Earn2Trade rules, explained
Earn2Trade sells 2 evaluations (Trader Career Path Evaluation and The Gauntlet Mini) and funded accounts (TCP LiveSim Funded and Gauntlet Mini LiveSim Funded) in 25K, 50K, 100K, 150K and 200K sizes. Below are the drawdown, daily loss limit, consistency, and payout rules for every plan, read from Earn2Trade's own help center. Check the linked source before you trade: firms change rules often.
Evaluations
The drawdown trails your highest end-of-day balance, and stops once it reaches the starting balance.
| Size | Profit target | Max drawdown | Stops trailing at | Daily loss limit | Consistency | Max minis / micros |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,750 | $1,500 | $25,000 (start) | $550 (fails) | 30% to pass | 3 / 30 |
| 50K | $3,000 | $2,000 | $50,000 (start) | $1,100 (fails) | 30% to pass | 6 / 60 |
| 100K | $6,000 | $3,500 | $100,000 (start) | $2,200 (fails) | 30% to pass | 12 / 120 |
- Consistency: no single day may be 30% or more of total P&L. Going over means more trading, not failure.
- The floor rises with the end-of-day balance until it reaches the starting balance. Open losses below the floor intraday fail the attempt.
- The daily loss limit runs 5 PM to 5 PM CT on open and closed P&L plus commissions; hitting it fails the attempt.
- A contract ladder by balance must be followed in real time; exceeding it fails the attempt.
- Flat 3:50 to 5:00 PM CT. News trading is allowed. Trade copiers are prohibited.
- The $139 activation fee is taken from the first funded withdrawal, not paid upfront. One free reset with each monthly rebill.
