Alpha Futures vs Tradeify
Alpha Futures Premium & Advanced vs Tradeify: No Consistency After Qualification (2026)
On Alpha Futures Premium and Advanced Qualified Accounts, we have no consistency rule on the qualified stage (Consistency Rule). Tradeify Growth markets a fast evaluation (no consistency in eval) but documents 35% consistency once you are sim-funded. You land in the same place on paper (qualified with us, sim-funded with Tradeify), but Growth carries extra rules at that stage that Premium and Advanced do not. Simulated funds on both; performance fees are performance-based; nothing guaranteed.

The edge we are comparing (one rule only)
Traders often compare evaluation speed and miss what happens after you qualify.
A common question traders ask:
After I pass, will a consistency rule cap my performance-fee requests, or am I done with best-day limits on the qualified stage?
Premium and Advanced carry no consistency rule on Qualified Accounts; on Growth, Tradeify adds a 35% consistency rule once you are sim-funded, even though the evaluation had none. How you pass is a separate topic, and this page only covers the qualified stage.
Alpha Futures: no consistency on Premium & Advanced Qualified
Sources: Consistency Rule · Premium overview · Performance fee policy
Stage | Premium & Advanced |
|---|---|
Evaluation | 50% consistency: largest day ≤ half of net eval profit |
Qualified Account | No consistency rule |
Performance-fee gate (qualified) | 5 winning days of $200+ between requests; up to 4/month |
Split | 90% of requested amount |
Drawdown | EOD trailing MLL on all plans (MLL article) |
What “no consistency on Qualified” means
Once you pass on Premium or Advanced, we do not enforce a best-day percentage cap between performance-fee requests on the qualified stage. You still follow MLL, performance-fee eligibility, and plan-specific caps (Maximum withdrawal request).
The trade-off we publish upfront: you accept a 50% consistency rule during evaluation to get then benefit from a zero consistency rule once Qualified.
Zero is different: no eval consistency, but 40% consistency once Qualified between performance fee requests (Zero overview). Check out the comparison between our Zero plan and Tradeify Growth in the table below
We do not offer Tradeify-style skip-evaluation / Lightning entry, evaluation-first only (alpha-futures.com).
Tradeify: Where Growth adds consistency back
Plan | Evaluation | After qualification (Tradeify wording: sim-funded) | Performance-fee day gate |
|---|---|---|---|
Growth | No consistency (1-day pass marketed) | 35% consistency at request time | 5 profitable trading days with per-size daily minimums (Growth payout policy) |
Select | 40% + min 3 days | None on Daily / Flex funded paths | Varies by funded path (Daily vs Flex) |
Lightning | Skip eval (instant sim-funded) | 20% → 25% → 30% by cycle | No minimum trading-day count (Lightning docs) |
An example of how Growth can catch you out
- You pass the Growth evaluation quickly because nothing caps your best day during the eval.
- When you request a performance fee, the 35% rule applies and no single day can account for more than 35% of your total profit.
- Tradeify Growth also requires five profitable trading days, with daily minimums that vary by account size, before each request. Premium and Advanced Qualified Accounts do not use that kind of best-day cap once you qualify.
- A trader who picked Growth mainly for eval speed can still run into qualified-stage rules that Premium and Advanced skip on consistency.
Select ‘Funded’ is Tradeify’s closer match to Alpha’s Premium/Advanced Qualified (no consistency when sim-funded), but Select’s evaluation is stricter (40% + 3 days).
Side-by-side: qualified stage focus
AF Premium / Advanced Qualified | Tradeify Growth (sim-funded) | Tradeify Select (funded) | |
|---|---|---|---|
Consistency after pass | None | 35% | None |
Consistency on eval | 50% | None | 40% consistency + minimum 3 days |
Days gate before performance-fee request | 5 winning days of $200+ | 5 profitable days + per-size daily minimums (Growth payout policy) | Path-dependent (Daily vs Flex) |
Activation | Plan-dependent (Premium overview) | None (Tradeify activation FAQ) | None |
Skip evaluation? (paths in this table) | No | No | No |
Note: Tradeify Lightning is not in this matrix; it skips the evaluation stage entirely (see plan table above). Alpha Futures does not offer a Lightning-style skip path.
Premium or Advanced Qualified against Tradeify Select sim-funded is the fair match here, since both drop consistency after pass. Against Tradeify Growth sim-funded the difference is clearer: no 35% cap once you qualify with us, and you are not going from a loose evaluation into a much tighter sim-funded stage.
When each path fits
Alpha Futures Premium or Advanced fits traders who:
- Will accept 50% eval consistency to drop all consistency on Qualified later on
- Want one set of rules across evaluation and qualified stages (the evaluation consistency rule is 50%, and none applies after passing)
- Prefer evaluation-first entry
Tradeify Growth fits traders who:
- Want no consistency rules on eval and accept 35% when sim-funded
- Are comfortable only learning the sim-funded consistency rules after they qualify, if they did not read that section at checkout
Tradeify Select funded fits traders who want no consistency after pass like Premium/Advanced, but must pass a stricter eval first.
Neither removes MLL, skill, or simulated-environment risk.
