Make about $2,000 of new profit before the next payout (minimum profit).
Payout frequency: Daily.
Typical processing time: ~3 hours.
Path to a live account: At Tradeify's discretion.

What can cost you a payout

End-of-day trailing drawdown: the floor sits $2,000 below your highest end-of-day balance and moves up when you close a day at a new high (never down). Losses during the day only count at the close.
Daily loss limit: $1,250. Losing more than that in a single day breaks the rule.
Breaking the consistency rule doesn't fail the account, but it blocks the payout until your profit is spread over more days.
