From a $15,000 Tradeify Payout to $250,000 Across Five Firms in a Year

On May 13, 2026, the trader @rickytradez posted on X that he had crossed $250,000 in cumulative payouts across five prop firms, marking the milestone exactly one year after his first $15,000 payout, which he attributes to Tradeify.

The post is a dated, public anniversary note rather than a fresh withdrawal receipt. It identifies May 14, 2025 as the date of the first $15,000 payout from Tradeify and May 13, 2026 as the day the cumulative figure across five firms passed $250,000. No screenshot, transaction reference, or certificate accompanies the message in the body shared here, so the evidence rests on the public, timestamped X post itself.

Tradeify, founded in June 2024 in Boca Raton, sits at the center of this story as the firm that issued the trader's first documented payout. The firm runs a 90/10 profit split and lets traders on its Growth and Lightning plans keep 100 percent of the first $15,000 in profit before the split applies, a structure that aligns neatly with the round $15,000 figure cited in the post. Tradeify reports more than $200 million paid out to date, a number it has stated publicly and that has not been independently verified here.

The proof does not establish which Tradeify plan or account size funded the original $15,000, nor which instruments were traded or over what duration the profit accrued. The $250,000 cumulative total spans five firms the trader does not name beyond Tradeify, so only the Tradeify portion is anchored to a specific counterparty. Readers should treat the broader figure as a self-reported career tally rather than a verified single-firm payout.

What the post does show, plainly, is a one-year arc that begins with a documented relationship with a US futures firm founded less than two years before the milestone. For prospective traders evaluating Tradeify, the useful signal is narrow but real: a public claim of a $15,000 payout in May 2025, consistent with the firm's stated first-$15K structure, from a trader who has continued posting under the same handle a year later.
