## Overview

Earn2Trade has been running futures evaluations since 2016. You pay a monthly subscription, pass a single-phase test on CME, CBOT, COMEX or NYMEX products, then choose a LiveSim or Live funded account. It suits day traders who want a long runway, since the Trader Career Path keeps growing your account as you hit targets.

### How the evaluation works

- **Trader Career Path (25K, 50K, 100K):** a 7% target on 25K and 6% on the others, with an end-of-day trailing drawdown of 6%, 4% or 3.5% and a daily loss limit of 2.2%. Once funded, each target you hit and withdraw moves you up a size, toward $400K.
- **Gauntlet Mini (50K to 200K):** the faster single step to a funded account, with a 5.5% to 6% target, an end-of-day drawdown of 3% to 4% and the same 2.2% daily limit.

Both programs follow a contract ladder that grows with your profit, and no single day can make up 30% or more of your total. There's no time limit, and a TCP renewal includes a free reset.

### Rules worth knowing

- Everything must be flat by 3:50pm CT, so no overnight or weekend holds.
- News trading is allowed in both evaluations and funded accounts.
- Trade copiers are banned on every program, before and after funding.
- Hedging across accounts or with other traders counts as prohibited conduct.

### Getting paid

The split depends on each withdrawal's size: 80% once a withdrawal clears a threshold ($1,500 on TCP25, up to $5,000 on the 200K), and 50% below it. There's no consistency rule or buffer once funded, and the minimum withdrawal is $100. Payouts run every Wednesday through Rise, Deel or, in some cases, crypto. A $139 LiveSim activation fee comes out of your first withdrawal.

- Prop Firm Match: 4.4 / 5 from 32 reviews (https://propfirmmatch.com/futures/prop-firms/earn2trade/reviews)

Earn2Trade is one of the longest-running futures prop firms, and its reviews reflect that: 4.6 on Trustpilot from about 5,000 reviews and 4.4 on Prop Firm Match from 32 verified traders. Most reviewers describe a steady, well-run firm with helpful support. The low reviews are mostly about strict rules, especially contract limits and scaling rules that end an account over a single mistake.

### What traders like

- **Support.** Many Trustpilot and Prop Firm Match reviewers say support answers quickly and fixes platform problems, often naming the agent who helped.
- **Clear rules and a clean dashboard.** Reviewers often say the rules are easy to follow and the dashboard shows where they stand.
- **A long record of paying.** Long-time traders say they have been paid several times, and Reddit threads include traders showing payouts from the funding partner after passing.
- **Education and a scaling path.** Some like the Trader Career Path and the learning material, saying it pushes them toward steady trading.

### Common complaints

- **Strict contract and scaling limits.** Several recent Trustpilot reviewers say an account was ended over one order that went past the contract limit, or over a scaling rule they missed, and find this harsher than at Topstep or Apex.
- **Account terminations.** Some review sites report complaints that accounts were closed without a clear reason.
- **Rule changes.** A few reviewers say a rule change broke their account before they noticed it.
- **Price.** Some Prop Firm Match reviewers say the firm costs more than competitors and expect stricter professionalism in return.

### Recently

- **July 2026:** Earn2Trade dropped its minimum trading days rule and moved to a profit split that pays 50/50 below a payout threshold and 80/20 above it.
- **July to October 2026:** review sites' Trustpilot snapshots moved from 4.7 in early summer to 4.6 by September and October. The last few weeks of reviews include complaints about contract limit breaches.
