Direct answer
How much you can withdraw on Zero MAX: $3,000, $5,000 and $7,000 per cycle
The Zero MAX withdrawal cap per cycle is $3,000 on the 50K account, $5,000 on the 100K and $7,000 on the 200K. Those are the highest withdrawal ceilings in the whole E8 Markets futures line, well over triple the ones on Zero Starter ($1,000, $1,600 and $2,100).
That cap is the only thing that changes. The trading rules are exactly the same on both Zero plans: same sizes, same profit targets, the same 3% EOD Dynamic Drawdown, the same 40% consistency limited to the challenge and the same daily payouts from $100.
Paying more for Zero MAX only makes sense if your profit per cycle clears the Zero Starter cap. With five payouts per account, a $5,000 cap on the 100K leaves a theoretical ceiling far above what the same size allows on Starter, and that is the entire difference you are buying.
The plan
What the E8 Zero MAX plan is
Zero MAX is the high-cap version of E8 Zero, E8 Markets’ one-phase futures evaluation. You buy the account size, reach the profit target without breaching the 3% EOD Dynamic Drawdown, and the account moves to SimFi Performance, where you can request a payout every day.
What defines the Zero family is what it removes at the payout stage: no consistency rule, no minimum profitable days, no minimum trading days and no daily profit cap. The only consistency rule is a 40% best day that applies during the challenge only.
Zero MAX keeps the family's two limits — a withdrawal cap per cycle and a maximum of 5 payouts per account, after which you receive a free Challenge account of the same size — but with the highest cap available. The platform is Tradovate and the profit split is chosen at purchase: 80% or 100%.
Rules
Zero MAX rules by account size
These are the parameters E8 Markets publishes. The profit target rises slightly with size (6%, 6.5% and 6.75%) while the EOD Dynamic Drawdown stays at 3% across all three sizes.

There is no time limit to pass, but you must open and close at least one trade every 7 days in both stages. News trading is allowed without restrictions and copy trading across your own accounts is permitted. Trading hours run from 17:00 to 15:10 CT, with every position force-closed at 15:10 CT.
Rules
The 3% EOD Dynamic Drawdown and the breakeven lock
Zero MAX runs on a single loss limit: the 3% EOD Dynamic Drawdown, with no daily drawdown on top. It is a moving limit that follows your highest end-of-day balance, updates once per session and does not react to intraday equity. Touching it breaches the account.
On a Zero MAX 200K the drawdown is $6,000, so the limit starts at $194,000. Close the week at $204,000 and the limit sits at $198,000; a later drop does not pull it back down. During the challenge it keeps climbing with every higher close.
On the Performance account the limit locks at the initial balance as soon as your closed profit equals the drawdown amount, or right after the first payout, whichever comes first. From that point it works as a fixed floor: it is the part of the plan that stops a withdrawal from leaving you with no room.
To compare this model against an intraday trailing limit or a static drawdown, the static vs trailing vs EOD drawdown guide explains it with examples and the drawdown calculator lets you simulate your own case.
Rules
The 40% consistency rule: it exists, but only in the challenge
Zero MAX applies a 40% best day during the challenge only: no single trading day can account for more than 40% of the total profit generated. Once you reach SimFi Performance the rule disappears and never gates a payout again.
E8 Markets publishes the practical consequence of that rule: the earliest you can pass the challenge phase is 3 trading days. It is not an imposed wait, it is the minimum number of sessions needed for no single day to sit above 40% of the total.
The consistency rule calculator gives you the accumulated profit you need for your best day to fall under the threshold before you start trading.
Payouts
Daily payouts and the 5-withdrawal cycle
On the Performance account you can request one payout per day, after market rollover, with a $100 minimum and a maximum equal to your size's cap: $3,000, $5,000 or $7,000. There is no consistency rule, no minimum profitable days and no daily profit cap delaying the request.
An example on the 100K: build $7,000 of profit and you can request $5,000, the cycle cap. The remaining $2,000 stays in the account as drawdown buffer and cannot be requested later, because each cycle only pays out profit generated within that cycle.
Each account allows 5 payouts. On the fifth the cycle closes, the account is deactivated and you receive a free Challenge account of the same size. It is not a ceiling on what you can earn: it is how the cycle works, and it is what lets the plan run with no consistency rule and no minimum days at the payout stage.
The profit split is chosen at purchase: 80% or 100%. The 100% option costs a little more and leaves every payout fully yours; the prices listed on this page correspond to the 80% option.

Trading
Contracts and scaling on the Performance account
The challenge carries a fixed contract limit: 4 on 50K, 8 on 100K and 10 on 200K. The Performance account starts lower and scales with the profit locked at the end of the day.
| Contracts in Performance | 50K | 100K | 200K |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| At 1.5% in profit (half the drawdown) | 3 | 5 | 7 |
| At 3% in profit (full drawdown) | 5 | 8 | 10 |
Scaling is applied automatically at the start of the next trading day. The allowance is counted by available margin: one $10,000-margin contract such as the E-mini S&P 500 (ES) takes the same room as ten $1,000 micros such as the MES, so 4 contracts on a 200K lets you work with up to 40 micros.

Fit
Who Zero MAX is for (and who it isn't)
It suits you if
- You expect to withdraw above the $1,000 to $2,100 range where Zero Starter stops.
- You want to get paid every day with no consistency rule, no minimum profitable days and no daily profit cap.
- Your results are already stable and the higher entry cost pays for itself on the first or second payout.
- You prefer a single clear loss limit that locks at breakeven after the first withdrawal.
It does not suit you if
- You are still testing the firm: the rules are identical on Zero Starter and it costs considerably less.
- You want a 25K or a 150K: those sizes only exist on Signature Futures.
- Your profit per cycle sits comfortably below the Starter cap: you would be paying for a ceiling you never use.
- You want the firm's lowest entry price: Signature Futures is the cheapest plan in the futures line.
Comparison
Zero MAX against the other E8 futures plans
The E8 Markets futures line has three plans. Zero MAX and Zero Starter share their rules and differ only in the withdrawal cap; Signature Futures is the classic evaluation, with more sizes and a different payout schedule.
| Plan | Sizes | Consistency | Payouts | Cap per withdrawal | Key difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zero MAX | 50K · 100K · 200K | 40%, challenge only | Daily from $100 | $3,000 – $7,000 per cycle | The highest withdrawal cap in the line. |
| Zero Starter | 50K · 100K · 200K | 40%, challenge only | Daily from $100 | $1,000 – $2,100 per cycle | The same rules for considerably less money. |
| Signature Futures | 25K · 50K · 100K · 150K | 35% best day on every payout | 5 profitable days between requests | $1,000 – $5,250 | Lowest entry price and the 25K and 150K sizes. |
If you are choosing between plans rather than between sizes, the best E8 Markets plan guide compares all three with a recommendation per profile. For the full detail: Zero Starter plan, the cheapest route to daily payouts, and Signature Futures plan, the cheapest one-step evaluation.
E8 Zero MAX frequently asked questions
How much can you withdraw on the E8 Zero MAX plan?
Up to $3,000 per cycle on the 50K account, $5,000 on the 100K and $7,000 on the 200K, with a $100 minimum per request and one payout per day. Those are the highest withdrawal caps in the E8 Markets futures line.
What is the difference between E8 Zero MAX and E8 Zero Starter?
Only the withdrawal cap and the price. The rules are identical: same sizes, same profit targets, the same 3% EOD Dynamic Drawdown, the same 40% consistency limited to the challenge and the same daily payouts. Zero MAX withdraws between $3,000 and $7,000 per cycle; Zero Starter between $1,000 and $2,100.
Does Zero MAX have a consistency rule?
Only during the challenge, and it is 40%: no single trading day can account for more than 40% of the total profit generated. On the SimFi Performance account there is no consistency rule, no minimum profitable days and no daily profit cap.
What drawdown type does Zero MAX use?
A 3% EOD Dynamic Drawdown, and it is the plan’s only loss limit: there is no daily drawdown. It is calculated from your highest end-of-day balance and does not move with intraday equity. On the Performance account it locks at the initial balance once closed profit equals the drawdown amount, or after the first payout.
What is the Zero MAX profit target?
$3,000 on the 50K account (6%), $6,500 on the 100K (6.5%) and $13,500 on the 200K (6.75%), in closed profit. There is no time limit to reach it, but you must open and close at least one trade every 7 days.
How many payouts can you request per Zero MAX account?
Five. After the fifth payout the cycle closes, the account is deactivated and you receive a free Challenge account of the same size. Profit left unwithdrawn does not carry over to the next cycle.
How many contracts does Zero MAX allow?
4 contracts in the 50K challenge, 8 in the 100K and 10 in the 200K. The Performance account starts at 2, 3 and 4 contracts and scales to 3, 5 and 7 at 1.5% in profit, and to 5, 8 and 10 at 3%, applied at the start of the next trading day.
How much does the E8 Zero MAX plan cost?
The Zero MAX 50K is the cheapest size of the plan and is paid once per evaluation. The pricing table on this page lists the three sizes with their list price and final price for the 80% profit split option; the 100% option costs a little more and is chosen at the E8 Markets checkout.
