The Gauntlet Mini™ is an intraday futures trading exam that guarantees a funding offer for a live trading account by our trading partner on successful completion.
Our goal is to offer an opportunity for futures traders who have the skill, but lack the capital to become professional traders by bringing them together with a proprietary trading firm.
The Gauntlet Mini™ evaluates your trading performance using a set of rules you follow until you’ve traded on at least 15 days and reached the profit target specified by your account size.
These rules include some limits on your daily and total losses, number of contracts and events traded, but do not include a time limit.
The Gauntlet Mini™ works on a paid subscription basis and the examination lasts until you meet your target without breaking the rules or until you cancel your plan.
