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.

PremierBluSky · Orbit Plans: Two Phases, Faster Payouts | BluSky Rules and Help CenterValues changed: $99 to $129, $109 to $199.Oct 15

The change in place, line by line
Before
| 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.

PremierE8 Markets · What is Payout On Demand? | E8 Markets Help Center FuturesE8 One Crypto removed from Payout On Demand feature; E8 Signature Crypto removed from on-demand rules.Sep 11
▸ 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).
Section: On demand for For the E8 One:
− On demand for For the E8 One & E8 One Crypto:
- 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 Forex, E8 Signature Futures:
− On demand rules For the E8 Signature Forex, E8 Signature Crypto, 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 |

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.

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.

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.

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:

What the page said before and after
Before
When?
Payouts can be requested only in the SimFi™ Performance stage. Generally, there is no fixed schedule, no unnecessary waiting, with our programs, you can request daily or anytime, as long as all on-demand requirements, such as Best day, are fulfilled.
Full on-demand rules can be found here: E8 one, E8 Crypto, E8 Signature
With on-demand rules on products such as E8 One or E8 Signature, the earliest first payout 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.
Who?
At this moment, payouts are processed through our third-party providers, such as:
- WorkMarket - this option provides fast bank transfers to your account.
- Rise - With Rise, you have the quickest and most flexible solution for onboarding and making global payments in either cash or cryptocurrency, all accessible from a single platform.
Section: Who?
To receive the payout, you need to be allowed to onboard by WorkMarket or Riseworks
- WorkMarket supported countries
- Rise unsupported countries and unsupported States or Territories in the USA
If you can't undergo WorkMarket and Riseworks KYC, we cannot provide you with a payout payment. There are no direct crypto payment solutions, and all payouts can be processed only through our partners.
We don’t charge any commissions or fees for payouts, but the processor of the payouts may charge depending on the option you are using.
How?
Payouts can be requested within the SimFi performance stage directly from the dashboard, as you can see below.
Once you are eligible for a payout, the request payout button will light up. If you are unable to click on it, it is most likely due to not fulfilling all your requirements. For such an unfinished objective, you will see the status as "pending" in the Payout overview within your dashboard.
Please note that the minimum payout that you can request with every product type is $100.
Amounts are taken from your payout %. Meaning, with 80% payout, you need to request at least $125.
Canceling payout
Made a mistake on your payout request? As long as our team has not yet confirmed it or sent you an invitation to Rise/WorkMarket, you can cancel the request and resubmit with the correct amount and provider.
How fast?
Let's take a look at our two main median payout stats (January 1 – May 1, 2026):
- 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:
Section: How fast?
− - After your request 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.
- 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 into your Rise/Workmarket 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.
E8 Pro - Thanks to the built-in payout mechanism on these accounts, there is no need to leave a buffer, and you can always request as much as the account allows you.
Note: Daily Drawdown or Daily Pause is never affected by payout requests. Once the payout is requested, those limits are calculated from your new balance.

PremierE8 Markets · All product overviews (E8 One vs E8 Zero vs E8 Pro vs E8 Signature) | E8 Markets Help Center FuturesE8 One and E8 Signature now offer Perpetual Futures instead of Crypto; E8 Pro now offers Futures instead of Crypto.Sep 1
▸ View exact changes
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.

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.

▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
Before
- WorkMarket - this option provides fast bank transfers to your account.
- Rise - With Rise, you have the quickest and most flexible solution for onboarding and making global payments in either cash or cryptocurrency, all accessible from a single platform.
To receive the payout, you need to be allowed to onboard by WorkMarket or Riseworks
- WorkMarket supported countries
- Rise unsupported countries and unsupported States or Territories in the USA
If you can't undergo WorkMarket and Riseworks KYC, we cannot provide you with a payout payment. There are no direct crypto payment solutions, and all payouts can be processed only through our partners.
We don’t charge any commissions or fees for payouts, but the processor of the payouts may charge depending on the option you are using.
How?
Payouts can be requested within the SimFi performance stage directly from the dashboard, as you can see below.
Once you are eligible for a payout, the request payout button will light up. If you are unable to click on it, it is most likely due to not fulfilling all your requirements. For such an unfinished objective, you will see the status as "pending" in the Payout overview within your dashboard.
Please note that the minimum payout that you can request with every product type is $100.
Amounts are taken from your payout %. Meaning, with 80% payout, you need to request at least $125.
Section: Canceling payout
How fast?
Let's take a look at our two main median payout stats (January 1 – May 1, 2026):
- 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)

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).
Section: On demand for For the E8 One & E8 One Crypto:
− For the E8 One & E8 One Crypto:
- 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 Forex, E8 Signature Crypto, E8 Signature Futures:
− For the E8 Signature Forex, E8 Signature Crypto, 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.

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).
Section: On demand for For the E8 One & E8 One Crypto:
+ On demand for For the E8 One & E8 One Crypto:
- 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.

Before
The basic calculation is as follows: Allowed margin / Margin per contract = size of the position
Example of how much you can open:
Example1: If the account has a 12 Contracts allowance, the allowed margin is $120,000
- If the Margin per 1 contract is $10,000, the size you can open is 12 (For example E-mini S&P 500)
- If the Margin per 1 contract is $1,000, the size you can open is 120 ( For example Micro E-mini S&P)
- If the Margin per 1 contract is $2,000, the size you can open is 60 ( For example Silver)
Example2: If the account has a 8 Contracts allowance, the allowed margin is $80,000
- If the Margin per 1 contract is $10,000, the size you can open is 8 (For example Euro FX)
- If the Margin per 1 contract is $1,000, the size you can open is 80 (For example Micro Crude Oil)
- If the Margin per 1 contract is $2,000, the size you can open is 40 ( For example Silver)

How to use the Dashboard to your advantage
- Remember that you can always rely on your Dashboard data
- 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
- New profit: $1,000
Section: How to use the Dashboard to your advantage
− - Consistency Check: The 40% rule is applied only to the new $1,000 made this cycle, not the $2,000 total balance (current performance+ left "buffer" from previous payout/s).

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
- New profit: $1,000
Section: How to use the Dashboard to your advantage
+ - Consistency Check: The 35% rule is applied only to the new $1,000 made this cycle, not the $2,000 total balance (current performance+ left "buffer" from previous payout/s).

The change in place, line by line
Before
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%.

| 3 | $49,000 | $48,000 | Trading paused to 00:00 |
Note: The fixed $ never changes during the account’s life; only the starting balance of the day changes the pause line.
− Coach Play: Plan your SL above the pause line. If your fixed $ is $2,000, cap your trades at $1,600–$1,800 so normal slippage won’t exceed your planned limit.
How to use the Dashboard to your advantage
- Remember that you can always rely on your Dashboard data
- Go to your dashboard, check your account loss analysis of the account, and follow your Loss Levels.
If your account equity or balance reaches or falls below the loss level, your account will be temporarily paused until the next trading day (00:00 Server time).
When you reach the 2% daily pause limit, it takes some time before all positions are closed after the violation. It is not instant, so we advise using SL on each trade to avoid losing more than 2%.
If you don't use a Stop-Loss at the 2% limit, or if you risk more and due to the delay your positions close at a loss greater than 2%, we bear no risk and you are not entitled to any rebalance.

What the page said before and after
Before
Since we believe that traders achieve the best results when they are not excessively restricted, E8 Markets only prohibits strategies that exploit imperfections of the simulated market and would not be successful in the long term on a real market.
List of Prohibited Practices (Futures)
Any strategies that exploit imperfections of the simulated market, such as Gapped, Illiquid Market Trading, or taking advantage of slow data feeds.
Any strategies that create or exploit errors in the services, such as errors in the display of prices, delays in their updates.
Semi-Automated or Fully-Automated Trading, such as trading bots, AI tools, HFT trading (more than 300 trades per day), etc.
Holding a position within 2% of a product's lock limit.
Performing trades in conflict with the terms and conditions of E8 Markets.
Irresponsible Trading and All-or-Nothing Trading: Executing large-volume trades without a coherent strategy or disregarding fundamental market analysis and risk management practices is considered an abuse of the simulated environment.
Hedging across multiple users or accounts, even those belonging to the same trader, is strictly prohibited. Hedging, which involves opening opposing positions on the same asset, undermines fair trading and disrupts the integrity of the SimFi Environment.
Section: List of Prohibited Practices (Futures)
− Compliance with CME Group Rules: All trading activities must adhere to CME Group's rules and regulations.
Tick Scalping - A minimum of 50% of all profits must come from trades with a holding period of no less than 10 seconds.
All trading strategies must be demonstrably replicable under both simulated and real market conditions. Any attempt to exploit the nature of a simulated environment will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to, reliance on micro-scalping during illiquid market hours, trading illiquid instruments, excessive or disproportionate risk-taking, account rolling, or any behavior that would not reasonably translate to real market execution.
If our risk team determines that your trading activity does not adhere to these principles or lacks real-market viability, we reserve the right to terminate your account(s) without further notice.
All users are required to always trade the Front Month Contract on every instrument. Front Month Contract is described as the contract with the highest Volume (liquidity). For more information about contracts and how to spot a Front Month Contract, please use this guide.
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.
SimFi™ Challenge & Performance Account Management
Account Completion & Independence:
Each SimFi Challenge and Performance Account must be traded independently. Cooperation with other traders - in any form - is not permitted.
Copy trading across your own accounts is allowed, including across SimFi Challenge Accounts, SimFi Performance Accounts, or any personal accounts, as long as all accounts belong to you and you alone.
Account Management & Capital Allocation:
Every account must be managed individually by the account holder. Users must comply with the maximum capital allocation limit for each product. For details on how many accounts you can hold at once, see this article.

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.

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
GIBSS promo has officially ended and is available only for users who purchased an account with code "GIBBS" before the 20.04.2026 and keep the promo active by purchasing at least one account every 30 days with the discount code "GIBBS".
In his early 20s, before Thomas Gibbs became a record payout holder at E8, he was sitting in grief, pressure, doubt, and the weight of his own habits. After losing a close friend to leukemia, he quit his job prematurely to pursue trading, only to end up working construction and accounting just to survive. He was stuck in a "Survival Season," caught between the life he had and the one he knew he could build.
Read the Full Story, Interviews, and Journey of Tom Gibbs Here
The shift happened when Tom stopped hunting "magic" strategies and started mastering himself. By limiting his focus to five pairs and one trade per day, he turned a humble $414.95 proof-of-concept into a $116,000 payout, eventually hitting his record $216,053.13. It wasn't the market that changed - it was his discipline.
Tom isn't a "get-rich-quick" story. He is a lesson in pure persistence. After six years of being battered by the markets, he proved that professional results require professional habits. Whether you are in your own "Survival Season" or starting to see things click, Tom’s journey shows exactly what it takes to reach the top.

Before
At this moment, payouts are processed through our third-party providers, such as:
- WorkMarket - this option provides fast bank transfers to your account.
- Rise - With Rise, you have the quickest and most flexible solution for onboarding and making global payments in either cash or cryptocurrency, all accessible from a single platform.
To receive the payout, you need to be allowed to onboard by WorkMarket or Riseworks
- WorkMarket supported countries
- Rise unsupported countries and unsupported States or Territories in the USA
If you can't undergo WorkMarket and Riseworks KYC, we cannot provide you with a payout payment. There are no direct crypto payment solutions, and all payouts can be processed only through our partners.
We don’t charge any commissions or fees for payouts, but the processor of the payouts may charge depending on the option you are using.
How?
Payouts can be requested within the SimFi performance stage directly from the dashboard, as you can see below.
Once you are eligible for a payout, the request payout button will light up. If you are unable to click on it, it is most likely due to not fulfilling all your requirements. For such an unfinished objective, you will see the status as "pending" in the Payout overview within your dashboard.
Please note that the minimum payout that you can request with every product type is $100.
Section: How?
− Amounts are taken from your payout %. Meaning, with 80% payout share, you need to request at least $125.
How fast?
Let's take a look at our two main median payout stats (January 1 – May 1, 2026):
- 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)
Section: How fast?
− - Onboarding time of the user (Make sure that everything is done on your side)
- individual characteristics (Rise/Workmarket may request additional information)
Full Process for Payout Request:
- After your request 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.
- 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
− - If you have already received a payout with us before, you can skip the previous steps and simply wait for the payment
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.
Section: Do I need to leave Buffer in the account when requesting a payout?
− Do I need to leave Buffer when requesting a payout?
− Since the profit you are requesting is being deducted from the account, in certain situations and products, it is crucial to leave a buffer; otherwise, your Dynamic/EOD/Static drawdowns might be 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.
E8 Pro - Thanks to the built-in payout mechanism on these accounts, there is no need to leave a buffer, and you can always request as much as the account allows you.
Note: Daily Drawdown or Daily Pause is never affected by payout requests. Once the payout is requested, those limits are calculated from your new balance.

- 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)
Section: How fast?
+ - 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 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.
- 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 into your Rise/Workmarket 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.

How?
Payouts can be requested within the SimFi performance stage directly from the dashboard, as you can see below.
Once you are eligible for a payout, the request payout button will light up. If you are unable to click on it, it is most likely due to not fulfilling all your requirements. For such an unfinished objective, you will see the status as "pending" in the Payout overview within your dashboard.
Please note that the minimum payout that you can request with every product type is $100.
