Earn2Trade is a Wyoming registered futures trading evaluation firm. It sells paid, simulated trading challenges and, for traders who pass, arranges access to a funded live futures account through partner firms. Candidates buy into one of two evaluation programmes, trade a demo account against a profit target and drawdown limits, and on success are offered a funded account sized to match their tier. Trading is restricted to futures on the CME, COMEX, NYMEX and CBOT exchanges; stocks, options, forex, crypto and CFDs are not part of the offering. The two programmes differ in how a trader reaches full size rather than in the underlying rules. The Trader Career Path is a scaling ladder that starts accounts at 25,000 dollars, 50,000 dollars or 100,000 dollars and lets a trader climb toward a 400,000 dollar live allocation by hitting and withdrawing a profit target at each rung. The Gauntlet Mini is a single step evaluation, sized from 50,000 to 200,000 dollars, aimed at traders who want to buy straight into a target account size rather than climb a ladder. Both use an end of day trailing drawdown rather than an intraday one, set no minimum number of trading days, and permit trading through scheduled news releases; the firm markets these as points of difference against futures prop firms that impose minimum-day counts or block high impact news. Funded traders keep a profit split that starts at 50 percent and rises to 80 percent once cumulative profit passes a set threshold, with weekly withdrawals available from 100 dollars and no ongoing subscription once funded. The company was founded in 2016 by Ryan Masten and David Lojko; Lojko has run the business since 2019, following Masten's departure from the company in 2020, giving Earn2Trade a longer operating history than most retail futures funding firms, the bulk of which launched from 2020 onward. It is headquartered in Sheridan, Wyoming, and positions itself as an education and evaluation company rather than a broker dealer; funded live accounts are extended through third party partner firms, not by Earn2Trade itself. For 2025 the company published pass rate figures showing 8.89 percent of evaluation candidates passed, with about 18 percent of funded accounts making at least one withdrawal that year. In early 2026, around its tenth anniversary, Earn2Trade added Tradovate (on a CQG data feed) and TradingView as supported execution and charting platforms alongside its existing NinjaTrader integration, and rebuilt its trader dashboard. Its parent company, EDX Education Services LLC, also launched a second, affiliate futures-funding brand, Funding Trading, running the same account tiers with a smaller set of challenge options.
