Tradeify and Earn2Trade in brief

Tradeify

Growth and Select evaluations, plus Lightning instant funding. The drawdown trails at end of day and is enforced in real time. Growth has a soft daily loss limit; Select has a 40% consistency rule in the evaluation.

Earn2Trade

Two programs: Gauntlet Mini and Trader Career Path. The drawdown trails at end of day until it reaches the starting balance. The daily loss limit is hard: hitting it fails the evaluation. A 30% consistency rule delays the pass but never fails it. No minimum trading days.

How these rules play out

On Tradeify and Earn2Trade the drawdown trails at end of day: the floor is recalculated once, from the closing balance, so open profit given back during the session does not raise it — but equity touching the floor during the session still counts. For example, at Tradeify and Earn2Trade a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On Earn2Trade the trailing floor stops rising once it reaches breakeven and stays there.

A soft daily loss limit pauses the day instead of failing the account: reach it and open positions are flattened, trading stops until the next session, and the account stays open. Tradeify's Growth Evaluation plan sets it at $1,250 on $50,000. A hard daily loss limit ends the evaluation: one day that loses that much fails the account. Earn2Trade sets it at $1,100 on $50,000. Tradeify's Select Evaluation plan has no daily loss limit, so a losing day is bounded only by the max drawdown.

Tradeify and Earn2Trade start the trading day at the same moment, 6:00 PM ET (5:00 PM CT); a daily loss limit counts from that reset, not from midnight.

A consistency rule caps how much of the total profit one day may carry. Tradeify's Select Evaluation plan caps any single day at 40% of total profit, so it takes at least 3 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $1,200 of a $3,000 target. Tradeify's Lightning plan caps any single day at 20% of total profit, so it takes at least 5 profitable days to finish inside the rule. Earn2Trade caps any single day at 30% of total profit, so it takes at least 4 profitable days to finish inside the rule. One day may then carry at most $900 of a $3,000 target. Tradeify's Growth Evaluation plan applies no consistency rule in the evaluation, so one large day can count in full.

Tradeify requires at least 1 trading day on Growth Evaluation and 3 on Select Evaluation before a pass; Tradeify's Lightning plan and Earn2Trade set no minimum number of days.

On automated trading — a strategy or bot sending the orders — at Tradeify it is allowed in the evaluation and on a funded account; Earn2Trade has no written answer on record. Written answers: Tradeify (read ).

Choosing between Tradeify and Earn2Trade

Tradeify and Earn2Trade differ on 4 of the evaluation rules compared here: daily loss limit, consistency rule, daily loss limit at $50K and minimum trading days. If one or two large days make up most of your profit, the consistency rule sets how fast you can finish: Tradeify caps one day at 20–40% of total profit on some plans and has no cap on others; Earn2Trade caps one day at 30% of total profit. If you keep trading after a losing morning, look at what the daily loss limit does: Tradeify pauses the day at its daily loss limit on some plans and has no limit on others; Earn2Trade fails the account at its daily loss limit. To finish in as few sessions as possible, compare the minimum days: Tradeify sets no minimum on some plans and up to 3 trading days on others, Earn2Trade sets no minimum.

Once funded, the profit split is 90/10 at Tradeify and 50% / 80% tiered by withdrawal size at Earn2Trade. Payout terms — Tradeify: Per cycle (Growth 5 profitable days · Select Flex 5 winning days · Select Daily daily); Earn2Trade: Weekly (Wednesdays). Tradeify sells 3 plans: Growth Evaluation, Select Evaluation and Lightning; Earn2Trade sells 2 plans: Gauntlet Mini and Trader Career Path. Each plan carries its own version of the rules above, which is why they are listed plan by plan. If a strategy or bot will send your orders, Tradeify's written answer is allowed in the evaluation and on a funded account, and Earn2Trade has no written answer on record.
