| Programme | Topstep Trading Combine $50K (Standard path) | Tradeify Select $50K |
|---|---|---|
| Market | Futures | Futures |
| Account size | $50,000 | $50,000 |
| Evaluation fee | $49 / month | Not published |
Profit target — explain simplyProfit target The profit an evaluation account must reach, without breaking any rule, to pass that phase.Example: $50,000 account with a 6% target: you must make $3,000.Watch out: Reaching the target does not override other rules such as minimum trading days.More plain-language terms | $3,000 | 6% |
Daily loss limit — explain simplyDaily loss limit The most an account may lose within one trading day. Breaching it usually fails the account or ends trading for the day.Example: $100,000 starting balance, 5% daily limit: a $5,000 loss in one day (often including open losses) breaches it.Watch out: Firms differ on whether it is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, and when the day resets.More plain-language terms | Optional $1,000, chosen at checkout | Not published |
Max drawdown — explain simplyDrawdown How far an account has fallen from a previous high point. A 'maximum drawdown' rule sets how far the balance may fall before the account fails.Example: An account peaks at $10,500 and falls to $9,800: the drawdown from that peak is $700 (about 6.7%).Watch out: Prop firms measure drawdown differently (static, trailing, end-of-day). Read the exact rule.More plain-language terms | $2,000 Maximum Loss Limit; trails end-of-day balance, locks at starting balance End-of-day trailing | Not published End-of-day trailing |
Minimum days — explain simplyMinimum trading days The fewest separate days you must trade before passing or requesting a payout, even if the target is reached sooner.More plain-language terms | No minimum listed; can pass in as few as two days | 3 |
Profit split — explain simplyProfit split The share of eligible profits a funded trader receives under the firm's payout rules.Example: An 80% split on $2,000 of eligible profit is $1,600 to the trader, before any payout conditions.Watch out: Payout timing, minimums and eligibility rules matter as much as the percentage.More plain-language terms | 90/10 (trader keeps 90%) | 90% |
| Payouts | XFA Standard: 5 winning days of $150+; min $125; max $2,000 per request on $50K | Funded: choose daily or 5-day payouts; no funded consistency rule |
| Platforms | TopstepX | Tradovate, WealthCharts, Tradesea |
Reset / retry — explain simplyReset Restarting a prop evaluation from the original balance and rules, usually for a fee, after failing or to start over.Watch out: Repeated resets add up — count them in the true cost of a programme.More plain-language terms | Reset $49 (Standard path); $149 activation fee per XFA earned | Reset available after failed evaluation |

About this data. Every rule and price is taken from the firm's own website on the date shown, with a link to the page. Firms change their rules often — confirm on the official page before you pay. “Not published” means we could not find the value on an official page; we never estimate it. Order is by your filters or alphabetical, never by commission. Prop-firm evaluations are paid products; most traders do not pass, and a funded account is not a guarantee of income.
