ACCOUNT TYPES

Earn2Trade offers 5 different account types ranging from $25k to $150k account size with the Gauntlet Mini and one $25k account type with the Gauntlet.

QUALIFICATION PROCESS

Earn2Trade offers two different ways to qualify for a funded account – the Gauntlet Mini and the Gauntlet.

Gauntlet Mini

The Gauntlet Mini includes a beginner crash course and requires a minimum of 15 trading days in the qualification process. They may be consecutive or non-consecutive, but it must be 15 active trading days in total. The maximum position size, profit target and daily loss limit respectively trailing drawdown depends on the chosen account. In that regard, a trader may hit the daily loss limit but keeps the account as long as it does not hit the maximum trailing drawdown which is calculated per end of the day basis (EOD).

Moreover, Earn2Trade has a consistency rule in place that states over the course of the examination no single trading day can account for 30% or more of the total PnL. Therewith, traders who have generated a total profit of $7,000 on the $100,000 Gauntlet Mini evaluation with a single trading day accounting for $4,000 for example, are not finished yet since those $4,000 profits exceed the allowed total of 30% the total PnL of a single day.

Also, the Gauntlet Mini follows a regression ladder meaning traders must self-regulate and limit the number of contracts that they are allowed to open. If a trader places more lots than the account allows, he / she fails the qualification automatically. Further, Earn2Trade does not allow holding positions over night and traders must close their trades by the end of the trading day.

All Gauntlet Mini account types are eligible for a reset should a trader fail the evaluation.

Gauntlet

The Gauntlet requires to manage a $25k virtual account over a 60 calendar days period whereof a minimum of 30 calendar days and once per week must be traded. Also, the trader is expected to submit a trading plan in his dashboard. During the period a maximum drawdown of 10% is allowed which is calculated per end of the day basis (EOD) and a profit target of 10% is aimed at the end of the Gauntlet. Traders are allowed trading during news and holding a position of max. 1 lot over night. The Gauntlet comes at a $429 one-time fee which can also be reset for $229 should a trader fail to meet the requirements. The initial fees for the Gauntlet will be refunded once passed successfully.

With both qualification schemes, the Gauntlet mini and the Gauntlet, Earn2Trade allows trading products from all major exchanges CME, NYMEX, COMEX and CBOT.
