E8 Markets plan comparison
E8 Markets offers E8 Signature Futures, the classic 1-step evaluation, plus two Zero plans (Starter and Max) with no minimum trading days or minimum profitable days and daily payouts. The best E8 Markets plan depends on whether you value the lowest price, getting paid every day, or the highest payout cap.

This table compares the three plan families. Prices show the previous price, current price and discount for each account size. All three plans share the same 3% EOD Dynamic Drawdown and the same 17:00-15:10 CT trading window, with positions force-closed at 15:10 CT.
| Plan | Discounted prices | Account sizes | Drawdown | Daily profit cap | Payout | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Signature |
| 25K, 50K, 100K, 150K | 3% EOD Dynamic Drawdown | Yes | On the firm's schedule (not daily), no payout cap | Traders who want the lowest entry price (25K) and no ceiling on payouts. |
| Zero Starter |
| 50K, 100K, 200K | 3% EOD Dynamic Drawdown | No | Daily, cap $1,000-$2,100 depending on size | Traders who want daily payouts at the lowest cost. |
| Zero Max |
| 50K, 100K, 200K | 3% EOD Dynamic Drawdown | No | Daily, cap $3,000-$7,000 depending on size | Traders who want the highest daily payout cap available. |

The best E8 Markets plan overall for most traders is Zero Max 50K. It has no minimum trading days, no minimum profitable days requirement, no daily profit cap, pays out daily, and offers the highest payout cap in the Zero lineup ($3,000 on the 50K). The consistency rule (40% Best Day Rule) only applies during the challenge, not on the funded account.
This plan benefits traders who want steady liquidity and don't want a daily profit limit cutting a strong day short. With PROPSCOPE, Zero Max 50K comes out to $246.00 after 25% off.
Recommendation: start with the 50K size unless your strategy already has enough data to justify 100K or 200K. The best E8 Markets plan is not necessarily the biggest account — it's the one whose cost, payout cap and rules match how you actually trade.
The cheapest E8 Markets plan is Signature 25K at $82.50 after 25% off, since it's the only plan offered at that account size. If you want a 50K account, Signature 50K is $112.50, cheaper than Zero Starter 50K at $133.50 and Zero Max 50K at $246.00.
Signature 25K is best if you want to try E8 Markets for the smallest possible outlay or prefer a smaller evaluation. Zero Starter 50K is the better pick if daily payouts matter more than entry price.
Recommendation: don't choose only by price. Pick Signature 25K for the lowest cost, Signature 50K for the cheapest 50K account, and Zero Starter 50K if getting paid every day is the priority.
For beginners, Zero Starter 50K is the easiest to understand: no minimum trading days, no minimum profitable days, no daily profit cap, and daily payouts from the first cycle. The free reset after the fifth payout also gives you room to restart without paying again.
Signature Futures requires a minimum number of trading days, a minimum number of profitable days and a daily profit cap — rules that can add extra pressure for someone just starting out.
Recommendation: if you're looking for the best E8 Markets plan for beginners, start with Zero Starter 50K. If you already have experience and prefer the lowest entry price, Signature 25K is still a valid option.
If you're looking for an E8 Markets plan with no daily profit cap, the answer is Zero Starter and Zero Max: neither one limits how much you can make in a single day. E8 Signature Futures does apply a daily profit cap.
No daily cap benefits traders with uneven PnL, such as trend-following or breakout strategies that can produce one large gain in a single session. It doesn't replace your own risk management — it just removes the limit the firm imposes.
Recommendation: choose Zero Starter or Zero Max if a strong single-day gain is part of your strategy. If you'd rather trade under more traditional rules and don't mind the cap, Signature Futures has the lowest entry price.
Zero Max is available at 50K, 100K and 200K, at $246.00 (50K), $441.00 (100K) and $816.00 (200K) after 25% off. The published profit target is $3,000 / $6,500 / $13,500 depending on size, with no time limit, no minimum trading days and no minimum profitable days requirement.
The payout cap is $3,000 (50K), $5,000 (100K) and $7,000 (200K) — the highest in E8 Markets' Zero lineup — with daily payouts and up to 5 payouts per account. After the fifth payout, the account gets a free reset. The consistency rule (40% Best Day Rule) only applies during the challenge, not on the funded account. News trading and copy trading between your own accounts are both allowed.
Zero Max suits traders who already have consistent results and want to maximize how much they can withdraw each day, without Signature's minimum-day requirements.
Signature Futures is E8 Markets' traditional evaluation plan, available at 25K, 50K, 100K and 150K, with pricing starting at $82.50 after 25% off. The profit target depends on account size and has no time limit to reach it.
Unlike the Zero plans, Signature requires a minimum number of trading days, a minimum number of profitable days, and applies a consistency rule alongside a daily profit cap. Drawdown is 3% EOD Dynamic, same as the rest of the lineup. Payout isn't daily — it's processed on the firm's schedule — but there's no payout amount cap and no 5-payout limit per account. News trading and copy trading between your own accounts are also allowed.
Recommendation: choose Signature if you want the lowest entry price (25K), don't mind waiting for payout on E8 Markets' schedule, and want a plan with no long-term ceiling on how much you can withdraw.
Zero Starter is the cheapest Zero option with daily payouts. Zero Max costs more but raises the daily payout cap up to $7,000. Signature is the classic evaluation: lowest entry price (25K) but payout on the firm's schedule, not daily.
Zero Starter and Zero Max share the same rules: no minimum days, no daily profit cap, a consistency rule (40% Best Day Rule) that only applies during the challenge, and a free reset after the fifth payout. Signature adds a minimum trading days requirement, a minimum profitable days requirement and a daily profit cap, but has no free reset and no payout limit.
The difference between the two is the payout cap: $1,000-$2,100 on Zero Starter versus $3,000-$7,000 on Zero Max, with Zero Max costing more at every account size. If your priority is the lowest cost, Zero Starter is enough; if you want the higher withdrawal ceiling, Zero Max justifies the extra cost.
If you want one answer, choose E8 Zero Max 50K as the best E8 Markets plan overall. It offers daily payouts, no profit cap and the highest withdrawal ceiling in the Zero lineup.
Choose Signature 25K for the lowest entry price, Zero Starter 50K if you're a beginner who wants daily payouts at the lowest cost, and Signature in general if you prefer the lowest entry price and don't mind waiting for payout on the firm's schedule. The right account is the one you can trade with discipline, not the one that looks biggest in the table.
