DEVOURED LAST CHECKED 12 Aug 2026
Earn2Trade
The education-first futures evaluation. The Gauntlet Mini is the entry point.
Earn2Trade is the education-first name in futures: the Gauntlet Mini evaluation is bundled with training tools, and the rules are clean, no consistency rule, clear targets. The friction is philosophical: you're paying for evaluation plus education, and the platform list is narrower (NinjaTrader, Tradovate). Solid for beginners; less interesting for experienced traders who just want a cheap challenge.
The Verdict
DECENT, WITH CATCHESGenuinely good. Read the catch section before you hand over money.
Best for learners. Experienced traders can find cheaper pure evaluations.
WHAT'S GOOD
- No consistency rule
- Real educational content bundled
- Clean, readable rules
- Operating since 2018
- Good reputation in futures community
WHAT'S NOT
- Bundled pricing, less efficient for pure evaluations
- Narrow platform support
- Payout record positive but quieter than leaders
The Catch
read before you payYou're buying a bundle
Evaluation + education + community. If you only want the challenge, you're paying for parts you don't need. If you want the education, it's genuine value.
Narrow platform list
NinjaTrader and Tradovate only. No TradingView. Platform choice is part of the decision here.
Split is mid-tier
The 80/20-class split is standard but the funding structure differs from the volume players. Read the funded-account terms.

Would We Buy It?
