Firm Rules:
Maximum Position Size Limits
To ensure proper risk management, the following maximum lot sizes per order apply:
FX & Indices: 50 lots
XAU/USD (Gold): 20 lots
Independent Evaluation Requirement
Each trading evaluation you undertake must be traded and completed independently. Strategies and results must be unique to each specific evaluation account.
Server Request and Order Limits
To ensure system stability, the following daily limits are in place:
Simultaneous Orders: A maximum of 100 open orders at any one time.
Daily Modifications: A maximum of 2,000 modifications to orders (e.g., TP/SL adjustments) per day.
Daily Position Limit: A maximum of 2,000 total positions may be opened per day.
Prudent Risk Management Policy
Traders are prohibited from risking their entire account balance on any single trade. Any trading style deemed excessively risky or indicative of gambling will be considered a violation of our terms, leading to account termination with a full refund.
Prohibition of Multi-Account Hedging
Executing hedging strategies across multiple accounts, even if all accounts belong to the same trader, is strictly prohibited.
Minimum Trade Duration Rule
To prevent excessive scalping, you cannot have more than 50% of your total executed trades held for a duration of less than one minute.
Discretionary Risk Exposure Limits
If prohibited trading practices are detected, the firm reserves the right to de-risk a trader's strategy by enforcing a maximum risk exposure of no more than 2% per trade idea or time horizon.
Comprehensive Copy Trading Rules
Trade copying is permitted under specific conditions that honor our independent evaluation requirement.
Allowed: You can copy trades between your own accounts, such as from a personal account to your E8 Trader account. This includes copying your own trades from a master account to a funded E8 Trader account.
Restriction: You are strictly prohibited from copying trades (manually or via EAs) between multiple E8 evaluation accounts. Each evaluation must be unique.
Policy on Expert Advisors (EAs)
The use of Expert Advisors (EAs) is allowed, with a critical condition regarding strategy uniqueness.
Unique Strategy Rule: We limit one unique trading strategy per user. If our system detects multiple users executing identical trades via the same third-party EA, it may be flagged as a violation and lead to account termination. Therefore, we highly recommend that traders use their own proprietary EAs.
News Trading Rules by Account Stage
The rules for trading during high-impact news events differ based on your account stage:
Evaluation Accounts: News trading is fully permitted without restrictions.
Funded Accounts: Trading is not allowed during the window of 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after a high-impact news release.
Signature Program Trading Hours
For traders in the Signature Program, holding positions overnight or over the weekend is not permitted. All positions must be closed before the end of the trading day on Friday.
Account Inactivity Policy
An account will be automatically disabled after 60 consecutive days of inactivity (no trades placed). Once disabled, the account is not eligible for a refund.
Withdrawal Policy:
Signature Program: Payout and Consistency Rules
The following conditions are required for all accounts in the Signature Program:
Consistency Requirement: Traders must adhere to a 35% profit consistency rule. This also requires a minimum of 5 separate trading days, with each of those days achieving a net profit of at least 0.3%.
Mandatory Buffer & Minimums: A 4% profit buffer is mandatory and cannot be included in a payout request. The minimum payout amounts are $312.50 for Rise accounts and $62.50 for Plane accounts.
Payout Caps: Your maximum withdrawal amount is capped on a tiered basis for the first four payouts:
1st & 2nd Payouts: Up to 2.5% of the account balance each.
3rd Payout: Up to 4.5% of the account balance.
4th Payout: Up to 5.5% of the account balance.
5th Payout & Onward: Up to $25,000 per account.
General Rules for Other Programs
For all other standard programs, the following consistency requirements apply at the time of a payout request:
40% Consistency Rule: Your single best trading day cannot account for more than 40% of your total profits.
Profit vs. Drawdown Rule: Your net profit share must be greater than 50% of your daily drawdown limit. For example, if your daily drawdown limit is $1,000, your profit share must be more than $500 to be eligible for a withdrawal.
Consistency Rules :
Profit Consistency Rule by Account Type
To encourage sustainable trading, a consistency rule is applied, which limits the amount of profit that can be made in a single day relative to the total profit.
- For E8 One, Classic, and Track Accounts: A 40% consistency rule is in effect. This means that the profits from your single best trading day cannot equal or exceed 40% of the total profits made on the account.
- For E8 Signature Accounts: A 35% consistency rule applies. Under this rule, your single best trading day cannot account for 35% or more of your total profits.
