Running Sovren on Tradeify.

Sovren is independent software. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Tradeify, and Tradeify is a trademark of its owner. Prop firm rules change often; this page summarizes Tradeify’s public help pages as of October 29, 2026. Always check the firm’s current rules before you enable any automated strategy on an evaluation or funded account.

Tradeify rules that matter for an automated strategy

• Automation. Tradeify publishes its own rules for automated trading, and high-frequency trading is not allowed. Read the current guidelines for your account type before you start.
• Platform. Sovren runs in NinjaTrader 8. Check which platforms and connections Tradeify currently offers for your plan.
• Drawdown. All plans use an end-of-day trailing drawdown that recalculates at the close but is enforced in real time against open P&L.
• Size. 1, 4, 8 and 12 minis (10, 40, 80 and 120 micros) on 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K accounts.
• Consistency. 40% in the Select evaluation, 35% on Growth funded accounts, and 20% rising to 30% on Lightning funded accounts.
• Close-out. All positions must be closed by 4:45 PM ET.

How Sovren trades, in prop-firm terms

• One session. Sovren measures the 9:30–9:35 AM ET opening range on 1-minute NQ or MNQ bars and only takes signals from 9:35 to 11:00 AM ET. Many days it does not trade at all.
• Fixed stop. Every trade is closed at market if price moves a set distance against it.
• Fixed target. Every trade has a fixed profit target that is much smaller than the stop. Most trades are meant to close at the target, but one full stop costs far more than one win makes, so a single losing day can give back many winning days.
• Daily limits. 2 trades per session by default (adjustable from 1 to 3), and one losing trade ends the day. In normal conditions the most Sovren can lose in a day is about one full stop.
• News days. Sovren sits out scheduled high-impact news sessions by default.

The stop is managed by the strategy, so NinjaTrader must stay running and connected while a trade is open, and in a fast market the exit can fill worse than the set stop distance. Prop firms measure their loss limits on open (unrealized) P&L in real time, so leave room for slippage. Full details are on how Sovren trades the open.

How Sovren’s fixed target and stop fit Tradeify’s drawdown

Sovren is built for end-of-day drawdown accounts, and every Tradeify plan uses one. An open trade that dips and then reaches its target doesn’t drag the limit up during the day; the limit only moves on your closing balance. It is still enforced in real time against open P&L, so a full stop at your size, plus slippage, has to fit inside the remaining drawdown.

Sovren trades only in the morning session, so it is flat well before Tradeify’s 4:45 PM ET close. Its daily profit is capped by its fixed target and trade limit, so very large single days, the thing consistency rules guard against, are unlikely at small sizes.

Choosing a size on Tradeify accounts (general guidance)

• Start small. Begin with the smallest size the account allows, often MNQ, and only size up once you have seen how Sovren behaves on that account.
• Check the drawdown against losing days. Make sure the firm’s maximum loss limit, measured on open P&L, can absorb more than one losing day in a row at your size, with room left for slippage, before the limit has trailed up.
• Respect the firm’s limits. Stay within the firm’s contract limits and any daily loss limit, and recheck them before you start, since firms change their rules.

The live record on the results page is traded on 2 NQ contracts; don’t copy that size onto a small prop account. See running Sovren on MNQ for how micros fit smaller accounts.

Drawdown and contract limits differ by plan and size; check Tradeify’s current rules for your account.

This is general information, not financial advice or a recommendation to trade any size. Choose your own size based on your own risk tolerance and your firm’s current rules.
