Earn2Trade Rules

Earn2Trade is a 1-step prop trading firm that offers 3 account sizes ranging from $25,000 to $100,000. Established futures prop firm offering the Gauntlet Mini evaluation. Partners with real brokers for funded accounts. Educational resources included. The firm supports NinjaTrader, Finamark and gives traders access to futures markets. Expert advisors are not permitted, so all trading must be manual or semi-manual. Copy trading is not allowed.

The evaluation uses trailing eod (floor moves up at end of day), which means your drawdown floor moves up at end of day when your closing balance exceeds the previous peak. This is more forgiving than intraday trailing because temporary spikes in profit during the day do not permanently raise the floor. On a $100,000 account, if you close the day up $2,000, the floor rises by that same amount.

The 2.2% daily loss limit acts as a circuit breaker. On the $100,000 account, that means you cannot lose more than $2,200 in a single day. This is calculated from your starting daily balance, which is an important distinction -- only realized losses count, giving more breathing room for open positions. Profit split starts at 80% and scales up to 90%, with payouts processed monthly.

Common mistakes traders make on Earn2Trade: Misunderstanding the trailing drawdown is the number one account killer. Many traders assume their profits create a permanent cushion, but with trailing eod (floor moves up at end of day), your floor rises with your peak equity. Hitting the daily loss limit by overleveraging after a losing streak is extremely common. On the $25,000 account, your daily limit is only $500 -- two bad trades at 2.5% risk each and you are done for the day. Forgetting to close positions before market close triggers an overnight holding violation, which can end your evaluation regardless of P&L. Always verify the current rules on the official rules page before starting.

Who Earn2Trade is best for: Disciplined day traders who can manage risk within the trailing drawdown structure. The EOD calculation gives you breathing room during the session. Futures traders exclusively -- the firm does not offer forex or CFD markets. The entry fee of $150 for the $25,000 account is mid-range compared to competitors.

Earn2Trade pays out monthly with a profit split starting at 80% and scaling up to 90%. The profit split structure means you keep 80% of all profits on your funded account. As you demonstrate consistent performance, the split increases -- rewarding disciplined traders who stay funded longer.

The scaling from 80% to 90% is Earn2Trade's incentive for longevity. Most traders who pass the evaluation but get their accounts terminated within 60 days never see the higher split. Building a sustainable trading approach is more valuable than chasing the profit target aggressively.
