Tradeify vs. Alpha Futures: costs, rules and payouts

Which accounts are being compared?

This guide compares Tradeify Select 50K with the standard 40% consistency option and Alpha Futures Zero 50K. It follows those accounts through evaluation and the initial funded or qualified stage. Growth, Lightning, Alpha Standard, Advanced and Direct have different conditions; the two firm guides explain where they fit.

Select has a one-time evaluation fee and a consistency test. Zero bills monthly and has a daily loss guard. After evaluation, their withdrawal requirements diverge further.

Reference amounts were checked on October 21, 2026. They are before discounts, optional extras and applicable checkout charges. Tradeify also has legacy rules, including payout caps tied to purchase date. This comparison uses the new-account rules for purchases after September 1, 2026 where that distinction applies.

Evaluation rules side by side

Sources: Tradeify pricing reference, Select evaluation rules, Alpha Zero overview.

The earliest permitted pass is a rule boundary, not a timetable to aim for. Neither the $50K label nor the $3,000 target describes how much you can lose. Current equity and the current drawdown floor determine that distance.

What the fees look like over time

At the reference prices, a Select purchase costs more than Zero’s first monthly charge. A second Zero payment reverses that comparison. Budget for the actual charges, including another attempt if needed.

These are arithmetic scenarios using the cited list prices. They assume unchanged rates and exclude extras. They do not predict passing or assume a paid reset changes the billing date. A rebill may have its own reset treatment; confirm that before purchasing a separate reset.

Write down the first charge, renewal date, reset cost, cancellation method and when billing ends after passing. Include platform or exchange charges if they apply. The lowest initial total can be a poor fit if you cannot support the recurring commitment.

Where MOH fits into the comparison

Moh has supplied 30% off Tradeify and 50% off Alpha Futures. Those percentages have not been independently applied to these named plans in checkout. Eligibility, expiry, stacking and renewal treatment remain unconfirmed, so the tables use published prices.

Compare final quotes for the same size, plan, platform and add-ons. Record whether a promotion affects the initial purchase, later payments or resets. Keep a copy of the terms attached to the order.

Consistency changes the path to passing

For Select’s 40% evaluation rule, divide the largest qualifying winning day by total qualifying net profit. A $1,500 best day against $3,000 total profit is 50%. Keeping that best day unchanged, $3,750 total profit makes it 40%: $1,500 ÷ 0.40 = $3,750. Alpha’s Qualified Zero rule is stricter at the boundary: it requires a share below 40%, so that exact $3,750 total would not qualify there. Alpha consistency policy.

That is an illustrative calculation, not a recommendation to keep trading until a target is reached. Additional losses reduce total profit and can worsen the ratio. A larger winning day changes the numerator again. Use the firm’s definition of a trading day and qualifying profit.

Zero’s evaluation omits that condition, but the qualified stage introduces one. Select’s standard evaluation includes it, while Select’s funded payout paths below do not. Reviewing only the evaluation can therefore give the wrong impression of the withdrawal process. Select evaluation, Zero account stages.

Daily loss controls and the hard floor

Zero’s daily guard can pause trading while the account is still above its maximum loss limit. Alpha includes realized and unrealized results and relevant costs; liquidation does not promise an exact fill at the threshold. Daily Loss Guard.

Select’s lack of an evaluation daily limit leaves the trailing floor fully in force. A $2,000 starting allowance can become a much smaller remaining cushion after losses. An EOD calculation schedule does not permit an intraday breach followed by a recovery.

The drawdown guide explains the calculation, daily versus total limits, and the effect of withdrawals.

What changes after evaluation?

Tradeify asks Select traders to choose Flex or Daily for the funded account; that choice is permanent for that account. Alpha moves Zero traders into qualified-account conditions. Each stage has payout requirements alongside its loss limits.

Tradeify’s post-September-1 limits above differ from older accounts. Subsequent Select requests require positive net cycle profit, and only one request may be open at a time. Alpha limits this payout schedule to four requests per month. A headline cap does not remove the other conditions or review requirements.

Evaluation profit is a passing metric. Do not treat it as money already available for withdrawal from the next stage. Moving to a live brokerage account is also a separate process; a funded or qualified label alone does not establish that trades are live.

A payout example with the gross amount shown

Suppose a Zero qualified account has $2,400 of profit, meets the winning-day and consistency requirements, and has no other restriction. Half that profit is $1,200, below the $1,500 request cap. Under Alpha’s stated split, a $1,200 request removes $1,200 from the account and pays $1,080 to the trader. Retained account profit would be $1,200 before other adjustments.

This conditional example separates the request, payment and remaining balance. Calculate all three before withdrawing. The hard floor still matters afterward. Alpha payout accounting.

Platforms, trading permissions and eligibility

Confirm the platform and connection you will use. Check your instruments, included market data and contract counting. A funded scaling plan can start below the evaluation’s maximum position size.

Review these points against the exact plan’s policies:

• Session hours: mandatory flattening time, holidays and overnight positions.
• News: restrictions on opening, closing or holding trades around releases.
• Automation and copying: permitted tools, account ownership, hedging and coordinated trades.
• Eligibility: age, country, identity documents, account limits and payout-provider access.
• Billing: cancellation, refunds, resets, inactivity and recurring charges after failure.

The firm guides link the relevant policies. A feature offered by a platform is not automatically permitted by the firm’s agreement.

A practical way to choose

Use your records to compare the rules with your actual trading. For a recent sample of sessions, identify the largest winning day, calculate consistency and check whether a daily guard or trailing floor would have stopped the account. Include costs.

Then review the funded stage. Count qualifying days, calculate the maximum gross request and calculate the balance left afterward. Compare the cost of attempts and renewals you can afford without relying on an expected payout.

Select’s one-time billing may appeal if recurring charges are a concern. Zero removes evaluation consistency but adds a daily guard and later qualified consistency. Evaluate those conditions against your process rather than assuming either plan will be easier to pass.

Questions before you purchase

Does a larger discount make Alpha cheaper?

Only final quotes can establish that. A percentage needs an eligible plan, underlying price and renewal terms. The supplied MOH rates are not verified quotes for these particular accounts.

Can I change between Flex and Daily later?

Tradeify describes the Select funded payout-path choice as permanent for that account. Review both before selecting one. A new account is a separate purchase.

Are payout caps the amount that arrives in my bank?

Check whether the figure is a gross request or a net payment. Alpha explicitly pays 90% of the request. Any applicable provider fees or taxes are outside these reference calculations.

Which company is more reliable?

This article compares documented terms. It does not audit solvency, independently verify payout histories or rank reliability. Review the contracting entity, agreement and current support responses.

What should I save from checkout?

Keep the plan, size, platform, purchase date, rule version, initial and recurring charges, code result, cancellation policy and receipt. That record helps support determine which conditions apply if terms change later.
