Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

If I turned 20k to 100k in one year(certified), would Helios consider/guarantee a 100k offer?

I would actually hope they increase the offer much sooner, remember you have to pay taxes so being able to scale up to at least 5 contracts or so is very important to be able to withdraw a chunk of the profits to pay the bills and leave the other part in the account to grow it.

If traders who generate a nice steady return only have 5K-10K DD they will not stay very long, the only reason to go with a firm like Helios is so you trade much larger size then you would be able to with your own account. If you are "stuck" in a 20K-25K account for a year, why wouldn't you leave when you make 20K? Then you would have your own account with 20K DD and you no longer have to give away 20% of the profits.

I am currently doing a Gauntlet myself so this is not to criticize them, just my opinion. Only way to find out is to get funded :D
 
So, what’s the allowed leverage/drawdown once funded? Unless it’s unlimited, it’s a joke. I’ll gamble my own money until I can gamble more of someone else’s :)

As someone else stated, depends on your performance. From a legitimate prop firm perspective it didn’t make sense for Helios to fund someone the same who barely passed and had a horrible drawdown the same as someone who had no drawdown and made 4x as much.

Helios is willing to fund traders up to $1MM if they continue to demonstrate consistency when live.

Doesn’t answer my question though. Will you allow unlimited drawdown, and intraday margin guidelines?

It’s possible Helios would, yes. I can’t guarantee it. Would really depend on performance. It would also be not “unlimited” but possibly a 100% max DD.
 
I have some questions regarding the Guantlet.

Can i have maximum drawdown, assuming that is $2500, as my intraday drawdown? I am always a sore loser and not take losses easily.

Is Rtrader free in the funded stage?

Rtrader is always free, unless you use Rtrader Pro.

Max offer is 25K with 20% DD, at least i think so.
Correct me if i am wrong Ryan.

Correct. RTrader Pro is free too when funded, other than the per contract commissions.
