Earn2Trade The Gauntlet Mini

Earn2Trade's Gauntlet Mini: 30% consistency, no minimum trading days, a 200K account size, and news trading allowed — unusual among futures prop firms.

Overview

Two things make Earn2Trade unusual. It offers a 200K account, the largest in this calculator outside DayTraders' 300K, and it permits news trading, which most futures firms restrict or ban outright. If your edge is built around economic releases, the number of firms you can legitimately use is very short and this is on it. The cost is a 30% consistency rule, joint-tightest here, which pushes the evaluation out to four days.

The rules that decide whether you pass

Consistency rule

Best day no more than 30% of total profit. There is no minimum trading day rule layered on top, so this ratio alone sets the pace.

Fastest legal pass

Four days. Four equal days sit at 25% of the total each, inside the cap. Three would be 33% and fail. Nothing else lengthens it — there is no minimum-day requirement to serve.

Who this account is for

A good fit if…

  • Traders whose strategy trades economic releases and needs a firm that allows it
  • Anyone who wants a 200K account without moving to a firm with a harsher drawdown

Look elsewhere if…

  • Traders optimising for speed — 30% consistency is among the slowest here
  • Anyone whose results are concentrated in one strong session

Questions traders actually ask

Does Earn2Trade allow news trading?

Yes. Earn2Trade permits trading around news events, which is unusual among futures prop firms — most restrict or prohibit holding through high-impact releases. Always confirm the current policy in your own dashboard before relying on it.

How many days to pass the Gauntlet Mini?

Four. The 30% consistency rule means no single day may exceed 30% of your total profit, and four roughly equal days is the shortest arrangement that satisfies it.
