Tradeify's own products disagree on 7 terms.

R-multiple is break-even profit divided by that product's own maximum permitted loss — under 1.00 means you can lose more than you need to make to win the fee back. Day count assumes 1% account growth per day, capped by the product's own daily loss limit. Blank cells are figures the firm does not publish.
Each cell shows every value that firm's current products hold. Where a firm disagrees with itself the products are named — those are the rows a firm-level table has to flatten, and the ones that decide whether your strategy is allowed. 7 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.
