I am writing this review to document my experience with Tradeify after reaching a payout.
After months of trading, paying for evaluations, resets, and funded accounts, I finally reached my first payout eligibility. Immediately after submitting the payout request, my dashboard was locked with the message:
“Due to suspicious activity, you no longer have access to this platform. Please contact support.”
No explanation. No rule violation cited. No prior warning.
I contacted support immediately and followed up multiple times. It has now been over 7 days with no response, no request for clarification, no KYC request, and no explanation of what “suspicious activity” supposedly occurred.
Important context:
I traded within stated hours
I respected drawdown and risk limits
No copy trading
No prohibited strategies
Same trading style I used to pass evaluations and get funded
No issue was ever raised until a payout was requested
Tradeify was perfectly happy taking my money for evaluations and resets, but once it came time to pay out, communication stopped entirely and access was revoked.
Locking a trader’s account immediately after a payout request — without explanation and without support follow-up — is unacceptable business practice.
I am not saying Tradeify is a scam, but this experience raises serious concerns about payout transparency and customer support reliability. Traders should understand the risk of reaching payout and suddenly being locked out without due process.
I will update this review if Tradeify responds and resolves the issue.
Additional details to verify my review
I am providing the following information to confirm my review is genuine and factually accurate.
Account information
Firm: Tradeify Funding
Platform: Tradovate
Account ID: FTDFYSLD100920734339
Account type: Funded Select Account
Payout structure: Select Account – Daily Payout option enabled
Account size: $100,000
Buffer requirement: $2,600
Account status at time of payout request
My account balance at the time of payout request was approximately $103,500, which is $3,500 above the $100,000 starting balance.
This balance was above the required $2,600 buffer.
Under the Select Account Daily Payout rules, I submitted a payout request for $500, which was within all stated limits.
Timeline
I traded this funded Select account throughout December 2025.
Trading activity was consistent and within published rules.
Immediately after submitting the payout request, my Tradeify dashboard access was locked.
The message displayed: “Due to suspicious activity, you no longer have access to this platform.”
No prior warnings were issued.
No rule violations were cited.
No explanation was provided.
Compliance facts
Single trader, single account.
No copy trading.
No expert advisors (EAs).
No VPN usage or location switching.
Trades executed within allowed hours.
Risk limits, drawdown rules, buffer requirements, and daily payout rules were respected.
The same trading behavior was previously accepted during evaluation and funding.
I was never contacted to complete KYC or submit identification.
Update:
Tradeify has since restored access to my account. However, no explanation was provided for the original lockout that occurred immediately after my payout request, and no clarification was given as to whether this could happen again on future withdrawals.
I am still waiting for written clarification regarding what triggered the “suspicious activity” restriction and how traders can avoid this situation going forward. I will update this review again if Tradeify provides transparency on this matter.
