EOD Dynamic Drawdown
- The loss level follows the highest end-of-day balance, moves only on closed profit, updates once a day at the close and locks permanently once it reaches the initial balance. On the Signature 100K it is $3,000, configured as 3% of the account. Because it updates daily rather than tick by tick, open profit during the session does not drag the threshold up behind the trader.
Daily pause, not a daily breach
- Signature sets a daily pause - $2,000 on the 100K - which applies in the performance stage only. Hitting it stops trading for the rest of the day; it does not fail the account. E8 Zero has no daily loss limit at either stage.
Consistency sits in different places
- Signature applies a 35% best-day consistency rule. Zero moves its 40% rule into the challenge so the funded stage runs without one, which is the main reason to pay more for Zero.
Contract limits by size
- Signature caps position size at 2 contracts on a 25K, 4 on a 50K, 8 on a 100K and 12 on a 150K, with micros counting against the same allowance.
Everything closes at 15:10 CT
- The trading session runs 17:15 to 15:10 CT and every open position is force-closed at 15:10 CT. Nothing is carried through the daily maintenance break, so the programme is intraday by construction.
No activation fee and no paid reset
- E8 Futures charges no activation fee on passing and does not sell resets. When an account finishes its payout cycle it closes and a free challenge of the same size is issued in its place.
Seven days of inactivity closes a Zero account
- A Zero account is closed after seven days with no trade both placed and closed, in the challenge or once funded.
