At Tradeify, our goal is to fund disciplined, consistent traders who demonstrate sustainable strategies. We have clear rules regarding hedging and the use of different contract sizes to ensure fair and transparent trading across our programs.
In short, we do not allow hedging at all. It is prohibited for All accounts. It is 100% prohibited.
What Is Hedging and Why It’s Not Allowed
Hedging, in the context of our rules, refers to taking opposing positions (e.g., long and short) on the same or correlated instruments simultaneously—often with the intention of reducing net exposure or gambling on which trade works out.
Examples of prohibited hedging behavior:
Going long on ES and short on MES at the same time
Opening both a buy and sell position on NQ
Using one position to intentionally offset risk in another
Tradeify does not allow hedging because it:
Does not reflect real-world capital risk behavior
Can be used to exploit the evaluation environment
Undermines risk assessment and trader consistency
One Instrument Type at a Time: Micros vs Minis
To ensure consistency and avoid gaming of risk models, traders are not permitted to trade micro and mini futures contracts simultaneously.
You must choose one contract type per account:
✅ Trade only micros (e.g. MES, MNQ, MCL)
✅ Trade only minis (e.g. ES, NQ, CL)
❌ Do not trade both at the same time
Switching between them across different sessions is allowed, but you cannot open or hold both types of positions at once.
How We Monitor This
Our system automatically monitors for:
Contradictory trades (hedging)
Cross-instrument exposure (e.g. ES long + MES short)
Mixed contract sizing (e.g. holding NQ and MNQ together)
Violations will result in account review and may lead to:
Disqualification (Challenge accounts)
Payout denial
Account closure
