E8 MarketsE8 Markets 25K E8 Signature: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
E8 Markets 25K E8 Signature ranks #23 of the 64 25K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 56. Its strongest part is rules, its weakest is payouts.
One try costs $120. The evaluation needs $1,500 on a $1,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 3.1). The funded account needs $1,100 on a $1,000 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 2.5). Together that is about 1 in 7.6 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $918 on average (the typical plan of this size: $1,011).
A steady trader making $100 a day gets the first payout after 26 trading days and keeps $4,080 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$918 per first payout59
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.
