Earn2Trade is a US company specialised in futures. It runs the evaluation and the training, then connects successful traders with partner trading firms that provide the funded account.

Its flagship program, the Trader Career Path, works like a ladder: you start with a $25,000 evaluation, and each goal you reach unlocks a larger account ($50K, $100K, then $200K).

You trade only futures contracts listed on the CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT, on around twenty platforms including NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView. A training library is included.

Verdict

PropFirmScanner verdict

A good fit for disciplined traders who would rather grow a small account step by step than buy a large one outright, from a firm that publishes its pass rate, which is still rare. The trade-off is strict rules with little room for error. Look elsewhere if you want a high split from the first dollar.

Best for

  • Disciplined futures day traders (NQ, ES, CL, GC…) who keep their position size in check.
  • Traders who want to climb in steps from $25K to $200K rather than pay for a large account up front.
  • Traders who want the training and the evaluation in one place.
  • NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView users.

Things to know

  • Going over the contract limit of the progression ladder ends the evaluation immediately. Ten micro contracts count as one.
  • Funded split: 50% below a threshold that depends on the account size ($1,500 on TCP25), 80% above it.
  • Citizens of 25 countries cannot be funded, including Nigeria, Pakistan, Kenya, Ukraine and Russia.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything traders ask about Earn2Trade.

Is Earn2Trade legit?

Earn2Trade is an education and evaluation company based in Wyoming, founded in 2016. It runs simulated evaluations, and traders who pass are funded by partner proprietary trading firms. It also publishes its pass rate. Review the rules carefully and consider starting with a smaller account.

How much does Earn2Trade cost?

Evaluations are billed monthly, from $150 to $550 per month depending on the program and account size. The subscription renews every 30 days until you pass or cancel, so budget for more than one cycle. The configurator above shows the exact price of each program and size.

What profit split does Earn2Trade offer?

The split depends on the size of each withdrawal: 50% below a threshold that depends on the account size ($1,500 on TCP25, $2,250 on TCP50 and GM 50K), 80% above it. The $400K Trader Career Path tier pays a fixed 60/40.

Can I trade the news or hold positions overnight?

News trading is allowed. Every position must be closed by 3:50 PM CT: no overnight or weekend holding, in the evaluation and once funded. Trade copiers are not allowed.

How does Earn2Trade handle payouts?

Payouts are processed every Wednesday for requests sent before 2:00 PM CT on the previous Friday. The minimum is $100 net, paid through Rise, Deel, Bayzat or, in some cases, direct crypto. There are no minimum trading days before a withdrawal.

What fees are deducted from the first withdrawal?

Nothing is paid upfront. On a LiveSim account, a one-time $139 activation fee is deducted from your first profitable withdrawal, and never charged if you make no withdrawal. A Live account has no activation fee but pays market data: $140 per month per exchange with Rithmic, $156 with NinjaTrader. The monthly subscription stops once you pass.

What is the maximum capital I can manage at Earn2Trade?

Up to $400K by climbing the Trader Career Path from TCP50 or TCP100, and up to $200K from TCP25. You can run up to 5 evaluations and 3 funded accounts at a time, only one of them Live.
