The Trader Career Path®

Earn2Trade's signature program. One evaluation. One pass. A scaling ladder that takes you from a $25K virtual account to a $400K funded account — without ever retaking a challenge.

Scaling ladder. Pass once, upgrade automatically as you withdraw profit. No re-challenges.

80% of every dollar you pull from the market is yours. No upfront activation fee on the sub.

Publicly disclosed 2025 pass rate. Most prop firms hide this. Earn2Trade publishes it.

The scaling ladder

You pick your starting point. The ladder does the rest. Every time you fully withdraw the profit target, the account auto-upgrades.

STEP 1
$100K Evaluation — virtual capital, pass the test
STEP 2
$100K Live or LiveSim® Account — first funded account, you keep 80% of profit
STEP 3
$150K Live Account — first auto-upgrade after you hit profit target
STEP 4
$200K Live Account — second upgrade
$400K Live Account — drawdown fixed to $388K. Top of the ladder.

Pick your starting account

You can start anywhere. Most traders start at TCP50 — it's the balance of risk, buying power, and monthly cost.

The rules that matter

Simple to read, hard to execute. This is where most traders blow up before day 10.

Minimum 10 trading days

You have to trade at least 10 days before your evaluation can complete. This is the consistency gate — it keeps traders from hitting a lucky home run and walking out with a funded account they can't actually manage.

EOD drawdown, not trailing

Earn2Trade uses end-of-day drawdown. It's recalculated after the close based on your locked-in balance. Easier to trade than a live trailing drawdown — you don't get stopped out by an unrealized spike.

Progression ladder on contracts

You can't jump to max contracts on day one. There's a scaling ladder based on account equity that forces you to prove you can manage the size before you get access to it.

Consistency rule

No single day can dominate your P&L. One lucky trade on day 3 won't pass you — you need spread-out, repeatable performance. This is the rule most candidates fail on at the very end.

NEW IN 2026

Tradovate is now live

Earn2Trade has officially integrated Tradovate into the Trader Career Path product suite. For futures traders who've wanted the web-based speed of Tradovate with the scaling funded-account model of Earn2Trade, this is the combination you've been waiting on. No local install, trade from any browser, and the integration works across all three TCP tiers.

NinjaTrader and Finamark are still included free. You don't have to choose — pick the platform that fits your workflow.

Who the Trader Career Path is actually for

✓ You'll love it if

  • — You trade futures on CME/COMEX/NYMEX/CBOT. TCP is built for you.
  • — You hate trailing drawdowns that stop you out on unrealized spikes.
  • — You want to pass once and scale, not re-buy a challenge every month.
  • — You're a US trader and want a CFTC-friendly firm.
  • — You want real pass-rate transparency — Earn2Trade publishes theirs.
  • — You want multiple platform options (Tradovate + NinjaTrader + Finamark).

✗ Look elsewhere if

  • — You trade forex, stocks, options, crypto, or CFDs. Not allowed.
  • — You want a 90% or 100% profit split (Apex, Goat go higher).
  • — You want instant funding with no challenge at all.
  • — You day-trade once a week. 10-day minimum will break you.
  • — You need a free reset every single time you bust (TCP is one free per rebill, not unlimited).

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is the Trader Career Path?

Earn2Trade's 3-step funded futures evaluation. You pass once, then the account auto-scales from your starting size up to $400K as you withdraw profit. One of the only prop programs with a lifetime scaling ladder instead of a reset cycle.

What's the pass rate and can I trust it?

8.89% in 2025, per Earn2Trade's own public disclosure. Most prop firms don't publish this number at all — that they do is a point in their favor. It means 1 in ~11 candidates passes. Plan accordingly.

What's the catch on the profit split?

80% to you, 20% to Earn2Trade. There's a one-time $139 LiveSim® activation fee taken from your first withdrawal — not upfront. No monthly activation fee, no hidden data fee during evaluation (data is included). Live account data fees start when you switch to a real funded account.

What markets can I actually trade?

Futures only. CME, COMEX, NYMEX, CBOT. That's ES, NQ, YM, RTY, CL, GC, SI, ZB, ZN, ZC, ZW, and the rest. No stocks, no options, no forex, no crypto, no CFDs. If futures isn't your game, TCP isn't your program.

Tradovate vs NinjaTrader — which should I pick?

Tradovate if you want browser-based, trade from any machine, no install, and minimal setup. NinjaTrader if you want advanced charting, strategy builders, and the widest indicator ecosystem. Both are free with your subscription. You can even switch mid-evaluation.

Is the 50% off promo worth waiting for?

If you're reading this before April 14, the current Easter 60% deal beats the 50% deal (use code happyapril before midnight CT on Apr 13). If you're reading it on or after April 14, the 50% deal with code ToolsTradingHub is the one to grab — it runs through Apr 24.
