Pine Script Strategies for Tradeify — Growth, Select & Funded Account Guide

Tradeify is one of the fastest-growing futures prop firms in 2026 — built for systematic traders with two distinct evaluation paths, an EOD trailing drawdown model, and 90% profit split from day one of funding. Here is everything you need to pass either eval with a Pine Script strategy.

Tradeify Overview

Tradeify is a futures-only prop firm that launched and scaled rapidly by offering trader-friendly evaluation rules: an End-of-Day trailing drawdown (so intraday volatility doesn't work against you), a generous 90% profit split on funded accounts, and two evaluation paths designed for different trading styles. As of 2026, Tradeify supports trading through Tradovate and Rithmic, making it fully compatible with TradingView Pine Script automation via TradersPost webhooks.

What distinguishes Tradeify from firms like Apex or MFFU is the flexibility in evaluation structure. Rather than one standard evaluation path, Tradeify offers Growth and Select — different rule sets that suit different systematic strategies. Choosing the right path for your script's P&L profile is the first critical decision when approaching a Tradeify evaluation.

EOD Trailing Drawdown Explained — The Key Structural Advantage

The End-of-Day trailing drawdown is the same mechanism that Topstep pioneered and that has become increasingly popular across the prop firm industry. It is one of the most significant structural advantages a prop firm can offer algorithmic traders, and Tradeify's implementation of it makes it particularly well-suited for Pine Script automation.

Here is how EOD trailing drawdown works: the drawdown limit trails up based on your account's balance at the end of each trading day — not based on your intraday peak equity. This is a critical distinction. On a volatile day where your account reaches $53,000 intraday on a winning trade before pulling back to close at $51,500, the trailing drawdown only advances based on the $51,500 closing balance — not the $53,000 intraday high.

For a Pine Script trader, this means your strategy can experience normal intraday volatility — a position that goes against you before reversing and closing green — without that intraday swing counting against your drawdown cushion. Your stop is your stop for risk management purposes, but an intraday drawdown that recovers before session close does not permanently reduce your available drawdown buffer the way a peak-to-trough or intraday trailing model would.

Growth Eval — Best Choice for Systematic Strategies

The Growth path is the better choice for most Pine Script algorithmic traders for one simple reason: there is no consistency rule. Your script can generate $500 on Monday, $0 on Tuesday (flat day, no signals), $2,000 on Wednesday on a strong trend day, and $500 on Thursday — and hit the $3,000 profit target in an irregular but valid pattern. No single-day rule restricts how much of your total profit can come from one session.

The soft daily loss limit on the Growth path is another algorithmic-friendly feature. Unlike a hard daily limit that immediately terminates your trading ability for the session (and potentially flags your account), the Growth soft limit pauses trading when you reach it. The account is not failed — trading simply halts for the day. For a systematic strategy with a properly configured daily kill switch, this distinction is largely academic because your Pine Script's kill switch should stop trading before the firm's soft limit is reached anyway. But the safety net of a pause rather than a failure reduces the consequence of edge cases where the kill switch and the firm limit interact unexpectedly.

Select Eval — The 40% Consistency Rule for Pine Script

The Select path introduces Tradeify's 40% consistency rule: no single trading day can account for more than 40% of your total profit target at the time of evaluation completion. On a $3,000 target, no single session can contribute more than $1,200 of that $3,000.

For discretionary traders, this rule can be challenging — a single strong day might naturally produce $2,500 of a $3,000 target. For systematic Pine Script strategies, the rule is actually easier to satisfy than it sounds. A strategy producing 2–4 signals per session with fixed dollar risk will naturally distribute P&L across multiple sessions without any special configuration. The challenge only arises if your strategy has a single extremely strong session very early in the evaluation — for example, hitting $1,500 profit in session one of a $3,000 target. After that session, you need to let the remaining $1,500 accumulate across enough sessions that no single remaining day exceeds 40% of the growing total.

The Select path has no hard daily loss limit, which is a meaningful advantage for strategies that occasionally have larger drawdown days. If your script sometimes loses $800–1,200 in a session during a choppy market, the absence of a hard daily limit means those larger loss days don't automatically fail the evaluation — as long as they don't breach the EOD trailing drawdown maximum.

How Pine Scripts Work With Tradeify

The standard automation setup for Tradeify is identical to other US futures prop firms: TradingView Pine Script on a continuous-contract chart (ES1!, NQ1!, MES1!, or MNQ1!) generates alerts on bar close, TradingView sends those alerts as webhooks to TradersPost, and TradersPost routes the order to your Tradovate or Rithmic account on Tradeify.

For the Growth path, the daily kill switch in the Pine Script can be set conservatively — for example, halting trading if daily P&L drops below -$1,500 on a 50k account — which provides substantial cushion above both the soft daily limit and the EOD trailing drawdown maximum. The kill switch fires at end of the day or at the point the loss threshold is crossed, whichever comes first.

For the Select path, consider adding a daily profit cap to the script as well as a daily loss limit. If today's session has already produced $900 on a $3,000 target where you're at 60% completion, stopping at $900 ensures that session's contribution stays below 40% as the remaining P&L accumulates in future sessions. The Pro plan's kill switch supports both daily loss and daily profit limit settings.

Automation — TradersPost + Tradovate/Rithmic

Tradeify explicitly allows automation on both evaluations and funded accounts. The preferred execution path is through TradersPost, which acts as the middleware between TradingView alerts and your prop firm broker account. TradersPost supports Tradovate and Rithmic — both of which are supported by Tradeify — and can route one TradingView alert to multiple Tradeify accounts simultaneously (useful for traders running multiple evaluations in parallel).

The alert payload from TradingView to TradersPost is a simple JSON string that specifies the action (buy/sell/close), ticker, quantity, and optional order type. The Pro plan's script includes pre-formatted TradersPost webhook payloads compatible with Tradeify's broker connections, eliminating the setup troubleshooting that commonly derails new algo traders in the first week.

Which Plan — Starter vs Pro for Tradeify

Ready to paste into TradingView and connect to TradersPost for immediate use.

Pro plan ($149): Recommended for 100k and 150k accounts trading full-size ES or NQ contracts, or for traders running multiple 50k accounts simultaneously. Adds multi-contract scaling, configurable daily profit cap (essential for Select path consistency management), TradersPost webhook payloads formatted for multi-account routing, and advanced session filtering options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Tradeify eval path is better for algorithmic trading?

The Growth path is generally better for systematic trading. No consistency rule means your script can hit the profit target in any combination of daily sessions without restriction. The Select path's 40% consistency rule adds a constraint that requires either a daily profit cap in your script or careful monitoring to ensure no single session contributes too large a percentage of the total target.

Does Tradeify allow automated trading?

Yes. Tradeify permits algorithmic and automated trading on evaluations and funded accounts. The standard setup is TradingView Pine Script alerts connecting to TradersPost, which routes orders to Tradovate or Rithmic on your Tradeify account. Confirm the current funded-account automation policy directly with Tradeify before going live.

What is the Tradeify Select consistency rule?

No single trading day can account for more than 40% of your total earned profit at evaluation completion. On a $3,000 target, no single session can contribute more than $1,200. Systematic strategies with moderate, predictable daily P&L naturally comply — the rule primarily affects discretionary traders who produce windfall single-day results.

Does Tradeify use a trailing drawdown?

Yes. Both Growth and Select use an EOD (End-of-Day) trailing drawdown. The maximum drawdown floor advances based on your closing balance at end of each trading day — not intraday peaks. Intraday equity swings that recover before the close do not permanently reduce your drawdown cushion.

Which instruments can I trade on Tradeify?

Tradeify is futures-only. Supported instruments include ES, NQ, MES, MNQ, CL (crude oil), GC (gold), and other CME and CBOT futures contracts. Forex and stock CFDs are not available on Tradeify.

Should I use Starter or Pro for Tradeify?

Starter is ideal for 50k Growth or Select evaluations trading MES or MNQ micro contracts. Pro is recommended for 100k and 150k accounts on full-size ES or NQ, or for traders running 3+ evaluations simultaneously who need multi-account TradersPost webhook routing and Select path daily profit cap configuration.
