Drawdown · what kills you

DisputedPrimary source
Trailing + Static

The trailing drawdown rises only on CLOSED profits (equity never moves it) and locks at the initial balance once you gain the drawdown amount; Pro uses a static 8% and Signature an EOD trail of $1,000–$4,500 by size.

The firm's own pages disagree here. We don't lock a single value until it's resolved — confirm at the source. See all disputes
E8 Markets contradicts itself on this value (E8 One default max drawdown):

What it costs you: On a $100K One account this is $2,000 of drawdown room. Trade believing 6% when it is 4% and you breach $2,000 earlier than planned.

Consistency

Primary source

A best-day rule only in the funded stage: your top day can't exceed 40% (One) or 35% (Signature) of total profit when requesting a payout — the payout is merely deferred, the account survives; Pro has none.

Targets & min days

Primary source
0 min days⏱ 60d

Single phase: $4,500 (9%) target, no minimum days; $3,000 (6%) max drawdown, $2,000 (4%) daily.

Payouts & split

Primary source

First payout from just 3 days into the funded stage (daily on Pro and Zero), at an 80/90/100% split chosen at purchase and paid via Rise or WorkMarket, subject to the best-day rule.

Pricing

Primary source

$50K single-phase: one-time $288 (~$260 with code E8), no monthly or activation fee.

News trading

Primary source
±5 minBlackout window

The restriction applies only to E8 One and E8 One Crypto, and only in the funded SimFi Performance stage - phase-1 challenge trading is unrestricted, and E8 Zero, Signature and Pro have no news restriction at all. On a restricted account you cannot open or close trades, modify SL/TP, or use buy/sell stops from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after a high-impact release. Violating it does not kill the account - the profits are automatically deducted when you request a payout.
