Based on the Signature Futures 50K plan. Each challenge page has the full rule sheet.Drawdown
Both use an end-of-day dynamic drawdown: the loss level follows your highest end-of-day balance, updates once a day at the close (intraday swings don’t move it) and locks at the starting balance. E8 Zero: $1,000 on 25K, $1,500 on 50K, $3,000 on 100K and $3,990 on 150K. E8 Signature: $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 and $4,000.
Daily loss
E8 Zero has no daily limit. E8 Signature has a 2% daily pause on the funded account: at 2% down, trading stops until the next day, but the account isn’t failed.
Targets
E8 Zero: $1,500 on 25K, $3,000 on 50K, $6,500 on 100K and $9,000 on 150K, with a 40% best-day rule, so the fastest pass is 3 days. E8 Signature: 6% ($1,500 to $9,000), passable in a day. No minimum days.
Payouts
E8 Zero: 80% (100% as an option), request any day, $100 minimum, no consistency rule on the funded account, and a cap per payout ($600 to $2,000 on Zero Starter, $1,500 to $5,000 on Zero Max). E8 Signature: 80%, a 35% best-day rule, 5 profitable days (0.3% or more) between payouts and a $100 minimum. Both end after 4 payouts: the account closes and you get a free challenge of the same size.
Platform, contracts and hours
Tradovate only (it can connect to TradingView). E8 Zero challenge accounts allow 3 contracts on 25K, 4 on 50K, 8 on 100K and 10 on 150K. Positions are closed every day at 15:10 CT. News trading is allowed on E8 Zero.
