Earn2Trade Rules Explained (With Simple Examples)

1. End-of-day trailing drawdown

Example on TCP25 ($25,000 account, $1,500 drawdown):

• Start: your floor sits at $23,500
• Day 1 closes at $26,000 → the floor moves to $24,500
• Day 2 you are up +$1,000 intraday, then close flat → the floor does not move. Only the closing balance counts.

Better than an intraday trailing drawdown: floating profit never traps you by raising the floor mid-session.

2. Daily loss limit

On TCP25 it is $550. Lose more than that in one day and the account is gone. Set your own stop at $400 so a bad fill does not end the evaluation.

Every size has its own limit — see the full plan table.

3. 30% consistency rule

Profit goal $1,750 → your best single day must stay under $525.

Made $700 in one day? You now need more total profit: $700 ÷ 30% = $2,334 before you pass.

4. Payouts

• 80% profit split on funded accounts — 50% on the part of a withdrawal below $1,500. The rate depends on the size of each withdrawal, not on your total profit.
• Minimum withdrawal: $100 net, paid weekly.

5. Scaling (Trader Career Path)

Start at $25K, $50K or $100K and move up step by step: to $200K from TCP25, to $400K from TCP50 and TCP100.
