Consistency Rules

No consistency rules documented for this firm yet.

Firm Rules

Daily Consistency Threshold

Under the E8 One program, your profit from any single trading day cannot exceed 35% of your cumulative profits. This rule enforces measured, balanced trading behavior rather than aggressive single-session swings.

Max Position Size

You are limited to 50 lots per order when trading forex and index instruments. This restriction manages concentration risk and prevents oversized individual positions.

Independent Evaluation Requirement

All evaluation accounts must be traded independently without coordination or replication across other trader accounts. This ensures authentic performance assessment.

Order and Modification Caps

You cannot place more than 100 orders simultaneously, and are restricted to 2,000 total take-profit, stop-loss, and order modifications per trading day. These limits prevent system abuse and excessive order management.

Risk Per Trade

You cannot allocate your entire daily drawdown limit to a single trade. This mandate enforces prudent position sizing and prevents catastrophic single-trade losses.

No Cross-Account Hedging

Hedging across multiple accounts owned by the same trader is forbidden. The firm treats each account as a distinct trading vehicle and prohibits offsetting positions across them.

Trade Duration Rule

More than 50% of your open trades cannot be held for under one minute. This rule discourages scalping behavior and encourages slightly longer-term positioning.

News Trading Restrictions

News trading is permitted during the evaluation phase and E8 Signature funded accounts, but is prohibited 5 minutes before and after high-impact economic announcements in the E8 One funded tier. This balances trading opportunity with volatility management.

Expert Advisors and Automation

You may use EAs provided no multiple traders execute the same strategy. The firm limits one proprietary strategy per trader to prevent duplicate algorithm abuse across the user base.

Copy Trading Between Accounts

Copying trades between your own evaluation and funded accounts, or between two personal funded accounts, is allowed. However, copying between different traders' evaluation accounts remains prohibited.

Account Inactivity

Accounts inactive for 60 consecutive days will be automatically disabled with no refund entitlement. This policy encourages consistent engagement or account closure.

Overnight and Weekend Trading Restrictions

The E8 Signature program prohibits holding trades overnight or across weekends. Positions must be closed by end of each business day.
