Traders will have live commissions assigned to their evaluation accounts—whether it's the Trader Career Path® or the Gauntlet Mini™—as part of the account setup procedure.

After purchasing an evaluation, traders will go through a brief setup process where they select the exchanges they plan to trade. Once that’s completed, the live commission schedule is automatically applied to their accounts—no further action is required.

These live commissions mirror the commissions schedule offered by our proprietary trading partners, reflecting actual market conditions and execution costs.

The cost associated with this live commission schedule varies by asset. For example, micro contracts range from $0.82 to $1.08 per contract per side.

Some trading platforms may not display or calculate commissions by default. Be sure to check your platform settings and make sure you understand the live commission structure before placing trades.

To view the commission costs for specific assets, refer to the chart below showing rates for commonly traded instruments.

For additional information or questions, feel free to contact our support team.

Disclaimer: live commission costs are liable to change at any time without advance warning.

Micro assets in general cost between $0.82 to $1.08 per side.

You will have the live commission schedule assigned to your evaluation account both in the evaluation and in the funded stage.

Depending on what platform you use, the fee structure might be different, but generally, the fee structure for live and LiveSim® accounts is the following.

Firm Rules General Overview

Earn2Trade’s Trader Career Path and Gauntlet Mini evaluations require traders to follow the firm’s core risk and trading rules in order to receive a funded account offer. Any rule violation during the evaluation stage may result in the evaluation failing and requiring a reset before the trader can continue. Both programs require traders to reach the applicable profit target, avoid breaching the Daily Loss Limit, stay above the minimum account balance required by the drawdown rule, follow the maximum position size limits under the progression ladder, trade only during approved market hours, and maintain the 30% consistency rule.

Earn2Trade’s current evaluation rules no longer use a separate 10-trading-day minimum waiting period. However, because the 30% consistency rule applies during the evaluation stage, traders effectively need at least four profitable trading days to complete an evaluation. No single trading day can account for 30% or more of the trader’s total evaluation P&L, so a trader cannot pass the evaluation with only one, two, or three large winning days.

The progression ladder controls the maximum number of contracts a trader may have open across all positions. Traders are responsible for self-regulating their position size based on their current real-time account balance and profit level. Exceeding the allowed contract limit is treated as a hard fail rule. Micro contracts count toward the position limit at a 10-to-1 ratio, meaning up to ten eligible micro contracts count as one standard contract.

Earn2Trade evaluations use End-of-Day Drawdown. This drawdown is updated after the end of each trading day based on the account’s end-of-day balance, and it trails upward with positive account performance until it reaches the account’s starting balance. However, traders can still fail an evaluation or funded account if their open equity falls below the minimum account balance in real time. In other words, even though the EOD drawdown threshold updates after market close, open/unrealized losses can still cause a rule breach during the trading day.

Trading is only allowed during approved times. Traders may begin trading when the exchange opens for the applicable asset, generally around 5:00 PM CT, although this can vary by product or holiday schedule. All positions and working orders must be closed by 3:50 PM CT until 5:00 PM CT, and some products have additional required closure windows. Overnight positions are not allowed. Earn2Trade allows trading during news events.

Trade copiers are prohibited on both evaluation and funded accounts. Traders are not permitted to use trade copiers to pass multiple accounts, and doing so may result in denied accounts, denied withdrawals, account closure, and no refund. Hedging between funded accounts is also strictly prohibited.

Traders may have up to five evaluation accounts active at the same time. Funded traders may have up to three funded accounts active concurrently, with a maximum of three LiveSim accounts or two LiveSim accounts and one Live account. Funded LiveSim and Live accounts still require traders to follow drawdown, Daily Loss Limit, progression ladder, trading-hours, prohibited-asset, account-limit, and trade-copier rules. However, funded accounts do not have a minimum trading-day requirement for withdrawals, do not have a consistency requirement, and do not require a buffer beyond the minimum withdrawal requirement and any applicable first-withdrawal activation-fee deduction.

Earn2Trade applies a Daily Loss Limit to evaluation accounts and funded LiveSim/Live accounts. The Daily Loss Limit is based on the trader’s daily Profit & Loss, including open/unrealized P&L, closed trades, and commissions. It is calculated from 5:00 PM CT to 5:00 PM CT, and the daily P&L resets at the beginning of each trading day based on the account balance at the start of that trading day.

The Daily Loss Limit is treated as a hard breach rule. If a trader reaches or dips below the Daily Loss Limit, the account fails and is suspended from further trading. Funded LiveSim and Live accounts are also subject to a Daily Loss Limit that must not be breached. Traders should closely monitor the P&L to track how close they are to their Daily Loss Limit. The specific Daily Loss Limit amount depends on the selected account type and size.

For example, if a trader starts the trading day with a $25,000 account balance and has a $550 Daily Loss Limit, the account cannot reach or fall below -$550 in daily P&L. This applies even if the loss is only unrealized on an open position. If the trader has an open trade showing +$500 but the trade reverses and is closed at -$100, the account would not breach the Daily Loss Limit because the daily P&L is only -$100. However, if the trader’s daily P&L ever reaches or falls below -$550, whether from open or closed trades, the Daily Loss Limit is breached.

Earn2Trade’s Maintain Consistency rule applies to the evaluation stage for both Trader Career Path and Gauntlet Mini accounts. It does not apply to funded LiveSim or Live accounts. Under the Maintain Consistency rule, no single trading day can account for 30% or more of the trader’s total evaluation P&L. If a trader earns more than 30% of the profit target in one day, this does not automatically fail the evaluation. Instead, the trader must continue trading until that largest winning day represents less than 30% of the total evaluation profit.

For example, if the evaluation profit target is $3,000, then 30% of that target is $900. If the trader earns $1,200 in one trading day, that day would represent 40% of a $3,000 total profit. To bring that day back within the 30% consistency limit, the trader would need total profits above $4,000, because $1,200 divided by 0.30 equals $4,000. Daily P&L is included in the consistency calculation regardless of whether the account balance is above or below the starting account balance.

Earn2Trade’s current evaluation setup requires at least 4 trading days to complete the evaluation stage. This aligns with the 30% consistency rule, since a trader needs at least four profitable trading days for no single day to account for 30% or more of total evaluation P&L. Because the 4 required evaluation trading days are already needed to satisfy the consistency rule, flip days do not apply in the evaluation model. Funded LiveSim and Live accounts do not have a consistency requirement and do not have a minimum trading-day requirement for withdrawals.

Payout Policy

Earn2Trade-funded traders may request withdrawals once they have withdrawable profits. There are no minimum funded trading days, no funded consistency requirement, and no buffer requirement for withdrawals, aside from meeting the minimum withdrawal amount and covering any applicable first-withdrawal activation fee and withdrawal-method fee. Traders must still follow all funded account trading rules, risk rules, drawdown rules, position limits, trading-hour restrictions, and prohibited-conduct rules.

Withdrawals are processed once per week, every Wednesday. To be included in the Wednesday batch, traders must submit their withdrawal request by 2:00 PM CT on the previous Friday. Requests submitted after the deadline may be delayed until the following weekly processing cycle. Withdrawal requests should be sent to [email protected].

The minimum net withdrawal amount is $100 for both Live and LiveSim accounts. “Net” means the amount remaining after the prop firm’s profit split and the applicable withdrawal fee are deducted. Withdrawal fees apply to every withdrawal request, regardless of the amount requested.

The profit split is based on the size of each individual withdrawal request, not the trader’s accumulated profit. For Trader Career Path LiveSim accounts, TCP 25 withdrawals under $1,500 use a 50% profit split, while withdrawals of $1,500 or more use an 80% profit split. TCP 50 withdrawals under $2,250 use a 50% profit split, while withdrawals of $2,250 or more use an 80% profit split. TCP 100 withdrawals under $3,000 use a 50% profit split, while withdrawals of $3,000 or more use an 80% profit split. TCP 150 withdrawals under $4,000 use a 50% profit split, while withdrawals of $4,000 or more use an 80% profit split. TCP 200 withdrawals under $5,000 use a 50% profit split, while withdrawals of $5,000 or more use an 80% profit split. TCP 400 accounts use a fixed 60/40 split.

For Gauntlet Mini LiveSim accounts, GM 50 withdrawals under $2,250 use a 50% profit split, while withdrawals of $2,250 or more use an 80% profit split. GM 100 withdrawals under $3,000 use a 50% profit split, while withdrawals of $3,000 or more use an 80% profit split. GM 150 withdrawals under $4,000 use a 50% profit split, while withdrawals of $4,000 or more use an 80% profit split. GM 200 withdrawals under $5,000 use a 50% profit split, while withdrawals of $5,000 or more use an 80% profit split.

LiveSim maximum withdrawal amounts depend on the program and account size. For Trader Career Path LiveSim accounts, the LiveSim max withdrawal is $1,750 for TCP 25, $3,000 for TCP 50, and $6,000 for TCP 100. TCP 150, TCP 200, and TCP 400 accounts do not show a LiveSim max withdrawal in the current Earn2Trade withdrawal table. For Gauntlet Mini LiveSim accounts, the LiveSim max withdrawal is $5,000 for GM 50, GM 100, GM 150, and GM 200.

Withdrawal methods are not optional. The prop firm may assign traders to its payment provider of choice, and some payout options are available only in select regions. Direct crypto withdrawals are only available in select cases.

Withdrawal method fees are as follows: Rise charges $50 per withdrawal for non-U.S. customers and 1.5% for U.S. customers. Deel charges $50 per withdrawal. Bayzat fees range from $5 to $40. Direct Crypto charges 0.735%. Banks, payment providers, and crypto exchanges may also charge their own transaction fees.

Rise currently does not support payouts for traders based in Iowa, Minnesota, South Carolina, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or Haiti. These restrictions are due to regulatory and compliance requirements. Affected traders who pass the evaluation stage may be provided with alternative payout solutions by the connected prop firm. Traders nearing the withdrawal stage should contact the prop firm’s team to discuss available payout options. For support, traders may contact [email protected].

LiveSim account holders with non-professional CME status are charged a one-time, per-account activation fee of $139. This fee is not paid upfront. It is deducted only from the trader’s first profitable withdrawal, and only if the trader makes a withdrawal. If the trader does not make a withdrawal, they are not required to pay the activation fee. For the first withdrawal only, the trader’s profits must be sufficient to cover the $100 minimum withdrawal amount, the $139 activation fee, and the applicable withdrawal-method fee.

LiveSim account holders with professional CME status are subject to monthly market data fees of $140 per month per exchange. Live account holders are subject to monthly data fees of $140 per month per exchange when using Rithmic, or $156 per month per exchange when using NinjaTrader. CME charges are billed per calendar month and are not prorated. Traders are also responsible for applicable commissions, NFA fees, exchange fees, platform fees, and any other trading-related costs that apply to their funded account.
