What it covers

Earn2Trade's 10-year anniversary: BOTH50 takes 50% off any Trader Career Path or Gauntlet Mini subscription for its first 90 days, with half-price resets over the same period; standard prices apply after that, and it cannot be combined. A separate one-time anniversary bundle (3 × TCP25 plus 3 resets for $165, i.e. $27.50 per attempt) runs only to 10 October.

The firm's own public code. Anyone can use it and XSR earns nothing from it.

What Earn2Trade is, and who it suits

What the firm is, who it suits, and what you will trade it on.

XSR summary

Earn2Trade, founded in 2016 and registered in Wyoming, sells futures evaluations by monthly subscription and passes successful traders to partner prop firms (such as Helios Trading Partners and Appius Trading) for funding. The Trader Career Path starts at $25K and grows a funded account step by step to as much as $400,000; The Gauntlet Mini is a fixed-size evaluation up to $200K. Both need a 30% consistency rate, a hard daily loss limit and a contract ladder that fails you the moment you oversize. The main catch is the payout: withdrawals below a size threshold are split 50/50, and a $139 activation fee comes out of the first one.

The details

Data feed / broker: Rithmic · Tradovate (NinjaTrader) · BlackArrow
Assets: IndicesEnergyMetalsFXRatesAgriculture
Instruments: All futures on CME Group's four exchanges (CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX), micros included: equity indices, energy, metals, currency futures, Treasuries and grains. Bitcoin and Ether futures are banned, and there is no spot forex, stocks, options or crypto.
Leverage and limits: Size is governed by a progression ladder that sets your maximum contracts from your balance and profit in real time. At the top step: TCP25 3, TCP50 and GM50 6, TCP100 and GM100 12, GM150 15, GM200 16. Ten micros (MES, MNQ, MYM, M2K, MGC, MCL, M6B, M6E, MHG) count as one. Going over is an instant fail.
Commissions: Evaluations already use the partner firms' live commission schedule: $0.82–$1.08 per side per micro contract, more on minis. Non-professional data is included in the evaluation fee; Market Depth costs extra. Once funded: LiveSim takes a one-time $139 activation fee from the first withdrawal; Live accounts pay $140 (Rithmic) or $156 (NinjaTrader) per exchange per month for data, plus FCM, NFA and exchange fees.
Max allocation: $400KA TCP50 or TCP100 account can grow to $400,000 through the growth plan (TCP25 tops out at $200,000; the Gauntlet Mini stays at its starting size). You may hold 3 funded accounts at once, only 1 of them Live.

Earn2Trade challenges and prices

Pick a program and a size. Every number is the firm's list price and rule before any code.

Earn2Trade's main evaluation: a monthly subscription with one phase and a growth plan after funding — withdraw the profit goal at each step to move up, to $200K from the TCP25 or $400K from the TCP50/TCP100. Every monthly rebill includes one free reset. Rebills every month until you pass or cancel.

Once you are funded

A partner firm gives you a LiveSim® (simulated, end-of-day drawdown) or Live account (real money, intraday trailing drawdown), with no subscription after that. Daily loss and the ladder still apply; there is no consistency rule or minimum days. LiveSim takes a $139 activation fee from the first withdrawal; Live accounts pay monthly data fees. Later growth steps are Live accounts, and the $200K/$400K steps use a fixed drawdown.

Earn2Trade rules, in plain words

Most dangerous first. Each one says what the rule is, how it is measured, and what it looks like on a real account.

5 Strict3 Watch out1 Good to know

Progression ladder: oversize and you fail
Strict
The total contracts you may hold across all positions depend on your balance and profit in real time, starting low and rising as you make money. Exceed the limit for a moment and the attempt fails outright, without warning. Ten micros count as one mini. Funded accounts follow it too. Top-step limits: TCP 3 / 6 / 12, Gauntlet Mini 6 / 12 / 15 / 16.
Example
TCP50 tops out at 6 contracts. Holding 4 ES plus 25 MES counts as 6.5, over the limit even at the top step, so the attempt ends on the spot.
Daily loss limit (hard fail)
Strict
Daily P&L runs from 5 p.m. to 5 p.m. Chicago time and includes closed trades, open trades and commissions, measured from the day's starting balance. If P&L ever touches the limit, even on an open position that later recovers, the attempt fails and needs a reset. Funded accounts have the same limit.
Example
TCP25 has a $550 daily loss. Starting the day at $25,800, a trade that is up $500 and closes at −$100 is fine; if open P&L ever touches −$550 (equity $25,250), the attempt ends.
End-of-day drawdown
Strict
Your minimum balance is your highest closing balance minus the drawdown amount, updated after each close, and it stops rising at the starting balance. Equity touching it intraday, open trades included, fails the account. Evaluations and LiveSim work this way; Live accounts trail intraday, and the TCP $200K and $400K steps use a fixed floor ($194,000 / $388,000).
Example
TCP100's minimum starts at $96,500. Close day one at $102,000 and it becomes $98,500; a $101,000 close leaves it there; a $103,000 close lifts it to $99,500; from a $103,500 close it locks at $100,000.
30% consistency rule
Watch out
During the evaluation no single day may make up 30% or more of total P&L, whether the account is above or below its starting balance. Going over does not fail you; you just keep trading until the share drops. Funded accounts have no consistency rule.
Example
TCP50's target is $3,000. Make $1,200 in one day — 40% of the target — and total profit must exceed $4,000 ($1,200 ÷ 0.30) before you pass.
Flat before the close, no overnight
Watch out
Evaluations and funded accounts must close every position and working order by 3:50 p.m. Chicago time, and may trade again from 5 p.m.; no overnight or weekend holding. Feeder cattle, lean hogs and live cattle close by 1:05 p.m.; grains also have a 7:45–8:30 a.m. gap. Trading through news is allowed.
Example
3:50 p.m. in Chicago is 4:50 a.m. in Hong Kong and Taipei (5:50 a.m. once US clocks change in November). An NQ position opened in the Asian session must be closed before then.
The split depends on withdrawal size
Watch out
The split is set by each withdrawal's size, not accumulated profit: 50% below the threshold, 80% at or above it. The first LiveSim withdrawal also loses the $139 activation fee, and every withdrawal pays the method's fee (Rise charges non-US traders $50). Small, frequent withdrawals cost the most.
Example
Funded from a TCP50: withdraw $2,000 and you receive $1,000 (50%); wait until you can withdraw $2,250 and you receive $1,800 (80%), less the $139 activation fee and a $50 Rise fee the first time.
No trade copiers, no hedging across accounts
Strict
Trade copiers are banned on evaluations and funded accounts, including between your own accounts. Passing with one can cost you the funded account or the withdrawal, with no refund. Hedging between funded accounts gets them terminated. You may run 5 evaluations and 3 funded accounts at once.
Rebilling and resets
Good to know
Subscriptions rebill every 30 days until you pass or cancel, with no refunds. A rebill does not reset a failed account; you press reset yourself. TCP rebills include one free reset (they stack, and are lost on cancelling). Paid resets: TCP100 and GM100 $100, GM150 $130, GM200 $155; 25K/50K prices move with promotions. Cancelling loses the evaluation account.
Example
TCP25 at $150 a month: fail in week two and either pay for a reset now ($100 at present, $50 under BOTH50) or wait for the rebill and use the free reset.
Prohibited conduct
Strict
Prohibited: exploiting platform price errors or delays, disruptive orders such as spoofing, an unrealistic number of contracts in a day, coordinated hedging across people or accounts, software or AI that enters orders at unfair speed, bypassing geographic restrictions, and trading for others. Bitcoin and Ether futures are banned. Penalties range from a warning to deleting the day's trades, a reset or permanent closure.

Trading styles

News trading
Allowed
No news restrictions on evaluations or funded accounts.
EAs / bots
With conditions
Automation is not banned outright, but software, AI or ultra-fast order entry that manipulates the simulation or gains an unfair edge is prohibited.
Copy trading
Not allowed
Trade copiers are banned on every program, even between your own accounts.
Hedging
Not allowed
Hedging between funded accounts, or with others, gets accounts terminated.
Holding overnight
Not allowed
Flat by 3:50 p.m. Chicago time every day.
Holding over the weekend
Not allowed
Scalping
Allowed
No minimum holding time, but an unrealistic number of contracts in a day counts as prohibited conduct.

Earn2Trade payouts: when, how much and how

When you can withdraw, how much, and how the money reaches you.

01 · First payout
No minimum trading days once funded: you can request after a single day, provided the amount covers the $100 minimum, the $139 activation fee (LiveSim) and the method's fee.
02 · After that
Weekly. Email the partner firm by 2 p.m. Chicago time on Friday and the request is paid in the following Wednesday's batch.
03 · Profit split
By each withdrawal's size: 50% below the threshold, 80% at or above (TCP25 $1,500; TCP50 and GM50 $2,250; TCP100 and GM100 $3,000; 150K $4,000; 200K $5,000). The TCP $400K account is a fixed 60/40.

Minimum: $100 net.
Caps: LiveSim withdrawals are capped at $1,750 (TCP25), $3,000 (TCP50), $6,000 (TCP100) and $5,000 on every Gauntlet Mini size. No cap is published for Live accounts.
Payout methods: Rise
Deel
Bayzat
Crypto (select cases)
Before you can request: A W-8BEN with your local tax ID and identity verification before funding; the account must be in your legal name.
Request by email before 2 p.m. Chicago time on Friday.
The first LiveSim withdrawal must cover the $100 minimum, the $139 activation fee and the method's fee.
Daily loss, drawdown and ladder intact; funded accounts have no consistency or buffer requirement.
The partner firm assigns the payout method; it is not your choice, and direct crypto is only for select cases.

From Hong Kong or Taiwan

Neither Hong Kong nor Taiwan is on Earn2Trade's sanctions list. Expect Rise at $50 per withdrawal for non-US traders, unless the partner firm assigns Deel ($50) or another rail; direct crypto is only for select cases. The W-8BEN needs your local tax ID. With 50% below the threshold and $50 per withdrawal, it pays to withdraw above the threshold in one go.

Can Hong Kong and Taiwan traders use Earn2Trade?

Read from the firm's own list. A firm that bans Hong Kong or Taiwan is not listed on XSR at all.

Hong Kong

Not restricted

Taiwan

Not restricted

Earn2Trade's list names citizens who cannot be funded, so nationality counts as well as residence; purchases or resets from these countries are not refunded, and misstating your country gets you banned. Rise separately does not pay out to Haiti or some US states.
