Two-step configurator
Start with your goal. Price and rules update as you choose.
Both lead to a funded account. The difference is whether you want to climb or start at your target size.
A progression ladder: you begin at $25K, $50K or $100K and scale up to $400K by hitting and withdrawing each profit target.
A single-step exam at the size you actually want: $50K, $100K, $150K or $200K, funded at that level immediately on passing.

After you pass
What actually happens after you pay, step by step.
Evaluation
Simulated account, real market data, billed monthly until you pass.
Certification
No minimum days. Respect the target, the drawdown, the daily loss and the consistency rule.
Pick your account
LiveSim opens the next day, a full Live account takes two to three days more.

Simulated capital, real market data, real withdrawals.
Real capital, orders routed straight to the exchange.
All the costs to expect
Costs arrive at different stages, not all upfront. Here is the full sequence for a trader who passes.
Evaluation
Monthly subscription
From $150/month, billed every 30 days until you pass or cancel. Each renewal includes one free reset. With the current 50% discount the first four billings are halved.
Funded
Subscription stops
Once you pass, the monthly subscription ends entirely. LiveSim access opens the next day, a full Live account takes two to three days more.
First payout
Activation fee
A one-off activation charge is deducted from your first withdrawal. Nothing upfront, and nothing at all if the account closes in failure. The amount depends on the account and platform — expect $139 to $156, confirmed at checkout.
Live account
Market data
Only on a full Live account: CME market data is billed directly by the provider, roughly $140/month on Rithmic and $156/month on NinjaTrader. LiveSim accounts do not pay this.
Included value
The Beginner Crash Course comes free with every subscription — it is aimed at traders new to futures and adds value beyond the evaluation itself.
Free with every subscription
No separate purchase, no upsell.
Before you buy
Four things decide whether you keep the account.
Touching the daily loss limit or the drawdown threshold fails the account immediately.
Recalculated at the close, but an open loss below the threshold can still fail the account in real time.
During evaluation, your best day must stay under 30% of total profit. It disappears once funded.
Close everything before 3:50pm CT. No overnight or weekend positions.

Platforms
Tradable assets
Commissions
Exchange fees up to ~$0.54 per side on standard contracts and ~$0.46 per side on micros, plus $0.10 per side Rithmic platform fee and $0.02 per side NFA fee. Round turns count double. Live accounts also pay CME market data directly: around $140/month on Rithmic, $156/month on NinjaTrader Live.
Refund policy
No activation fee upfront. A one-off activation charge is deducted from your first profitable withdrawal on a funded account, and is never charged if the account closes in failure. The exact amount depends on the account and platform you pick — Earn2Trade's handbook quotes $139 for LiveSim activation, while their partner team quotes $156 for NinjaTrader, so confirm the figure at checkout. Subscription fees stop entirely once you pass; funded accounts carry no monthly fee.
Reset fee
Trader Career Path: one free reset earned with every successful monthly renewal, accumulating while the subscription is active. Gauntlet Mini: no free resets — $100 on the 100K, $130 on the 150K, $155 on the 200K, dynamic pricing on the 50K.
About Earn2Trade
Earn2Trade is a futures-only evaluation provider founded in 2016, trading exclusively centralised CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX products — no forex, no CFDs. Traders who pass an evaluation receive a funding offer from a partner proprietary trading firm and choose between a LiveSim account (simulated capital, real market data, real withdrawals) or a full Live brokerage account. Two paths are available: the Trader Career Path, a subscription-based progression ladder scaling from $25K to $400K with a free reset earned every month, and the Gauntlet Mini, a single-step intraday exam that funds you at your evaluation size immediately. Both use end-of-day trailing drawdown during evaluation, which gives trades more room than the tick-by-tick intraday models used elsewhere, and neither requires a minimum number of trading days. Payouts run weekly on Wednesdays from $100, with an 80% split above the tier threshold. Earn2Trade holds a 4.7 rating on Trustpilot, the highest of any major futures prop firm.
