Earn2Trade Profit Target, by Account Size
Rules verified 2026-07-15 · official source
Earn2Trade's evaluation target is $1,750 on the Trader Career Path 25K (scaling with size). Hitting the number isn't passing — drawdown and consistency still gate the pass.
The target is the easy half
Most failed evaluations don't die short of the target — they die AFTER touching it, giving profit back into the drawdown line while finishing the remaining requirements. Treat the target as the midpoint, not the finish line.
Once you're near it, the play is defense: smaller size, wider spacing, and knowing your exact distance to the trailing end-of-day (moves only when a day closes at a new high) line.
| Plan | Evaluation |
|---|---|
| Trader Career Path 25K | $1,750 |
| Gauntlet Mini 50K | $3,000 |
How traders actually breach it
The classic post-target failure: doubling size to finish fast, then donating the cushion back. The target doesn't bank until every other rule clears.
TradersGuild tracks this rule live against your trade log and alerts you while there's still room — "you're $220 from the line" beats finding out from a breach email. Tracking is free for your first account.
Recent Earn2Trade rule changes
2026-07-15 — Drawdown lock added per Earn2Trade's own help center: the eval/LiveSim end-of-day trail locks at the STARTING balance — once your Maximum Drawdown reaches it, it no longer rises (previously encoded as never locking, which understated room). The Live funded account's continuous intraday trail also locks at start. The earlier operator flag on a suspected doc contradiction is resolved: the intraday-trail article is Live-account-only.
2026-07-12 — Added Earn2Trade — Trader Career Path 25K and Gauntlet Mini 50K: end-of-day (closed-only) trailing drawdown, a daily loss limit that counts open + closed P&L incl. commissions and hard-breaches on touch (reset 5PM CT), and a 30% best-day consistency rule in the evaluation only.
