Last verified: November 1, 2026 — checked against Earn2Trade’s official site. Earn2Trade is futures-only, with two evaluation programs — Trader Career Path (TCP) and Gauntlet Mini (GAU) — and funded offers come through its partner firms. A July 2026 overhaul changed several rules (older pages and reviews still show the old ones). NinjaTrader is their recommended platform; Tradovate and Rithmic also work.
Earn2Trade Evaluation Rules (Both Programs)
| Program / Size | Price | Profit target | EOD drawdown | Daily loss limit | Max contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TCP 25K | $150/mo | $1,750 | $1,500 | $550 | 3 |
| TCP / GAU 50K | $190 / $170/mo | $3,000 | $2,000 | $1,100 | 6 |
| TCP / GAU 100K | $350 / $315/mo | $6,000 | $3,500 | $2,200 | 12 |
| GAU 150K | $375/mo | $9,000 | $4,500 | $3,300 | 15 |

- End-of-day drawdown and a 30% consistency rule — no single day can be 30% or more of your total profit, which effectively means at least 4 profitable days.
- No minimum trading days (removed in July 2026; the old 10-day rule is dead).
- The Progression Ladder now fails you: exceeding your contract step in the evaluation used to be a warning — since July 2026 it fails the evaluation.
- Monthly subscription; resets run $100–$155 by size (TCP includes a free reset on each rebill). News trading is allowed; be flat by 3:50 PM CT. Up to 5 evaluations and 3 funded accounts.
Earn2Trade Funded Rules (LiveSim and Live)
- Tiered split — read this carefully. Since July 2026 the split depends on withdrawal size: below your threshold you keep only 50%; at or above it you keep 80% of the full amount. Thresholds: $1,500 (25K) · $2,250 (50K) · $3,000 (100K) · $4,000 (150K) · $5,000 (200K). (The top TCP tier is fixed at 60/40.)
- $100 minimum withdrawal, no minimum days, no buffer to maintain, no funded consistency rule.
- First LiveSim withdrawal requires $239 of profit — the $100 minimum plus a one-time $139 LiveSim activation fee deducted from it.
- Weekly payouts: processed Wednesdays (email your request by 2 PM CT the Friday before), by bank wire or crypto via Rise/Deel, $10 fee per withdrawal (waived over $500).
- TCP scaling: hit your funded target and withdraw the full profit to upgrade — TCP accounts grow up to $200K or $400K with up to 30 contracts. Gauntlet Mini has no scaling plan.
- Live accounts pay professional data fees (~$140/month per exchange on Rithmic, $156 on NinjaTrader); LiveSim non-professionals pay only the $139 one-time fee.
Earn2Trade FAQ
What are the funded rules for Earn2Trade?
Withdrawals are weekly with a $100 minimum and no buffer or minimum days — but the split is tiered: 50/50 below your size’s threshold ($1,500–$5,000) and 80/20 at or above it. The first LiveSim withdrawal needs $239 profit because the $139 activation fee comes out of it.
TCP or Gauntlet Mini — what’s the difference?
Same rules at shared sizes. TCP adds a scaling plan (grow to $200K–$400K) and a free reset on every rebill; Gauntlet Mini is slightly cheaper at 50K and is the only route to the 150K and 200K sizes.
Did Earn2Trade remove the 10-day minimum?
Yes — the July 2026 overhaul removed minimum trading days entirely. The 30% consistency rule still forces roughly 4 profitable days in practice.
