E8 Perpetuals Review | Is This Crypto Prop Firm Worth It?

• A consistency rule of 40% applies, that means that one trading day can not equal or be greater than 40% of the total profits made. (Funded)

Max Position Size

• 50 lots per order for FX and indices
• 20 lots per order for XAUUSD

Server Request Limitation

• There is a limit of 100 orders you can enter at a time, 2000 modifications of TP/SL and orders per day.
• The maximum position limit per day is also 2000.

Risk Management

• Risking your entire daily drawdown on a single trade is not permitted.
• Engaging in prohibited trading practices will result in termination from our program and a refund of the fee paid from the account where this rule was broken.

Hedging

• Hedging across multiple accounts, even those belonging to the same trader, is strictly prohibited.

Trade Duration

• You cannot hold more than 50% of your trades for under one minute.

Risk Exposure Limitation

• E8 reserves the right to de-risk trading strategies by limiting risk exposure to no more than 1% per trade idea or time horizon if prohibited practices are detected.

E8 Trader Stage Account Exceeds Profit Threshold

• If your account's profits surpass the Dynamic Drawdown value, you can request a payout of all profits earned. However, you should leave a drawdown buffer in the account to continue trading. If you withdraw all your profits, it will result in the closure of the account.

E8 Pro

• 2% Daily Profit cap: In each day, the maximum profit you can make is 2%. If you make more, only 2% will be counted towards your profit target.
• Static Drawdown: The drawdown does not trail upward and remains fixed at your starting balance until your first payout is requested. Once the first payout is processed, the drawdown is locked at the initial balance level. For every payout request, 50% of the profits are paid out to you, while the remaining 50% stays in the account as a buffer to help maintain the drawdown threshold.

EAs (Expert Advisors)

• Allowed: You can also use any EA (Expert Advisor) as long as we don't see multiple users executing the same trades/strategy. We limit one strategy per user, so if we see multiple users utilize the same EA, it may lead to the termination of your account. So even though the use of third-party EA is allowed, we recommend that each user use their own programmed EA. 

News Trading

• News Trading: Allowed on E8 One evaluation stage and E8 Pro.
• Not allowed in E8 One Funded stage 5 minutes before or after high-impact news.

Inactivity

• After 60 days of inactivity, the account is disabled and there is no entitlement to a refund.

E8 One

• A consistency rule of 40% and your net profit (payout share) must be greater than 50% of your daily drawdown.
• Minimum payout amount: $100
• If your profits exceed the Trailing Drawdown, you can request a payout. However, you must leave enough funds as a drawdown buffer, removing all profits will trigger account closure.

E8 Pro

• Payouts are available daily, with a minimum profit requirement of 1% and when you request a payout, 50% is your payout, and 50% is kept in the account as a buffer.
