How E8 Funding drawdown works

E8 Funding runs a static (fixed) maximum drawdown — the loss limit is measured from your starting balance and does not move as you profit, which is the most forgiving type to manage. Getting the drawdown maths wrong is one of the most common reasons traders fail an evaluation, so it pays to know exactly how yours is measured before you start.

What it takes to pass

To clear E8 Funding you need to respect a daily loss limit of 5% of your account, stay within the 8% maximum drawdown, satisfy a consistency rule of about 40% — no single day may account for more than that share of your total profit, and complete no minimum trading-day requirement. Most failed challenges come down to one or two of these rules — usually the drawdown type and the consistency requirement — rather than a lack of profitability.
