Full reviewEarn2Trade — Overview
Earn2Trade is a futures-focused education and evaluation firm with two paths: the Trader Career Path (start at $25k–$100k and scale to $400k by withdrawing milestones) and the Gauntlet Mini (straightforward eval funded at your chosen size, $50k–$200k). Both use EOD drawdowns, hard daily loss limits, a Progression Ladder for contracts, 10 minimum trading days, a 30% Maintain Consistency rule (no single day may be ≥30% of total P&L — soft, so exceeding it just extends the eval rather than failing you; not applied on LiveSim/Live accounts), and $100 resets. July 2026: 50%+ off promo codes are running on both programs.
Apex Trader Funding — Overview
Apex Trader Funding is one of the largest US-based futures prop firms. Products purchased after March 1, 2026 (the "new Apex") use one-time evaluation fees with a 30-day access period — no subscriptions and no resets (a failed or expired eval means buying a new one). EOD-drawdown evaluations (25k–150k) have no consistency rule, no minimum days, and a soft daily loss limit that pauses the day without failing you. Funded Performance Accounts pay a 100% payout split with per-payout caps and a maximum of 6 payouts per account, a 50% consistency rule at payout, and a safety net of drawdown + $100.
