The biggest challenge with live accounts has always been the same.
You finally make it. You get payouts. You get informed you're moving live. And then it just feels like you've started again.
There's no real sense of progression. No acceleration. No additional upside for doing things properly. If you want to earn more, the only real option is to take more risk.
We wanted to change that.
Instead of live trading being the end of the journey, we built something that actually rewards you for performing well once you're there. We introduced a Performance Reward Pool inside the live environment — something you earn on top of the trading profits you're already making.
You're getting paid twice. Once from your trading profits, and again from the reward pool.
This applies to all current and new live traders, regardless of plan (Select, Growth, or Lightning Funded). For general information about Elite Live eligibility, transition, and account parameters, see Tradeify Elite Program.
Elite Performance Reward Pool (Per Account)
When you go live, every account you take live comes with a reward pool attached to it:
Account Size | Reward Pool (Per Account) |
$25K | $2,000 |
$50K | $4,000 |
$100K | $8,000 |
$150K | $12,000 |
You can run up to 5 accounts. If a trader has multiple live accounts, each account has its own independent reward pool.
Example: 5 x $150K accounts = $12,000 per account = $60,000 total available across all accounts.
This isn't something you gamble for. It's something you earn over time by trading properly.
Performance Multiplier – 1.5x Pool Increase (Per Account)
Select plan traders who demonstrated strong discipline during their Sim Funded phase can increase their pool size per account. The 1.5x Performance Multiplier is exclusively available to Select plan traders.
To qualify, both conditions must be met at live transition:
Sim Funded Consistency Score below 40%
Never exceeded 75% of allowed max drawdown
If both conditions were met, the pool per account increases by 50%:
Account Size | Base Pool | With 1.5x Multiplier |
$25K | $2,000 | $3,000 |
$50K | $4,000 | $6,000 |
$100K | $8,000 | $12,000 |
$150K | $12,000 | $18,000 |
The multiplier is applied per account at transition and does not require additional Sim profit.
Example with multiplier: 5 x $150K accounts = $18,000 per account = $90,000 total available across all accounts.
How the Reward Pool Is Earned (Monthly – Per Account)
Each account can earn rewards monthly, provided the eligibility criteria are met.
Maximum Monthly Reward Per Account:
Account Size | Maximum Monthly Reward |
$25K | Up to $1,000 |
$50K | Up to $2,000 |
$100K | Up to $3,000 |
$150K | Up to $4,500 |
Once the full pool for that specific account is earned, no further pool payments are available for that account.
If the multiplier was applied, the expanded pool simply allows additional months of eligibility.
Monthly Eligibility Requirements (Per Account)
Each account has a simple monthly objective. To unlock a monthly reward for a specific account, the trader must:
Achieve 5 profitable days of at least $250 per day
End the month with profit greater than max trailing drawdown on the Live account:
$25K: $1,000
$50K: $2,000
$100K: $3,000
$150K: $4,500
Eligibility is evaluated independently per account.
Important: If an account is breached, any remaining unpaid pool for that specific account is forfeited.
Real Example – How You Get Paid Twice
Let's walk through a real scenario so you can see how the numbers actually work.
A trader goes live with 5 x $150K accounts.
From day one, they have $60,000 in reward pools available ($12,000 per account x 5).
Month 1
The trader has a strong, controlled month. No big swings, no unnecessary risk.
Across the 5 accounts, they generate $5,000 in profit per account.
That's $25,000 in trading profits.
Because they hit the monthly objective on each account (5 profitable days, profit above $4,500), they also unlock $4,500 per account in rewards from the pool.
Across 5 accounts: $22,500 from the reward pool.
Month 1 total: $47,500 ($25,000 trading + $22,500 rewards)
Month 2
They come back and repeat the same process. No change in approach. No added risk.
Again: $25,000 in trading profits + $22,500 unlocked from the reward pool.
Month 2 total: $47,500
Month 3
At this point, they're finishing what's left of the pool. Same trading approach, same results.
$25,000 in trading profits + $15,000 remaining from the reward pool.
Month 3 total: $40,000
3-Month Summary
| Trading Profits | Reward Pool | Monthly Total |
Month 1 | $25,000 | $22,500 | $47,500 |
Month 2 | $25,000 | $22,500 | $47,500 |
Month 3 | $25,000 | $15,000 | $40,000 |
Total | $75,000 | $60,000 | $135,000 |
From $75,000 in trading profits, the trader earned a total of $135,000 — because the reward pool paid them an additional $60,000 on top.
Nothing about the way they approached the market had to change. They didn't need to take bigger risks. They didn't need to chase bigger wins. They just stayed consistent, hit a clear monthly objective, and let the structure do the rest.
Note: Trading profits are subject to the 80/20 payout split (80% to the trader, 20% to the firm). The example above shows gross amounts before the split is applied.
Payout Policy
Elite Live payout split on all rewards and profits:
80% to the trader / 20% to the firm
The reward pool is fully flexible. You can:
Take it as cash
Add it to your account to give yourself more room
Keep it aside as protection if things don't go your way later
Why This Matters
Live trading shouldn't feel like starting again. It should feel like things are opening up.
The reward pool means you don't need to force bigger trades or take on extra risk to earn more. You just:
Stay consistent
Hit a clear monthly objective
Let the structure do the rest
This is how you scale without forcing it. This is how you get paid twice for doing the same thing well.
