Earn2Trade is one of the older, education-heavy names in futures funding, running on NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic and TradingView with an 80% split. Code Verifier takes 50% off plus a free account of the same size when you reach payout. Drawdown depends where you are: evaluations use an end-of-day trailing max loss, funded accounts let you keep EOD (LiveSim) or move to intraday (Live), and the top Trader Career Path funded tiers go fully static — a genuine off-the-trailing-line destination. Entry is on the higher side (from $150). Compare the plans and rules below and confirm them on Earn2Trade's site before buying.
Good to know before you buy
- Drawdown — Evaluations use EOD trailing; once funded you choose LiveSim (keeps EOD) or Live (intraday trailing). The top TCP funded tiers use a static drawdown.
- Consistency rule — During the challenge, no single day can account for 30% or more of total PnL on the Gauntlet Mini or Trader Career Path (no rule once funded).
- News trading only under conditions
- EAs / bots only under conditions
- Trailing drawdown (Trailing)
- Minimum 10 trading days

Pros

- Code Verifier takes 50% off plus a free account of the same size when you reach payout
- The top Trader Career Path funded tiers use a static drawdown — a real off-the-trailing-line destination
Cons

- The Trader Career Path structure takes some reading to navigate
