E8 Markets Signature Plan Details (2026)

What you need to pass

25K: profit target $1,500, max loss (End-of-Day) $1,000, daily limit none, contracts 2 / 20; 50K: profit target $3,000, max loss (End-of-Day) $2,000, daily limit none, contracts 4 / 40; 100K: profit target $6,000, max loss (End-of-Day) $3,000, daily limit none, contracts 8 / 80; 150K: profit target $9,000, max loss (End-of-Day) $4,000, daily limit none, contracts 12 / 120.

End-of-Day dynamic drawdown: it follows your best closing balance, updates once a day, and locks at your starting balance. No daily limit in the challenge.

No consistency rule and no minimum days in the challenge — you can pass in one day. The 35% best-day rule starts once you're funded.
