Withdrawal Methods
Scaling profit split: the threshold depends on the account size (25K $1,500 · 50K $2,250 · 100K $3,000 · 150K $4,000 · 200K $5,000). Withdrawals above that threshold are split 80/20; below it, 50/50. 1 withdrawal per week. Processed on Wednesday of the following week. To guarantee processing, request before 2PM CT on the previous Friday. The $139 activation fee (LiveSim) is deducted from the first withdrawal. Max $5,000 per withdrawal in LiveSim. Fees: Rise ($50 non-US / 1.5% US), Deel ($50), Bayzat ($5-40), Direct Crypto (0.735%).
On passing you choose between a LiveSim® account (simulated capital) or a Live one (real capital). It is not just a label: the drawdown type, how many accounts you can run at once and, above all, what you pay every month all change.
| Item | LiveSim® | Live |
|---|---|---|
| Capital | Simulated | Real |
| Drawdown | End of day (EOD) | Trailing |
| Concurrent accounts | 3 | 1 |
| Data cost | $139 once, deferred to your first withdrawal | $140-156 per month per exchange |
On Live, data is billed per exchange per month, not once. Across the four CME exchanges (CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX):
CME bills data per full calendar month and does not prorate: turn it on the 28th and you pay the whole month. These are exchange fees and can change without notice. On LiveSim data is included if you declare non-professional status; if you declare professional, you pay $140 per month per exchange on LiveSim too.

Reviews
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 4,947 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 passed their Trader Career Path in 2023 and still have the certificate. 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.
I did trade with them, but the firm rebuilt its site and the history was lost. I have no record to show.
See my full results across every firm →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 passed their Trader Career Path in March 2023 and still have the certificate. From there I moved on to Helios, the group that runs Earn2Trade's funding, and I picked the LiveSim account. I did withdraw with them, but it was from an old account whose receipt I no longer have, so my track record shows zero payouts for them: there I only count what I can back with a document. What I can tell you first-hand is how you get into the system: evaluation, handover to Helios and Rithmic certification, with no friction at any of the three steps.
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 threshold depends on account size: $1,500 on the 25K, $2,250 on the 50K, $3,000 on the 100K, and it applies to each individual withdrawal, not to accumulated profit). The tier applies to the specific withdrawal you request, so you don't need to let the account grow first to get the 80%. 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 moves with the ratings, so it is always up to date in the top-rated ranking. 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 | One-time payment | One-time payment |
| Price without discount | $170/mo | $265 | $145 |
| ETFPROMO discount | -50% (4 months) | -50% on your first 4 purchases | -40% lifetime |
| Final eval price | $85/mo | $132.50 | $87 |
| Activation fee | $139 (deductible 1st withdrawal) | $0 | $0 |
| Total cost to funded (1 attempt) | $224 | $132.50 | $87 |
| Cost if it takes you 3 months | ~$394 | $132.50 | $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 | 7 (incl. Finamark, Overcharts) | 4 | 8 |
| Live program | TCP to $400K (unique) | Builder | Elite |
| Trustpilot | 4.7 / 4.9k | 4.9 / 20.9k | 4.6 / 3.9k |
| 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, and since August 2026 its cost no longer scales with time: it is a one-time payment, however long you take. Earn2Trade Gauntlet Mini is the most expensive to funded ($309 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).

Earn2Trade is the oldest firm in the catalog - founded in 2016, operating from the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) for non-US clients, with Trustpilot 4.7/5 and 4,947 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.
Limited multi-account. It allows up to 5 accounts in evaluation and 3 in sim funded - below Apex's 20 and on par with Bulenox's 5, but far from a single account.
Platform line-up - the widest in the catalog: 22 in total. The three standard ones (NinjaTrader, Tradovate and TradingView) plus another 19 that mostly arrive via the Rithmic feed, including Quantower (order flow) and Overcharts (also offered by Bulenox and TradeDay).
If your filter is a firm with long history and a progression model to real live trading, it fits. If your priority is running 10-20 accounts in parallel, there are more flexible options.
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: 1 day.
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: a decade on the market (founded in 2016). Outside the US you contract with its Dubai entity, and it has Trustpilot 4.7/5 out of 4,947 reviews.
Its official support is support@earn2trade.com. It operates with 22 platforms connected to professional data providers - the widest line-up in the catalog - led by NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView and Rithmic.
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 50% discount for the first three months on the Trader Career Path and Gauntlet Mini plans, plus discounted resets, until 30 September 2026.
It applies directly at Earn2Trade's checkout. Current conditions are at `/discounts/earn2trade`.
