Calculate and track your daily drawdown limits for E8 Funding evaluation and funded accounts.
E8 Funding differentiates itself with an 8% maximum drawdown (versus FTMO's 10%), making it slightly tighter on the overall risk limit but with comparable daily rules.
E8-specific considerations:
Approach E8 with conservative sizing in the early days to build a profit cushion before the max drawdown limit becomes a constraint.
Prop Firm Challenge
A paid evaluation where traders prove they can hit a profit target while respecting drawdown limits — passing earns a funded account.
Daily Drawdown
The maximum percentage or dollar loss allowed within a single trading day — a hard limit used by most prop firms to prevent catastrophic single-day losses.
Trailing Drawdown
A drawdown limit that follows your account's highest equity point upward but never moves down — making your floor progressively tighter as profits grow.
Profit Target
The percentage gain required to pass a prop firm evaluation phase — typically 8–10% for Phase 1 and 4–5% for Phase 2.
E8 Funding uses a 5% daily drawdown limit and an 8% maximum drawdown on their standard plans. The daily drawdown is equity-based and resets at midnight server time.
E8 Funding Phase 1 requires an 8% profit target. Phase 2 requires a 5% target. Both phases share the same drawdown limits. Minimum trading days are required in each phase.
