Daily loss: the rule that kills the most accounts
E8 Markets lets you lose up to 4% in a single day. If your equity (floating included) touches that floor, the account is gone — even if it recovers afterwards. It's the limit that quietly blows up the most accounts, because one big trade or a bad-day streak is enough.
Maximum drawdown (8% static)
E8 Markets's total loss cap is 8%. Being static, the floor doesn't rise when you win: it's always measured against the initial balance. That's good — it gives you room as you grow.
Consistency
On E8 Markets's flagship program, consistency does not block the evaluation. Sin consistency en evaluación. 40% best-day SÍ aplica en E8 Trader (fondeado).
