Restricted Countries
Whether E8 Markets restricts residents of certain countries from signing up for a challenge - this is about who the firm will onboard, not where you may trade from or receive payouts.

| Notes | — | E8 states E8 Pro has "no Payout caps", but the payout mechanism itself limits a request to half of accrued profit: "first, 50% of your total profits is set aside as your requestable amount" - that structural ceiling is what max_per_request records. A minimum of 1% profit is required between payout cycles. E8 charges no payout fee of its own: "We don't charge any commissions or fees for payouts, but the processor of the payouts may charge depending on the option you are using." Median stats: 11 hours request-to-approval, 24 hours request-to-funds. The $100 minimum is measured after the split ("with 80% payout, you need to request at least $125"). |

Five profitable days - a day of realised closed PnL of 0.3% or more - are required between payouts, and the first payout is exempt.

Median stats: 11 hours request-to-approval, 24 hours request-to-funds. The $100 minimum is measured after the split ("with 80% payout, you need to request at least $125"). |

| Notes | — | E8 states E8 Pro has "no Payout caps", but the payout mechanism itself limits a request to half of accrued profit: "first, 50% of your total profits is set aside as your requestable amount" - that structural ceiling is what max_per_request records. A minimum of 1% profit is required between payout cycles.
