@david_sfarco Reports $118K in Prop Payouts, Adds Tradeify for 2025
On January 10, 2025, the trader @david_sfarco posted on X that he had collected $118,000 in prop firm payouts over the prior three months and said he intends to add Tradeify and Topstep to his rotation as he targets $500,000 in payouts this year.
The $118,000 figure cited in the post is attributed by the trader to Apex Trader Funding, not Tradeify. The reference to Tradeify is a stated 2025 plan to begin trading there, not documentation of a received Tradeify payout. The $500,000 target is a forward-looking goal set by the trader.
The post, published from the handle @david_sfarco on X, reports $118,000 in cumulative prop firm payouts across the last three months of 2024 and into early January 2025. The trader attached a video he describes as proof of a payout from Apex Trader Funding, and states he was never denied a payout by that firm. Tradeify is named not as the source of the $118,000 figure but as one of the firms he plans to begin trading with as he scales activity in 2025.
For context, Tradeify is a US futures prop firm founded in June 2024 and based in Boca Raton, Florida, operating on CME, COMEX, NYMEX, and CBOT products. The firm reports having paid out more than $200 million to traders to date, a figure it states publicly and that is not independently verified. Tradeify advertises a 90/10 profit split, with traders on its Growth and Lightning plans keeping 100% of the first $15,000 in profit before the split applies.
“In 2025, we're shooting for $500k in props and will document the ENTIRE journey on X.”— @david_sfarco on X, January 10, 2025
The post does not establish a track record at Tradeify itself. No account size, instrument, strategy, or specific Tradeify payout is documented in the post or its attached media. The $118,000 total is attributed by the trader to Apex, and the reference to Tradeify is forward-looking, framed as part of a 2025 plan to diversify across multiple prop firms rather than as evidence of funds already received from Tradeify.
The value of the post for readers evaluating Tradeify is therefore narrow but real. It documents an active futures trader, with verifiable payout history at another well-known firm, choosing to allocate capital and time to Tradeify alongside Topstep. That is a sourcing signal, not a performance claim, and it should be read as such until a Tradeify-specific payout from this trader is publicly documented.
