E8 Zero Launch: One-Phase Challenge with Daily Payouts and Static Drawdown
E8 funding firm has officially introduced E8 Zero, a new one-phase evaluation model designed to eliminate common frictions in funding programs. This product stands out by integrating Forex, Crypto, and Futures assets under a simplified rule set. Key Features of the Zero Model The program distinguishes itself by the absence of common industry operational restrictions. Key points include: 100% Payout: Traders retain the entirety of the profits generated. Daily Payouts: Ability to request withdrawals every day after the market rollover ($100 minimum). Static Drawdown: The loss limit is set at 3% of the initial balance and does not follow gains (no trailing). No Consistency Rules: No daily profit caps or minimum trading days required. No Activation Fees: The one-time evaluation fee covers the entire process. Account Structure and Payout Caps E8 Zero offers four account sizes with a 6% profit target to pass the evaluation phase: 50K: $549 Fee | Payout cap per cycle: $3,000. 100K: $999 Fee | Payout cap per cycle: $5,000. 250K: $1,899 Fee | Payout cap per cycle: $6,000. 500K: $3,299 Fee | Payout cap per cycle: $7,000. Risk Management and Account Lifecycle The 3% static drawdown remains until the first withdrawal. Once the first payout is processed, the loss limit locks at the initial balance (breakeven), staying there permanently. Each performance account allows a maximum of five payout cycles; upon reaching the fifth payout, the account is closed, and the trader receives a new Challenge account for free to restart the process.
