RiseworksAbout Earn2Trade
Earn2Trade is a futures prop firm from the United States, run by CEO Osvaldo Guimarães. It opened in September 2016, so it has been selling evaluations for ten years, longer than most of the firms it competes with have existed. It holds on Trustpilot across reviews.
The firm sells two programs. The Gauntlet Mini is a one-step evaluation in four sizes, from $50,000 to $200,000. The Trader Career Path starts at $25,000, $50,000 or $100,000 and keeps going after you pass: each time you withdraw the profit goal on your funded account, it moves up a size. Both are paid monthly while you evaluate, and both have the same evaluation rules.
Once you pass, you choose between two funded accounts at the same size. A LiveSim account trades simulated capital on real-time data. A Live account trades real money. Neither has a subscription, a consistency rule or a minimum number of trading days.
The profit split is the part to read closely. Earn2Trade pays 80% on a withdrawal at or above a set amount for your account size, and 50% on a smaller one. It is decided per withdrawal, not by how much profit you have built up.
Programs & Modes
Gauntlet Mini
A single-phase evaluation in four sizes. You need $3,000, $6,000, $9,000 or $11,000 in profit while staying inside an end-of-day drawdown, a daily loss limit, the progression ladder and a 30% consistency rule. There is no time limit, and with the consistency rule the fastest pass is four trading days. Pass and you take a LiveSim or Live account at the same size. Sizes 50K to 200K, from $68.00 a month.
Profit Split: 80% on withdrawals above the threshold, 50% below
Target $3,000 to $11,000 | Daily Loss $1,100 to $4,400 | Max Loss $2,000 to $6,000 | Contracts 6 to 16 Minis | Min Days 4 | Time ∞ Unlimited | Activation $139 (LiveSim only)
Trader Career Path
The same evaluation rules, with a funded account that grows. Withdraw the profit goal and the account upgrades to the next size. The 25K path runs $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 and $200,000, after which you get a custom offer. The 50K and 100K paths go up to $400,000. Each monthly renewal also adds a free reset. Sizes 25K to 100K, from $60.00 a month.
Profit Split: 80% on withdrawals above the threshold, 50% below
Target $1,750 to $6,000 | Daily Loss $550 to $2,200 | Max Loss $1,500 to $3,500 | Contracts 3 to 12 Minis | Min Days 4 | Time ∞ Unlimited | Activation $139 (LiveSim only)
Profit Split & Payouts
The split depends on the size of each withdrawal. Take out at least $1,500 on a TCP 25, $2,250 on a 50K, $3,000 on a 100K, $4,000 on the GM 150 or $5,000 on the GM 200 and you keep 80%. Anything smaller pays 50%. Payouts are processed every Wednesday for requests emailed by 2:00 PM CT the Friday before, with a $100 net minimum, through Riseworks, Deel, Bayzat or crypto.
Platforms & Vendors
You choose a data feed at checkout: Rithmic, NinjaTrader, BlackArrow or dxFeed with DeepCharts. Between them they cover twenty-three platforms, including NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, R Trader Pro, Sierra Chart, Quantower, ATAS, Bookmap, MotiveWave, MultiCharts and Jigsaw Daytradr. Platforms are free during the evaluation. A Live account pays its own market data: $140 per exchange a month on Rithmic or $156 on NinjaTrader.

60% Off All Accounts
Use code GUIDE for 60% off every Earn2Trade account, on both the Gauntlet Mini and the Trader Career Path. A TCP 25 comes to $60.00 a month and a Gauntlet Mini 50K to $68.00. The prices in our Challenges tab already include it.
News Trading Allowed
Allowed on the evaluation and on LiveSim and Live accounts. There is no blackout window around high-impact releases.
Free Resets on the Trader Career Path Allowed
Each renewal of a TCP subscription adds one free reset. They stack while the subscription is active and can be used whenever you like, but they only apply to the evaluation they came with and are lost if you cancel or pass.
Paid Resets Allowed
You can reset an evaluation at any time. It puts the balance back to the start without restarting the billing period. Current prices are $100.00 on the GM 50, GM 100 and every TCP size, $130.00 on the GM 150 and $155.00 on the GM 200. The TCP 100 is fixed at $100.00; the TCP 25 and 50 move with promotions but always cost less than a new subscription.
Approved Trading Hours Restricted
All positions and working orders must be closed from 3:50 PM to 5:00 PM CT. Livestock (GF, HE, LE) closes from 1:05 PM. Grains and oilseeds (XC, XK, ZC, ZL, ZM, ZS, ZW) must also be flat from 7:45 to 8:30 AM CT and from 1:20 PM. You can only trade during the exchange session for that product, and holiday closures apply.
Overnight and Weekend Holding Restricted
Not possible. Because everything has to be flat before 3:50 PM CT each day, nothing carries into the next session or over the weekend.
Consistency Rule (Evaluation Only) Restricted
No single trading day can account for 30% or more of your total profit while you are on the evaluation. Funded LiveSim and Live accounts have no consistency rule.
Progression Ladder Restricted
Your contract limit rises with your profit, and you have to manage it yourself in real time. On a 50K it is 2 contracts up to $1,500 profit, 4 up to $2,000 and 6 after that. Going over the limit is a hard breach and ends the account immediately. Up to ten micros (MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MGC, MCL, M6B, M6E, MHG) count as one standard contract.
Daily Loss Limit Restricted
$550 on the 25K, $1,100 on the 50K, $2,200 on the 100K, $3,300 on the 150K and $4,400 on the 200K. The same figure applies on the evaluation, on LiveSim and on Live.
Drawdown Restricted
End of day on the evaluation and on LiveSim: $1,500 on the 25K, $2,000 on the 50K, $3,500 on the 100K, $4,500 on the 150K and $6,000 on the 200K. A Live account uses a trailing drawdown for the same amount. On the Trader Career Path the $200,000 Live step fixes the drawdown at $194,000.
Inactivity Restricted
On funded accounts only. Five consecutive trading days without a trade and the account is treated as inactive.
Account Limits Restricted
Up to five evaluations, three LiveSim accounts and one Live account at the same time.
LiveSim Withdrawal Limit Restricted
A LiveSim account only lets you withdraw so much before you are moved to a Live account: $5,000 in total on any Gauntlet Mini, and $1,750, $3,000 or $6,000 on the TCP 25, 50 and 100. It is a total across withdrawals, not a cap on a single one.
Penalties for Prohibited Conduct Prohibited
The rules below apply on the Gauntlet Mini and the Trader Career Path, on the evaluation and on LiveSim and Live accounts. They are there to stop gambling-style trading, rule evasion and fills you would never get in a real market. Breaking one can mean a warning, the day’s trading data being deleted, an account reset or the account being closed permanently.
Copy Trading Prohibited
Not allowed on any account.
EAs and Automated Trading Prohibited
Not allowed. Software, artificial intelligence or ultra-fast data entry that could manipulate the trading environment or give an unfair advantage is banned outright.
Platform Manipulation Prohibited
Strategies built to exploit or trigger platform errors, such as price display glitches or delayed price updates.
Disruptive Trading Prohibited
Spoofing and any other disruptive trading practice.
Unrealistic Contract Volume Prohibited
Trading an unrealistic number of contracts in a single day.
Collaborative Manipulation and Cross-Account Hedging Prohibited
Working with others to abuse the trading environment, including trading between connected accounts, running accounts across different people, or placing trades that hedge or pool risk between unrelated accounts.
Non-Market Trading Prohibited
Trading in a way that does not match how the real futures markets work, or that could cause financial or other harm to Earn2Trade.
Technical Exploitation Prohibited
Using tools or methods that hurt the site or take advantage of its technical flaws.
Bypassing Restrictions Prohibited
Getting around geographic or other technical restrictions, for example to trade from a restricted country.
Third-Party Trading Prohibited
Trading on someone else’s behalf, or sharing incentives with anyone through a business arrangement.
Restricted Countries
Earn2Trade pays through Riseworks among other methods, but its wallet isn’t on our payout tracker yet.
See All Live-Tracked Firms →80% on withdrawals above the threshold, 50% below • Paid every Wednesday • $100 net minimum • Riseworks, Deel, Bayzat or crypto
Weekly Schedule
Withdrawals are processed every Wednesday. Email your request to the firm by 2:00 PM CT on the Friday before.
No Consistency Rule Once Funded
The 30% rule only applies on the evaluation. LiveSim and Live accounts have no consistency requirement, no buffer and no minimum trading days before a withdrawal.
The Split Depends on the Withdrawal
The split is not based on how much profit you have made, it is based on the size of the single withdrawal. Request at least the threshold for your account and you keep 80%. Request less and you keep 50%. On a GM 50 with $2,000 in profit, waiting until you can take $2,250 is worth more than taking $2,000 now.
| Account | 50% Split | 80% Split | LiveSim Max Withdrawal |
|---|---|---|---|
| TCP 25 | Under $1,500 | $1,500+ | $1,750 |
| TCP 50 | Under $2,250 | $2,250+ | $3,000 |
| TCP 100 | Under $3,000 | $3,000+ | $6,000 |
| TCP 150 | Under $4,000 | $4,000+ | N/A |
| TCP 200 | Under $5,000 | $5,000+ | N/A |
| TCP 400 | Fixed 60/40 split | Fixed 60/40 split | N/A |
| GM 50 | Under $2,250 | $2,250+ | $5,000 |
| GM 100 | Under $3,000 | $3,000+ | $5,000 |
| GM 150 | Under $4,000 | $4,000+ | $5,000 |
| GM 200 | Under $5,000 | $5,000+ | $5,000 |
$100 Net Minimum
Each request has to leave you with at least $100 after fees. On a LiveSim account the first withdrawal also has to cover the $139 activation fee, so plan the first one accordingly.
LiveSim Withdrawal Limit
LiveSim is a stepping stone. Once your withdrawals add up to $5,000 on a Gauntlet Mini, or $1,750, $3,000 or $6,000 on the TCP 25, 50 and 100, you are moved to a Live account automatically.
Payout Methods and Fees
The method is not up to you. Earn2Trade onboards you to the provider of its choice, and some options are only available in certain regions.
| Method | Fee |
|---|---|
| Riseworks | $50 per withdrawal outside the US, 1.5% for US customers |
| Deel | $50 per withdrawal |
| Bayzat | $5 to $40 |
| Direct crypto | 0.735%, available in select cases only |
Riseworks Coverage
For regulatory reasons Rise does not support traders in some US territories (Iowa, Minnesota, South Carolina, Guam, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands) or in Haiti. Traders there are paid through another method.
Trader Career Path Upgrades
On the TCP, withdrawing the profit goal is also how you move up. After a full withdrawal on the $25,000 account you upgrade to $50,000 Live, then $100,000, then $200,000, where the drawdown is fixed at $194,000 and a custom offer follows. The 50K and 100K paths run up to $400,000, where the split becomes a fixed 60/40.
| TCP 25 Step | Profit Goal | Drawdown | Daily Loss | Max Contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 LiveSim or Live | $1,750 | $1,500 (EOD on LiveSim, trailing on Live) | $550 | 3 |
| $50,000 Live | $3,000 | $2,000 trailing | $1,100 | 6 |
| $100,000 Live | $6,000 | $3,500 trailing | $2,200 | 12 |
| $200,000 Live | $11,000 | Fixed at $194,000 | $4,400 | 16 |

Progression Ladder
Contracts Scale With Profit
The maximums above are the top of a ladder. You start lower and unlock more contracts as your profit grows, and it is up to you to stay inside the limit for your current profit in real time. Going over is a hard breach. Up to ten micros count as one standard contract.
| Account | Contracts by Profit Level |
|---|---|
| Gauntlet Mini 50K | $0 to $1,500: 2 • $1,501 to $2,000: 4 • $2,001+: 6 |

Earn2Trade Reviews & Ratings
Rated by our community & expert team
Earn2Trade has sold futures evaluations since September 2016, which makes it one of the longest-running firms in the market. It scores on Trustpilot across reviews. Two programs cover seven accounts from $25,000 to $200,000, with allocation up to $600,000 and a growth path to $400,000 on the Trader Career Path. With code GUIDE the monthly price starts at $60.00. Before you buy, understand the split: 80% on withdrawals above a set size for your account, 50% below it, paid once a week.
Summary
Earn2Trade is a US futures prop firm that has been running since September 2016. It sells the Gauntlet Mini from $50,000 to $200,000 and the Trader Career Path from $25,000 to $100,000, both as monthly evaluations. It scores on Trustpilot from reviews.
Both programs share one set of evaluation rules: an end-of-day drawdown, a daily loss limit on every size, a 30% consistency rule and a progression ladder that sets your contract limit by how much profit you have. There is no time limit, and the platform list runs to twenty-three across four data feeds.
After passing you pick LiveSim, which keeps the end-of-day drawdown and takes a $139 activation fee from your first withdrawal, or Live, which trades real capital on a trailing drawdown with monthly data fees and no activation fee. On the Trader Career Path, withdrawing the profit goal moves the account up a size, as far as $400,000.
Three things matter most day to day. Small withdrawals pay 50%, so it often makes sense to wait until you clear the threshold. Going over the progression ladder ends the account immediately. And every position has to be flat by 3:50 PM CT.
Deep Dive
More About Earn2Trade
Is Earn2Trade Legit?
Yes. Earn2Trade is a US futures prop firm that has operated since September 2016 under CEO Osvaldo Guimarães. Ten years is a long record in a market where many firms have opened and closed in the last few. It holds on Trustpilot from reviews.
The rules are published in detail, including the contract limit at each profit level, the withdrawal size that unlocks 80%, the hours when grain and livestock futures must be flat, and the penalties for prohibited conduct. Payouts are processed every Wednesday through Riseworks, Deel, Bayzat or crypto.
Two things are fair to criticise. The evaluations are monthly subscriptions, so a slow pass costs more than a one-time fee would. And the 80% split only applies above a threshold, so a trader who withdraws small amounts will often be paid 50%.
Earn2Trade vs Other Futures Prop Firms
Earn2Trade stands out for its ten-year record, its platform list and a funded account on the Trader Career Path that grows without buying a new one. It gives ground on the split structure and the weekly payout cycle.
Earn2Trade vs Bulenox: Both run on Rithmic, and both have end-of-day accounts with a $1,100, $2,200 and $3,300 daily loss limit at 50K, 100K and 150K. Bulenox pays 100% of the first $10,000 and then 90%, where Earn2Trade pays 80% above a threshold and 50% below it. Earn2Trade has the wider platform list and a much longer history.
Earn2Trade vs Take Profit Trader: Both start at 80%, but Take Profit Trader pays it on every withdrawal and lets you request payouts daily. Earn2Trade pays weekly and drops to 50% on smaller requests. Earn2Trade offers bigger accounts, with a $200,000 Gauntlet Mini and up to $400,000 on the Trader Career Path.
Earn2Trade vs Apex Trader Funding: Apex pays 100% with payouts every five days and lower entry prices. Earn2Trade has no time limit on the evaluation, a daily loss limit on every account, and a funded account that can grow on the Trader Career Path.
Earn2Trade vs TradeDay: Both pay 80% and both have been around for years. TradeDay has no daily loss limit and on-demand payouts on QuickPay. Earn2Trade adds a daily loss limit on every account but sells more sizes, including a $200,000 Gauntlet Mini.
Earn2Trade Discount Code and Prices
Code GUIDE takes 60% off every Earn2Trade account. The prices below are monthly, because both programs are subscriptions while you evaluate. A reset puts the account back to its starting balance without restarting the billing cycle.
| Account | List Price | With Code GUIDE | Reset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gauntlet Mini 50K | $170.00 / month | $68.00 / month | $100.00 |
| Gauntlet Mini 100K | $315.00 / month | $126.00 / month | $100.00 |
| Gauntlet Mini 150K | $375.00 / month | $150.00 / month | $130.00 |
| Gauntlet Mini 200K | $550.00 / month | $220.00 / month | $155.00 |
| Trader Career Path 25K | $150.00 / month | $60.00 / month | $100.00 |
| Trader Career Path 50K | $190.00 / month | $76.00 / month | $100.00 |
| Trader Career Path 100K | $350.00 / month | $140.00 / month | $100.00 |
Two costs come later. A LiveSim account takes a one-time $139 activation fee out of your first withdrawal. A Live account has no activation fee but pays market data, $140 per exchange a month on Rithmic or $156 on NinjaTrader.
Gauntlet Mini vs Trader Career Path
The two programs share the same evaluation rules: an end-of-day drawdown, a daily loss limit, a 30% consistency rule and a progression ladder. The difference is size, price and what happens once you are funded.
| Gauntlet Mini | Trader Career Path | |
|---|---|---|
| Sizes | $50,000 to $200,000 | $25,000 to $100,000 |
| Price with GUIDE | $68.00 to $220.00 / month | $60.00 to $140.00 / month |
| Profit goal | $3,000 to $11,000 | $1,750 to $6,000 |
| End-of-day drawdown | $2,000 to $6,000 | $1,500 to $3,500 |
| Daily loss limit | $1,100 to $4,400 | $550 to $2,200 |
| Max contracts | 6 to 16 | 3 to 12 |
| Consistency | 30% on the evaluation | 30% on the evaluation |
| Free reset on renewal | No | Yes |
| After funding | Same size, LiveSim or Live | Grows to $200,000 or $400,000 |
Pick the Gauntlet Mini if you want a large account from day one. The 200K needs $11,000 in profit against a $6,000 drawdown and allows up to 16 contracts. Pick the Trader Career Path if you would rather start small at $60.00 a month and let the account grow with every full withdrawal of the profit goal.
How to Pass the Earn2Trade Evaluation
Start with the consistency rule. No single day can make up 30% or more of your total profit, so on a Gauntlet Mini 50K with a $3,000 goal, no day can count for $900 or more of the final total. Spreading the target over at least four profitable days is the simplest way to stay clear of it.
Next, size by the ladder rather than by the maximum. A 50K account starts at 2 contracts and only reaches 6 once you are more than $2,000 in profit. Ten micros count as one contract, and trading above your current level ends the evaluation immediately.
Then respect the clock. Everything must be flat by 3:50 PM CT, livestock by 1:05 PM and grains by 1:20 PM. The daily loss limit applies every day, on every account size.
Getting Paid at Earn2Trade
Payouts are processed every Wednesday. Email your request by 2:00 PM CT on the Friday before, and make sure it leaves at least $100 net after fees. On a LiveSim account, the first request also has to cover the $139 activation fee.
The size of the request sets the split. On a GM 50, a $2,250 withdrawal is paid at 80% and a $2,000 withdrawal at 50%, so waiting until you clear the threshold can be worth more than withdrawing early. On the Trader Career Path, the firm’s own example for the 25K is $1,400 paid on a full $1,750 withdrawal, against $875 if you take out less than $1,500.
Money goes out through Riseworks, Deel, Bayzat or direct crypto, at the firm’s choice. Rise costs $50 per withdrawal outside the US and 1.5% inside it, Deel $50, Bayzat $5 to $40 and crypto 0.735%.

What is the Earn2Trade Gauntlet Mini?
A single-phase evaluation in four sizes. The profit goal is $3,000 on the 50K, $6,000 on the 100K, $9,000 on the 150K and $11,000 on the 200K. The end-of-day drawdown is $2,000, $3,500, $4,500 and $6,000, and the daily loss limit $1,100, $2,200, $3,300 and $4,400. A 30% consistency rule applies.

The 25K path goes $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 and $200,000, then a custom offer. The 50K path goes $50,000, $100,000, $200,000 and $400,000, and the 100K path $100,000, $150,000, $200,000 and $400,000.
Should I choose the Gauntlet Mini or the Trader Career Path?
The Gauntlet Mini suits traders who want a bigger account straight away, up to $200,000. The Trader Career Path is cheaper to start, from $60.00 a month, and suits traders who want the account to grow as they withdraw. The evaluation rules are the same on both.
How long is the Gauntlet Mini?
There is no time limit. You can take as long as you need to reach the profit goal while your subscription is active, and there is no minimum number of trading days.
How long is the Trader Career Path?
There is no fixed end date. The evaluation continues until you reach the targets or cancel the subscription.
How fast can you pass an Earn2Trade evaluation?
In four trading days. There is no minimum, but the 30% consistency rule means no single day can make up 30% or more of your total profit.
What happens after you pass Earn2Trade?
You receive a certificate and choose a LiveSim or a Live funded account with the same capital. Both trade on real market data and pay up to 80% of profits.
What is the difference between LiveSim and Live at Earn2Trade?
LiveSim trades simulated capital on real-time data, keeps the end-of-day drawdown, allows up to three accounts and charges a $139 activation fee from the first withdrawal. Live trades real capital on a trailing drawdown, allows one account, has no activation fee and charges monthly market data fees.
How much can you withdraw from an Earn2Trade LiveSim account?
$5,000 in total on any Gauntlet Mini, and $1,750, $3,000 or $6,000 on the TCP 25, 50 and 100. Once you reach it you are moved to a Live account. The limit is a running total, not a cap on one withdrawal.
What is the Earn2Trade activation fee?
$139, charged once on LiveSim accounts only. It is deducted from your first successful withdrawal rather than paid up front, and covers account provisioning, platform access and setup. Live accounts have no activation fee.
What are the market data fees on an Earn2Trade Live account?
$140 per exchange a month on Rithmic, or $156 on NinjaTrader. Live accounts pay these instead of an activation fee.
What is the Earn2Trade profit split?
80% on a withdrawal at or above the threshold for your account and 50% below it. The thresholds are $1,500 on the TCP 25, $2,250 on the TCP 50 and GM 50, $3,000 on the TCP 100 and GM 100, $4,000 on the GM 150 and $5,000 on the GM 200. The split is based on the single withdrawal, not on total profit.
How do Earn2Trade payouts work?
Withdrawals are processed weekly on Wednesdays. Requests must be emailed by 2:00 PM CT on the Friday before. The minimum is $100 net, after fees and, on a LiveSim account, after the $139 activation fee.
What payout methods does Earn2Trade offer?
Riseworks, Deel, Bayzat and direct crypto. Rise charges $50 per withdrawal outside the US and 1.5% for US customers, Deel $50, Bayzat $5 to $40 and direct crypto 0.735%. Earn2Trade chooses which provider onboards you, and direct crypto is only available in select cases.
Where is Riseworks not available for Earn2Trade payouts?
Rise does not support traders in Iowa, Minnesota, South Carolina, Guam, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands or Haiti. Traders there are paid through another method.
Does Earn2Trade have a consistency rule?
On the evaluation only. No single trading day can account for 30% or more of your total profit. Funded LiveSim and Live accounts have no consistency rule.
How many trading days do you need at Earn2Trade?
There is no minimum. In practice the 30% consistency rule means at least four profitable days to pass. Funded accounts have no minimum trading days either.
Does Earn2Trade have a daily loss limit?
Yes, on every account at every stage: $550 on the 25K, $1,100 on the 50K, $2,200 on the 100K, $3,300 on the 150K and $4,400 on the 200K.
How does the Earn2Trade drawdown work?
The evaluation and LiveSim accounts use an end-of-day drawdown, which only moves on your closing balance. Live accounts use a trailing drawdown. On the Trader Career Path, the $200,000 Live account has its drawdown fixed at $194,000.
What is the Earn2Trade progression ladder?
A contract limit that rises with your profit, which you manage yourself in real time. On a 50K it is 2 contracts up to $1,500 profit, 4 from $1,501 to $2,000, and 6 above $2,000. Going over the limit is a hard breach that ends the account.
How many contracts can you trade at Earn2Trade?
The ladder tops out at 3 on the TCP 25, 6 on a 50K, 12 on a 100K, 15 on the GM 150 and 16 on the GM 200. Up to ten micros (MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MGC, MCL, M6B, M6E, MHG) count as one standard contract.
Can you reset an Earn2Trade evaluation?
Yes, at any time during the evaluation. A reset returns the account to its starting balance but does not restart the billing period. Current prices are $100.00 on the GM 50, GM 100 and every TCP size, $130.00 on the GM 150 and $155.00 on the GM 200. Funded accounts cannot be reset.
Does Earn2Trade give free resets?
On the Trader Career Path, yes. Every subscription renewal adds one free reset, and unused resets stack while the subscription is active. They are lost if you cancel or pass, and a renewal does not reset a failed evaluation on its own.
Can you trade the news at Earn2Trade?
Yes. News trading is allowed on the evaluation and on funded LiveSim and Live accounts.
Is scalping allowed at Earn2Trade?
Yes. Scalping is allowed. What is banned is software, AI or ultra-fast data entry that could manipulate the trading environment.
Is martingale allowed at Earn2Trade?
Yes, martingale is allowed. You still have to stay inside the progression ladder, the daily loss limit and the drawdown.

No. Placing trades that hedge or pool risk between accounts is prohibited, as is trading between connected accounts or across accounts held by different people.
Is copy trading allowed at Earn2Trade?
No. Copy trading is not allowed on any account.
Can you use EAs or bots at Earn2Trade?
No. EAs are not allowed, and software, artificial intelligence or ultra-fast data entry that could manipulate the trading environment is prohibited.
Is a stop loss required at Earn2Trade?
No. Earn2Trade does not require a stop loss on every trade.
What are the Earn2Trade trading hours?
On the evaluation, all positions and working orders must be closed from 3:50 PM to 5:00 PM CT. Livestock (GF, HE, LE) must be flat from 1:05 PM. Grains and oilseeds (XC, XK, ZC, ZL, ZM, ZS, ZW) must be flat from 7:45 to 8:30 AM CT and from 1:20 PM. Holiday closures apply.
Can you hold trades overnight or over the weekend at Earn2Trade?
No. Everything has to be flat by 3:50 PM CT each day, so nothing is held overnight or over the weekend.
