Upon successfully completing an evaluation, Earn2Trade verifies the results and forwards them to a proprietary trading partner (such as Helios Trading Partners or Appius Trading Limited). The partner firm will offer either a LiveSim® or Live account.
Rules for Funded Trading Accounts (LiveSim® & Live)
Traders often confuse evaluation rules with funded trading account rules. The rules below apply specifically to funded trading accounts (LiveSim® and Live):
Rules that apply:
Drawdown: Funded accounts are subject to drawdown rules. LiveSim® accounts use End of Day (EOD) Drawdown. Live accounts use Trailing Drawdown. The $200K and $400K TCP accounts use Fixed Drawdown.
Daily Loss Limit: Funded accounts have a daily loss limit that must not be breached.
Progression Ladder: The maximum position size rules apply and must be respected. Exceeding the limit is a hard fail.
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.
Prohibited Assets: Forex, Bitcoin futures (BTC), and Ether Futures remain prohibited.
Trade Copiers Prohibited: Trade copiers are strictly forbidden on funded and evaluation accounts.
Account Limits: Users can have a maximum of 3 funded accounts at any one time, of which up to 3 can be LiveSim®, but only 1 can be Live.
Rules that do NOT apply to funded accounts:
No Subscription Fee: There is no subscription fee once funded (except for live data costs on the Live account).
No Minimum Trading Days: There are no minimum trading days required to be able to withdraw.
No Consistency Requirement: There is no consistency rule on funded accounts. Traders may withdraw regardless of how their profits are distributed across trading days.
No Buffer Requirement: There is no buffer requirement (apart from the minimum withdrawal requirement of $100, and the necessary requirement to deduct the activation fee from the first withdrawal).
News Trading Permitted: Users are permitted to trade during news events on funded accounts.
