PropFirmReferResearch platform for traders

PropFirmRefer earns a commission when you buy a challenge through our links, at no extra cost to you, and sells featured placement, which is labelled Featured wherever it appears. Neither changes a firm's Refer Score. How we rank. We are not a regulator, a broker or a financial adviser, and nothing here is investment advice.

How they pay

Forex and CFD

E8 Signature

  • A consistency rule of 35% applies, with at least 5 profitable days required, each achieving at least 0.3% profit, along with a buffer equal to the end-of-day trailing drawdown.
  • Minimum payout amounts: $100
  • Payout caps and buffer: https://intercom.help/e8/en/articles/11940573-payout-caps-and-buffers-for-e8-signature-explained

E8 One

  • A consistency rule of 40% and your net profit (payout share) must be greater than 50% of your daily drawdown.
  • Minimum payout amount: $100
  • If your profits exceed the Trailing Drawdown, you can request a payout. However, you must leave enough funds as a drawdown buffer, removing all profits will trigger account closure.

Payouts read off Arbitrum and tied to E8 Markets, each linked to its transaction. A payout that cannot be tied to a firm is left out, so this is a floor and not E8 Markets’s whole payout volume.

  • Collected from a public prop-firm directory and not yet checked by us. Treat it as a starting point, not as a figure we stand behind. Confirm anything that would decide a purchase against E8 Markets’s own rulebook. Prices vary by account size and are left blank until each one is verified.

  • $150K: $4,500
    • No withdrawals from inside the buffer.

    E8 Zero Starter

    Per request

    • $50,000: $1,000
    • $100,000: $1,600
    • $200,000: $2,100

    E8 Zero Max

    Per request:

    • $50,000 - $3,000
    • $100,000 - $5,000
    • $200,000 - $7,000
    • Each cycle's payout comes only from profits generated in that cycle. Whatever stays in the account after a request is considered a buffer — it simply remains in the account.
    • On E8 Signature Futures , there is a maximum number of payouts per account: 5. This is the same rule as on E8 Zero, and this determines how many payouts you can request in total from one account. After you request 5 payouts, no matter the remaining buffer or how much you requested in total payouts, the cycle is closed, the account is deactivated, and you move on with the free Challenge of the same size. This rule applies only to the Signature Futures account purchased after 14.07.2026 20:00 UTC +2
