E8 charges no payout fee. WorkMarket or Rise may charge a processing fee depending on the selected withdrawal method.
Challenge and SimFi Performance accounts are simulated. Futures market data is sourced from CME.
Elite trades real capital by risk-team invitation; standard Funded accounts use simulated capital.

- Zero Starter and Zero Max: daily, minimum $100.
Core and Instant: every 10 active sessions. Rapid Daily: after one session; Rapid Futures 3D: every 3 sessions. Rapid closes after the fifth payout.
The website advertises processing within 48 hours or a 100% split on that payout. Bank transfer or USDC ERC-20 according to the help center.

Signature Futures and Zero allow a maximum of 5 payouts per account; after the fifth, the account closes and a free Challenge of the same size is issued.
Up to 50% of profits per request, before the split. Core/Instant 50K: $1,500/$2,000/$2,500 for payouts 1-2/3-4/5+; 100K: $2,000/$2,500/$3,000. Rapid Daily 50K: $1,000 for the first two, then $1,500; 100K: $1,500/$2,000. Rapid 3D 50K: $2,000; 100K: $2,000 for the first two, then $3,000.

$100
No published minimum.
Payouts require successful onboarding and KYC with WorkMarket or Rise. If neither provider accepts the trader, E8 cannot process the payout.
Per contract per side: dxFeed $0.75 micro / $2 mini; Tradovate $0.80 / $2.88. CME L1 included; other exchanges and L2 cost extra. Tradovate is limited to DLL accounts; evaluations cannot migrate.
After an account fails, a 10% discount is available for 7 days to retry the same account size and settings.
Evaluation resets and up to two funded or Instant resets. Help articles exclude promotional accounts from resets, although the Welcome Futures checkout displays a reset price. Confirm before purchasing a Welcome reset.
Zero Starter and Zero Max allow the payout share to be increased from the 80% base configuration to 100% at checkout.
Discretionary invitation to Elite with real capital and individual limits. The website also advertises a waiting list; automatic scaling is not guaranteed.
EOD Dynamic Drawdown based on the highest end-of-day balance. Intraday equity does not move it. It locks permanently at the initial balance level.
EOD trailing: the threshold follows the highest closing value and never decreases. It locks at the initial balance when reached or after the first payout. Subsequent loss room consists of the profits left in the account.
- Signature Futures: 80%.
- Zero Starter/Max: 80% base; 100% can be selected at checkout.
- Signature Challenge: none.
- Signature Performance: 2% Daily Pause (soft breach; trading resumes the next day).
- Zero Challenge and Performance: none.
Core DLL and funded Rapid Daily: the checkout specifies one soft closure and account termination on the second breach. Older Core DLL articles still describe an immediate hard breach.
- Challenge stage: unlimited accounts.
- Signature Futures: up to 5 active Performance accounts.
- Zero Starter/Max: up to 3 active Performance accounts. Limits apply per household.
Signature requires leaving a non-withdrawable buffer equal to the EOD Dynamic Drawdown before payouts. On Zero, any profit left after a payout remains as buffer and cannot be requested in a later cycle.
Unlimited, but the account closes after 7 days of inactivity.
New purchases: 90-day evaluation; Instant accounts have no expiry. No monthly renewal fees for purchases from 22 October 2026 at 18:00. Older accounts retain their renewal terms.
- Signature Futures: can pass in 1 day.
- Zero Starter/Max: earliest pass in 3 days because of the 40% Best Day rule.
Core: no minimum evaluation days. Rapid: the help center specifies 3 evaluation days and consistency.
No activation fee or recurring subscription.
- Signature: 5 profitable days between payouts after the first payout; a profitable day requires at least 0.3% realized profit.
- Zero Starter/Max: no minimum profitable days in Performance.
Only Zero Performance accounts scale contract allowance. At 1.5% locked profit the first level unlocks the next day; at 3% the second level unlocks. Signature and Zero Challenge contract limits do not scale.
One-time fee. No subscription.
Core and Instant: up to 10 funded accounts. Rapid: up to 5. One Welcome account per user. Unlimited evaluations; passed accounts can wait for an activation slot. Futures limits are separate from CFD/crypto limits.
Semi-automated and fully automated trading, including bots, AI tools and HFT above 300 trades per day, is prohibited on Futures.
Only self-developed or transparent systems with full source access and control over their logic. No commercial black-box bots, HFT or arbitrage.
Allowed for security or connectivity, never to conceal identity or bypass restrictions.
Futures accounts use a netting system. Hedging across multiple accounts or users is prohibited.
At least 50% of total profit must come from trades held for 10 seconds or longer.
No HFT or tick scalping. Payouts require the 15-second rule: at least half of trades and profits must come from trades exceeding that threshold, as described in payout help.
There is no fixed percentage risk cap, but irresponsible, all-or-nothing or disproportionate risk-taking can trigger review or account termination.
Position Loss plans aggregate all trades in the same market, including fees, spread and slippage. Limit: 1% in evaluation and 0.5% funded/Instant. Two soft closures; the third breach ends the account. Rapid Futures does not use this limit.
Allowed only between accounts owned by the same trader. Team trading, signals and copying another trader are prohibited.
The account closes after 7 days without opening and closing at least one trade.
Closure after 8 calendar days without trading. Opening or closing a trade resets the timer; an open position pauses it.
- Zero Challenge: 40% Best Day rule; if the best day exceeds 40% of total profit, the effective target increases.
- Zero Performance: no consistency rule.
- Signature Challenge: no consistency rule.
- Signature Performance: 35% Best Day rule for payout eligibility.
Core: 30% funded and Instant, none during evaluation. Rapid: 40% during evaluation; none for funded Rapid Daily. Rapid Futures 3D: 40% per funded cycle. Resets after each payout.
