E8 Markets is a forex prop firm with three one-step products, E8 One, E8 Pro and E8 Signature, all traded on simulated MT4 or MT5 accounts with no time limit. What makes it worth a look is how different the three are. One has the widest drawdown but a trailing floor, Pro has a static floor and daily payouts but caps how much profit counts each day, and Signature is the tightest and cheapest to start. Picking the right one matters more than picking a size.

1. Every product is one step. You hit the profit target once and move to the funded account, and there's no minimum number of trading days on any of them.
2. The standard split is 80%. E8 Pro lets you choose 100% at checkout.
3. There's no time limit, but you must place and close at least one trade every 60 days or the account closes.
4. The drawdown type changes the way you should trade. E8 One trails your closed profit, E8 Pro uses a static floor and E8 Signature uses an end-of-day dynamic floor.
5. E8 One and E8 Pro are also sold as fully custom accounts where you set the drawdown and target yourself at a different price.

Which Product Should You Pick?

E8 One is the one most traders will start with. A 4% daily limit and a 6% drawdown give you real room, and the target is only 6%. The drawdown trails your closed profit though, so a big winning run raises your floor, and the best-day rule caps how lumpy your profit can be.

E8 Pro suits steady traders. The 8% static drawdown is the most forgiving floor of the three and payouts are daily, but only 2% of your balance counts as performance each day, so you can't pass in one big session and your payouts are paced by that cap. E8 Signature is the cheapest way into a $25K to $150K account and it has a daily pause instead of a daily breach, but the 3% or 4% drawdown is tight and you have to leave a buffer in the account before you can withdraw.

Pricing by Size

These are the standard preset prices. Custom E8 One and E8 Pro accounts are priced separately.

How You Get Paid

There's no fixed payout calendar. On E8 One and E8 Signature you request a payout on demand once you meet the profit and best-day conditions, and the first one can come 3 days into the funded stage. E8 Pro pays daily with a minimum of 1% of your initial balance per request. None of the three cap how much you can withdraw, and Signature asks you to keep a buffer equal to your drawdown in the account first.

Things Worth Knowing Before You Buy

E8's own help pages disagree on whether the E8 One 40% best-day rule applies on the challenge or only on the funded account, so check the terms on your account before you plan around it. Accounts are simulated, and a payout is a share of simulated results. Position size is capped at 50 lots on standard symbols and 20 lots on gold.
