Earn2Trade Consistency Rule, Explained
Rules verified 2026-07-15 · official source
Earn2Trade caps your best single day at 30% of total profit during the evaluation. One huge day doesn't fail you — it just doesn't count fully until you dilute it with more trading days.
What the rule actually blocks
The math: if your best day is $2,000 and the cap is 30%, you need total profit of at least $6,667 before that day stops being "too big". You don't lose the money — you keep trading (or keep waiting) until the ratio clears.
| Phase | Best-day cap |
|---|---|
| Evaluation | ≤ 30% of total profit |
| Funded (LiveSim) | None |
How traders actually breach it
The trap isn't breaking the rule — it's planning a payout around a P&L number the rule won't release yet. Traders count the money before checking the best-day ratio.
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.
FAQ
What is the Earn2Trade consistency rule?
Your best single day can't exceed 30% of your total profit during the evaluation. It delays payouts/passing rather than failing the account.
Does breaking the consistency rule fail my Earn2Trade account?
No — it's not a breach. It blocks the pass/payout until more trading days dilute the oversized day below the cap.
