E8 Markets: Payouts, split & scaling
Split up to 100% (E8 One selectable 80/90/100% at checkout — higher split costs more). First payout from 3 days into Performance. E8 Signature needs 5 profitable days (≥0.3% each) between payouts; E8 Pro pays daily. Scaling applies to E8 Classic and Track only — E8 One Performance caps allocation at $500,000.
The gotcha
Before a payout you must leave a buffer equal to your drawdown in the account, and net profit must exceed 50% of your daily drawdown. 'Scaling to $1M' claims are unconfirmed — One caps at $500k.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this doesn't necessarily close the account, but it can disqualify the payout you were trading toward — you keep trading, the profit doesn't get paid.
