Profit target

50K: USD 3,000 · 100K: USD 6,000 · 150K: USD 9,000 · 200K: USD 11,000

50K in the page's server HTML; 100K, 150K and 200K from the same page's size selector (contract limits confirmed in the help centre).

from start-of-day balance

Reset: 17:00 America/Chicago

a breach ends the account

Daily PnL from 17:00 to 17:00 CT including open positions and commissions, measured against the balance at the start of the day. If the PnL hits the limit (even without closing the position) the evaluation fails; continuing requires a reset.

Maximum loss

50K: USD 2,000 · 100K: USD 3,500 · 150K: USD 4,500 · 200K: USD 6,000 · trailing (end of day)

The floor follows the highest end-of-day balance up and never drops.

Stops: The minimum balance sits the drawdown amount below the highest end-of-day balance: it is adjusted only after the close, rises with each new end-of-day high, never falls and stops at the starting balance. Open losses count intraday: if an open position takes the account below the minimum balance, the evaluation fails.

50K in the page's server HTML; 100K, 150K and 200K from the same page's size selector (contract limits confirmed in the help centre).

Minimum trading days

none

No minimum number of trading days; because of the 30% consistency rule the firm says at least four profitable days are needed.

help.earn2trade.com
Time limit

unlimited

No time limit as long as the monthly subscription is active.

earn2trade.com
Consistency rule

≤ 30 % · best day ÷ total profit

keep trading until met

No single trading day may account for 30% or more of the evaluation's total PnL. Not a failure: keep trading until the best day is below 30%; required total profit = best day ÷ 0.3. Firm's example: target USD 3,000, best day USD 1,200 → USD 4,000 total profit needed. Daily PnL counts whether the balance is above or below the starting balance. Does not apply on LiveSim and Live accounts.

The rule requires less than 30% ("30% or more" is too much). Per the firm this means at least four profitable trading days.

Simulated account with profit shareSIM

"Funded" means here what the firm itself states below.

Account type

Simulated, possibly live later

The evaluation runs on a virtual account. After passing, a partner prop firm issues either a LiveSim® account (simulated with live data, payouts in real money) or a Live account with real capital at a futures broker; depending on performance the prop firm may issue a Live account instead of LiveSim. After the LiveSim maximum withdrawal the trader is moved to a Live account automatically. Per the firm, in 2025 94.77% of those who passed traded a LiveSim and 5.23% a Live account.

Maximum loss

50K: USD 2,000 · 100K: USD 3,500 · 150K: USD 4,500 · 200K: USD 6,000 · trailing (end of day)

The floor follows the highest end-of-day balance up and never drops.

Stops: LiveSim®: end-of-day drawdown as in the evaluation, up to the starting balance. Live account: trailing drawdown that rises dollar for dollar intraday with open and closed profit, up to the starting balance.

Type for the LiveSim account. Choosing a Live account directly means an intraday trailing drawdown of the same amount. The Gauntlet Mini 200K account has no fixed drawdown.

Trading days per payout

5 days

Profitable day with at least USD 150 (50K) / 200 (100K) / 250 (150K) / 350 (200K) daily profit; counts even below the starting balance. Days need not be consecutive and count towards one withdrawal only.

help.earn2trade.com
Profit split

50 %, up to 80 %

Depends on the size of each single withdrawal, not on accumulated profit: below USD 2,250 (50K) / 3,000 (100K) / 4,000 (150K) / 5,000 (200K) 50%, from that amount 80%.
