Earn2Trade LiveSim vs Live $1,000 Discrepancy

Earn2Trade 

The trailing drawdown rule is described in our FAQ, and it is only applicable for Live accounts, not the evaluation since last July. The rule itself is clearly explained and linked to the purchase page, sent in the registration email, displayed in an FAQ and linked to the dashboard once you purchased.

@Earn2Trade,

Thanks for clarifying. Let me break down the trailing drawdown for anyone still confused:

Say you have a $50k account with a $2k trailing drawdown floor at $48k. You make $100 (balance hits $50,100), floor rises to $48,100. The part that catches people -- the trail follows your high-water mark on both closed AND open equity intraday. So if you're up $1,500 midday but give back $1,400 by close, your floor already moved up $1,500 and it's not coming back down.

Once the trail reaches your starting balance ($50k), it locks in as a fixed drawdown. That's the inflection point most people don't realize exists -- things get a lot more manageable after that.

Also worth pointing out the eval hasn't used trailing drawdown since July 2021 -- EOD drawdown only. So ziggy123's experience from a few years back may not reflect the current product at all.

Re: the progression ladder -- yeah, starting at 2 contracts on a "6-contract" account is going to frustrate people. The scaling is documented but the naming doesn't do them any favors.

On pricing -- they bundle Journalytix and the crash course into the sub. Whether that's worth the premium vs competitors running promos is up to each trader.
