Tradeify vs The Trading Pit: prop firm rules compared

On Tradeify and The Trading Pit 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 The Trading Pit a $50,000 account starts with its floor at $48,000, $2,000 under the start.

On The Trading Pit 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 and The Trading Pit sets it at $1,000 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 starts the trading day at 6:00 PM ET (5:00 PM CT) and The Trading Pit starts the trading day at 5:00 PM ET (4:00 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 and The Trading Pit cap 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. 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; The Trading Pit requires at least 3 trading days before a pass; Tradeify's Lightning plan sets no minimum number of days.

The Trading Pit's evaluation runs for 30 days; a target not reached by then is not a pass.
