50k | $3,000 | $2,000 | 4 Contracts (40 Micros) |
100k | $6,000 | $3,000 | 8 Contracts (80 Micros) |
150k | $9,000 | $4,500 | 12 Contracts (120 Micros) |

150k | 15 Contracts (150 Micros) |
The Advanced Evaluation uses a real-time Intraday Trailing Max Drawdown, which is calculated continuously throughout the trading day.
The benefit of this is that for disciplined traders the intraday trailing drawdown can protect you from significant losses during the day and encourages you to lock in profits.
For more information see our trailing drawdown article here.
Subscription Notes
The Advanced Evaluation account is a monthly recurring subscription.
The user is solely responsible for managing the subscription. If the user wants to cancel a subscription, they must do so before the renewal date.
Subscriptions are rebilled every 30 days until a user manually cancels the account. This means your account subscription will be rebilled until you cancel or pass the Evaluation, regardless of the status of your account (active or failed).
The Evaluation account balance will not reset upon subscription renewal unless the account has failed. If the account is in a failed state when the subscription renews, the balance will reset to the original starting amount.
Billing occurs on a 30-day cycle (dates may vary from 2 days after to 3 days before the date of the previous billing cycle).
The account subscription rebill stops once a user passes the Evaluation and activates the Sim Funded account.
Passing the Evaluation / Activation
There is a one time activation fee of $125 for Advanced Simulated Funded accounts.
If you pass an Evaluation, you'll receive an email notification once dashboard reconciliation occurs, typically between 6-8 PM Eastern Time.
The account subscription must be active and valid in order to "pass" an Evaluation. A user cannot activate the Sim Funded account if the subscription is cancelled or pending cancellation.
After passing an Advanced Evaluation account, you will be able to move to an Advanced Simulated Funded account, where you can trade towards receiving payouts from your account.
Note that the Simulated Funded counterpart cannot be reset.
Reset Credits
Using a Reset Credit does NOT affect the subscription renewal date, and billing will continue every 30 days from the original subscription date.
Advanced Funded Account Payout Policy
Traders receive 90% of the payout amount requested.
Payout Guidelines
Payout approvals require you to abide by the Tradeify Funded Trader Agreement.
If you have more than one account, each account is treated independently. You may withdraw from each account according to the schedule below, provided you followed the rules for each account.
Once you submit a payout request, it cannot be edited or canceled.
Payout Requirements
Your account must satisfy all criteria for EACH payout request:

Important Notes:
Daily account reconciliations occur between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. EST/EDT.
This amount must be maintained until the payout request is approved.
You can still place trades after submitting a payout request. However, be aware that if you fail your account or fall below the minimum thresholds for a payout before the request is processed, your payout will be denied.
Payout Window
Payouts can be requested at anytime once payout conditions have been met.
Once your payout status is changed to APPROVED, your funds are immediately withdrawn from your account. Payments will be issued within 24-48 hours after the withdrawal has been processed.
Payout requests submitted outside of normal business hours (Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. EST and all Federal holidays) may take up to 72 hours to process.

Payout Example
If you have an Advanced Sim Funded $50k account and the balance reaches the minimum required balance of $53,000 to request a payout, you can request up to a $1,500 payout.
This leaves your remaining balance at $51,500.
Remember, your balance cannot go below $50,100 without failing the account. You are able to take out that amount, but you would leave yourself with $1,400 in drawdown room.
Note: Tradeify reserves the right to move you to a Live Funded Account at any time after a successful payout. Tradeify will contact you via email regarding this decision.
