Everything you need to clear a E8 Funding evaluation — the drawdown, daily loss, consistency and minimum-day rules — and a free way to check whether your trading is actually ready before you pay the fee.
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.
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.
Traxent bakes E8 Funding's published rules into a readiness score. Log your trades (or practise in the sim journal) and Traxent tells you, rule by rule, whether you'd currently pass — and which of at least 16 firms you track fits your style best.
