Tradeify review
The Daemon score is our weighted read of the published rules, not a measured benchmark. How we score.
Tradeify gets the basics right in a way that is easy to underrate. Every plan uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown, the pricing is one-time rather than a subscription, and Growth and Lightning hand you 100 percent of the first $15K in profit. There is also Lightning instant funding if you want to skip the eval entirely. No single feature screams, but the package is sensible.
I funded a Growth account and looked at the Lightning route to see how the drawdown and the instant-funding option actually work. Checked 23 June 2026.

End-of-day drawdown on every plan
The thing I like most is consistency: Tradeify uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown across the board, not an intraday one on some plans and end-of-day on others. The $2,000 limit on a 50K is measured against your closing balance, so an intraday excursion you recover from does not end the account. That makes Tradeify forgiving for a trader who needs room during the session.
It still trails, so the drawdown follows your gains up until you bank a payout. That is normal, and it is gentler than an intraday version of the same number. For most day traders this is an easy drawdown to live under.
Eval or instant: two ways in
The standard route is a one-time eval. Growth lists around $139 for the 50K, Select around $111, and the JUNE code takes 35 percent off through 30 June 2026. One-time pricing means no monthly bill while you grind the eval, which suits a trader who takes their time.
The other route is Lightning instant funding, where you pay for a funded account directly and skip the test. It costs more up front because you are buying past the eval, but it removes the pass-or-fail gate. Both routes land on the same end-of-day drawdown, so the choice is really about whether you want to prove the account or buy it. The coupon page covers the code.
Splits, news, and the honest caveat
Growth and Lightning give you 100 percent of the first $15K in profit before the split moves to 90/10, which is a real edge on early withdrawals. Tradeify also allows news trading, so an economic-calendar style is not boxed out.
The usual caveat stands. One-time pricing rewards passing on the first try and punishes resets, instant funding is not a shortcut to being profitable, and trading futures carries a substantial risk of loss. Tradeify removes friction, not risk.
Can you run a bot on Tradeify?
Yes, with a check. Tradeify lets you run your own bots and Expert Advisors, but there is a verification step first, so you register the system rather than running it silently. For a firm with an end-of-day drawdown on every plan and an instant-funding route, that extra hoop is a fair trade.
Against the strictest firms, Tradeify lands in the friendly half: full automation is on the table, you just clear the verification before you switch the bot on. The automation hub compares it against the other bot-friendly firms.

The verdict
Tradeify is a solid all-rounder for a day trader who wants a forgiving end-of-day drawdown, one-time pricing, and strong early-profit splits. Nothing about it is flashy, but the rules are sensible and consistent, which is worth more than a headline feature.
Take the eval if you expect to pass and want the lowest entry, or Lightning if you would rather buy past the test. Use JUNE while it lasts, and weigh the reset risk that comes with any one-time firm.
