Real opinions
Quick verdict: Earn2Trade is the most veteran futures prop firm in the retail sector — it has been operating since 2016 (10 years going strong). Trustpilot 4.7/5 with 4,759 verified reviews. Its Trader Career Path (TCP) program with scaling up to $400,000 and static drawdown is unique in the market: no other firm offers that structured growth route. I have personally withdrawn with them. My score: 8.5/10. In July 2026 it took the step we had been asking for: it removed the 10-day minimum from the evaluation (you can now withdraw in ~4 days, not 11) and raised the limit to 5 accounts in the evaluation (3 in funded). Minor gripes remain: the profit split is now scaling (80/20 above the buffer, 50/50 below) and it has reintroduced the hard fail in the evaluation.
Earn2Trade is the most veteran futures prop firm in the retail sector, operating since 2016. Ten years going strong in a niche where most competitors have been around 2-5 years. Founded by two registered Commodity Trading Advisors and a university professor, they started as a training company and gradually added funding — nobody else does it with such detail.
I have personally withdrawn with Earn2Trade. It's one of the few firms where I've already cashed out payouts. That gives me a concrete perspective on how the system works in practice: activation after passing the evaluation is clean, payments arrive on time, and support delivers when there are technical questions. It's not a theoretical experience, it's a real track record.
What I like most is the Trader Career Path (TCP) and its scaling up to $400,000 with static drawdown. This program is unique across the whole sector: the trader starts in LiveSim 25K/50K/100K, moves to Live (simulated capital with commitment), and then scales progressively — 50K → 100K → 200K → 400K. At each level more contracts are unlocked, and upon reaching 400K the drawdown becomes static at $12,000 (not trailing). The static drawdown is the holy grail of prop firms: it doesn't move with your equity, which means that once you generate profit, you don't risk it. No other top-tier firm in the sector offers this. For traders with patience and a validated system, TCP is the most structured route to grow toward significant capital.
To that I add the fixed activation fee of $139 across all sizes and plans — cheap compared to large accounts at competitors (where Apex or Bulenox charge $400-$900). It's deductible from the first withdrawal, which reduces the real cost. And unique platforms: Finamark (their own platform, the most used by E2T veterans) and Overcharts don't appear in any other firm in the catalog.
What I don't like after the July 2026 update is the scaling profit split: above the safety-net buffer the split is 80/20, but below it drops to 50/50 (previously it was a fixed 80/20; the buffer = the account's drawdown size, e.g. $2,000 on the 50K), so it's best to let the account grow before withdrawing. Also weighing in is the maximum profit split of 80% (not 90% like Lucid or Tradeify) and the fact that they've reintroduced the hard fail in the evaluation ladder (a bad day that breaks the drawdown or the DLL eliminates the account). The account cap rose from 1 to 5 in the evaluation (3 in funded), still below Apex or Bulenox. The upside weighs more: they removed the 10-day minimum, its biggest historical gripe — a fast trader can now withdraw in ~4 days instead of 11.
My top 5 at El Trader Financiado: Lucid Trading, TakeProfit Trader, MFF, Tradeify and Apex. Earn2Trade sits comfortably in the next tier, especially for profiles that value the TCP to $400K and the 10-year track record.

Cons
Comparison of the three plans with trailing EOD drawdown for a professional profile in 50K, with the discounts active at ElTraderFinanciado (verified May 2026):
| Metric | Earn2Trade Gauntlet Mini 50K | MFF Pro 50K | Tradeify Growth 50K |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payment model | Monthly fee | Monthly fee | One-time payment |
| Price without discount | $170/mo | $227/mo | $145 |
| ETFPROMO discount | -60% lifetime | -50% first month | -40% lifetime |
| Final eval price | $68/mo | $113.50 (1st month) | $87 |
| Activation fee | $139 (deductible 1st withdrawal) | $0 | $0 |
| Total cost to funded (1 attempt) | $207 | $113.50 | $87 |
| Cost if it takes you 3 months | ~$343 | ~$567 | $87 |
| Drawdown 50K | Trailing EOD $2,000 + DLL $1,100 | Trailing EOD $2,000 | Trailing EOD $2,000 |
| Profit split | 80% (50% below buffer) | 80% | 90% |
| Withdrawal frequency | Weekly | Every 14 days | Every 5 winning days |
| Minimum withdrawal | $100 (the lowest) | $1,000 | $500 |
| Minimum eval days | No minimum (~4 due to consistency) | 2 days | 1 day |
| Simultaneous accounts | 5 eval / 3 funded | 5 | 5 |
| Platforms | 4 (incl. Finamark, Overcharts) | 3 | 7 |
| Live program | TCP to $400K (unique) | Builder | Elite |
| Trustpilot | 4.7 / 4.8k | 4.9 / 17.5k | 4.6 / 2.6k |
| Track record | 10 years (2016) | 4 years | ~2 years |
In short: the three compete for the mature profile with EOD drawdown but play different games. Tradeify Growth is the cheapest ($87 one-time payment), the only one with a 90% profit split and the most flexible on timeframes (minimum 1 day in eval). MFF Pro stands out for its Trustpilot (4.9) and its 5 simultaneous accounts, but its cost scales up to ~$567 at 3 months if you're slow to pass. Earn2Trade Gauntlet Mini is the most expensive to funded ($207 with activation), but it offers two unique differentiators: TCP with scaling to $400K and static drawdown, and exclusive platforms Finamark and Overcharts. The choice depends on what you prioritize: profit split and price (Tradeify), Trustpilot and multi-account (MFF), or a structured growth route up to $400K (Earn2Trade TCP).

The 11 prop firms ranked by real value, not by monthly offer.
Earn2Trade is the oldest firm in the catalog - founded in 2016, operating from the United States with Trustpilot 4.7/5 and 4,759 reviews.
What sets it apart from the other prop firms in the catalog:
Trader Career Path (TCP) model Scalable program: you start in sim, after approved withdrawals you move to real live account and then scale up to $400,000 in equity. It is the only model in the industry that scales to such large accounts.
Unlike the rest of the catalog (3-20 accounts), Earn2Trade restricts you to one live account. Less diversification, but more mandatory discipline.
Different platforms: NinjaTrader, Finamark, R|Trader and Overcharts - includes options that do not appear in the rest of the catalog.
If your filter is firm with long history and progression model to real live trading, it fits. If you want multi-account or platforms like Tradovate, it is not the best choice.
Earn2Trade processes payments weekly on funded accounts in both plans (Gauntlet Mini and Trader Career Path). The profit split is 80%.
Minimum withdrawal amount: $100 - the lowest in the catalog.
Payment methods: Rise, Deel, Bayzat and direct crypto.
Minimum trading days before first payout: 7 days.
In the Trader Career Path model approved withdrawals unlock progression to larger accounts (up to $400,000), not just profit withdrawal.
Yes, Earn2Trade is a solid firm. It is the oldest in the catalog: 8 years on the market (founded in 2016), US-based and Trustpilot 4.7/5 out of 4,759 reviews.
Its official support is support@earn2tradefunding.com. It operates with 4 platforms connected to professional data providers: NinjaTrader, Finamark, R|Trader and Overcharts.
Common confusion: Earn2Trade is not related to Just2Trade (traditional regulated broker in Bulgaria with similar name). They are independent companies with different products.
The active code with El Trader Financiado is `ETFPROMO`. It applies a 60% discount on the Trader Career Path and Gauntlet Mini plans.
