Minimum profit for first and additional payouts: 1% of your initial balance
With a $100,000 account balance, you need to make at least $1,000.

FAQ For E8 PRO
FAQ For E8 PRO
Does E8 Pro have daily payouts?
Payouts are available daily, with a minimum profit requirement of 1% - making it easy to request payouts regularly. The built-in 50% buffer mechanism ensures that requesting a payout will never put your account at risk of a drawdown violation, as half of your profits always remain in the account as protection.
Is there a consistency rule or minimum trading days?
No consistency rule or minimum profitable days. E8PRO v2 keeps the rules deliberately simple: hit the profit target, respect the static and daily drawdown, and request a payout any day once your profit reaches at least 1%.
If there is no consistency rule, can I request 50% of everything I make in one day?
Not quite. There is still a daily profit cap. For example, even if you make $15,000 on a $100,000 account in a single day, you won't be able to request 50% of that total. With a 2% daily cap, only $2,000 counts toward your profit, and the rest is forfeited at market rollover.
Can you pass the E8 Pro challenge in one day?
No - due to the daily profit cap, it is not possible, and the possible minimum is 4 days. However, you can enjoy freedom in the Performance stage without any consistency.
