8%/5% targets, 5% daily / 8% max static — the tighter-than-usual overall limit is the trap here.

E8's 2-step 'Classic' is DISCONTINUED for new purchases — current flagship is the single-phase E8 One. Funded defaults: 3% daily (fixed $ = 3% of initial, floor = day's starting balance − that $) and 4% 'Dynamic Drawdown' that trails the highest CLOSED balance and LOCKS static at the initial balance once closed profit ≥ the drawdown amount (does not reset after payouts). Both are customizable at checkout. 40% best-day rule applies at payout; first payout from day 3; 80/90/100% split chosen at purchase.
