Earn2Trade rules: the Gauntlet Mini in numbers

RB Trading Last checked: 8 October 2026 4 min read

Earn2Trade's Gauntlet Mini is a single-phase futures evaluation with an end-of-day trailing drawdown, a daily loss limit that fails the evaluation if you hit it, and a 30% consistency rule that means at least four profitable days. From 6 July 2026 the payout split depends on how big each withdrawal is.

Gauntlet Mini by size

	50K	100K	150K	200K
Target	$3,000	$6,000	$9,000	$11,000
EOD drawdown	$2,000	$3,500	$4,500	$6,000
Daily loss limit	$1,100	$2,200	$3,300	$4,400
Max contracts	6	12	15	16

Contracts follow a progression ladder: you start below the maximum and earn more size as you profit. Exceeding the ladder is a hard fail. US pricing may differ from the non-US page we read.

Why 30% means four days

Worked example: 50K Gauntlet Mini

No single day may be 30% or more of total profit. If you finish exactly on the $3,000 target, your best day must be under $900. Three days of $899 make $2,697, short of the target, so you need at least four profitable days.

Breaking the 30% rule does not fail you; you keep trading until it is met. The daily limit is different: lose $1,100 in a day and the evaluation ends. A trader risking $250 per trade has four full stops of daily room, not five, and should stop after three.

The drawdown, in each stage

In the evaluation and LiveSim, the drawdown trails your end-of-day balance: a $100 profitable close raises your minimum balance by $100. Open losses still count during the day. Live accounts switch to an intraday trailing drawdown on open equity. We could not confirm when the end-of-day drawdown stops trailing, so check the firm's current rules.

Payouts after 6 July 2026

Account	Split below threshold	Threshold	Split at or above
GM50	50%	$2,250	80%
GM100	50%	$3,000	80%
GM150	50%	$4,000	80%
GM200	50%	$5,000	80%

So on a GM50, a $2,000 withdrawal pays you $1,000, while a $2,250 withdrawal pays you $1,800. Batch your requests. Withdrawals are processed weekly on Wednesdays if requested by 2:00 PM CT the Friday before, with a $100 net minimum. LiveSim withdrawals are capped at $5,000 for all Gauntlet Mini sizes.

News trading is allowed. We could not confirm the automation or copy-trading policy, so check the firm's current rules before you run a bot or copier.

Common Earn2Trade failures

Treating the daily limit as a pause

At most futures firms the daily limit pauses you. Here it ends the evaluation.

Jumping the contract ladder

Adding size before you have earned it on the ladder is a hard fail, even on a winning trade.

Small withdrawals

Under the threshold you keep half. A patient, larger request pays 80%.

A Gauntlet Mini plan that respects the wall

Because the daily limit fails the evaluation, give yourself a personal stop well inside it. On the GM50 the limit is $1,100; stop at $600. With $150 risk per trade that is four losses, leaving a full $500 buffer for slippage.

For the 30% rule, cap your best day at $850. At $150 risk and a 2R winner of $300, that is three winners and a loss on a great day. Four or five days of $600 to $850 pass the $3,000 target without the consistency rule ever adding days.

Start at the bottom of the contract ladder and let profit, not confidence, move you up it.

Track Earn2Trade in the RB journal

There is no Earn2Trade preset yet, so use Custom.

Next trade sized to the remaining drawdown room in the RB Trading journal prop tracker, set up for Earn2Trade — Next trade, sized to the room: the tracker caps the trade at half of today's room (demo account).

In Risk Manager, add a prop account and choose Custom. For a GM50: target 6%, daily 2.2%, total 4%, trailing.
Futures platforms do not run the RBSync EA, so import your fills from a CSV export of your platform (the journal reads NinjaTrader and Tradovate exports, and the generic CSV mapper handles others).
Treat the daily room as a hard wall: the journal warns before you reach it.
Check your best day against 30% of total profit each evening.
Log withdrawals with the amount requested and paid, so the split threshold is visible in your history.

Questions traders ask about Earn2Trade

Does hitting the Earn2Trade daily loss limit fail the evaluation?

Yes. Earn2Trade's help centre treats its evaluation rules as hard fails, including the daily loss limit.

What is the Earn2Trade consistency rule?

In the evaluation, no single day may be 30% or more of total profit. It does not fail you; you keep trading until it is met. It does not apply on LiveSim or Live.

How does the Earn2Trade profit split work?

For purchases from 6 July 2026, each withdrawal below a size threshold pays 50%, and at or above it pays 80%. On a GM50 the threshold is $2,250.
