Earn2Trade Futures Contract Limits
Futures prop firms handle leverage differently from Forex and CFD companies. Rather than using ratios such as 1:100, they typically define exposure through the maximum number of contracts a trader can open. Earn2Trade follows this model, with contract limits varying according to the program and account size.
The Gauntlet Mini
Earn2Trade's Gauntlet Mini has the following maximum contract limits:
- $50K: Up to 6 contracts
- $100K: Up to 12 contracts
- $150K: Up to 15 contracts
- $200K: Up to 16 contracts
The program also uses a Progression Ladder, which controls how position size can increase during the evaluation.
- Progression Ladder: Applies
- Rule violation: Exceeding the applicable contract limit can result in a hard breach
Trader Career Path
The Trader Career Path provides the following maximum position sizes:
- $25K: Up to 3 contracts
- $50K: Up to 6 contracts
- $100K: Up to 12 contracts
The Trader Career Path also operates under a Progression Ladder, meaning traders must stay within the contract allowance applicable to their current stage.
- Progression Ladder: Applies
- Rule violation: Exceeding the permitted contract size can result in a hard breach
How Earn2Trade Contract Limits Work
Instead of giving traders a traditional leverage ratio, Earn2Trade limits the amount of futures exposure through contract size. The maximum position increases as traders move to larger account tiers.
For example:
- A $25K Trader Career Path account allows up to 3 contracts
- A $50K account allows up to 6 contracts
- A $100K account allows up to 12 contracts
- A $200K Gauntlet Mini account allows up to 16 contracts
These limits define the maximum position size permitted under the applicable program rules. They should also be considered together with Earn2Trade's drawdown and daily loss requirements.

Why Contract Limits Are Important
The maximum number of contracts is an important factor when comparing futures prop firms because account balance alone does not determine how much exposure a trader can take.
Contract limits can be particularly relevant for:
- Traders who scale positions during the trading session
- Traders using multiple futures instruments
- Traders who trade a combination of micro and standard contracts
- Scalpers who require greater position flexibility
- Traders comparing account sizes between different futures prop firms
The permitted contract size should always be considered alongside the firm's drawdown, daily loss and other risk-management rules.
What to Check Before Choosing an Earn2Trade Account
Before starting an Earn2Trade evaluation, traders should verify:
- Maximum contract size for the selected account
- Progression Ladder requirements
- Maximum drawdown
- Daily loss limits
- Trading restrictions
- Futures instruments available
Understanding these rules beforehand makes it easier to choose an account size that matches the trader's preferred position sizing and strategy.
