How to Get a Funded Trading Account to Become Funded Trader

TL;DR

A funded trading account lets you trade firm capital, not your own. With Tradeify, you pass an evaluation, get funded, and keep most of the profit. This guide explains how to get funded, what the rules are, and what to expect at each step.

Introduction

Want to trade real capital but don't want to risk your own money? A funded trading account is the answer. You trade firm money. You keep up to 90% of the profit. You follow a few clear rules.

This guide walks you through how to get funded with Tradeify. We cover what to do, what to avoid, and what to expect at each stage.

What Is a Funded Trading Account?

A funded trading account is an account where a firm gives you capital to trade. You use their money. You follow their risk rules. You split the profit.

Tradeify is a proprietary trading firm. You start with an evaluation. You meet a profit target. You stay inside the drawdown rule. Then you get funded.

Funded accounts come with built-in risk controls and pro trading tools. Your own savings stay safe.

Steps to Get a Funded Trading Account with Tradeify

Tradeify uses a clear, named-product path. Here is how it works.

1. Step 1: Pick the Tradeify product that fits your style
   🔹 Growth is built for traders who want funding in one day, with no consistency rule during the evaluation and 35% consistency once funded.
   🔹 Select is built for traders who want a three-day evaluation with 40% consistency, then a flexible funded account with no consistency rule and a choice between 5-Day or Daily payouts.
   🔹 Lightning Funded is built for traders who want instant funding with no evaluation — starting at 20% consistency that relaxes after each payout.
2. Step 2: Pass the evaluation
   🔹 Hit the profit target for your account size.
   🔹 Stay inside the drawdown rule every day.
   🔹 Follow the consistency rule. Spread your gains across many days, not one big day.
   🔹 Trade for at least the minimum number of days set by your plan.
3. Step 3: Trade with funded capital
   🔹 Once you pass, Tradeify funds your live account.
   🔹 You keep up to 90% of the profit.
   🔹 You follow the same risk rules to stay funded.
   🔹 You request payouts on a clear schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between EOD and intraday drawdown?

Intraday drawdown counts every dip in your equity, even unrealized losses. EOD (end-of-day) drawdown only updates when the trading day closes. EOD rules give you more room to ride trades. Tradeify uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown with no intraday limits across Growth, Select, and Lightning.

How much capital do you start with?

You pick the size. Tradeify offers funded accounts at $50K, $100K, and $150K. Bigger accounts cost more in eval fees but let you trade more contracts.

What is the consistency rule?

The consistency rule keeps traders from passing on one lucky day. Your best day cannot be more than 35% of your total profit on Growth funded accounts, 40% during the Select evaluation, and 20% on Lightning Funded — a rule that relaxes after each payout. The rule pushes you to win across many days, not one. That is a sign of real skill.

Can you swing trade or hold overnight?

Tradeify's rule on overnight positions is strict — all positions must be closed by 4:59 PM ET each day, and no overnight or swing trades are allowed on any account type, including Live. Check the rules for your product before holding past the close.

How fast are payouts?

Once you hit the minimum profit and meet the trading day rule, you can request a withdrawal. Tradeify guarantees 60-minute automated payouts.

What platforms can you trade on?

Tradeify supports Tradovate, WealthCharts, and Tradesea, with NinjaTrader and TradingView accessible through the Tradovate connection. Pick the one that fits your style. All of them work with your funded account.

What are the age requirements?

You must be 18 or older to open a Tradeify account. You also need to live in a country Tradeify supports.

Additional Advice for Aspiring Funded Traders

A funded trading career takes work. The right mindset matters as much as the right strategy.

🔸 Set small daily goals.
🔸 Review your progress each week.
🔸 Trade in a quiet space with no distractions.
🔸 Sleep, eat, and move. Your edge depends on it.

Small gains in your habits add up. The traders who last are the ones who stay consistent.
