Futures Prop Firm Rule Radar
Every night Rule Radar archives the help center of every futures prop firm on the price list and shows exactly what changed: which page, which line, dated, before and after. Payout terms, consistency rules, drawdown math, activation fees: firms rewrite these without an announcement, and this is where you catch it. Updated pages open to the exact wording that changed, every article keeps a full version history you can compare, and a plain-English line on each row says what happened. Nothing here is written by the firms. It is their own help center, read every day and kept. – Jmu (@jmutrades)

Option 1 (Trailing Drawdown)
−
| Account Size | One-Time Fee | Trailing Drawdown | Contract Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $338 | $1,000 | 3 minis (30 micros) |
| $50,000 | $488 | $2,250 | 7 minis (70 micros) |
| $100,000 | $648 | $4,000 | 12 minis (120 micros) |
| $150,000 | $788 | $5,500 | 15 minis (150 micros) |
Option 2 (EOD Drawdown / No scaling)
−
| Account Size | One-Time Fee | EOD Drawdown | Daily Loss Limit | Contract Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | $338 | $1,000 | no daily loss limit | 2 minis (20 micros) |

| $100,000 | $648 | $4,000 | $2,500 | 8 minis (80 micros) |
| $150,000 | $788 | $5,500 | $3,300 | 12 minis (120 micros) |
1 mini = 10 micros.
Both options share the same risk logic. Option 1 uses the trailing drawdown. Option 2 uses the end-of-day drawdown together with a daily loss limit and has no scaling plan.
On both options the drawdown follows the balance upward and then stops for good once it reaches the starting balance plus $100. From that point it is a fixed floor and no longer moves.
On Option 2 the daily loss limit stays active for the whole life of the account and is never lifted. The $25,000 Option 2 account is the exception: it has no daily loss limit.

We split that step out and call it the Buffer Zone. It is where you build the balance that carries into your Sim Funded account, and it is deliberately gentler than the evaluation you just passed: a smaller target and no daily loss limit.
| Account size | Profit target | Drawdown | Consistency | Largest single day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25K | $1,500 | $1,200 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $510 (34% of target) |
| 50K | $3,000 | $2,000 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $1,020 (34% of target) |
| 100K | $3,500 | $2,500 Trailing (EOD) | 34% | $1,190 (34% of target) |
| 150K | $2,000 | $-1,000 Static | 34% | $680 (34% of target) |
| 200K | $3,000 | $-2,000 Static | 34% | $1,020 (34% of target) |
| 300K | $3,500 | $-2,500 Static | 21% | $735 (21% of target) |
And if you fail it, you reset the Buffer Zone on its own. Your evaluation still stands — you never go back to the beginning. Resets are $250 each for the first three, then $300 for resets four to six, $350 for seven to nine, and so on. If your Buffer Zone had already passed into Sim Funded, a reset is $500. These are the Propel Buffer Zone reset prices.
Phase 3 — Sim Funded
Your account is still simulated, but the profits are real and you can withdraw them. There is no profit target here — the job is to keep trading well.

Payouts can be requested daily, Monday to Friday, on any balance above your starting balance. Requests made before 11am ET are processed the same trading day. While Sim Funded, stop trading for the day once you are $5,000 up and for the week once you are $10,000 up — passing $10,000 in total profit triggers a review for Live Brokerage, where the caps come off entirely.
Nothing is charged during this phase. Your subscription ended at the evaluation.
How the consistency rule works
The consistency rule keeps your biggest day in proportion to the rest of your trading. We compare your largest single profitable day against the sum of your profitable days. Losing days are left out of the calculation entirely — many firms divide by your net profit instead, which shrinks the number you are measured against and makes the rule harder to satisfy.
Here is a week counted both ways. Say you made $1,000 on Monday, $900 on Tuesday, lost $600 on Wednesday, then made $900 on Thursday and $600 on Friday:
- At BluSky we add up your profitable days: $1,000 + $900 + $900 + $600 = $3,400. Your biggest day of $1,000 is 29.4% of that — inside the 34% rule. ✅
- Counting net profit instead subtracts the losing day: $3,400 − $600 = $2,800. The same $1,000 day is now 35.7% — outside the same rule. ❌
The 300K works to a 21% rule instead, so the same week would need your profit spread across more days to comply.
Being out of consistency does not fail your account. It is checked when you request a payout or try to pass a phase, and you fix it by trading on — every additional profitable day grows the total you are measured against and brings your percentage down.
Resetting a Propel evaluation
Most traders do not pass first time. A reset clears the days traded, the balance and the rules by creating a fresh evaluation account, so you can try again without buying a new plan.

| 150K | $150,000 | $4,500 | $4,500 net profit | $154,500 | $500 | $3,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200K | $200,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 net profit | $203,000 | $500 | $2,500 |
Your drawdown stops moving once you have earned it back. The floor trails your closed daily profit dollar-for-dollar, and once your lifetime net profit matches your starting drawdown it locks permanently at your starting balance. From that point the account cannot fail below breakeven.
A 40% consistency rule applies while Sim Funded, and payouts become available every three trading days once your balance is above the threshold in the table above.
How the consistency rule works
The consistency rule keeps your biggest day in proportion to the rest of your trading. We compare your largest single profitable day against the sum of your profitable days. Losing days are left out of the calculation entirely — many firms divide by your net profit instead, which shrinks the number you are measured against and makes the rule harder to satisfy.
Here is a week counted both ways. Say you made $1,400 on Monday, $900 on Tuesday, lost $900 on Wednesday, then made $900 on Thursday and $400 on Friday:
- At BluSky we add up your profitable days: $1,400 + $900 + $900 + $400 = $3,600. Your biggest day of $1,400 is 38.9% of that — inside the 40% rule. ✅
- Counting net profit instead subtracts the losing day: $3,600 − $900 = $2,700. The same $1,400 day jumps to 51.9% — outside the same rule. ❌
Being out of consistency does not fail your account. It is checked when you request a payout or try to pass a phase, and you fix it by trading on — every additional profitable day grows the total you are measured against and brings your percentage down.

| Day 2 | +$1,500 (Best Day) |
| Day 3 | +$900 |

| 35% of Total profit ($3,100 × 0.35) | $1,085 |
| Best Day | $1,500 Ineligible (Above $1,085) |
Note: In Scenario B, the trader simply needs to keep trading (without increasing the current best day) until their Total Profit reaches $4,286 ($1,500 ÷ 0.35).
How to use the Dashboard to your advantage
- Remember that you can always rely on your Dashboard data
Section: How to use the Dashboard to your advantage
− - Go to your dashboard, check your payout overview, and hover over the (i) icon in the best day rule section, and you will be able to check:
1. What is the total amount of profits your account must reach.
2. How much is remaining to fulfill the best day rule.
Intentionally attempting to bypass the Best Day Rule by splitting a large winning position through hedging or partial closures is not allowed and may result in all profit from that position being consolidated into a single day.
Example: Partially closing a large winning position across multiple days. It may be viewed as an attempt to bypass the rule, especially if the profit is generated during a single-day market movement.
Example: Opening several positions on a given instrument on one day and closing them across multiple days. Such positions may be considered a single trade idea. It may be viewed as an attempt to bypass the rule, especially if the trade idea capitalizes on a single-day market movement.
Example: Immediate opening, closing and re-opening a position held across multiple days. It may be viewed as an attempt to bypass the rule because such positions are considered a single trade idea with identical market exposure.
Best day after payout
When you request a payout, your "Current Best Day" and "Current Performance" are reset. To qualify for your next payout, you must meet the consistency requirements based strictly on new profits.
Key Point:
Any profit left in the account from a previous cycle is not included in the new consistency calculation.
Example:
- Profit left in account from previous cycle: $1,000

What is E8 Zero?
Section: What is E8 Zero?
− Built for Futures traders who want minimal payout restrictions. The consistency rule is only in the challange stage, which means that traders can enjoy no consistency rules, no daily profit cap, and no minimum profit requirements in the performance stage. The only limitations are payout caps and a maximum of 5 payouts per account, but it still offers the biggest freedom of any E8 program.
E8 Zero comes in 2 versions - E8 Zero Starter and E8 Zero Max. Both versions have identical rules; the only difference is that the starter version is cheaper with smaller payout caps, and Zero Max has a slightly higher price but offers bigger payout caps.
SimFi™ Challenge rules
Profit Target – Closed profit in your simulated trading account.
$25,000 - $1,500
$50,000 - $3,000
$100,000 - $6,500
$150,000 - $9,000
$200,000 - $13,500
No minimum Trading days.
Unlimited Trading Days – There is no time limit, but you need to place and close at least one trade every 7 days.
40% Best Day rule - With a 40% best-day rule, you must ensure that no single trading day exceeds more than 40% of your total generated profits.
The earliest you can pass phase-1 on E8 Zero is 3 days from the start of your trading period. This is not a separate waiting rule - it is simply how the Best Day Rule works in practice, as 3 days is the fastest the math can work in your favour.

Before
− Available for: E8 Signature (Classic Markets / Futures)
EOD Dynamic Drawdown refers to the calculation based on your highest achieved balance at the end of the trading day.
Quick Explanation (Read this first)
- Your Loss Level rises (at the EOD) only when you close a profit, NOT when your equity increases.
- Translation: We count what you keep, not what you almost had.
- Once your account reaches a closed profit in the amount of EOD Dynamic Drawdown or you request your first payout, the Drawdown locks on the initial balance level, becomes fully static, and won't move further anymore (this does not apply in the challenge of E8 Zero).
Note: It updates at the end of the day (not tick‑by‑tick), so intraday swings can breathe.
Definitions you need to know
Loss Level: Limit above which you must stay.
The system always takes the highest End-of-the-day balance you have achieved and sets your Loss level based on that number.

− At this moment, do not provide bonuses by refunding the fee with the first payout share.
A refund of the initial fee is possible if:
- You are on phase 1 of your challenge, and there is no trading activity on the account you have purchased
- The account is not older than 30 days from the date of initial purchase
If you begin trading on your challenge, on one of our offered models, you are no longer eligible to request a refund.
How to receive a refund
You can request your refund by contacting our support at
All refunds are issued through the original payment method. This process usually takes 2-5 business days for the funds to arrive in your bank account.

- You have to achieve profitable days between each payout cycle. After requesting a payout, your previously achieved profitable days will reset to 0.

Payout buffer - Before you can start requesting payout, you need to leave a buffer in your account in the same size as your EOD Dynamic Drawdown. The buffer can not be requested. The reason for this is to protect trades from violating EOD by requesting full profit from the account.
If your EOD is 3% and your initial balance $100,000, the buffer is $3000.
Payout caps - Payout caps determine the maximum you can request in a single payout.

What the page said before and after
Before
SimFi™ Challenge accounts (Phase 1):
- All products - UNLIMITED
There is an unlimited allocation for accounts in phase 1
Maximum allocation for SimFI™ Performance accounts:
- Max for E8 One = $500,000 allocation per market
- Max for E8 Pro = $500,000 allocation per market
- E8 Zero = 3 performance accounts
- E8 Signatures Classic Markets = 5 performance accounts
− - E8 Signatures Futures = 5 performance accounts with $50,000 size, or 3 performance accounts with size of $150,000 or $100,000
− This means that in the Simfi™ Performance accounts, you can manage up to $4,100,000 in Simulated capital at the same time!
Note: These allocation limits apply per household. Multiple users within the same residence/same IP must not exceed this collective maximum.
Examples:
During the Challenge stage, there are no limits on how many accounts you can purchase. For example, you could buy a $400,000 E8 One account, a $100,000 E8 One account, and a $200,000 E8 One account.
If you pass all of them, since the maximum allocation limit on the Performance stage for E8 One is $500,000, you will be able to trade only with a $400,000 and a $100,000 account. The other $200,000 account will be kept as a reserve until your allocation on the Performance stage drops below the limit.
Similarly, for Signature models, you can purchase as many Challenge accounts as you like, regardless of account size. Note that you can only actively manage 5 performance accounts for each market in the Performance stage at any given time; any additional accounts will be kept in reserve.
Single User (E8X) Profile policy
Users are only allowed to have a single user profile, so all purchases of our challenges must be made through one registered user profile. All accounts must be traded solely by their respective owners.
Creating multiple user profiles under different emails or trading accounts from different users is a violation of our terms and conditions and may lead to the temporary or permanent suspension of your active accounts and user profile.
If you have unintentionally created an additional profile, please reach out to our support team at and we will assist in deleting the extra profile promptly.

You might have already noticed that each symbol comes with a number and a letter in its name. The first two letters, "NQ," indicates name of the instrument (E-mini NASDAQ100), while the third letter indicates the contract month, and the number indicates the year.
- The key difference between each symbol is the specific date at which each contract expires and settles.
- The contract closest to expiration has the highest trading volume and liquidity.
- Pricing can differ between contracts.
Which one is the correct Month Contract that I must trade?

Make sure you are always trading the Front Month Contract, which is the one with the highest Volume. We are not responsible if you fail account due to trading the wrong contract month. Trading in the incorrect Month Contract may also result in termination of your account or deduction of profit made from trades on the incorrect contract.

The change in place, line by line
Before
Payout caps and buffers are part of the payout requirements on the performance stage of E8 Signature.
Payout buffer:
Before you can start requesting a payout, you need to leave a buffer in your account of the same size as your EOD Dynamic Drawdown. The buffer is in place to protect traders from violating EOD by requesting full profit from the account, and no matter how many payouts you request, the buffer will always stay there.
− Payout caps:
Payout caps determine the maximum you can request in a single payout.

What the page said before and after
Before
SimFi™ Challenge accounts (Phase 1):
- All products - UNLIMITED
− There is unlimited allocation for accounts in phase 1
Maximum allocation for SimFI™ Performance accounts:
- Max for E8 One = $500,000 allocation per market
- Max for E8 Pro = $500,000 allocation per market
- E8 Zero = 3 performance accounts
− - E8 Signatures= 5 performance accounts per each market
This means that in the Simfi™ Performance accounts, you can manage up to $4,100,000 in Simulated capital at the same time!
Note: These allocation limits apply per household. Multiple users within the same residence/same IP must not exceed this collective maximum.
Examples:
During the Challenge stage, there are no limits on how many accounts you can purchase. For example, you could buy a $400,000 E8 One account, a $100,000 E8 One account, and a $200,000 E8 One account.
If you pass all of them, since the maximum allocation limit on the Performance stage for E8 One is $500,000, you will be able to trade only with a $400,000 and a $100,000 account. The other $200,000 account will be kept as a reserve until your allocation on the Performance stage drops below the limit.
Similarly, for Signature models, you can purchase as many Challenge accounts as you like, regardless of account size. Note that you can only actively manage 5 performance accounts for each market in the Performance stage at any given time; any additional accounts will be kept in reserve.
Single User (E8X) Profile policy
Users are only allowed to have a single user profile, so all purchases of our challenges must be made through one registered user profile. All accounts must be traded solely by their respective owners.
Creating multiple user profiles under different emails or trading accounts from different users is a violation of our terms and conditions and may lead to the temporary or permanent suspension of your active accounts and user profile.
If you have unintentionally created an additional profile, please reach out to our support team at and we will assist in deleting the extra profile promptly.

SimFi™ Challenge accounts (Phase 1):
- All products - UNLIMITED
+ There is an unlimited allocation for accounts in phase 1
Maximum allocation for SimFI™ Performance accounts:
- Max for E8 One = $500,000 allocation per market
- Max for E8 Pro = $500,000 allocation per market
- E8 Zero = 3 performance accounts
+ - E8 Signatures Classic Markets = 5 performance accounts
+ - E8 Signatures Futures = 5 performance accounts with $50,000 size, or 3 performance accounts with size of $150,000 or $100,000
This means that in the Simfi™ Performance accounts, you can manage up to $4,100,000 in Simulated capital at the same time!
Note: These allocation limits apply per household. Multiple users within the same residence/same IP must not exceed this collective maximum.
Examples:
During the Challenge stage, there are no limits on how many accounts you can purchase. For example, you could buy a $400,000 E8 One account, a $100,000 E8 One account, and a $200,000 E8 One account.
If you pass all of them, since the maximum allocation limit on the Performance stage for E8 One is $500,000, you will be able to trade only with a $400,000 and a $100,000 account. The other $200,000 account will be kept as a reserve until your allocation on the Performance stage drops below the limit.
Similarly, for Signature models, you can purchase as many Challenge accounts as you like, regardless of account size. Note that you can only actively manage 5 performance accounts for each market in the Performance stage at any given time; any additional accounts will be kept in reserve.

PremierE8 Markets · What is Payout On Demand? | E8 Markets Help Center FuturesE8 One added as eligible product for Payout On Demand; on-demand rules section header simplified and scope clarified to E8 Signature only.Sep 23
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
Most platforms make you wait. Payout On Demand does not.
− Once you reach the SimFi Performance Account stage on E8 Signature and meet the eligibility conditions, you can request a payout at any time - no fixed schedule, no unnecessary waiting.
Payout On Demand was introduced to reward the right trading behaviours:
- Consistent performance over time
- Disciplined risk management
- Clean, verifiable performance data
How it works:
To take advantage of the Payout On Demand feature, you must satisfy a few rules (which vary depending on the product you have chosen).
On demand for For the E8 One:
- 40% Best Day rule: With a 40% best-day rule, you must ensure that no single trading day exceeds more than 40% of your total generated profits.
- Your net profit (payout) must be greater than 50% of your daily drawdown.
Example: If you have a $100,000 account and your daily drawdown is 4%, the minimum amount required for a payout is $2,000.01
The earliest first payout (E8 One) can be requested is 3 days from the start of your trading period in the performance stage. This is not a separate waiting rule - it is simply how the Best Day Rule works in practice, as 3 days is the fastest the math can work in your favour.
On-demand does not apply to E8 Pro and E8 Zero models, as these products have daily payouts. With E8 Pro, the minimum is 1%, and with E8 Zero, it's $100.
Section: On-demand rules for the E8 Signature:
− On demand rules For the E8 Signature Forex, E8 Signature Futures:
35% Best Day rule: With a 35% best-day rule, you must ensure that no single trading day exceeds more than 35% of your total generated profits.
Minimum payout is $100.
Amounts are taken from your net profit. Meaning, with 80% payout, you need to request at least $125.
Minimum profitable days between each payout: 5 (does not apply for first payout)
- A profitable day is considered as a day where the realized closed PnL equals to 0.3% or more.
- You also have to achieve profitable days between each payout cycle. After requesting a payout, your previously achieved profitable trading days will reset to 0.
Payout buffer: Before you can start requesting payout, you need to leave a buffer in your account in the same size as your EOD Dynamic Drawdown.The buffer can not be requested. The reason for this is to protect trades from violating EOD by requesting full profit from the account.
If your EOD is 4% and your initial balance $100,000, the buffer is $4000.
Payout caps -Payout caps determine how much you can request in a single payout.
| Account size | $25,000 | $50,000 | $100,000 | $150,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Payout | $1,000 | $1,250 | $2,250 | $3,250 |

Most platforms make you wait. Payout On Demand does not.
+ Once you reach the SimFi Performance Account stage on E8 One or E8 Signature and meet the eligibility conditions, you can request a payout at any time - no fixed schedule, no unnecessary waiting.
Payout On Demand was introduced to reward the right trading behaviours:
- Consistent performance over time
- Disciplined risk management
- Clean, verifiable performance data
How it works:
To take advantage of the Payout On Demand feature, you must satisfy a few rules (which vary depending on the product you have chosen).
On demand for For the E8 One:
- 40% Best Day rule: With a 40% best-day rule, you must ensure that no single trading day exceeds more than 40% of your total generated profits.
- Your net profit (payout) must be greater than 50% of your daily drawdown.
Example: If you have a $100,000 account and your daily drawdown is 4%, the minimum amount required for a payout is $2,000.01
The earliest first payout (E8 One) can be requested is 3 days from the start of your trading period in the performance stage. This is not a separate waiting rule - it is simply how the Best Day Rule works in practice, as 3 days is the fastest the math can work in your favour.
On-demand does not apply to E8 Pro and E8 Zero models, as these products have daily payouts. With E8 Pro, the minimum is 1%, and with E8 Zero, it's $100.

+ On-demand rules for the E8 Signature:
35% Best Day rule: With a 35% best-day rule, you must ensure that no single trading day exceeds more than 35% of your total generated profits.
Minimum payout is $100.
Amounts are taken from your net profit. Meaning, with 80% payout, you need to request at least $125.
Minimum profitable days between each payout: 5 (does not apply for first payout)
- A profitable day is considered as a day where the realized closed PnL equals to 0.3% or more.
- You also have to achieve profitable days between each payout cycle. After requesting a payout, your previously achieved profitable trading days will reset to 0.
Payout buffer: Before you can start requesting payout, you need to leave a buffer in your account in the same size as your EOD Dynamic Drawdown.The buffer can not be requested. The reason for this is to protect trades from violating EOD by requesting full profit from the account.
If your EOD is 4% and your initial balance $100,000, the buffer is $4000.

- Translation: We count what you keep, not what you almost had.

Note: It updates at the end of the day (not tick‑by‑tick), so intraday swings can breathe.

− Available on SimFi™ Performance stage (only) for: E8 Signature Forex, E8 Signature Crypto, E8 Signature Futures
Daily Pause is a protective feature that safeguards your trading account.
Why it exists (your upside): A single impulsive session shouldn’t erase a great week. The Day Seatbelt caps intraday damage so you can stay consistent, keep EOD intact, and qualify for payouts with confidence.
Quick Explanation (Read this first)
- We take 2% of your initial Balance and convert it to a fixed $
- Every new day, we set your pause line = Balance of the new day − that fixed $.
- If equity or balance falls below that line, we pause trading until 00:00 (server time)
- Daily Pause is not a hard breach; you can still continue trading the next day
- Important: Closing all positions isn’t instant at the exact limit. Use stop-losses—we don’t rebalance if it takes you past −2%.
Numbers in context
A) $100,000 Initial Balance (Fixed $ = $2,000)
| Day | Starting balance | Loss Level | Results (if you exceed the limit) |

The change in place, line by line
Before
All of our currently offered products are Single-Phase challenge models, but they’re built for different trader types.
− E8 Zero is the most flexible option, built for Futures traders who want minimal payout restrictions. The consistency rule is only in the challange stage, which means that traders can enjoy no consistency rules, no daily profit cap, and no minimum profitable days requirements in the performance stage. The only limitations are payout caps and a maximum of 5 payouts per account, but it still offers the biggest freedom of any E8 program.
− E8 One is designed for experienced traders comfortable with tighter Drawdowns and higher upside potential. There are no payout caps, but a Daily Drawdown (hard breach) and a Dynamic Drawdown apply. Available on Forex and Crypto.
− E8 Signature is the more structured and cheaper version than the E8 one. It includes payout caps and a Daily Pause (soft breach) on SimFi Performance Accounts, giving traders better protection before a full breach occurs. Available across Forex, Crypto, and Futures – it suits traders who focus on consistency and want more forgiving drawdowns.
− E8 Pro is built for traders who prioritize daily payouts. With no payout caps and a static drawdown, it offers a predictable, structured environment where you always know exactly where your limits stand. Available on Forex and Crypto.

What the page said before and after
Before
- 11 hours from Payout request to approval by our team (you can start trading after approval)
- 24 hours from payout request to funds arriving in your Rise or Workmarket account
This means that:
- 50% of all payouts are approved within 11 hours
- Payments for 50% of all payouts are received by users within 24 hours
What is important to know is that these are median times. The overall process can also take up to 5 business days sometimes, and the length of the process may depend on various factors such as:
- Day of request (During the weekend, payouts are not being processed)
- Onboarding time of the user (Make sure that everything is done on your side within your Rise/Workmarket account)
- individual characteristics (Rise/Workmarket may request additional information)
Full Process for Payout Request:
- After your request a payout, we will send you an invitation link for WorkMarket / Riseworks.io
- When you receive an invitation, you need to sign and fill out the necessary documents like PSA agreements, fill out Tax information, and you might be required to provide additional KYC information like proof of address.
Section: How fast?
− - After everything is processed and approved by our partners, we will send the payment to your Rise/Workmarket account.
What if my Rise/Workmarket accounts are already verified?
- If this is your first payout and you already have a Rise/WorkMarket account, simply follow the steps via the onboarding link to connect your account on Rise/WorkMarket that we will send trough an email.
- If you have already received a payout with us before, you can skip the previous steps and simply wait for the payment that will arrive in your Rise/Workmarket account.
Aeropay process:
- During your first payout request with Aeropay, you will have to complete phone verification and link your bank account.
- After that, you need to complete the W-8/W-9 tax Form (the button for that will appear within the specific account dashboard on which you request a payout).
- Once all of those steps are completed, we will process your approval and send the payment to your bank account.
- If you have already received a payout from us using this payment method, you can skip these steps and simply wait for the payment to arrive in your bank account.
The length of time it takes to receive money from the Rise / Workmarket account depends on the payment method you choose. Crypto payments through Rise will be faster than Wire Transfer from Workmarket, for example.
Do I need to leave Buffer in the account when requesting a payout?
Since the payout amount you are requesting is being deducted from the Performance account, in certain situations and products, it is crucial to leave a buffer; otherwise, your Dynamic/EOD/Static drawdowns might be negatively affected.
E8 One - Yes, in specific situations, it is better to leave a buffer in the account. There is a dedicated article explaining the whole process. Article.

Users are only allowed to have a single user profile, so all purchases of our Challenges must be made through one registered user profile. All accounts must be traded solely by their respective owners.
Creating multiple user profiles under different emails or trading accounts from different users is a violation of our terms and conditions and may lead to the temporary or permanent suspension of your active accounts and user profile.
If you have unintentionally created an additional profile, please reach out to our support team at and we will assist in deleting the extra profile promptly.

Right now is the best time to join the Friends Program, as you can receive $5 right away for setting up your public name.
The Friends Program is designed to reward our community for growing the E8 network. Through this program, you can connect with fellow traders and share your trading performance while becoming eligible for a $50 credit bonus for every friend you invite.
You can also invite friends who are already registered and have purchased an account. You won't receive a credit for them, but you can see their payouts, number of active accounts, and much more.
How to receive a $50 bonus?
For every friend you refer to E8 Markets, you can receive a $50 credit that is usable for your challenge purchases. Before you receive this bonus, you and your friend must meet certain conditions, such as:
- You must be verified to send invitations and participate in the program.
- Your friend must be a new user with no previous purchase history on our platform.
- Your friend must purchase and begin trading on an account with a paid value of at least $50.
If your friend uses an affiliate or company discount code (such as E8), the final amount paid for the order must be greater than $50.
How to redeem your collected credit?
Any credits you have collected are automatically deducted from the total price of the Challenge at checkout.

To be up to date with our current ongoing discount codes and promotions, we highly recommend that you follow us on social media platforms like Platform X or our Instagram.
If you are not part of our Discord community, join now! Every week, you can participate in events where you can obtain special discount codes or a free challenge.
You can always rely on our all-around discount code "E8" which is always available, but if you are looking for all or better offers, please follow our current promotion offer on this website.
How to redeem a discount code?
When you are at the checkout page in your dashboard, in the last step of the payment, you can find a field for a discount code. After you validate, the system will confirm that the code is working and also show the amount and the final price
Why is my discount code not working?
Discount codes can be obtained from our websites, our affiliates, and also from giveaways. Want to make sure your code is working properly, or you want to double-check the offer? Just click Validate at the final stage of your purchase. If there's an issue with the code, we will let you know right away.
Troubleshooting issues with discount codes:
- Birthday code: If you have received a birthday code from us, you need to redeem it within 14 days. After this period, the code is disabled.
Section: Why is my discount code not working?
− - Wrong account setup/conditions: You might have received a code that is usable only for certain product types or under specific conditions. Maybe it's only for E8 Signature $50,000 Futures accounts, or for E8 One accounts under $100,000 simulated capital. Always make sure the setup is correct.
- First purchase offers: If you receive a smaller discount than expected on a first-purchase promotion, you may have already redeemed the offer on a prior order, or the discount code is currently held by an open, unpaid order in your account. To claim the correct first-purchase discount, cancel any pending or unpaid orders in your dashboard. Once canceled, if you have no completed purchases during this promotional period, you can re-apply the code to your selected product.
