Earn2Trade: Exceeding the progression ladder size is an instant fail

The maximum position size is a hard fail rule on evaluations and on funded accounts. One order above the allowed size ends the account.

Earn2Trade: Hedging between your own funded accounts ends access

Taking opposite positions across your LiveSim or Live accounts is strictly forbidden. Earn2Trade says account access will be terminated.

Earn2Trade: Grain and livestock futures must close hours earlier

Livestock contracts must be flat by 1:05pm CT and grains must also be flat during a morning window. Trading outside approved times fails the evaluation.

Earn2Trade: Small withdrawals are paid at a 50% split

The split is set by the size of each single withdrawal, not your total profit. On a TCP 25 account a withdrawal under $1,500 is paid at 50% instead of 80%.

Earn2Trade: Miss the Friday cutoff and your payout waits another week

Requests must reach the prop firm by email by 2:00 PM CT on Friday to be paid the following Wednesday. A later request rolls to the next weekly run.

Earn2Trade: No Rise payouts in some US states and territories

Rise does not pay traders in Iowa, Minnesota, South Carolina, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands or Haiti. The prop firm picks the payment provider.

Rule Check answers

What Rule Check reads when it calls this firm compatible or a conflict. Open one to read the rule in the firm’s own words.

Can you trade the news?Yes

Evaluations (Trader Career Path and Gauntlet Mini). The funded-account rules page also says users are permitted to trade during news events on funded accounts.

“You are allowed to trade during news events — there are no restrictions on trading around economic announcements.”

Can you copy trades?No

Banned on evaluations and on LiveSim and Live funded accounts.

“The use of trade copiers is not allowed on any of our programs.”

Can you hold positions overnight?No

Funded LiveSim and Live accounts. Evaluations have the same 3:50 PM CT close. Some grain and livestock contracts close earlier.

“Trading Hours: All positions and working orders must be closed between 3:50 PM CT and 5:00 PM CT. No overnight positions are permitted.”

Can you hold over the weekend?No

Positions must be flat by 3:50 PM CT every day, so nothing is held over the weekend.

“Please note that you CANNOT hold overnight positions in the Trader Career Path®/ Gauntlet Mini™ and all positions must be closed by 15:50 CT (3:50pm CT).”

Is there a consistency rule?Yes

Evaluations only (Trader Career Path and Gauntlet Mini): no day may be 30% or more of total PnL. It does not fail you, you keep trading until it is met. Does not apply to LiveSim or Live accounts.

“The "Maintain Consistency" rule states that over the course of your examination, no single trading day can account for 30% or more of your total PnL.”

Minimum trading days4 days

Trader Career Path and Gauntlet Mini evaluations. There is no formal minimum-days rule, but the 30% consistency rule means at least four profitable days are needed to pass.

“There is no minimum number of trading days required to pass. However, due to the 30% consistency rule, a trader will need at least four profitable trading days to complete an evaluation.”

How often you can be paidWeekly

Funded accounts with the partner prop firm: paid on Wednesdays for requests emailed by 2:00 PM CT the preceding Friday. Minimum net withdrawal $100.

“Withdrawals are processed weekly on Wednesdays via Rise or other platforms. Requests must be emailed to the proprietary firm by 2:00 PM CT on the preceding Friday.”

6 hidden rules you should know before you buy

Terms that can cost you an account or a payout after you have already paid. Hidden means easy to miss, not concealed. The firm publishes every one of these, usually in its terms or FAQ rather than on its pricing page. Tap a rule to read it, with the page we read it on and the date.
