E8 Markets payout rules: 14-day wait, 5 profitable days, Best Day rule
Three gates before every E8 payout, and one of them scales with the daily drawdown you bought. The sequence.
Payout rules

|---|---|
| First payout | after 14 days on the Performance Account |
| Profit threshold | net profit above 50% of the daily drawdown limit ($2,001 on a 100K with 4% daily) |
| Profitable days | 5 days of at least 0.3% each |
| Best Day | no single day above 40% of total profit (35% on Signature) |

What it means for a systematic strategy
The profit threshold is half the daily limit, so the wider the daily loss bought at purchase, the more profit must be banked before the first request. Five days at 0.3% is a low bar per day but a real one for a strategy that trades twice a week. The Best Day rule is the same shape as elsewhere: cap the largest day at roughly a third of the expected cycle profit and it never blocks.
