Live account

Not fully confirmed yet

Most accounts here stay simulated for the account's whole life: the firm pays you out of its own revenue, and no real money ever changes hands in your trades. Earn2Trade is different — it also runs a real, live-capital account that some traders graduate into.

How you qualify

Not really a graduation trigger in the usual sense -- a passed evaluation gives the trader a default of LiveSim (simulated, withdrawable), but the downstream partner firm "may decide to provide a Live account instead of a LiveSim" at its own discretion.

What changes once you're live

The published numbers (profit target, drawdown, DLL, profit split) are identical between LiveSim and Live at every step of the ladder -- only real-vs-simulated capital differs.

Worth knowing

Structurally different from every other firm: Earn2Trade itself never funds anyone. After passing, the trader is handed to one of several separate third-party partner firms (Helios Trading Partners, Appius Trading Limited, Kronos Proprietary Trading) who actually decide Live vs. LiveSim and set the real terms -- which partner firm applies isn't knowable in advance.

“Real capital” and “live” are Earn2Trade's own description of this account, taken from its own site — not something we independently verify. Source

About Earn2Trade

Runs two products: Trader Career Path, which automatically grows your funded account size as you withdraw profit, up to $400K, and Gauntlet Mini, a simpler single-size evaluation with a profit split that improves the more you make. Funding is issued through a partner firm rather than Earn2Trade directly.
