Earn2Trade Prop Firm Review

Updated September 27, 2026

Earn2Trade is a Wyoming futures education and evaluation provider. Trader Career Path offers staged account growth; Gauntlet Mini offers evaluations up to $200K. Evaluation targets vary by account: TCP25 uses $1,750 (7%), while the $50K target is $3,000 (6%). Evaluations and LiveSim use EOD drawdown; Live accounts have different rules. For evaluations purchased from July 6, 2026, the funded split depends on each withdrawal, with 60/40 on TCP400.

Firm Overview

Earn2Trade is a futures evaluation and education firm, operating as Earn2Trade LLC from Sheridan, Wyoming, with disputes arbitrated in Austin, Texas. It is not regulated, and its terms say so directly: “E2T is not a broker-dealer… nor does E2T directly offer any financial advice.”

The structure is unusual and worth understanding. Earn2Trade runs the evaluation; the funded account is then issued by one of three partner proprietary trading firms - Helios Trading Partners, Appius Trading Limited and Kronos Proprietary Trading. Our earlier review described Helios as a clearing house and named it as the only partner. Both were wrong: Helios is a prop firm, and it is one of three.

The firm deserves real credit for one thing. It publishes its own pass rate in the site footer: 8.89% for 2025. It also discloses that only 18% of funded accounts ever took a withdrawal. Almost nobody in this industry publishes numbers like that.

The Profit Split Is Tiered By Withdrawal Size

For evaluations purchased on or after July 6, 2026 and funded accounts earned through them, the split is determined by each withdrawal. Earlier purchases retain their applicable terms. Reaching the account-size threshold earns 80% on the full withdrawal amount; below it, 50% applies. Source: official July update.

“The profit split depends on withdrawal size, is not based on accumulated profit, it is based on the single withdrawal size.”

The practical consequence is the part nobody reports: a trader who takes small, frequent withdrawals is permanently on 50%. To reach 80% you must let profit accumulate and withdraw in larger blocks. That is a meaningful change in how you should plan your payouts, and it is the opposite of the “take profit early and often” instinct.

Older accounts may retain the earlier split. Check the evaluation purchase date before applying the new tiers.

The 10-Day Minimum Has Been Removed

Our earlier review listed “10 minimum trading days” as a drawback. Earn2Trade deleted that rule on 6 July 2026, and we were criticising them for something they no longer do. Their own announcement:

“Big news: You can now pass your evaluation without waiting out 10 trading days.”

Two honest caveats. The removal applies only to evaluations purchased on or after 6 July 2026 - earlier buyers are still on the old rule. And there is a practical floor: because of the 30% consistency rule, Earn2Trade itself notes that “a trader will need at least four profitable trading days to complete an evaluation.”

The Product Line

The fee is a monthly subscription, auto-renewing every 30 days until you pass or cancel. List prices run $150 to $550 a month, currently halved by a promotion. Resets are $100 as standard, and the Trader Career Path includes one free reset after each rebill. Nothing is refundable: “we do not provide refunds after purchase.”

For non-professional traders, a $139 setup fee applies on LiveSim, but it is deducted from your first withdrawal rather than paid upfront - so you only pay it if you profit. That is a fair arrangement and worth noting.

The Drawdown Changes Once You Go Live

Our earlier review described end-of-day drawdown throughout. That is not quite right:

• Evaluation and funded LiveSim: end-of-day trailing, updated on closed positions at the close.
• Funded Live accounts: intraday trailing - “updates your minimum balance continuously, based on both open and closed positions throughout the trading day.”
• TCP200 and TCP400: fixed drawdown applies; the TCP200 floor is $194,000. Do not apply the TCP fixed-floor exception to GM200.

And a detail that catches people out even on the end-of-day accounts: “traders can still lose their evaluation or funded trading account if their open equity falls below the minimum balance in real time.” So even the EOD drawdown has a live kill switch on open positions.

The Rule That Ends Funded Accounts

Missing from our earlier page, and the most consequential rule on this one:

“Unscheduled absences of five consecutive trading days will result in account termination.“

A week’s holiday, unannounced, ends the account. There is also a 120-day dormancy rule, and a 30% consistency rule during the evaluation (no single day may be 30% or more of total profit - it does not fail you, but you must keep trading until the ratio falls).

Payouts

Payment providers are assigned by the prop firm and depend on region; the listed methods are not a free-choice menu. Funded accounts have no consistency, minimum trading-day or separate payout-buffer requirement, but the net minimum and first-withdrawal activation deduction still apply. Sources: withdrawal policy and funded rules.

Note the withdrawal fees are real and not trivial - a $50 flat fee on a $1,000 withdrawal is 5%. Combined with the tiered split, the arithmetic strongly favours fewer, larger withdrawals.

Trading Rules

• News trading: permitted with no restrictions - a genuine advantage for futures traders.
• Overnight and weekend holding: not permitted. All positions must be closed by 15:50 CT.
• Copy trading: prohibited, in the evaluation and after funding.
• Automation and EAs: the rules are discretionary rather than clear. Nothing says EAs are allowed or banned; the prohibited-conduct policy bars software or AI that “could potentially… provide an unfair advantage”. We would not rely on running an EA here without asking first.
• Contract limits: the progression ladder depends on current balance and profit; the table lists maximums, not unconditional starting size. Exceeding the applicable limit is a hard fail.
• Accounts: up to 5 concurrent evaluations and 3 funded accounts in total; at most 1 funded account can be Live.
• Instruments: futures only - CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT.

Who Earn2Trade Actually Suits

Earn2Trade is one of the more honest operators in this sector. It publishes its pass rate, it names its partner firms, its Trustpilot score is high and clean, news trading is unrestricted, and the setup fee only bites if you actually make money. For a serious futures trader, the platform range is excellent and the rules are mostly clear.

The economics deserve careful thought. The evaluation bills monthly, so a slow pass is an expensive one. The split is tiered by withdrawal size, which quietly penalises the trader who takes money out often - and the $50 withdrawal fees compound that. Live accounts trail intraday, which is harsher than most people expect. And five consecutive days away from the screen will end a funded account.

Consider it if you trade futures daily, you can pass quickly enough to keep the subscription cheap, and you are willing to let profit build and withdraw in larger blocks to reach the 80% tier.

Avoid it if you want to withdraw small amounts frequently, you hold positions overnight, or you cannot commit to trading most weeks without a break.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Earn2Trade’s profit split?

For evaluations purchased on or after July 6, 2026 and their resulting funded accounts, each withdrawal earns 50% below the account-size threshold or 80% at or above it. TCP400 pays 60%. The thresholds run from $1,500 on $25K to $5,000 on $200K. Earlier purchases retain their applicable terms.

Does Earn2Trade have a minimum trading day requirement?

The 10-day minimum was removed for evaluations purchased from July 6, 2026. Evaluation consistency still requires every day to contribute less than 30% of total profit, so at least four profitable days are needed in practice. Funded accounts have no minimum-day or consistency requirement.

Is Earn2Trade a monthly subscription?

Yes. Evaluations renew every 30 days until passed or cancelled. Funded accounts have no evaluation subscription. For non-professional LiveSim traders, the $139 activation fee is deducted from the first profitable withdrawal; professional and Live data charges differ.

Does Earn2Trade have a trailing drawdown?

Evaluations and LiveSim use EOD trailing drawdown, with the current minimum balance enforced against open equity. Live accounts use intraday trailing drawdown, except TCP200 and TCP400, which use fixed drawdown.

What happens if I stop trading at Earn2Trade?

Five consecutive trading days of unscheduled absence can terminate a funded account. Contact the funded provider before planned time away and check the account agreement.

Can you hold trades overnight at Earn2Trade?

No. Positions and working orders must be closed during the 15:50-17:00 CT daily break; some products have earlier cutoffs. Weekend holding is not permitted. News trading is permitted.
