Rule by rule
In the Gauntlet Mini and Trader Career Path evaluations, an end-of-day trailing drawdown that adjusts at close, is breached intraday against open equity, and freezes at the starting balance (GAU50 = $2,000). Funded Live accounts switch to a continuous intraday trailing drawdown, and the largest Trader Career Path funded accounts use a FIXED minimum balance ($194,000 on the $200K, $388,000 on the $400K) that never trails.
All plans use an end-of-day trailing drawdown ($1,000 to $5,250 by plan and size) that updates end-of-day but is enforced in real time. On Sim Funded accounts it locks into a fixed floor $100 above start once you profit past the drawdown amount; evaluation accounts do NOT lock.
A hard daily loss limit including open P&L and commissions — touching it for an instant, even without closing the position, fails the evaluation. In the Gauntlet Mini it runs $1,100 (GAU50) to $4,400 (GAU200); the Trader Career Path starts lower (e.g. $550 on the $25K).
Soft daily limit that pauses the session without failing the account. On Growth and Lightning it starts at $600 on the 25K, $1,250 on the 50K and $2,500 on the 100K; Select Daily funded accounts run lower, at $500, $1,000, $1,250 and $1,750 by size, and Select Flex and Select evaluations carry no daily limit at all. At 6% profit the limit is raised on current accounts; it is fully removed only on legacy pre-Sep-2025 accounts. Tradeify's own pages disagree on the 150K: the Growth evaluation article says “$3,750” and the Daily Loss Limit article says “$3,000”. Accounts bought before 2026-03-31 keep $3,750, so both figures can be true at once for different accounts — the Growth article does not say so. Our planning assumption, not Tradeify's statement: size a 150K to $3,000 unless you bought before that date.
A 30% rule in the evaluation only: no day may be 30% or more of total PnL (it never fails you, just delays passing); funded accounts have no consistency rule.
Consistency only blocks payouts, never the account: 35% on funded Growth, 40% in the Select evaluation only, and a progressive 20/25/30% by payout number on Lightning.
50K Growth: $3,000 target, 1-day minimum, no consistency rule in the evaluation.
Weekly Wednesday payouts from $100 minimum net; the split is set by EACH withdrawal's size against your account tier's threshold: TCP 25K–200K switch from 50/50 to 80/20 at $1,500/$2,250/$3,000/$4,000/$5,000 (TCP 400K is a fixed 60/40), and Gauntlet Mini funded accounts GM50–GM200 at $2,250/$3,000/$4,000/$5,000.
A 90/10 split across plans, with payouts every 5 winning days on Growth and Select Flex, daily on Select Daily, and instant on Lightning, always subject to per-payout caps. On Select the cap depends on when you bought: accounts purchased from 1 September 2026 have lower caps on Flex (down to $4,500 on the $150,000, previously $5,000) and higher ones on Daily (up to $1,750 on the $100,000, previously $1,500). Minimum $250.
Gauntlet Mini 50K (GAU50): $170/month on Earn2Trade's Gauntlet Mini page. Their own homepage advertises the same programme "From $68", and we do not treat that gap as settled. Earn2Trade states "No Upfront Activation Fee" — upfront is their word, and a separately reported $139 LiveSim activation deducted from your first withdrawal is consistent with it, so we do not publish this as having no activation fee. Retries come with the monthly renewal.
