Tradeify in one paragraph
The 'simple and safe' pick: true EOD trailing drawdown on every product, one-time fee, no activation, 90/10 immediately, and a daily payout route (Select Daily). Only firm at this price with zero drawdown-switch gotcha. Respect the hedging auto-breach rule, opposing positions overlapping more than 10 seconds can kill the account and forfeit profits. The account ceiling is 5 funded accounts, or 8 if you hold Select 300K V2 accounts, which sit on top of the standard 5 and are themselves capped at 3 on that size.

An 80% off first month makes a 100K 1-Step cheap to start when the offer is running, and there is a real live track (LIVE ELITE, 80/20, uncapped, daily payouts). The catch is extraction, not entry: sim payouts are capped at $25,000 per trader before a forced live transition, the ATD payout mechanic (a day counts only at $200+ AND at least 23% of your best day) punishes lumpy P&L, and the 1-Step runs intraday trailing. The cap is less absolute than it looks — after a live liquidation you can be approved back into sim for up to $150,000 lifetime in $25,000 increments — but that path is discretionary and runs through a blown live account. Cheap to try, grindy to scale.
