Tradeify Select Payout Rules 2026: Daily vs Flex Caps

Tradeify Select pays 90/10 on two permanent paths chosen after the evaluation. Select Daily lets you request every day, but only above a fixed buffer ($1,100 to $3,600 by size) and, from the second payout, up to 2 times your new profit, capped at $600 to $2,500. Select Flex pays every 5 winning days, up to 50% of your total profit, capped at $1,250 to $4,500. The minimum is $250.

What are the Tradeify Select payout rules?

You choose Select Daily or Select Flex when you activate the funded account, and Tradeify says that choice is permanent. The two paths share the split, the minimum and the absence of a consistency rule. Everything else differs:

Sizes are 25K / 50K / 100K / 150K, and caps are those for accounts bought on or after September 1, 2026. The Select funded cards on tradeify.co show the same caps:

Two rules apply to both paths from the second payout. Your profit in the current cycle must be positive: lose $2,000 after a payout and you must win it back, plus at least $1, before the next request. And only one request can be open per account: the next one waits until the previous one is paid or denied.

What is the Tradeify Select max payout per account size?

The cap depends on the size, the path and the purchase date. Tradeify cut several caps for accounts bought on or after September 1, 2026: the 50K Flex went from $3,000 to $2,500, while the 50K Daily went up from $1,000 to $1,250.

A cap is a ceiling, not what you get. To take the full Flex cap you need twice that amount in total profit: $2,500 on a 25K, $5,000 on a 50K, $7,000 on a 100K, $9,000 on a 150K (our arithmetic). To take the full Daily cap, the balance must sit above the buffer plus the cap: $26,700, $53,350, $104,350 or $156,100.

How do the Select Daily payout rules work?

Select Daily pays the profit above a fixed buffer, any day, and from the second payout no more than 2 times what you made since the last one. At every size, the buffer equals the drawdown plus $100:

Tradeify is explicit: you cannot withdraw profits that would bring the balance below the buffer, and the buffer never changes. So the buffer is profit you make and never take out while the account is simulated. If you are later moved to Elite, Tradeify’s Elite page says no simulated profit carries over.

The Daily Continuity Rule: 2 times your new profit

From the second payout, Tradeify applies what it calls the Daily Continuity Rule: you can request up to 2 times the profit earned since your last payout, within the cap, and the balance must stay above the buffer.

In practice the buffer usually binds before the 2x rule does. Our example on a 50K: you withdraw down to $52,100, then make $400 the next day. The 2x rule would allow $800, but only $400 sits above the buffer, so $400 is the most you can take. The 2x rule only matters once profit has piled up above the buffer.

How do the Select Flex payout rules work?

Select Flex pays every 5 winning days, up to 50% of your total profit, with no buffer, no minimum balance and, from 25K to 150K, no daily loss limit. (The 300K V2 has a $4,000 one.) A winning day needs a minimum profit that depends on the size:

The third column is our arithmetic, with no losing day in the cycle. The 50% is taken on your total profit, not on the cycle’s profit. Tradeify’s example on a 50K: you reach $52,500 after 5 winning days and take $1,250, leaving $51,250. After the next cycle you are at $54,000, your total profit is $4,000, and the second payout can be $2,000.

The Flex trap: a payout request locks your drawdown

Tradeify’s drawdown locks at the starting balance plus $100, either at the close once your balance reaches the lock level, or immediately when you request a payout, whichever comes first. On Daily that is harmless, since you can only withdraw above the lock level anyway. On Flex, with no minimum balance, it can cost you most of your room.

So on Flex, the first payout is a choice between cash now and room later. Our static drawdown prop firms guide explains why a floor that never moves removes this choice altogether.

Select Daily vs Select Flex: which pays more?

Per request and over the first weeks, Flex usually pays more, and on a 50K it can even pay first. Take a 50K bought after September 1, 2026, and a trader who makes $400 on each of 10 trading days. Our arithmetic, before the 90/10 split, assuming each Daily payout is paid before the next close:

Daily wins for a trader who makes steady small gains for weeks, once the buffer is behind them: almost every winning day can turn into a payout. At $1,000 a day on a 50K, Daily can pay out about $5,000 every 5 days against $2,500 for Flex, whose cap stops it (our arithmetic). Flex wins on bigger days and on the first weeks, because it pays half of everything while Daily keeps the buffer. Daily does not mean a faster first payout: on a 50K it needs $2,350 of profit, where Flex needs five winning days of $150.

One more limit on speed: the Select evaluation itself takes at least 3 trading days because of its 40% consistency rule (2 with the paid 50% add-on). Tradeify’s homepage advertises a first payout in 4 days; on Select, by our reading, only Daily can get there, with a first funded day that clears the buffer plus $250.

Express to Live: payout on Day 1, no buffer

How long does a Tradeify Select payout take?

Tradeify’s payout policy says a payout usually arrives within 24 hours once your Rise onboarding is complete, and up to 72 hours over a weekend. Its comparison table lists a 24 hour guarantee for Select Daily and standard processing for Flex. The homepage, meanwhile, advertises “1 hour payouts”.

Payouts go through Rise, the main method, or Plane. Rise asks for identity verification and an invitation from Tradeify that you must accept inside Rise. Tradeify’s Rise guide says funds reach the Rise wallet within one to two days of approval, then take 1 to 3 business days to a bank by ACH, or within hours, up to a day, in crypto.

What else can block a Select payout?

• Microscalping: on funded accounts, more than 50% of your trades and more than 50% of your profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds. Miss either and you cannot request a payout, although the account does not fail.
• A negative cycle: after a payout, losses must be won back before the next request.
• An open request: one at a time per account.
• The daily loss limit on Daily: a soft breach that stops trading until 6:00 PM ET, not a failure.
• Hedging: opposite positions in the same product group, even across your accounts, put every account involved in violation, forfeit the period’s profits, and can lead to a permanent ban.

The full rules for every Tradeify plan are in our Tradeify payout rules guide, and the evaluation side of Select in our Tradeify Select account review.

When do Select payouts lead to a live account?

Three payouts on one account, or ten in total since your last move to live, make you eligible to be considered for Tradeify Elite. Tradeify adds that these thresholds are not automatic qualification, that most traders are not moved live as soon as they reach them, and that its team reaches out when a trader is selected.

If you are selected, all simulated and evaluation accounts close. Each funded account with at least one payout becomes an Elite account starting at a $0 balance, with an 80/20 split; a 50K Elite has a $2,000 end of day drawdown. Profit made since your last payout does not carry over. The details are in our Tradeify live account guide.

Tradeify Select vs Phidias Express to Live

Phidias first: Express to Live bought as a one-time payment bundles the evaluation and the funded account in one price, and your first payout converts the account to LIVE. No buffer, no daily loss limit, no consistency rule, no minimum days, and a drawdown that never trails.

The honest reading: On the 50K, Tradeify Select is cheaper at the checkout while its GEMS code runs (it ends October 31, 2026; on the 25K, 100K and 150K our PHIDIAS price is lower). It also gives a bigger drawdown in dollars, a better split, and repeated payouts from the same funded account. Ours pays one fixed bonus before LIVE, and our drawdown is smaller, but it is static: it never trails your highest close, nothing has to stay on the account as a buffer, and the step to LIVE is set by a rule, not a selection.

Our record from purchase to payout is 6 hours 18 minutes, and 90% of Phidias payouts are processed in under 30 minutes, every payout within 24 hours. Once LIVE, payouts are available every day at 80/20, with no payout cap, no consistency rule and no minimum days. One-time payment prices with code PHIDIAS: $69 (25K, standard $277), $144.60 (50K, $723), $180 (100K, $900), $225 (150K, $1,125).

Two honest notes. Express to Live positions must be closed before the end of the trading day, and a position left open at the deadline disqualifies the account. And our monthly subscription accounts do have an activation fee, from $83 to $169: only the one-time payment includes the funded account. Both are on our rules page, and our daily payout prop firms guide compares the firms that pay every day.

Tradeify Select payout rules 2026: frequently asked questions

What are the Tradeify Select payout rules?

After passing the Select evaluation you pick Select Daily or Select Flex, and the choice is permanent. Daily lets you request every day, but only the profit above a fixed buffer ($1,100 to $3,600 by size), from the second payout up to 2 times the profit made since the last one, and a cap of $600 to $2,500. Flex pays every 5 winning days, up to 50% of your total profit and a cap of $1,250 to $4,500. Both pay 90/10, with a $250 minimum and no consistency rule.

What is the Tradeify Select max payout?

For accounts bought on or after September 1, 2026, Select Daily caps each request at $600 (25K), $1,250 (50K), $1,750 (100K) and $2,500 (150K). Select Flex caps it at $1,250, $2,500, $3,500 and $4,500, and never above 50% of your total profit. Accounts bought before September 1, 2026 keep the older caps: $600, $1,000, $1,500, $2,500 on Daily and $1,250, $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 on Flex.

What is the Tradeify Select Daily buffer?

The buffer is the profit you must leave on a Select Daily account: $1,100 on a 25K, $2,100 on a 50K, $2,600 on a 100K and $3,600 on a 150K, so balances of $26,100, $52,100, $102,600 and $153,600. You can never withdraw below it, and Tradeify says the buffer does not change during the life of the account.

How does the Tradeify Select Daily 2x rule work?

Tradeify calls it the Daily Continuity Rule. From the second payout, you can request up to 2 times the profit earned since your last payout, within the cap for your size, and only if the balance stays above the buffer. Tradeify’s example on a 50K: $250 of new profit allows a $500 request, and $100 of new profit allows nothing, because the minimum payout is $250.

How many days do you need for a Tradeify Select Flex payout?

Five winning days per payout cycle. A winning day is a day with at least $100 of profit on a 25K, $150 on a 50K, $200 on a 100K, $250 on a 150K and $750 on the 300K. There is no minimum balance: once you have 5 winning days you can request up to 50% of your total profit.

Can you switch from Select Daily to Select Flex?

No. Tradeify says the payout policy you pick when you activate the funded account is permanent for that account, with no refund or exchange. To get the other policy you have to buy and pass another Select evaluation. You can, however, run Daily on one funded account and Flex on another.

How long does a Tradeify Select payout take?

Tradeify’s payout policy says a payout usually arrives within 24 hours once your Rise onboarding is complete, and up to 72 hours over a weekend. Its comparison table lists a 24 hour guarantee for Select Daily and standard processing for Flex, while the homepage advertises 1 hour payouts. Only one payout request can be open per account at a time.

Does Tradeify Select have a consistency rule on payouts?

No. The 40% consistency rule applies to the Select evaluation only, or 50% with the paid add-on. Once funded, neither Select Daily nor Select Flex has a consistency rule. What still applies is that every payout after the first needs a positive profit in the current cycle, and that more than 50% of your trades and of your profit must come from trades held longer than 10 seconds.

Do Tradeify Select payouts lead to a live account?

They can, but not by rule. Three payouts on one account, or ten payouts in total, make you eligible to be considered for Tradeify Elite. Tradeify says most traders are not moved live as soon as they reach these thresholds. If you are selected, all simulated accounts close and each Elite account starts at a $0 balance, with an 80/20 split.
