| Max loss limitAcross the firm's programs | 6% | 6% |
| Daily drawdown | 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. | 3% daily loss limit in evaluation and funded stages. |
| Max drawdown | 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. | 6% trailing: starts 6% below the initial balance, rises with the highest closed balance and locks at the initial balance once the closed balance is 6% above it; stays locked after a payout. |
| Minimum trading days | 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). | Evaluation: none. Funded: 3 profitable days of at least 0.5% of initial balance before payout (need not be consecutive). |
