WHAT IS THE GAUNTLET MINI™?
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.

Testimonials
“I gotta say these guys are excelente mentors, they teach and explain everything step by step clearly with easy understanding for anyone who hasn’t seen any financial lesson before.
I highly recommend them as an option for easy and clear learning.”
“As a former educator, I know just how important it is for learners to have materials that are clear, simple, and easy to understand. Earn2trade takes complex information and breaks it down into tutorials that are concise, informative, and most of all, fun. Now I'm onto putting what I've learned to use by exploring their simulator account - and looking forward to learning even more!”
“I have learned a lot about trading since starting with Earn2Trade. I started with very little experience. The videos explain the topics in an easy to understand format that is not boring. The webinars dig in and really explain the topics. My mentor is very encouraging and helps me understand the things that I'm having trouble with.”
