[2-Step] Earnex Prime

3 min. readlast update: 07.21.2025

The Earnex Prime 2-Step Program is a performance-driven evaluation program designed to identify disciplined and skilled traders. With a clear two-phase structure, it offers an opportunity to secure a funded trading account by demonstrating consistent profitability and responsible risk management.

Profit Targets

Stage 1 – Challenge - 8% of the account's initial balance

Stage 2 – Verification - 5% of account's initial balance


Minimum Active Trading Days

An Active Trading Day is defined as a calendar day on which a trader required to do a trade on which at least one trade is opened and closed. A minimum of four (4) separate Active Trading Days is required to progress through each stage. 

Important Notes:

Holding a position across multiple days counts as only one Active Trading Day, regardless of how many days the position is held.

Partial closing of a position is not accepted and will not count as an Active Trading Day.


Max Daily Drawdown

Max Daily Drawdown (Max DD) is a balance-based limit set at 5% of your Initial Balance. The daily drawdown threshold is recalculated each day based on your previous day’s closing balance—this serves as the watermark for the next day’s Max Daily Drawdown.

The End-of-Day reset occurs daily at 22:00 UTC (or 21:00 UTC during Daylight Saving Time), at which point the new Max Daily Drawdown limit is established.

Example: Daily Drawdown on a $10,000 Account. Daily Drawdown is always $500 (5% of $100,000). Even if the balance increases to $11,000, the daily drawdown remains fixed at $5000 per day. It would mean that you're only able to lose $5000 a day per daily reset.

Day 4 -300 10100 9950 10400 500 9900
Day 5 -600 9950 9650 10200 500 9700

Example of a Daily Drawdown Breach of a $10,000 Account

Max Total Drawdown

The maximum total drawdown is static 10% on the Initial Balance. It refers to the maximum overall loss your account can experience at any time from the initial starting balance

Breaching either of the Drawdowns limits will result in a Hard Breach.


Funded Phase Rules

These rules apply only during the Funded Stage and are strictly enforced to ensure responsible trading and capital protection.

News Trading Rule (Funded Stage Only)

To ensure fair and stable trading conditions, Earnex prohibits trading within 5 minutes before and after any high-impact (red folder) economic news release, as listed on Forex Factory.
