What the rules mean in practice
- To pass, grow the $400K account by $24,000 (6%) without breaking a loss limit.
- On any single day you can lose up to $12,000 (3%). Check E8 Markets's rules for whether that is measured from the day's starting balance or equity, because open trades count.
- The account fails if you lose $16,000 (4%). This is balance trailing drawdown: the loss limit rises with your closed balance as you make profit, so it follows your gains.
- Consistency rule: None in the challenge; 40% best-day rule applies to payout requests in the performance stage
- At a 80% split, you need about 0.41% return on the funded account to earn back the $1,301 fee.
- Payouts: on demand once the 40% best-day rule and minimum profit are met.
- Sizes and prices above are the preset configuration described in the help center: 4% dynamic drawdown, 6% target, 3% daily drawdown and 80% payout share.
- The drawdown is chosen at checkout and sets the target and daily limit with it: 4% (6% target, 3% daily), 6% (9% target, 4% daily), 8% (12% target, 5.3% daily), 10% (15% target, 6.6% daily) or 14% (21% target, 9.2% daily).
- List prices for a $100K account at 80% payout by drawdown tier: $398 (4%), $488 (6%), $586 (8%), $684 (10%), $879 (14%).
- Choosing a 90% or 100% payout share raises the price; at the 4% tier a $100K account lists at $445 (90%) and $493 (100%).
- The website configurator opens on the 6% drawdown tier, while the help center describes the 4% tier as the preset.
- The dynamic drawdown moves up only when profit is closed (not with floating equity) and stops once it reaches the starting balance.
- Daily drawdown is a fixed dollar amount (the chosen % of the initial balance) subtracted from each day's starting balance.
- E8 One is not sold to residents of Bulgaria, Laos, Romania, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Cambodia or Croatia, and is capped at $200K for India, Vietnam, Kenya and Indonesia.
