What the rules mean in practice
- To pass, grow the $100K account by $6,000 (6%) without breaking a loss limit.
- On any single day you can lose up to $2,200 (2.2%). Check Earn2Trade's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
- The account fails if you lose $3,500 (3.5%). This is end-of-day trailing drawdown: the loss limit moves up once a day, based on your end-of-day balance, and ignores swings during the session.
- Consistency rule: No single day may be 30% or more of total profit in the evaluation; none once funded
- At a 50% split, you need about 0.7% return on the funded account to earn back the $350 fee for one month.
- The evaluation and the LiveSim account use an end-of-day trailing drawdown that counts open losses and stops once it reaches the starting balance. Live accounts use a drawdown that trails intraday, and the $200K and $400K growth-plan accounts use a fixed floor ($194,000 or $388,000).
- Reaching the daily loss limit or exceeding the progression-ladder contract limit fails the evaluation outright.
- Payouts: requests sent by 2:00 PM CT on Friday are paid the following Wednesday, with a $100 minimum net withdrawal and no buffer, minimum days or consistency rule once funded.
- Each withdrawal is split 50% if it is below a threshold and 80% if it is at or above it: $1,500 (TCP25), $2,250 (TCP50), $3,000 (TCP100), $4,000 ($150K live) and $5,000 ($200K live). The $400K account pays a fixed 60%.
- Growth plan: hitting the profit goal and withdrawing the share moves the trader up one size. TCP25 grows to $50K, $100K and $200K; TCP50 to $100K, $200K and $400K; TCP100 to $150K, $200K and $400K. TCP25 traders cannot reach $400K.
- A LiveSim account moves to a live account after total withdrawals of $1,750 (TCP25), $3,000 (TCP50) or $6,000 (TCP100).
- The $139 activation fee applies only to LiveSim accounts for non-professional traders and is taken from the first withdrawal; live accounts instead pay market data fees of $140 per exchange per month ($156 on NinjaTrader).
- Each monthly rebill adds one free reset. Paid resets are $100 on TCP100 and promotion-linked (always below the subscription price) on TCP25 and TCP50.
