E8 Markets’ rules for every plan we list, taken from E8 Markets’ own site and read on 23 Oct 2026: 7 plans across forex & CFD, futures and crypto perps. On the forex and crypto plans the first profit target runs 6% to 9%, the daily loss limit 2.5% to 4% and the max loss 6%. The futures plans set every limit in dollars, shown below at 50K. The profit split is 80%, and each plan below links to its full rule sheet. Our official code B22B0989 works on E8 Markets’ checkout.

| E8 Pro Perpetuals | 1-step | 6% | 2.5% | 6% | Static | 1:15 | 80% |
Rules in plain English: Forex & CFD
Drawdown
E8 One uses a dynamic drawdown: the loss level sits 6% below your highest closed balance, rises only when you close a profit (floating profit doesn’t move it) and locks for good at the starting balance. E8 Pro uses a static 6% drawdown from the starting balance that only moves when your first payout is processed. Both are chosen at checkout; we list the 6% version.
Daily drawdown
4% on E8 One and 2.5% on E8 Pro in the version we list, measured from the day’s starting balance. Hitting it fails the account.
Targets
E8 One: 9% in one phase, passable in a day. E8 Pro: 6%, and only 2% of the starting balance per day counts toward it (a daily profit cap). No minimum days; place at least one trade every 60 days.
Payouts
80% split in the version we list (higher splits cost more). E8 One: first payout after 3 days, with a 40% best-day rule on the funded account. E8 Pro: daily payouts with no caps or consistency rule; you need 1% profit to request one, and half of your profit stays in the account as a buffer.
News and leverage
E8 One: news trading is free in the challenge; on the funded account you can’t trade 5 minutes either side of high-impact news. E8 Pro allows news trading on both. Leverage on E8 One: forex 1:30, indices and metals 1:15, crypto 1:1. Platforms: MT5, TradeLocker, cTrader, Match-Trader and E8 Terminal.
Rules in plain English: Futures
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.
Rules in plain English: Crypto Perps
Products
E8 One and E8 Pro also run on perpetual futures with Hyperliquid prices (BTC, gold, oil, Nasdaq, Nvidia and more), traded 24/7 on the E8 Terminal, with the same rules as the forex versions. E8 One: 9% target, 6% dynamic drawdown on your highest closed balance, 4% daily. E8 Pro: 6% target, 6% static drawdown, 2.5% daily and a 2% daily profit cap.
Leverage
Up to 1:15 on Bitcoin.
Payouts
80% split in the version we list. E8 One: first payout after 3 days, with a 40% best-day rule on the funded account. E8 Pro: daily payouts once you’re 1% up, with no payout caps.
