Firm Rules
Key rules and guidelines for traders
Earn2Trade uses a single-phase Gauntlet Mini evaluation with a 6% profit target. Drawdown is EOD trailing (calculated at end-of-day based on closed equity) with a 3-4% maximum drawdown depending on account size. There is no daily loss limit enforced. A minimum of 5 trading days is required to pass the evaluation. Expert Advisors (EAs) and automated trading are prohibited without prior approval. News trading is permitted. Weekend holding is allowed on most futures contracts. Copy trading between accounts is not permitted. Hedging between Earn2Trade accounts is prohibited. Scalping is permitted. Overnight positions are allowed on contracts that support them. Accounts inactive for 30 consecutive days may be closed. Maximum contract limits apply based on the progression ladder (1-12 contracts depending on account tier). The Trader Career Path allows contract size progression as traders demonstrate consistent profitability.
Consistency Rules
Earn2Trade does not enforce a formal consistency percentage rule during the Gauntlet Mini evaluation phase. Instead, the Daily Loss Limit and Trailing Drawdown rules serve as the primary risk management controls. Traders must demonstrate steady performance across at least 5 trading days to pass the evaluation. The progression ladder (1-12 contracts) encourages consistent risk management rather than single large trading days.
