OUR FUNDED TRADER PROGRAM
The Gauntlet Mini™ is an intraday futures trading exam that guarantees trader funding by our proprietary trading firm partner upon 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 at least 15 days and reached the profit target specified by your account size. 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 or change your plan.
What is the Gauntlet Mini™?
Trader funding
There’s a limit to how much money you can make on a personal trading account without putting up a lot of capital at your futures broker. Our trader funding program, The Gauntlet Mini™, helps you overcome this obstacle by providing capable traders with access to funds in return for a percentage of the money they earn from it.
Choose one of the account types below to take the test on a simulated account and qualify for funding based on the starting size of your evaluation account when you pass.

TESTIMONIALS FROM FUNDED TRADERS

The rules for the Gauntlet Mini are absolutely crystal clear, and to be honest, for most traders adhering to the rules will make you better traders. There's no tricks, I suspect most negative reviews are from ppl going bust because they weren't cognizant of the rules or hitting drawdowns etc. Thoroughly recommend.”

Gauntlet Mini™ FAQ

What happens after you get funded?
- LiveSim Accounts
- Live Accounts
LiveSim Accounts
LiveSim accounts are paper trading accounts. From the trader’s perspective, they function the same as Live accounts, including withdrawing profits, but with a few added benefits:
- LiveSim has a quicker setup. Traders can start trading them within two business days of accepting the funding agreement.
- LiveSim traders get market data for their first exchange for free. Additional exchanges (second and onward) will still need to be paid out of pocket by the trader.
- LiveSim accounts calculate drawdown the same way as your Gauntlet Mini™ attempt. See the relevant FAQ explaining the drawdown calculation here.
LiveSim is only available until you make your first $5,000 (minus the 20% profit split). After that, you will switch to a live account.
Live Accounts
Traders who choose to start trading on a Live account cannot return to a LiveSim account afterward.
- Live accounts take longer to set up because they require filing paperwork with a broker.
- Monthly data fees on Live accounts are $105 for each exchange, including the first.
- Live accounts calculate trailing drawdown based on intraday, open equity gains and losses.
