Trading Rules
Each firm’s daily and maximum loss limits, as the firm sets them. Each firm’s profile says how its limits are measured.
| 2 firms | ||
|---|---|---|
| Daily loss limitAcross the firm's programs | 3% | $4,000 |
| Max loss limitAcross the firm's programs | 3% to 6% | 6% |
| Daily drawdown | 3% of the balance (excluding open positions) at 00:30 UTC, recalculated daily; all variants. | E8 One: calculated from the starting balance of the day (site default $4,000 on 100K; help centre preset 3%). E8 Pro: 2.5% of initial balance. |
| Max drawdown | Static, set at account start from the initial balance: 6% (1 Step Classic), 5% (1 Step Pro), 3% (1 Step Turbo). Same in evaluation and funded accounts. | E8 One: dynamic drawdown that rises with the highest closed balance and locks permanently at the initial balance (site default 6%, e.g. $6,000 on 100K; help centre preset 4%). E8 Pro: 8% static drawdown from the initial balance, moved to the initial balance after the first payout. |
| Minimum trading days | None; the account upgrades as soon as the target is hit. | None; E8 One can be passed in one day. E8 Pro counts at most 2% of initial balance per day towards target and profit (daily profit cap). |
| Time limit | None. | Unlimited; at least one trade must be placed and closed every 60 days. |
| News trading | Allowed with no restrictions. | E8 One: unrestricted in the challenge; in the funded (Performance) stage no trading 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after high impact news. E8 Pro: help centre states no news restrictions (article refers to E8 Pro Forex). |
| Overnight and weekends | Overnight, weekend and holiday holding allowed; no forced close. Trading 24/7 subject to maintenance. | Overnight and weekend holding allowed on E8 One and E8 Pro. |
| EAs and copy trading | Hedging within one account allowed (Hedge Mode on by default). Prohibited: cross account and cross trader hedging, copy trading between different traders, trade ideas copied from third parties, off the shelf evaluation passing approaches, exploiting latency or pricing errors, and strategies hard to replicate live. | EAs allowed if not shared across multiple users. Copy trading allowed only between the trader's own accounts. Hedging only within a single account; perpetual accounts use a netting system, so opposite positions on one instrument net off. |
| Consistency rule | None on any account. | E8 One: none in the challenge; 40% best day rule in the funded stage. E8 Pro: none. |
