Payout methods: Workmarket, Rise and Aeropay.

Every E8 Markets plan uses end-of-day (EOD) trailing drawdown. An end-of-day trailing drawdown is recalculated from your closing balance after each session, so the floor does not move up while you trade.

E8 Markets consistency rule by plan: Signature: none during the evaluation, 35% once funded; E8 Zero MAX: 40% during the evaluation, none once funded; and E8 Zero Starter: 40% during the evaluation, none once funded. A consistency rule caps how much of your total profit a single trading day may make up.
