Tradeify Evaluation Rules (2026 Update): What Changed and Why It Matters
Tradeify updated its evaluation rules in early 2026. Here's what changed, who benefits, and what to adjust if you're mid-evaluation.
Tradeify rolled out their 2026 rule updates in January. The headline changes affect daily-loss calculations, payout consistency, and minimum trading days.
Change 1 — Daily loss cap is now static for the entire evaluation: previously trailed your highest end-of-day balance. Now it's locked at the starting balance. Practical impact: you can no longer 'reset' your daily loss buffer by hitting big morning profits. Plan your morning sizing as if the daily-loss cap is a hard floor.
Change 2 — Minimum trading days reduced from 7 to 5: faster evaluation completion possible. The traders who benefit most are those who hit their profit target in the first 5 sessions and want to immediately start the funded period.
Change 3 — Consistency rule tightened: best day cap reduced from 40% to 35% of total monthly earnings on funded accounts. This is significant — it pushes funded traders to spread their P&L more aggressively.
Change 4 — News trading restrictions: high-impact economic releases now have a 30-minute trading lockout (was 15). Affects FOMC, NFP, CPI especially.
Adjustments to make:
If you're mid-evaluation: stop relying on big morning days to 'buy room' for afternoon losses. The trailing buffer is gone.
If you're funded: tighten your consistency targeting. Aim for best days under 30% to give yourself buffer against the new 35% cap.
If you trade news: build the 30-minute lockout into your strategy. The 9:30 ET opening minutes are still tradeable for most setups.
