E8 Futures is the futures arm of E8 Markets, led by CEO Dylan Elchami and based in Dallas, TX. It runs two products - E8 Signature Futures and E8 Zero (in Starter and Max tiers) - both 1-step challenges on an EOD Dynamic Drawdown that only updates once a day at market close and locks permanently once your balance clears your starting balance.

- Signature and Zero are mirror images of each other. Signature has no consistency rule to pass the Challenge, but holds you to a 35% rule for payouts once funded. Zero requires a 40% rule to pass, then drops every restriction completely once you're funded.
- Zero Max and Zero Starter share identical trading rules. The only difference is price and how much you can withdraw per payout request - Max costs more and pays more.
- Every account caps out at 5 payouts, then you get a free Challenge of the same size to start over - on both products.
- The EOD Dynamic Drawdown only cares about your daily close, not intraday swings - a rough moment mid-session that you recover from by close doesn't count against you.
- No overnight or weekend holding on either product - all positions force-close at 15:10 CT daily, trading resumes at 17:00 CT.
Which Product Should You Pick?
| If you want... | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| An unrestricted Challenge and don't mind structure once funded | E8 Signature | No consistency rule to pass, pass in as little as 1 day. Once funded: a soft 2% Daily Pause, a 35% consistency rule for payouts, plus a 5-profitable-day and buffer requirement per payout. |
| Complete freedom once funded, and don't mind a stricter Challenge | E8 Zero Starter or Max | 40% consistency rule to pass (earliest pass is 3 days). Once funded: no consistency rule, no daily cap, no minimum profitable days - just clear your payout cap and request daily. |
Between Starter and Max: if your withdrawal needs fit under Starter's cap, it's the cheaper way to identical trading rules. Max costs more upfront but pays up to 3x more per request.
