My attempt to earn a funded account with Earn2Trade

LoL. Not exactly. Since 2 years ago - covid era - I stopped trading for awhile due to failed evals and loss of personal brokerage account. Worked some weird jobs to get by. Now after having saved some cash, quit my job to do this full time again. Let's just say that "I'm all in..."

Ahh, so you stopped and then started again? Well, should show the new baseline you are working from, as far as timeframe. Did you have to reset?

I've suffered enough to have made some real progress as a trader, but more importantly as a person so I'm now ready to fulfill manifest destiny.

Quit your job to trade a fake funded account?

I don't want to be negative, but really?

Nope. No resets. 18 straight days. Had a few rough sessions but was able to break even or reduce loss.

I'm ready to become the GOAT and yield the fruit of my 20+ year journey.

No reset. Started a few weeks ago and have been fairly consistent.

I think a lot of people who have never tried an evaluation with these funder firms are under the impression that the trailing drawdown is infinite.

It's not....it stops when your trailing drawdown reaches your starting balance.

Sure, it sucks but if you're a decent trader with good risk management and know to how scale in-out, this should not be a huge endeavor.

As far as I read topstep has a forever trailing drawdown.

I like your challenge and your story in general.

Can i ask you, which of those platforms you'd think is the most legitimate and recommend the most? Topstep, E2T or something else even? Thanks

There are few differences between these companies:

I believe TST offers a non trailing DD during the combine and a trailing for the funded account.
I believe E2T recently also introduced something like this.
OneUpTrader is the only one that offers free data and no monthly fee.
With TST you have to pay for both step 1 and 2, the others have no step 2 or is free.
With E2T you have to pay for the data yourself and you are charged professional data fee.
The same goes for TST, you have to pay for professional data.
With LeeLoo and Apex you have to pay a monthly fee, i believe it is around $88 for data etc in the funded account.

In the end the evaluation accounts between these companies aren't too different from each other, so you will have to decide for yourself which one you want to try based on some of those differences i mentioned above, there probably are more but it has been a while since i have tried one of these.

If you are looking for a sale, LeeLoo, Apex and E2T have regular promotions. Apex currently has an 80% off code on their website.
