− 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.
If you have chosen the cryptocurrency payment option, we are unfortunately unable to process a refund, even though you did not place any trades on your account. The reason is strict AML (Anti-Money Laundering) security measures. To avoid legal issues, we had to stop processing crypto refunds at this time.
Also, it is important to note that there is no maximum number of trading days or time limit; however, after 60 days of inactivity, the account is disabled and there is no entitlement to a refund.
To avoid this deactivation, you need to place and close at least one trade in this period. This applies also to newly purchased accounts on which you did not place any trade.
Chargebacks/Disputes
A dispute occurs when a user requests a reversal of a payment with their financial institution.
Please note that any form of dispute arising goes against our Terms & Conditions, and might result in actions such as:

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.

Payout caps - Payout caps determine the maximum you can request in a single payout.
A full explanation can be seen in this article.
Maximum amount of payouts per account: 4 (only for the Futures market)
Section: Criteria for the payout:
− This determines how many payouts you can request in total from one account.

Can I request profits left over from a previous payout cycle?
No. Each cycle's payout comes only from profits generated in that cycle. Whatever stays in the account after a request is considered a buffer — it simply remains in the account.
Section: Frequently asked questions for E8 Zero
− What happens after I request 5 payouts?
− After you request 5 payouts, no matter what amount you requested in total, the cycle is closed, the account is deactivated, and you move on with a free Challenge account of the same size.

- A profitable day is considered as a day where the realized closed PnL equals to 0.3% or more.
- 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?
To easily identify which contract is the best to trade right now, it is based on the current liquidity (Volume). In the Table below, you can find links to each instrument where you can track the volume of each month's contract.

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.
In the example below, for the Micro Bitcoin instrument, the Front Month Contract is MBTG6. This might change in the future, once the contract is heading to expiration date and the volume starts to decrease.

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.
Account size | $25,000 | $50,000 | $100,000 | $150,000
1. Payout | $1,000 | $1,250 | $2,250 | $3,250

You can see the balance requirement for each account size and payout cycle in the tables below.
Please note that the last column in the following tables represents the minimum balance needed for the maximum payout you can request for each payout cycle, and you can still request with less balance as long as you fulfill the buffer requirements and minimum payout amounts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Section: When?
− 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.
- Aeoropay - A direct bank-to-bank payout option connecting to 12,000+ U.S. banks, with same-day-or-faster settlement. Available only for U.S. clients. This process might seem easier for some clients, as the whole process is done within our E8X Dashboard and you do not need to register anywhere else.
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.

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.
Section: Quick Explanation (Read this first)
− - 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 challange 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.

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.

At E8, we have focused on building 1-Phase challenges, with each product designed differently to suit different types of traders.
Maybe you like consistency and are happy paying a standard price for standard industry metrics — then E8 One is for you.

Looking for a bigger drawdown and full customization? E8 One is the way to go.
We have designed it this way so everyone can find the product that fits them. Yes, our prices may be premium — but that is the trade-off for premium service, customization, and product variety.
After
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 challenge 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 Classic markets and perpetual futures.
+ 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 Classic Markets 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 Classic Markets and Perpetual Futures.

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.

What the page said before and after
Before
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.

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.

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.
After
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?
+ - Aeoropay - A direct bank-to-bank payout option connecting to 12,000+ U.S. banks, with same-day-or-faster settlement. Available only for U.S. clients. This process might seem easier for some clients, as the whole process is done within our E8X Dashboard and you do not need to register anywhere else.
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 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.
- 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.
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.

At E8 Markets, our mission is to offer trading opportunities to individuals worldwide. However, due to regulatory requirements and compliance standards, we are unable to accommodate traders from certain countries, as outlined below.
To maintain a secure and compliant platform, all traders must meet specific eligibility standards. This includes being of legal age to trade in their respective regions and successfully completing our Know Your Customer (KYC) process. As part of this verification, traders need to provide documentation such as government-issued identification, and any other required materials to confirm their identity in line with regulatory expectations.
Furthermore, we are required to ensure compliance with the policies of our third-party providers. For example, the trading platforms we collaborate with only accept clients from approved regions. Additionally, payment services that we use for payouts limit transactions to specific countries, which affects where we can process payouts.
Our commitment remains to provide a fair, transparent, and secure trading environment for all users. These practices are essential for adhering to regulatory standards and protecting the integrity of our platform. We regret any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

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
− - Max for E8 One Crypto = $500,000 allocation
- Max for E8 Pro Forex = $500,000 allocation
− - Max for E8 Pro Crypto = $500,000 allocation
- E8 Zero = 3 performance accounts
- E8 Signature Forex = 5 performance accounts
− - E8 Signature Crypto = 5 performance accounts
- E8 Signature Futures = 5 performance accounts
This means that in the Simfi™ Performance accounts, you can manage up to $4,850,000 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.

▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
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
- 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.
Account size | $25,000 | $50,000 | $100,000 | $150,000

- 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)

− Best Day | $1,500 Ineligible (Above $1,240)
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
- 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).

PremierE8 Markets · Daily Pause | E8 Markets Help Center FuturesColumn header "Pause line (Loss Level)" renamed to "Loss Level" in two tables, and "Coach Play" section updated to match.Aug 17
▸ View exact changes
What the page said before and after
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%.
Numbers in context
A) $100,000 Initial Balance (Fixed $ = $2,000)
Section: Numbers in context
− Day | Starting balance | Pause line (Loss Level) | Results (if you exceed the limit)
1 | $100,000 | $98,000 | Trading paused to 00:00
2 | $102,500 | $100,500 | Trading paused to 00:00
3 | $99,200 | $97,200 | Trading paused to 00:00
B) $50,000 Initial Balance (Fixed $ = $1,000)
− Day | Starting balance | Pause line (Loss Level) | Results (if you exceed the limit)
1 | $50,000 | $49,000 | Trading paused to 00:00
2 | $51,250 | $50,250 | Trading paused to 00:00
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.

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.

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.

▸ View exact changes
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.
TOM GIBBS JOURNEY
− Now you have a great opportunity to chat with "Thomas himself" through the virtual AI representation of Thomas Gibbs. The AI has been trained on Tom Gibbs' interviews, his journey from Devon, the six years of grinding, and all the lessons he learned while hitting that record payout.

What the page said before and after
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.

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.

The shift happened when Tom stopped hunting "magic" strategies and started mastering himself.
