Earn2Trade Review

Earn2Trade predates the 2020s prop-firm boom and positions itself as part evaluation, part education. This Earn2Trade review approaches it from the angle of fine print, because the firm’s headline numbers look standard while two less-obvious rules, the withdrawal-based split and the live drawdown switch, shape real outcomes.

Background

Earn2Trade has been operating since the mid-2010s; reviewers give founding dates of 2016 or 2017. Osvaldo Guimarães is named as chief executive, and a registered office is listed in Sheridan, Wyoming, though some profiles place the firm in the United Arab Emirates. Like its peers, it is an unregulated evaluation business whose funded stage, LiveSim, is simulated before any move to a live account.

Two Routes to Funding

Gauntlet Mini

A single-phase test in four sizes. Targets are $3,000, $6,000, $9,000 and $11,000 for $50,000 to $200,000 accounts, with daily loss limits of $1,100 to $4,400 and end-of-day drawdowns of $2,000, $3,500, $4,500 and $6,000. Contract limits run from 6 to 16.

Trader Career Path

A ladder starting at $25,000, $50,000 or $100,000, with targets of $1,750, $3,000 and $6,000 and drawdowns of $1,500, $2,000 and $3,500. Hitting targets and withdrawing moves you up, to $200,000 from the smallest start or $400,000 from the larger ones. Subscribers get one free reset after each monthly rebill.

Both use a 30% consistency rule in evaluation: your best day must be under 30% of total profit, so at least four profitable days are needed in practice. In 2026 the fixed ten-day minimum was removed, a meaningful improvement for faster traders.

What You Pay

Evaluations are monthly subscriptions. List prices reported in late 2026 range from about $120 a month for TCP25 to $440 for a $200,000 Gauntlet Mini, with discounts of 40% to 60% widely advertised; one review notes US traders can start from $69 while non-US pricing is higher. Sources disagree on whether a $139 activation fee still applies, and live accounts carry exchange data fees, so check checkout and the help center before committing.

The Split Depends on Withdrawal Size

Here is the first catch. Earn2Trade advertises 80%, but the split is set per withdrawal, not per account. Requests at or above a threshold, from $1,500 on TCP25 to $5,000 on the largest accounts, pay 80%; smaller requests pay 50%. The top TCP400 rung uses a fixed 60/40. Frequent small withdrawals therefore cost noticeably more. Payouts are processed weekly on Wednesdays for requests made by 2 p.m. Central Time the previous Friday, with a $100 net minimum.

The Live Drawdown Switch

The second catch: evaluation and LiveSim use end-of-day drawdown, but live accounts trail on intraday open equity. A trader comfortable with end-of-day calculations can be surprised when an intraday peak becomes the new high-water mark. Reviewers note this change is not always clearly communicated.

Platforms and Rules

Supported software includes NinjaTrader, which is free during evaluation and LiveSim, along with Tradovate, TradingView, Rithmic and Finamark. Markets cover CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX futures, including micros. News trading is allowed, but trade copiers across accounts are forbidden and can cost refunds.

Reputation and Verdict

Trustpilot scores between 4.5 and 4.7 from roughly 5,000 reviews are among the stronger in futures, and we found no widely reported payout scandal. Complaints tend to centre on technical issues and rule enforcement. Earn2Trade suits methodical traders who will withdraw in larger chunks and want a clear scaling ladder. Those planning frequent small payouts should do the maths on the 50% tier first: on a $50,000 account, a $2,000 request returns $1,000, while waiting until $2,250 lifts your share to $1,800.

Futures contracts are leveraged instruments, and a subscription can run for months without a pass.
