E8 MarketsE8 Markets 100K E8 Signature: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
E8 Markets 100K E8 Signature ranks #28 of the 77 100K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 54.
One try costs $280. The evaluation needs $6,000 on a $3,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 3.9). The funded account needs $3,100 on a $3,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 2.4). Together that is about 1 in 9.1 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $2,554 on average (the typical plan of this size: $2,601).
A steady trader making $400 a day gets the first payout after 23 trading days and keeps $17,760 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$2,554 per first payout53
A trader with no edge reaches a profit of d before losing a static drawdown of D with chance D ÷ (D + d). A trailing floor that follows the peak gives e−d ÷ D; end of day trailing counts halfway between the two.
