Withdrawals & Payouts

Earn2Trade Payout Architecture (2026)

Earn2Trade provides one of the fastest payout rhythms in the futures proprietary trading sector. While many prop firms mandate bi-weekly or monthly payout request windows, Earn2Trade disburses profits on a weekly schedule every Wednesday.

Understanding the 80/20 profit split, the first payout fee deduction, and the LiveSim® cap is vital for planning your capital distributions.

                          ▼
             Compliance & Risk Audit
                          │

Funds disbursed on Wednesday via Rise, ACH, Wire, or Crypto

• Submission Deadline: Requests must be submitted via the trader dashboard before 2:00 PM CT on Tuesday.

2. The $139 CME Non-Professional Data Fee Deduction

Earn2Trade eliminates the barrier of upfront account activation fees. Instead of charging a $149 onboarding fee upon passing:

• Zero Out-of-Pocket Activation: You pay nothing out-of-pocket to activate your LiveSim funded account.
• Deduction from First Withdrawal: When you request your very first payout, Earn2Trade automatically deducts a $139 one-time CME non-professional data fee from your gross payout check.
• Example Calculation:

Gross Trading Profit:                  $2,000.00
80% Trader Split:                      $1,600.00
Less One-Time CME Data Fee:             -$139.00
------------------------------------------------
Net Disbursed to Trader:               $1,461.00

All subsequent weekly payouts are disbursed at the full 80% split with zero data fee deductions.

3. Gauntlet Mini LiveSim® $4,000 Payout Cap

To protect firm liquidity during the simulated funded phase, Earn2Trade institutes a cumulative payout ceiling on Gauntlet Mini LiveSim accounts:

• Maximum LiveSim Withdrawal: $4,000 cumulative total.
• Gross Profit Required: To withdraw $4,000 at the 80/20 profit split, the trader must generate:

Required Gross Profit = $4,000 / 0.80 = $5,000.00

• Graduation to Live Capital: Once the trader reaches the $4,000 withdrawal milestone, Earn2Trade transitions the trader to a Live Funded Account cleared through institutional partner Helios Trading Partners.
• Uncapped Live Trading: In the Live Funded Account, all withdrawal caps are removed permanently, and the trader continues receiving weekly payouts at an 80/20 split on real broker capital.

4. Trader Career Path Milestone Withdrawals

On the Trader Career Path (TCP), withdrawals serve a dual purpose:

1. They deliver cash profit into your bank account at the 80/20 split.
2. They trigger the automatic account tier upgrade (e.g. advancing from the $25K account to the $50K account, and eventually to the $400K static account).

• Direct Bank Wire: International SWIFT wire transfers (typically 2–4 business days).
• US ACH: Direct deposit for US residents (1–2 business days).
