Earn2Trade Rules (Nov 2026): Career Path and Gauntlet Mini

The short version

Two evaluations: the Trader Career Path (TCP25, TCP50 and TCP100), which grows a funded account step by step, and the Gauntlet Mini (GM50 to GM200), a single phase. Both bill monthly with no time limit.
There's no minimum number of days, but the 30% consistency rule means at least 4 profitable days: no single day can be 30% or more of your total profit.
The drawdown trails your end-of-day balance in the evaluation and on LiveSim, and trails in real time on a Live account. Touching the daily loss limit, open trades included, fails an evaluation.
Be flat by 3:50 PM CT every day. News trading is allowed.
Funded, you need 5 new profitable days before each withdrawal. Withdrawals are paid weekly on Wednesdays, split 50% below a set size and 80% at or above it.

Earn2Trade's pages show one account size at a time, so the evaluation table uses the sizes they displayed on November 4: the TCP25 and the GM50. Evaluations bought from November 1, 2026 have a fixed contract limit instead of the old progression ladder.

The two evaluations

Account	Target	EOD drawdown	Daily loss
TCP25	$1,750	$1,500	$550
GM50	$3,000	$2,000	$1,100

From Earn2Trade's pages on November 4. The contract limit is 2 on the TCP25 and 4 on the GM50.

What fails an evaluation: touching the daily loss limit, going over the contract limit, touching the minimum balance (the EOD drawdown) or trading outside approved times. Any of them means a reset to carry on.
EOD drawdown: your minimum balance rises by your end-of-day profit. Close a day $100 up and tomorrow's minimum is $100 higher.
Daily loss: counts open and closed P&L plus commissions, from 5 PM to 5 PM CT, against the balance you started the day with. Earn2Trade's example: on a TCP25 with a $550 limit, a trade that is up $500 and closed at -$100 is fine, but P&L touching -$550 at any moment fails the evaluation, even if you never close.
Consistency: no single day can be 30% or more of your total profit. On a $3,000 target that is about $900. Make $1,200 in a day and you need $4,000 in total ($1,200 ÷ 0.3). Going over doesn't fail you; you keep trading. The rule doesn't apply on LiveSim or Live accounts.
Limits: up to 5 evaluations at once. The Trader Career Path gets a free reset when it rebills.

LiveSim, Live and the Career Path growth plan

After you pass: a LiveSim account (simulated capital on live data) or a Live account. LiveSim keeps the EOD drawdown and daily limit; Live uses a real-time trailing drawdown. Earn2Trade's pages list no upfront activation fee, no monthly subscription, no consistency rule and no buffer on either.
How many: up to 3 LiveSim accounts and 1 Live account at a time.
LiveSim cap: the total you can withdraw from LiveSim before you're moved to Live is $1,750 on the TCP25, $3,000 on the TCP50, $6,000 on the TCP100 and $5,000 on every Gauntlet Mini. It isn't a limit on a single withdrawal.

Career Path step	Target	Drawdown	Daily loss
$25K LiveSim or Live	$1,750	$1,500	$550
$50K Live	$3,000	$2,000 trailing	$1,100
$100K Live	$6,000	$3,500 trailing	$2,200
$200K Live	$11,000	Fixed at $194,000	$4,400

The TCP25 growth plan. Withdraw the profit goal at each step to unlock the next size. Contract limits: 2, 4, 8 and 15.

Withdrawals and the profit split

Profitable days: 5 new ones before every withdrawal, not necessarily in a row. A day counts if it makes at least $100 (TCP25), $150 (TCP50 and GM50), $200 (TCP100 and GM100), $250 (GM150) or $350 (GM200), even while the balance is below the starting balance.
Split: set by the size of each withdrawal, not your total profit. Below the threshold it is 50%, at or above it 80%. Thresholds: $1,500 on the TCP25, $2,250 on the TCP50 and GM50, $3,000 on the TCP100 and GM100, $4,000 on the TCP150 and GM150, and $5,000 on the TCP200 and GM200. The TCP400 is a fixed 60/40.
When: paid weekly on Wednesdays. Email your request by 2 PM CT on the Friday before. The minimum net withdrawal is $100.
Fees: Rise charges $50 a withdrawal outside the US and 1.5% inside it; Deel $50; Bayzat $5 to $40; direct crypto, in select cases, 0.735%. Rise can't pay traders in Iowa, Minnesota, South Carolina, Guam, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands or Haiti.

Questions about Earn2Trade rules

Is there a minimum number of days to pass Earn2Trade?

No. But because no single day can be 30% or more of your total profit, you need at least 4 profitable days to pass either evaluation.

Does Earn2Trade have a consistency rule?

Yes, in the evaluation: no single day can be 30% or more of your total profit. Going over doesn't fail you, you just keep trading. It doesn't apply on LiveSim or Live accounts.

Does the Earn2Trade daily loss limit include open trades?

Yes. It counts open and closed P&L plus commissions from 5 PM to 5 PM CT, and touching it at any moment fails the evaluation.

Can I hold positions overnight at Earn2Trade?

No. Positions and working orders must be closed by 3:50 PM CT, with earlier cut-offs for livestock and grain futures.

When does Earn2Trade pay withdrawals?

Weekly on Wednesdays, for requests emailed by 2 PM CT the Friday before, after 5 new profitable trading days. The minimum net withdrawal is $100.

What is the Earn2Trade profit split?

It depends on each withdrawal's size: 50% below a threshold and 80% at or above it, for example $2,250 on a GM50 or TCP50. The TCP400 is a fixed 60/40.
