Weekly (Wednesdays)
1. The Progression Ladder
You cannot trade max contracts from the start. Earn2Trade enforces a profit-based progression ladder that unlocks contract limits as you profit.
How It Works
If you exceed your allowed contract limit, your evaluation is blocked for the rest of that trading day. Repeated violations may impact your account.
2. The 30% Consistency Rule
No single trading day's profit can exceed approximately 30% of the total profit target.
Example (3,000 Target)
If you violate this rule, you must continue trading until that day's profit falls within the 30% threshold relative to your total.
3. The $4,000 LiveSim Withdrawal Cap
For LiveSim® accounts from the Gauntlet Mini™ program, maximum withdrawals are capped at $4,000.
This caps your upside on the Mini program. The Trader Career Path® has different scaling.
4. Trading Hours & Position Closing
All positions and working orders must be closed by 3:50 PM CT. No overnight holding allowed.
5. First Withdrawal Activation Fee
Traders with non-professional CME status using LiveSim® have a $139 one-time activation fee deducted from first profit withdrawal.
Factor this into your first withdrawal planning.
6. Minimum Trading Days
