Built simple

E8 Zero is a one-phase account for traders who don't want to deal with silly or hidden rules. Pass the challenge, then get paid daily on the performance account.

Forex, futures and crypto
01

Static drawdown

The 3% loss limit is calculated from your initial account balance. It never moves with your equity or closed profits — hard breach, no trailing.

02

Daily payouts

Request one payout each day after market rollover. Minimum profit and payout is just $100.

03

100% payout

Keep what you earn. Every payout you request is yours — no split.

04

Breakeven after first payout

Your first payout sets the static drawdown to your initial balance level — and it stays there forever, the same mechanics as on E8 Pro accounts.

05

Five payouts, then a free restart

Each performance account pays out up to five times. Once you reach the fifth payout, the account closes and you receive a new Challenge account for free.

Accounts

A one-time fee with live pricing. Every size runs the same rules — 6% target, 3% static drawdown, 100% payout — only the payout caps change.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure – CFTC Rule 4.41

Simulated or hypothetical trading results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records, they do not reflect real trading activity, they may under- or over-compensate for market factors such as liquidity, and they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will, or is likely to, achieve profits or losses similar to those displayed or referenced.
