Everything About the Gauntlet™
The Gauntlet™ is a custom developed Futures trading evaluation tool that will help you determine if you are ready to trade live in the Futures market, and it is the final step in our education program.
The evaluation is based on a few hard rules enabling the trader maximum flexibility in pursuing their preferred trading strategy. It should be attempted after finishing the Beginner Crash Course and spending significant time on a trading simulator. Those with ample experience in the market already can attempt to pass The Gauntlet™ as well.
We've partnered with a proprietary trading firm to validate your Gauntlet™ performance. Upon successful completion of The Gauntlet™ your results will be sent to our proprietary trading partner, who will review your results and bring you on as a funded trading partner of their firm. Earn2Trade will also issue you a certificate upon successful completion as a symbol of passing The Gauntlet™.
What are The Gauntlet™ rules?
1) Manage a $25,000.00 virtual account over a 60 calendar day period
2) Submit a Trading Plan in the Dashboard
3) Trade a minimum of 30 calendar days and once per week
4) Reach a 10% profit target by the end of The Gauntlet™
5) 10% Maximum drawdown
Candidates also have the option of choosing preset stop losses, daily losses and weekly loss limits, as well as setting their own additional rules for the 60-day evaluation period. It's important to note that if a candidate chooses to set their own rules, they should do their best to abide by them.
Funding Amount
$25,000.00. All of the funds are available for the traders from day one as available margin.
Profit Split
80%.
The maximum drawdown depends on your performance in the Gauntlet™ and is based on the following chart:
| Drawdown in Gauntlet | Drawdown Offered |
|---|---|
| 2% or less | $2,500 and a full refund |
| 3% or less | $2,000 |
| 4.5% or less | $1,750 |
| 7% or less | $1,500 |
| 10% or less | $1,000 |

What is Journalytix?
Thanks to a partnership between Earn2Trade and Jigsaw (the makers of Journalytix) the platform is integrated into the trading dashboard for Gauntlet™ candidates. Gauntlet™ candidates will benefit from all of the advanced statistics and journaling tools available in Journalytix, including:
- Trader Support Dashboard - Journalytix "Day Overview" combines a real time audio news feed, economic release warnings (1min, 5 min prior to release), real time economic news announcements and Profit, Risk and Open P&L charting - to give you a single view that ensures you are always aware of how your day is progressing, how that compares to your typical day and what events are shaping the days action.
- Trade Journaling & Tagging - within seconds of creating or closing a position on your trading platform, trade details are automatically sent to our servers. A friendly, unobtrusive notification will give you 1-click access to the journal for that position where you can - voice dictate notes (130 languages supported), categorize the trade, add free-format hashtags and attachments such as screen shots or videos.
- Advanced Analytics Dashboard - Analyze your trade history to discover what's really impacting your P&L - good & bad.Analyze by trade types and the free-format hashtags you added to the positions, find out which instruments, what times of day, what behaviors are really driving your bottom line.
- Playbook - as nothing works all the time, the playbook is your repository to save information about your trading rules and which market conditions best suit each set up. Many traders without a playbook move from one setup to the next without realizing those setups only stopped working because volatility shifted. When volatility returns to it's prior state - those setups represent opportunity once more.
- P&L Calendar - at a glance monthly/weekly overview of performance overtime. Spot outlying days in terms of good/bad performance and trade frequency - then zoom in to review what you did on those days & what was going on in the markets, so that you can better learn from the experience.

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.”
