@Fun_Trades1 Posts First $500 Tradeify Payout, Citing $60 Start

Trader @Fun_Trades1 posted a $500 payout from Tradeify on X on April 2, describing it as the first withdrawal in a run that began with a single $60 evaluation purchase on a $25K Lucid account.

The post, dated April 2 on X, documents a $500 payout from Tradeify and frames it as the first withdrawal in a longer arc that began with a single $60 evaluation purchase on a $25K Lucid plan. The trader states that the eval was passed, the account was funded, and additional evals were purchased and passed along the way. By the time of the post, the trader reports holding five funded accounts near their next payout, plus an active Tradeify evaluation.

The headline arithmetic in the post is simple and the trader makes it explicit: a $60 starting outlay has now been recouped, with the first $500 payout covering the cost of every evaluation purchased to reach this point. The proof here is the payout itself and the trader's own accounting of fees against withdrawal, not a claim about a single winning session or a specific strategy.

“$60 started this whole thing. First payout just paid it all back and then some.”— @Fun_Trades1 on X

Tradeify, founded in June 2024 and based in Boca Raton, runs US futures evaluations across CME, COMEX, NYMEX, and CBOT, with account sizes of $25K, $50K, $100K, and $150K and a one-time evaluation fee rather than monthly billing. On Growth and Lightning plans the firm advertises a structure in which traders keep 100% of the first $15,000 in profits before moving to a 90/10 split. The post does not specify which Tradeify plan the $500 payout was issued under.

The proof does not establish the instrument traded, the account size on the Tradeify side, the strategy used, or the time elapsed between funding and this first withdrawal. It also does not independently verify the broader $200M+ paid-out figure the firm reports. What it does show is a documented small payout, posted publicly under the trader's handle, with the trader's own cost basis disclosed alongside it.

For readers evaluating funded futures programs, the value of this proof is its modesty. A $500 withdrawal is not a headline number, but it is the point at which a trader's fees and first cashout net to zero, and the post is transparent about exactly that threshold rather than projecting forward.
