When You Picture "Trading," You
Probably Picture Losing Your Savings
And honestly? For most retail traders, that's not paranoia — it's the actual outcome. The traditional path looks like this:
Save up $5K–$50K
Months or years of paychecks earmarked as 'risk capital.'
Open a brokerage
Discover the PDT rule. Realize $5K barely lets you trade futures.
Trade live, learn live
Every mistake costs real money. Tuition is unlimited.
Account goes to zero
The most common outcome. The market is a brutally expensive school.
The traders who do well with live capital almost always built their skill somewhere safer first. The problem isn't live trading. The problem is starting there. Once the discipline is real and the track record is built, live trading is a fantastic next step. We're going to help you get there in the right order.
Now imagine the same path,but the capital you're trading isn't yours. You pay a one-time fee to prove you know the rules. If you fail, you lose the fee. If you pass, someone hands you real buying power and 90% of the profits. That's prop trading. Let's break it down.
Prop Trading Is a Proving Ground. Show the Discipline, Earn The Keys
And honestly? For most retail traders, that's not paranoia — it's the actual outcome. The traditional path looks like this:
Wall Street proved traders this way for 100 years
Goldman, Jane Street, DRW — all hire traders and put them through structured proving programs before any size touches the book.
Online prop firms opened the model in 2018
Now anyone with an internet connection can apply. No degree. No interview. No track record required.
You only ever risk what you choose to pay upfront
A one-time evaluation fee. That's your entire downside. Forever.
Top performers earn the path forward
Stay consistent, stack approved payouts, and you become eligible for our highest tier. Most traders never see it. The ones who do, earned it.
Four Steps From Signup to Paychecks
Pick a plan and pay the fee
Choose your account size. Pay a one-time evaluation fee (think $79 for $25K, $169 for $50K). This fee is your entire risk.
Hit a small profit target
On a $25K account, the target is $1,500 in simulated profits. Hit it without breaching the daily drawdown. Take as long as you need.

Get funded — keep 90% of every dollar
Pass the eval and you graduate to a Funded Sim account. Your trades now move real (simulated) capital. Profits become payouts.

Earn your way to the next tier
Consistency compounds. The traders who stay disciplined, stack approved payouts, and prove they can manage size become eligible for our highest tier.

"OK but it actually
works?" Yeah
Six funded traders. Six different stories. All started where you are right now — reading something on the internet and wondering if it's real.
Marcus T.@mtfutures . $50k Growth
"I funded a $50K account 3 weeks after I started learning futures. Three months later, I quit my warehouse job."
Alyssa K.@deniskay . $50k Select"No stupid rules. No "consistency" gotchas. Yesterday I requested a payout, today I have money in my account. That's rare in this space."
Jordan C.@priyatrades . $25k Growth"The end-of-day drawdown on Growth saved me from blowing up at least 6 times during my first month. Other firms' intra-day rules would have wrecked me."
David W.@yarafutures . $100k Growth"I tried 3 other prop firms first. Got blocked by surprise consistency rules every time. Tradeify's rules are exactly what's on the page."
Rachel M.@mflores . $100k Select"Payouts are incredibly fast. An honest and credible firm. Requested at 11pm, money in account by 9am next day."
David W.@aceofcharts . $150k Select"Started with the $25K Growth eval at $65. Passed in 9 days. That fee was hands-down the best ROI of any money I've ever spent."
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between futures and the stock market?
.svg){kind=small}
With stocks, you're buying a piece of one company and hoping it goes up. Futures are a different game. You can trade the price of gold, oil, the S&P 500, even the dollar itself, and you can make money whether the market's flying or falling. They run nearly around the clock too, so you're not stuck waiting for an opening bell.
Can I lose more than my initial investment?
No. You're trading on simulated capital, so the money in your bank account is never on the line. The worst that happens is you hit your account's loss limit and the account closes. That's it. No surprise bills, no calls asking you to cover a loss. Just your skills being tested, not your savings.
What hours are futures open?
Pretty much all of them. Markets run close to 23 hours a day, Sunday evening right through Friday afternoon. So whether you're trading with your morning coffee or sneaking in a session at 2am, the market's awake when you are.
What is a prop firm?
It's short for proprietary trading firm, and the idea is simple. We put up the capital so you can trade bigger than your own wallet would ever allow. You show us you can trade by passing an evaluation, we fund you, and you keep most of what you make. You bring the skill, we bring the money.
Do I need experience to start?
Not at all. Brand new and been-doing-this-for-years traders both kick off the same way, with a low-cost evaluation where you can find your feet without real money on the line. Nobody's born knowing how to trade. You learn it by doing it, and this is a safe place to put in the reps.
What happens if I break a rule?
Nothing scary. Every account comes with clear rules laid out from day one, like a daily loss limit, and if you cross one, the account just ends. There's no hidden penalty and nobody chasing you for cash. You reset, you figure out what went sideways, and you come back sharper. The rules are there to build good habits, not to trip you up.
How do I get a funded account?
Pick the account size you want, then pass the evaluation by hitting a profit target while staying inside the rules. That's the whole thing. No interview, no CV, no committee deciding your fate. Prove you can trade and the capital is yours.
What's tradable on the futures market?
Honestly, most of what moves the world. Stock indices like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, metals like gold and silver, energy like crude oil and natural gas, plus currencies, bonds, and even crops. One account, and the whole global market is in front of you.
