Additional Rules
Important ones traders usually miss:
EOD Dynamic Drawdown
Trails your highest end-of-day balance until it locks/static after enough profit. This is the main rule to understand before buying.
Daily Pause = soft breach
If you hit the daily limit, trading stops for the day but the account is not failed.
35% Best Day Rule
One trading day cannot exceed 35% of total profits when requesting payout.
5 profitable days required for payout
A profitable day = realized PnL of at least 0.3% of account size. Counter resets after each payout.
Payout buffer
You must leave a buffer equal to the EOD drawdown amount in the account before withdrawing profits.
Forced close time
All futures positions are force-closed daily at 15:10 CT. Trading window is roughly 17:00–15:10 CT.
News trading allowed
They explicitly allow trading during news events.
Copy trading allowed
Allowed between your own accounts/personal accounts.
Inactivity rule
7 days without trading disables the account.
Prohibited behavior rules
They have separate policies covering:
hedging abuse
all-or-nothing trading
irresponsible/risky trading patterns

Scaling Plan
E8 Signature Futures does not have a traditional scaling plan where your funded balance grows automatically over time (for example, from $50k → $100k → $200k). The account size stays fixed. If you want more allocation, E8’s model is essentially to run multiple accounts instead.
