Choosing Your Account Type

Compare 2-Step, 1-Step, and Instant Funding crypto accounts — profit targets, drawdown rules, leverage, and pricing to pick the right path for your trading style.

Tradeify 247 offers three distinct paths to funded trading. Each account type is designed for different trading styles and experience levels. This guide will help you choose the right option.

Also available: the 3-Step Promotional Plan is a separate limited-time offer — a $247,000 account for a $47 one-time fee, with its own rules that differ from the three plans below.

2-Step Evaluation

The most affordable path to funding.

Complete two phases to earn your funded account:

  • Phase 1: Hit 10% profit target

  • Phase 2: Hit 5% profit target

Drawdown: Static - Your drawdown limits are fixed at 3% daily and 6% max. They never change, giving you consistent risk parameters throughout your evaluation.

No Payout Lock: 2-Step Funded accounts keep the Static 6% max drawdown from the evaluation. The floor is fixed at your starting balance minus 6% and never moves — requesting a payout does not change it. 2-Step is the only funded account type without a payout lock.

Choose 2-Step if you:

  • Want the lowest entry price

  • Prefer predictable, unchanging drawdown limits

  • Have a consistent trading strategy you want to prove over time

1-Step Evaluation

The fastest path to funding.

Complete a single phase to earn your funded account:

  • Profit Target: 12%

Drawdown: Static - Your max drawdown is fixed at your starting balance minus 6% and never moves during the evaluation. Same predictable limits as the 2-Step.

Payout Lock (Funded): After passing, your funded account gets a Payout Lock — when you request your first payout, the drawdown floor locks at your starting balance permanently.

Choose 1-Step if you:

  • Want to get funded as quickly as possible

  • Have a proven strategy and want just one evaluation phase

  • Prefer a higher profit target in a single phase over splitting it across two

Instant Funding

Skip the evaluation entirely.

Start trading with funded capital immediately:

  • No profit targets - Trade at your own pace

  • No fixed minimum trading days - but the 20% Consistency Score means at least 5 profitable days in practice

  • 20% Consistency Score required for payouts

Drawdown: End-of-Trade Trailing Balance - Your max drawdown floor rises with your highest closed-trade balance, each time a trade closes at a new high (intraday, not at the daily reset), capped at your starting balance.

Payout Lock: When you request a payout, your drawdown locks at your starting balance ($0 profit). This ensures your account remains stable while you withdraw profits.

Leverage: 2:1 - Instant Funding uses reduced leverage (2:1 on all pairs) compared to evaluation accounts.

Choose Instant Funding if you:

  • Want to start trading immediately with no evaluation

  • Prefer trading at your own pace without targets

  • Are willing to pay more upfront for immediate access

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I switch account types after purchase?

A: No, once you purchase an account type, you cannot change it. Choose carefully based on your trading style and goals.

Q: Why does Instant Funding have lower leverage?

A: Since there's no evaluation phase, reduced leverage (2:1) helps manage risk on immediately funded accounts.

Q: What's the difference between Static and Trailing drawdown?

A: Static drawdown stays fixed at your starting balance minus the drawdown amount. Trailing drawdown moves up as your highest closed-trade balance rises (each time a trade closes at a new high, intraday — not at the daily reset), locking in profits but reducing your available drawdown buffer.

Q: Which account type has the best chance of success?

A: Success depends on your trading style, not the account type. 2-Step has lower targets per phase but requires two phases. 1-Step is faster with just one phase. Instant Funding has no targets but requires consistent profitability for payouts.
