  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.
- At this moment, you can use the "E8" code to get up to 35% off, depending on the product.
  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
· · ·
  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.
- - Wrong account setup/conditions: You might have received a code that is usable only for certain product types or under specific conditions. Mayme its 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.
+ - Wrong account setup/conditions: You might have received a code that is usable only for certain product types or under specific conditions. Maybe it's only for E8 Signature $50,000 Futures accounts, or for E8 One accounts under $100,000 simulated capital. Always make sure the setup is correct.
+ - First purchase offers: If you receive a smaller discount than expected on a first-purchase promotion, you may have already redeemed the offer on a prior order, or the discount code is currently held by an open, unpaid order in your account. To claim the correct first-purchase discount, cancel any pending or unpaid orders in your dashboard. Once canceled, if you have no completed purchases during this promotional period, you can re-apply the code to your selected product.

  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).
- 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.
· · ·
  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.

  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.
- Compliance with CME Group Rules: All trading activities must adhere to CME Group's rules and regulations.
+ Not being compliant 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.

  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.
