Tradeify Activation Fees & Inactivity: One-Time or Monthly?
Tradeify Futures has no activation or recurring subscription fee. Learn how manual funded activation and weekly evaluation activity differ.
No activation fee and no recurring account subscription
Tradeify’s official pages describe accounts as one-time purchases rather than recurring subscriptions. Its activation-fee article specifies no additional activation fee for Growth, Select or Lightning Funded. These are Tradeify Futures terms at review time, not rules for all futures firms or Tradeify FX. No activation fee does not mean a free evaluation or the removal of every external trading cost.
Separate three different events
- Purchasing the account: pay the product price shown at checkout.
- Receiving access after purchase: normally immediate according to the official FAQs.
- Activating funding after passing: a manual dashboard action without an additional activation fee.
- Lightning Funded: a one-time purchase without a further activation fee, rather than an evaluation to pass first.
Funded activation is not automatic
After meeting evaluation objectives, Tradeify tells traders to select Activate Account on the account card in their dashboard. The FAQs describe activation as instant, but you must perform the action. Before activating, confirm all objectives and individual and household funded-account limits. Reaching a profit target alone does not prove every passing condition is complete. Do not assume an evaluation has become funded before checking its actual status.
No evaluation deadline is not permission for inactivity
The official FAQs say Growth and Select evaluations have no completion time limit, but require at least one trade per week, Monday through Friday, on each evaluation account. An account can be closed for inactivity after an email warning. Activity in one account does not cover all others. This wording should not automatically be extended to funded accounts or banked passed evaluations; clarify those statuses separately.
Managing several evaluations
If you own three evaluations and trade only two this week, the third needs independent activity monitoring under the published rule. Keep account numbers and last activity in a checklist and review warnings rather than relying on your last login. Logging in or opening a chart is not a documented substitute for a trade. Do not place arbitrary trades simply to create activity; plan around your strategy and ask support about holidays or extended interruptions.
Why credentials may be delayed
The FAQs say purchases during the 5–8 PM Eastern Time reconciliation window can delay account activation until reconciliation completes, usually within one or two hours. Do not convert this into a fixed year-round local time because daylight saving affects the offset. Before purchasing again, check payment success, email folders and order status. Another purchase may create another account, not simply resend credentials.
Budget without relying on an outdated price
Combine the current purchase price with any platform or data service you actually need and account for execution costs in your trading plan. No recurring subscription does not guarantee permanent account validity: the source links continuation to passing, failing or expiry. After failure, do not assume resets are free or available for every account type. Use current plan information and the checkout total rather than an old price embedded in an article.
