E8 Markets rules: drawdown, daily loss and reset time

E8 One: a 9% profit target, a 4% daily loss limit that resets at 00:00 Athens time (EET/EEST, GMT+2 or GMT+3 in summer), and a 6% intraday trailing maximum loss that stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance.

Daily reset

The daily loss limit resets at 00:00 Athens time (EET/EEST, GMT+2 or GMT+3 in summer).

Daily loss calculation

The limit is 4% of the starting account size.

Maximum loss

The maximum loss is 6%, trailing: it follows the peak and it is recalculated on every tick. It sits a fixed distance behind the peak. It stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance.

Minimum trading days

Not recorded in the verified rules.

Consistency rule

Yes, a 40% best-day rule. Payouts need no day above 40% of total profit and net profit above half the daily drawdown.

News trading

Restricted on funded accounts only: no opening or closing trades within 5 minutes of high-impact releases. Profit made inside the window is deducted. E8 One Performance account: opening, closing and SL/TP execution prohibited ±5 min around high-impact events on targeted instruments (speeches: until 5 min after the speech ends). Profits are auto-deducted at payout review. Challenge stages unrestricted. source

Program notes. Modelled at the configurator's default: 6% dynamic drawdown, 9% target, 4% daily loss. The drawdown can be raised at checkout (8% and 10% lift the target and daily limit in proportion) and older accounts may carry the help centre's 4%/6%/3% preset, so check the numbers on your dashboard. Daily loss is a fixed amount below the day's starting balance at 00:00 server time (UTC+3 summer, UTC+2 winter). The drawdown rises with closed profit and locks at the initial balance. Payouts need no day above 40% of total profit and net profit above half the daily drawdown. No trading within 5 minutes of high-impact news on the Performance account.

E8 Pro: a 6% profit target, a 2.5% daily loss limit that resets at 00:00 Athens time (EET/EEST, GMT+2 or GMT+3 in summer), and a 6% static maximum loss.

Daily reset

The daily loss limit resets at 00:00 Athens time (EET/EEST, GMT+2 or GMT+3 in summer).

Daily loss calculation

The limit is 2.5% of the starting account size.

Maximum loss

The maximum loss is 6%, static: a fixed floor below the starting balance that never moves.

Minimum trading days

Only 2% of the initial balance per day counts toward the target, so passing takes at least 3 profitable days.

Consistency rule

No consistency rule.

News trading

Allowed. E8 Zero, Signature and Pro have no news restrictions at any stage. E8 One's Performance (funded) account is the exception, see the program override. source

Program notes. Modelled at the configurator's default: 6% static drawdown, 6% target, 2.5% daily loss; the 8% and 10% settings raise the target to match. Only 2% of the initial balance per day counts toward the target, so passing takes at least 3 profitable days. Daily loss is a fixed amount below the day's starting balance at 00:00 server time (UTC+3 summer, UTC+2 winter). The first payout moves the floor up to the initial balance. Daily payouts from 1% profit; no consistency rule; news and weekend holding allowed.

E8 Signature: a 6% profit target, no daily loss limit, and a 4% end-of-day trailing maximum loss that stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance.

Daily reset

There is no daily loss limit, so there is no daily reset.

Daily loss calculation

There is no daily loss limit.

Maximum loss

The maximum loss is 4%, trailing: it follows the peak and it is recalculated once at the end of the trading day. It sits a fixed distance behind the peak. It stops trailing once it reaches the starting balance.

Minimum trading days

Not recorded in the verified rules.

Consistency rule

Yes, a 35% best-day rule. Payouts need no day above 35% of profit, 5 profitable days of 0.3% between payouts, and a buffer equal to the drawdown.

News trading

Allowed. E8 Zero, Signature and Pro have no news restrictions at any stage. E8 One's Performance (funded) account is the exception, see the program override. source

Program notes. One phase, 6% target, no daily loss limit in the challenge. The end-of-day drawdown trails the highest end-of-day balance by a fixed $1,000 (25K), $2,000 (50K), $3,000 (100K) or $4,500 (150K) and locks at the initial balance, or on the first payout. Performance account only: a 2% daily pause stops trading until 00:00 server time without breaching. Every position is closed at 23:00 server time, so nothing is held overnight or over the weekend. Payouts need no day above 35% of profit, 5 profitable days of 0.3% between payouts, and a buffer equal to the drawdown.
