If youβre trading with Tradeify Futures Prop Firm, understanding the Consistency Rule is one of the most important steps before you request a payout. Whether youβre in a Lightning Instant Funding account or an Advanced/Growth Sim account, this rule determines when you can withdraw your profits.
π What Is the Tradeify Consistency Rule?
The Tradeify Consistency Rule requires traders to demonstrate steady performance instead of relying on one oversized win.
-
Lightning Accounts (after Sept 12, 2025): Gradual rule β 20% (first payout), 25% (second), 30% (third+).
-
Lightning Accounts (before Sept 12, 2025): Flat 20% rule applies to every payout.
-
Advanced/Growth Sim Accounts: 35% maximum per day.
π Formula:
Biggest profit day Γ· Consistency % = Total profit required
Example: If your biggest day was $1,000 on a Lightning account (20% rule), you need $5,000 total profit before payout.
π Why Does Tradeify Use This Rule?
The consistency rule is designed to:
-
β Reduce risk β prevents βall-inβ gambling style trades
-
β Encourage discipline β forces steady growth across days
-
β Stabilize payouts β ensures traders can sustain long-term success
π‘ How It Works in Practice
Letβs break it down with examples:
-
$25K Lightning (20% first payout): Biggest day = $300 β Need $1,500 total before payout.
-
$50K Lightning (25% second payout): Biggest day = $500 β Need $2,000 total before payout.
-
$150K Growth Sim (35% rule): Biggest day = $3,500 β Need $10,000 total before payout.
If your best day exceeds the limit, you donβt lose the account β instead, your profit target increases until your results fall within the allowed percentage.
