E8 MarketsE8 Markets 50K E8 Zero Max: Rules, Cost & Payout Analysis
How it scores
E8 Markets 50K E8 Zero Max ranks #15 of the 87 50K futures plans we benchmark, with a PropBench Score of 66. Its strongest part is payouts, its weakest is cost.
One try costs $328. The evaluation needs $3,000 on a $1,500 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 4.3). The funded account needs $1,000 on a $1,500 end of day trailing drawdown (1 in 1.8). Together that is about 1 in 7.7 tries to a first payout on coin flip odds, so a first payout costs $2,514 on average (the typical plan of this size: $1,431).
A steady trader making $200 a day gets the first payout after 16 trading days and keeps $10,080 from 3 months of funded trading.
Cost$2,514 per first payout16
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.
