Payout caps and buffers for E8 Signature explained

Updated this week

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 Trailing Drawdown. The buffer is in place to protect traders from violating EOD by requesting full profit from the account.
​

Payout caps:

Payout caps determine the maximum you can request in a single payout.
​
