Tradeify payout rules are one of the fastest-rising searches among Australian futures traders this week. The confusion is understandable: Tradeify runs three separate funded account types — Select, Growth, and Lightning — each with its own consistency rule and payout structure. We pulled every official payout policy article directly from Tradeify’s Help Center to lay out exactly what applies to each account type, with no guesswork.
Tradeify pays a 90/10 profit split across all account types. Consistency rules depend on account type: none on Select, 35% on Growth, and a tiered 20% / 25% / 30% on Lightning. Select Daily requires a balance buffer but allows daily withdrawals from $250; Select Flex needs 5 winning days but allows up to 50% of profits per payout.
Tradeify Payout Rules by Account Type
There’s no contradiction on Tradeify’s site once you separate the three account types — each one runs its own consistency rule, confirmed directly from Tradeify’s official Help Center articles:
All three account types share the same 90% trader / 10% Tradeify profit split, and all cap household exposure at 5 total simulated funded accounts across Growth, Select, and Lightning combined.
Select Daily vs. Select Flex: The Choice That’s Permanent
If you fund a Select account, you’ll choose between two payout policies before your first withdrawal — and Tradeify’s Help Center confirms this choice is locked in for the life of that account. Here’s exactly how they differ:
| Parameter | Select Daily | Select Flex (5-Day) |
|---|---|---|
| Consistency Rule | None | None |
| Balance Buffer Required | Yes — e.g. $1,100 on a 25K account | No minimum balance requirement |
| Payout Frequency | Daily eligibility | Every 5 winning days |
| Payout Formula | 2× profit earned since last payout, capped by account size | Up to 50% of total profit, capped by account size |
| Minimum Payout | $250 | Determined by the 50% formula |
| Daily Loss Limit | Yes — e.g. $500 on a 25K account | None |
One rule applies identically to both: if your account is net negative for the current payout cycle, neither policy allows a payout until you trade back to a net positive cycle. Only one payout request can be open on an account at a time under either policy.

The Hidden Terms Most Traders Never Check
- The Daily vs. Flex choice is permanent. Once selected on a Select account, there’s no switching mid-account if you pick wrong for your trading style.
- Inactivity can reclassify your account. At least one trade per calendar week is required, or the account risks being classified as inactive.
- The anti-microscalping rule applies account-wide. At least 50% of an account’s profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.
- Negative cycles freeze payouts on every account type. If your account is net negative for the current payout cycle, you must trade back to positive before requesting again, regardless of which policy or account type you’re on.
Assuming your consistency rule matches what you read about a different Tradeify account type. Select, Growth, and Lightning each run a genuinely different rule — 0%, 35%, and a rising 20-30% respectively. Always confirm the rule for your specific funded account type before planning a payout.
Step-by-Step: How to Request a Payout Without It Getting Denied
1. Confirm your account type’s consistency rule
Check whether you’re on Select (0%), Growth (35%), or Lightning (20/25/30% tiered) before assuming any figure applies to you.
2. Verify your trade-duration mix
At least 50% of your account’s profit needs to come from trades held longer than 10 seconds — review your trade log before submitting.
3. Confirm your cycle is net positive
Required on every account type and both Select payout policies — a negative current cycle blocks any payout request.
4. Check your weekly activity
At least one trade per calendar week keeps the account from being flagged as inactive.
5. Submit during Monday-Friday business hours
Requests made outside standard EST/EDT business hours can take up to 72 hours instead of the standard processing window.
6. Confirm your account count
Make sure your household isn’t inadvertently over the 5 simulated funded account limit across Growth, Select, and Lightning combined.
Why This Matters More for Traders in Australia
Futures prop firm interest is currently rising fastest in Queensland and New South Wales, per regional search trend data — and nearly all major futures prop firms, Tradeify included, operate on US Eastern Time trading hours and process payouts against a Monday-Friday EST/EDT business week. That means a payout request submitted on an Australian Saturday or Sunday morning is already outside the standard processing window before the trading week even begins locally, pushing a routine 24-48 hour turnaround closer to the 72-hour outer limit. Factoring in that time-zone gap before funding an account avoids a common and entirely avoidable source of frustration.
