Earn2Trade Marks 10 Years With a $165 Bundle of Six TCP25 Attempts, and It Closes on October 10
Earn2Trade has turned ten years old and has marked it by putting three TCP25 evaluations and three resets into a single one-time purchase of $165, which the firm advertises on its own home page as $27.50 per attempt. The offer closes on 10 October. The headline is the anniversary, but the number funded traders should look at is $27.50 against the $100 that Earn2Trade currently lists as the standard reset price on a TCP25 seat, because that gap is the whole offer and it says something specific about how often traders need a second try.
What Is Actually in the Bundle
Earn2Trade’s banner is unusually plain for this industry. It reads, in the firm’s own words, that the 10-Year Anniversary Bundle is three TCP25 evaluations plus three resets at $27.50 per attempt, ending 10 October. The firm puts the one-time price at $165 and says the bundle is available while supplies last.
The arithmetic ties out. Three evaluations and three resets is six attempts at the $25,000 Trader Career Path level, and $165 divided by six is $27.50. That is worth spelling out because bundle pricing in this sector is frequently quoted per attempt in a way that does not survive division. This one does.
Earn2Trade describes the bundle as part of a wider anniversary campaign running from 1 October to 18 October, which it calls the largest in its history. The firm has not published what the rest of that campaign contains, and JoinProp is not going to guess at it. What is live and verifiable on the firm’s own site today is the bundle and its closing date.
One caveat belongs next to the offer rather than in a footnote. “While supplies last” is not a quantity. Earn2Trade has not said how many bundles exist, so the 10 October date is a ceiling on availability and not a guarantee of it. Anyone intending to buy should treat the stated deadline as the later of two possible endings.
The Real Mechanism Is Resets, Not a Discount
Most prop promotions cut the entry fee. This one sells attempts in bulk, and the difference matters more than it looks.
A reset on a TCP25 account is currently listed by Earn2Trade at $100. Buying three resets inside a $165 bundle means the marginal cost of a second, third or fourth attempt collapses. For a trader who expects to pass first time, the bundle is mostly irrelevant and a straight discount would be worth more. For a trader who does not, it is the cheaper structure by a wide margin.
That framing cuts both ways, and it is worth being honest about which way. Pre-purchasing six attempts is a quiet acknowledgement by both sides that most evaluations are not passed on the first try. Our data on prop firm survival rates is the relevant context: when first-attempt conversion is low across the industry, a bundle of attempts is a rational purchase rather than a pessimistic one. It is also, from the firm’s side, a way to collect six attempts of revenue up front from a trader who might otherwise have stopped after one.
Neither reading is a criticism. It is simply a different product from a percentage off, and traders should price it against their own history rather than against the headline. A trader who has passed two evaluations in three tries elsewhere is buying insurance they may not need. A trader on their first futures evaluation almost certainly is not.
What a TCP25 Seat Involves
The parameters below were read off Earn2Trade’s own pricing page rather than from any secondhand summary. A TCP25 evaluation runs on a $25,000 virtual starting balance with a $1,750 profit goal, a $1,500 end-of-day drawdown and a $550 daily loss limit. Position size is capped at three contracts under the firm’s progression ladder. There is a 30% consistency requirement, trading closes at 15:50 CT, and a trader may hold up to five concurrent accounts.
Three of the softer terms are worth naming because they are not universal. There is no minimum trading day requirement, news trading is permitted, and the trading platforms and the firm’s video library and study guides are included rather than billed separately. Earn2Trade also gives a free reset when an account is rebilled, which is a separate thing from the three paid resets in the bundle.
The $550 daily loss limit against a $1,500 end-of-day drawdown is the structural point. The daily figure is roughly a third of the total, which means a trader has a practical maximum of about three bad days rather than one catastrophic one. Readers who are unclear on how a daily cap interacts with an overall limit will find it set out in our explainer on drawdown in prop trading, and our comparison of 12 prop firm challenges puts these numbers beside the rest of the market.
One figure JoinProp could not verify is the standard monthly TCP25 fee. Earn2Trade’s pricing page renders its prices in the browser rather than in the page source, so the subscription cost did not resolve in the checks run for this article. Rather than publish an unverified number, we have left it out. The $27.50 per attempt and the $100 reset price are both confirmed on the firm’s own pages.
What Earn2Trade Has Not Published
Several things sit outside the verified set and should be treated as open questions rather than details. The firm has not stated how many bundles are available, whether the three evaluations in a bundle have to be used consecutively or can be held, whether they expire, or whether a passed evaluation inside the bundle leads to a funded account on exactly the same terms as a standalone pass.
It has also not published the remaining offers in the 1 October to 18 October campaign, their terms or their closing conditions. Traders waiting to see whether something better arrives before 18 October are making a bet on information that does not exist publicly yet.
The one thing an anniversary genuinely does establish is longevity, and in this sector that is not a small thing. The same week this bundle went live, another futures firm shut down after two years. Ten years of continuous operation is a data point about counterparty risk that no discount can substitute for, though it is a statement about the firm’s past rather than a promise about any individual payout. Our page on prop firm payouts covers what traders should actually verify before trusting a payout process.
What This Means for the Broader Prop Industry
A ten year anniversary is a strange thing to be newsworthy, and the fact that it is tells you where this industry sits. The modal prop firm is a few years old, and firms closing with funded traders still on the books has stopped being surprising. A firm that has run a subscription-based futures evaluation through an entire cycle of platform disputes, regulatory attention and price wars has demonstrated something structural, not promotional.
The bundle itself points at a shift worth watching. Competing on the entry fee has largely exhausted itself: when every firm runs a code every week, published prices stop carrying information and the discount stops persuading anyone. Selling attempts instead moves the competition to a number that is harder to fake, because a firm can only afford cheap resets if its evaluation economics genuinely work. Expect more of this, and expect it to separate firms that priced attempts deliberately from firms that are discounting resets because nothing else is left to cut.
There is a caution attached. Cheap attempts make it easier for a trader to keep paying for a strategy that is not working, and six pre-purchased tries can turn into six funded attempts at the same mistake. The structure is sound; whether it helps a particular trader depends entirely on whether the attempts get used to fix something between them. That is not a question the price tag answers.
