Earn2Trade's drawdown follows your end-of-day close,
not an intraday spike

Two words do all the work in Earn2Trade's rulebook: end of day. Your loss floor sits a fixed distance below your highest daily close.

A trade that goes $1,200 against you at 11am and finishes flat has not moved your floor at all. At a real-time trailing firm the floor follows your equity tick by tick, open profit included, so the same spike permanently raises the bar you have to clear.

The floor also locks at your starting balance. Until that lock lands, a winning day costs you as much room as it makes you profit. Getting the floor to breakeven, not hitting the target, is the milestone that changes how the account should be traded.

Day nine locks the floor at $50,000,
and only then does cushion grow

You start a $50,000 Gauntlet Mini with the floor at $48,000. Day one you are up $900 at lunch, give most of it back, and close at $50,200. The floor ratchets to $48,200 — it followed the close, not the spike.

Day four closes at $51,100, your best yet, and the floor moves to $49,100. You are $1,100 in profit and you still have exactly $2,000 of room, the same $2,000 you started with.

Day nine closes above $52,000, which pushes the floor to $50,000 (your starting balance), and it locks there permanently. Every dollar above $50,000 is now genuine cushion, and the worst the account can do is send you back to breakeven. From here the profit target is the only thing left to solve, which is what the prop firm challenge calculator models across 5,000 accounts at once.

Rules last checked July 2026 against Earn2Trade's own program cards. Note the $200K tier: its target is $11,000 rather than the $12,000 a straight 6% would give, the one tier where the math is in your favor.

The Earn2Trade drawdown calculator works
from closed daily balances only

It works from your realized balance and Earn2Trade's published Gauntlet Mini rules. It cannot see open positions, your progress against the separate daily loss limit, or the 30% consistency cap that can hold up a pass while your floor is nowhere near you.

It models the evaluation and the funded LiveSim, where end-of-day trailing is confirmed. It does not model the Live account, whose drawdown behavior we have not been able to verify officially, so we do not state it. The full rulebook is on the Earn2Trade rules page.

Rules were last checked in July 2026. Confirm anything account-critical in your own Earn2Trade dashboard before you trade against it (that link is a referral, disclosed in the footer, and the coupon quantproptrader applies at checkout).

Earn2Trade shares its floor style with Topstep, and the other two rules in this market are real-time trailing and a static floor, which is what FTMO runs. Surviving the floor is half of it: the Earn2Trade payout calculator handles the withdrawal-size split, and the evaluation cost calculator prices a monthly subscription that keeps billing until you pass.

Common Earn2Trade drawdown questions

How do I calculate my Earn2Trade drawdown?
Take your highest end-of-day balance, subtract your tier allowance ($2,000 on the $50K, $3,500 on the $100K, $4,500 on the $150K, $6,000 on the $200K), and that is your current floor — unless the result is above your starting balance, in which case the floor stops at the starting balance and never moves again. The calculator on this page does both steps, including the lock.
Does an open losing trade move my Earn2Trade floor?
No. The Gauntlet Mini floor tracks end-of-day balances only, so unrealized losses during the session are invisible to it. That is the practical difference from a real-time trailing firm, where a trade that dips deep and recovers still drags the floor along behind your equity peak.
When does the Earn2Trade trailing drawdown stop?
When it reaches your starting balance. Earn2Trade’s Help Center states it directly: the drawdown continues to trail until it reaches the starting balance of the account, at which point it no longer trails above that figure. After the lock your worst case is a reset to breakeven rather than a failed account.
Is the daily loss limit the same as the drawdown?
No, and it is the tighter constraint early on. The daily loss limit is a separate per-day figure ($1,100 on the $50K, up to $4,400 on the $200K) that ends the day rather than the account. Track whichever of the two is closer to you today, because on a fresh account that is usually the daily limit.
