Quick answer
E8 currently calls One, Zero, Signature and Pro active single-phase product families. Signature is not a legacy-only route.
Which markets does each E8 product cover?
E8 Zero is for Futures. E8 One and E8 Pro cover Forex and Crypto. E8 Signature spans Forex, Crypto and Futures. Read the current product overview.
How should you compare configurations?
E8 describes fees as one-time and states that there is no activation or subscription fee. Optional settings can change the price and rule package. Check the official configuration owner and rely on the final checkout total.
Which product should you start with?
Start with the market, then compare drawdown, target, payout cadence and news rules for the exact product. A rule from One is not automatically a rule for Signature or Pro.
Which E8 account fits the way you trade?
Start with the market and loss model. Price matters only after the product fits the instruments, holding window and platform you need.
| Product | Markets | Current size and base-fee boundary | Decision point |
|---|---|---|---|
| E8 One | Forex, Crypto, Perpetual | $5K–$500K; base $48–$1,998 | Configurable account with dynamic maximum loss. CFD platform access varies by region; Perpetual runs on E8 Terminal. |
| E8 Zero | Futures | $50K/$100K/$200K; Starter $178/$278/$558, Max $328/$588/$1,088 | EOD dynamic drawdown. Performance contract size follows published profit bands. |
| E8 Signature | Forex, Crypto, Futures | $25K/$50K/$100K/$150K; base $120/$160/$280/$450 | EOD dynamic drawdown and fixed Futures contract caps. Use this route when Futures access matters. |
| E8 Pro | Forex, Crypto, Perpetual | $5K–$500K; base $32–$2,598 | Static maximum loss. CFD platform access varies by region; Perpetual runs on E8 Terminal. |
One versus Signature: choose One when its configurable dynamic-loss setup and weekend access fit the plan. Choose Signature when you need its Futures route or prefer its EOD loss model. Confirm the exact configuration before payment: paid options can change both price and rules, and no single scaling rule applies to all four products.
Platform fit by market route
| Market route | Current platforms | Setup boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Classic Forex/Crypto | TradeLocker, MatchTrader, cTrader, MT5 and E8 Terminal | Availability depends on the account and region. US clients use TradeLocker or MatchTrader. |
| Exchange-traded Futures | Tradovate | Credentials come from E8X. TradingView connects through Tradovate. Quantower is absent from E8's current platform owners. |
| Perpetual Futures | E8 Terminal only | MT5, cTrader, TradeLocker and MatchTrader are unavailable for this route. |
Use E8's platform owner, Tradovate login guide or E8 Terminal guide for setup. This article does not duplicate device-specific login steps.
E8 Futures caps and Zero scaling
| Route and size | Challenge cap | Performance start | 1.5% locked profit | 3% locked profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zero $50K | 4 | 2 | 3 | 5 |
| Zero $100K | 8 | 3 | 5 | 8 |
| Zero $200K | 10 | 4 | 7 | 10 |
Zero Performance applies a new cap on the next trading day after locked end-of-day profit reaches a band. Zero Challenge does not scale. Signature Futures uses fixed caps: 2 for $25K, 4 for $50K, 8 for $100K and 12 for $150K.
Futures capacity also depends on margin per contract. The current schedule lists /ES at $10,000, /MES at $1,000 and /SI at $2,000. Use E8's full cap and margin owner before entry.
Spreads and commissions by market route
| Route | Cost boundary |
|---|---|
| Classic Forex | Raw-spread and no-commission configurations exist; exact live costs depend on the account and symbol. |
| Perpetual crypto | 0.0450% taker and 0.0150% maker on notional value. |
| Perpetual traditional instruments | 0.0090% taker and 0.0030% maker; E8 says major-instrument spreads are usually around one tick. |
| Exchange-traded Futures | Symbol-level round-trip commission, exchange/NFA and clearing costs. Current examples total $5.76 for ES and $1.90 for MES. |
Check E8X for live classic-market costs and E8's Futures instrument and fee table. The Signature base-price row above remains $120/$160/$280/$450 because both current direct E8 owners showed those prices on the check date.
Official source owners checked 14 September 2026. Recheck the linked live owner when the product, platform, fee or rule changes.
The bottom line
There are four current product families. Treat every price and rule as product-specific and confirm the final configuration before payment.
