Tradeify removes the micro scalping rule from its evaluation
Tradeify has removed the micro scalping rule from the evaluation stage: you no longer need over 50% of your trades and profit to come from positions held longer than 10 seconds to pass the challenge. The rule still applies on funded accounts and can block your payouts.
Tradeify has removed the micro scalping rule from the evaluation stage. From now on you can complete the challenge without worrying about how long you hold each trade. The rule still applies on funded accounts — which is exactly where you get paid.

What changes with the micro scalping rule
Tradeify's micro scalping rule required that over 50% of your trades and over 50% of your profit come from positions held longer than 10 seconds. Breaking it could block account activation or a payout request.
- 🟢 Gone from the evaluation. It no longer applies while you complete the challenge. You can hold trades for as long — or as little — as you want to hit the target.
- 🔴 Still live on funded. On a funded account the rule is untouched: over 50% of trades and over 50% of profit above the 10-second mark.
- 🟡 The filter moves, it doesn''t disappear. The check shifts from the moment you pass to the moment you cash out. If your system is pure scalping, the problem is still there — just later.
Before vs now
| Stage | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation | Rule active (>10s on >50% of trades and profit) | No rule |
| Account activation | Could be blocked by micro scalping | Not blocked by this rule |
| Funded account | Rule active | Rule active (unchanged) |
| Payouts | Could be blocked by micro scalping | Can be blocked by micro scalping |
What does NOT change
The rest of Tradeify''s rulebook stays the same: drawdown, profit targets, minimum trading days, trading hours and payout conditions are unaffected by this announcement.
Who does it affect?
- Growth, Select Daily and Select Flex: these are the evaluation plans, so they are the only ones that benefit from the change.
- Lightning: as instant funding (no evaluation), it starts straight in the stage where the rule does apply. Nothing changes for this plan.
- Pure scalpers: you gain room to pass, but the real exam is still your first payout.
Verdict
It''s a genuine improvement, though a contained one. It cuts friction in the part of the process where most accounts are lost to a technicality rather than to risk management, and it removes the most frustrating outcome of all: hitting the target and being blocked at activation. Read it without optimism, though — if your trading lives below the 10-second mark, Tradeify still isn''t your firm. The filter is no longer at the door; it''s at the cashier.
