw 50% of profits ($750), resulting in a post-payout balance of $50,750 (fifty thousand seven hundred fifty U.S. dollars).
4.8.4 Drawdown Locking Mechanism
Upon approval of the first payout in a Select Flex account, the maximum trailing drawdown parameter is permanently locked at the account's starting balance and becomes a fixed threshold rather than a trailing threshold. This means:
- The drawdown threshold remains fixed at the starting balance ($50,000 for fifty-thousand-dollar accounts, $100,000 for one-hundred-thousand-dollar accounts, $150,000 for one-hundred-fifty-thousand-dollar accounts) for the life of the account and does not increase when the trader generates additional profits;
- Future profits retained in the account do not increase the drawdown threshold, allowing the trader to utilize accumulated profits as risk capital without raising the drawdown violation threshold;
- The account will be terminated if the balance falls below the locked drawdown threshold (starting balance);
- The trader must maintain an account balance at or above the starting balance to continue trading;
- The account may still be terminated for violations of other terms, rules, or prohibited trading activities as specified elsewhere in this Agreement;
- This drawdown locking is permanent and irrevocable for the life of the account.
4.8.5 Subsequent Payout Requirements (2nd+ Payouts)
For all payouts after the first payout, the trader must:
- Achieve 5 (five) winning days as defined in Section 4.8.2;
- Have positive net profit (greater than $0) during the payout cycle.
The payout cycle begins after the previous payout is approved and the winning day count resets to zero.
4.8.6 Path to Tradeify Elite Live
Select Flex accounts become eligible for Tradeify Elite Live transition upon completion of five (5) payouts, subject to assessment as described in Section 5.1.
4.9 Select Daily Funded Accounts (Daily Payout Policy)
4.9.1 Account Parameters
Select Daily accounts use End of Day drawdown mode, meaning the maximum trailing drawdown is calculated and enforced at the end of each trading day based on the official end-of-day balance. Select Daily accounts include Daily Loss Limits as specified above.
4.9.2 Buffer System (Mandatory Minimum Balance)
Select Daily accounts operate with a mandatory Buffer Amount that represents the minimum account balance that must be maintained at all times:
- 50K Account: $2,100 (two thousand one hundred U.S. dollars) buffer
- 100K Account: $2,600 (two thousand six hundred U.S. dollars) buffer
- 150K Account: $3,600 (three thousand six hundred U.S. dollars) buffer
Profits may NOT be withdrawn if the withdrawal would bring the account balance below the Buffer Amount. Only profits above the Buffer Amount are eligible for withdrawal, subject to the Daily Continuity Rule and payout caps as specified in Section 4.9.3.
4.9.3 Daily Continuity Rule (2× Profit Multiplier)
To be eligible for a payout on any trading day, the trader must meet BOTH of the following criteria:
- The trader must have profit greater than $0 (zero) since their last payout, AND
- The trader may request up to two times (2×) the net profit earned since the last payout, calculated on profits above the Buffer Amount, subject to the following payout caps:
- 50K Account: $1,000 (one thousand U.S. dollars) maximum per payout
- 100K Account: $1,500 (one thousand five hundred U.S. dollars) maximum per payout
- 150K Account: $2,500 (two thousand five hundred U.S. dollars) maximum per payout
Example 1: Trader earned $250 (two hundred fifty U.S. dollars) profit → may request up to $500 (five hundred U.S. dollars) (2 × $250), subject to cap
Example 2: Trader earned $700 (seven hundred U.S. dollars) profit on 50K account → may request up to $1,000 (one thousand U.S. dollars) (2 × $700 = $1,400, but capped at $1,000)
Minimum payout amount: $250 (two hundred fifty U.S. dollars)
Profit split: 90% (ninety percent) trader / 10% (ten percent) Company
4.9.4 Daily Payout Eligibility
Payouts may be requested on any trading day once the requirements in Section 4.9.3 are satisfied. The Daily Continuity Rule ensures traders have generated new profit since the previous payout.
4.9.5 Path to Tradeify Elite Live
Select Daily accounts become eligible for Tradeify Elite Live transition upon completion of five (5) payouts from the same account, subject to assessment as described in Section 5.1.
4.10 Payout Policy Selection for Select Accounts
4.10.1 One-Time Permanent Choice
Upon passing a Select Challenge (Section 4.7), the trader must choose between:
- Select Flex (5-Day Payout Policy) as described in Section 4.8, OR
- Select Daily (Daily Payout Policy) as described in Section 4.9
This choice is permanent and irrevocable for that specific funded account. No refunds or exchanges will be provided if the trader later prefers a different payout policy.
4.10.2 Different Policies Across Multiple Accounts
Traders who pass multiple Select Challenges may choose different payout policies for each funded account. Each account's payout policy selection is independent.
4.10.3 Timing and Activation
The payout policy must be selected before activating the funded account. Failure to activate the account before the next subscription renewal date does not prevent subscription charges. Traders who do not activate a passed evaluation remain responsible for applicable subscription fees until proper cancellation.
5. TRADEIFY ELITE LIVE ACCOUNTS
The Company does not hold a broker-dealer license and does not provide brokerage services; all Tradeify Elite Live accounts are issued through and facilitated by NinjaTrader, a third-party regulated brokerage.
5.1 Transition to Tradeify Elite Live
5.1(a) Payout-Based Eligibility
Upon completion of five (5) payouts, Tradeify will assess the trader's account for potential transition to Tradeify Elite Live.
This five (5) payout requirement applies to ALL funded account types:
- Advanced Challenge funded accounts

- Lightning Funded accounts
- Select Flex funded accounts
- Select Daily funded accounts
Upon reaching the fifth payout, Tradeify may, at its sole discretion:
- Transition the trader to Tradeify Elite Live, OR

Tradeify will reassess the account upon each subsequent payout request if not initially transitioned.
5.1(b) Automatic Transition Threshold
Traders will be automatically transitioned to Tradeify Elite Live upon reaching a total of $80,000 (eighty thousand U.S. dollars) in combined user payouts across all Simulated Funded accounts. This transition is mandatory and not subject to assessment.

Tradeify reserves the right to transition traders to Tradeify Elite Live at any time, including after the first payout, at Tradeify's sole discretion.
5.2 Balance Carried Forward to Tradeify Elite Live
5.2(a) Balance Calculation (Single Account)
If Tradeify transitions a trader to Tradeify Elite Live, a portion of the trader's Simulated Funded Account balance will be carried forward. The balance carried forward will be the lesser of:
- The trader's remaining balance on the Simulated Funded Account at the time of the qualifying payout request, OR
- Ten percent (10%) of the Simulated Funded Account size, calculated as follows:
- $2,500 (two thousand five hundred U.S. dollars) for a $25,000 account
- $5,000 (five thousand U.S. dollars) for a $50,000 account
- $10,000 (ten thousand U.S. dollars) for a $100,000 account
- $15,000 (fifteen thousand U.S. dollars) for a $150,000 account
5.2(b) Lifetime Maximum Cap
The maximum amount a trader may receive in combined Simulated Funded payouts and Elite Live balance carried forward is $100,000 (one hundred thousand U.S. dollars). If the balance carried forward would result in exceeding this cap, the balance will be reduced such that combined payouts plus balance carried forward equals $100,000 (one hundred thousand U.S. dollars).
5.2(c) No Day 1 Payout
Upon transition to Tradeify Elite Live, the entire balance carried forward becomes the trader's starting balance in the Elite Live account. There is no payout on the day of transition. The starting balance becomes available for withdrawal only after meeting the requirements specified in Section 5.3(b).
5.2(d) Balance Carried Forward for Multiple Accounts
If a trader has multiple Simulated Funded Accounts and requests the fifth (5th) payout simultaneously across all accounts, Tradeify will calculate the balance carried forward as the lesser of:
- The remaining balance on each individual account, OR
- Ten percent (10%) of each individual account size
If the fifth payout is NOT requested simultaneously across all accounts, any remaining payouts up to the fifth payout may still be received from other accounts, provided sufficient balance remains. The balance carried forward will be prorated based on the number of payouts completed at the time of transition.
Note: Any accounts with zero (0) payouts are ineligible for balance carry-forward. Any active funded accounts with no remaining payout eligibility will be refunded.
5.3 Tradeify Elite Live Payout Policy
5.3(a) Starting Balance Allocation
Traders transitioned to Tradeify Elite Live will receive an initial balance of up to $20,000 (twenty thousand U.S. dollars) in their Elite Live account.

6. PROHIBITED TRADING ACTIVITIES
6.1 Exploitation of Errors: The core of Tradeify’s guidelines is a mutual understanding between Tradeify and the trader that the trader acts in good faith. Therefore traders are prohibited from using strategies that seek to exploit or create errors within our platform. This includes taking advantage of discrepancies in price displays, delays in updates, or any other technical errors in our services. Such actions are considered unethical and can lead to serious consequences, including termination of the Traders trading account.
6.2 Disruptive Practices: The Trader is forbidden from using strategies that incorporate disruptive practices.
6.3 External or Slow Data Feed: Trading based on an external or delayed data feed is not allowed.
6.4 Manipulative Trades: The Trader must not engage in trades with the intent to manipulate, abuse, or gain an unfair advantage on the Company’s platform. This includes short-term or high-frequency trades or simultaneously entering opposing positions.
6.5 Consistency in Trading: The Trader must adhere to a consistent trading plan in terms of size, stops, and targets, avoiding maximum or larger contract sizes on single trades, refraining from flipping contracts just to register a “trading day,” maintaining consistent trading sizes, avoiding dollar-cost averaging and high-frequency trading, and demonstrating consistency in the trading plan.
6.6 Automated Bots: The use of automated trading bots or algorithms (“bots/algos”) is permitted under the following conditions:
- Ownership: the Trader must be able to prove that the Traderare the sole owner of the bot or strategy, and that no one else has access to or is using it. This ensures that the bot/algorithm is not being shared with other traders or firms.
- Exclusive Use: While the Trader may use the bot on the Trader’s personal accounts, using it across multiple firms is against Tradeify’s policy. The bot should be solely for the Trader’s own use within Tradeify.
- No High-Frequency Trading (HFT) Bots: Personal bots are allowed as long as they are not high-frequency trading (HFT) bots. Tradeify has specific risk measures in place to detect and monitor such activities.
- Compliance & Verification: Tradeify reserves the right to request information or documentation if our risk measures flag the Trader’s account for potential violations of these guidelines.
6.7 Collaborative Trading and Hedging
- Independent Trading Requirement: All users of Tradeify are required to execute their trading strategies independently. Team trading, collaborative trading, or any form of trade copying among users is strictly prohibited. Each user is responsible for their own trades and must ensure that all trading decisions reflect their individual strategy and discretion.
- Hedging Prohibited: Traders are strictly prohibited from executing hedging strategies, defined as holding opposing positions in the same or correlated instruments to offset risk. Violations will result in immediate disqualification from the evaluation program.
- Contract Type Limitation: Traders may not trade both mini and micro futures contracts simultaneously. All trades must involve only one contract type throughout the evaluation period.
- Purpose: These restrictions are in place to ensure consistency, accurate performance evaluation, and adherence to risk management protocols.
- Non-Compliance: Any breach of the above rules will result in account termination and forfeiture of eligibility for funding or continued participation in the program.
Tradeify maintains risk management protocols designed to monitor for violations of these conditions. Tradeify reserves the right to request additional information or documentation if an account is flagged by these measures, to ensure compliance with these terms.
6.8 Microscalping: Microscalping refers to executing trades with the intent of capturing small profits from minimal price movements, such as a few ticks or points typically within a very short period of time. Trades executed in less than 10 seconds are difficult to reliably replicate or copy, so we have implemented the following guideline:
- 50% or more of the Trader’s account profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.
6.9 Maximum Account Idle Time
To maintain an active account status, the Trader are required to execute at least one trade per calendar week. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the Trader’s account being classified as inactive.
In the event that the Trader are unable to meet this trading requirement due to vacation, personal circumstances, or other legitimate reasons, the Trader must notify Tradeify in advance. Upon receiving such notice, Tradeify will work with the Trader to determine an appropriate solution to maintain account’s active status.
