- Choose E8 Markets if you want your first payout as soon as possible; you hold through volatile sessions and a daily limit would cut you off.

About the two firms
FundingPips
FundingPips' 2 Step Standard is a classic evaluation: 8% then 5%, a 5% daily limit from the higher of opening balance or equity, and a 10% maximum loss fixed to your start, with an 80% split. It's a sensible fit for most swing and day traders.
Forex & CFDs
Rules to watch: Daily loss measured from the higher of opening balance or equity, resets 00:00 UTC+3. One trade every 30 days or the account breaches. Zero (instant): first 3% of profit can't be withdrawn and you need 7 profitable days (0.25%+) in each rolling 30 days. On 2 Step Standard the weekly and two-week payout cycles have no consistency rule, and the two-week cycle is what PropPassCheck simulates. The On Demand cycle needs a 35% consistency score (no day over 35% of total profit) and 7 profitable days.

E8 Markets
E8 Markets runs two one-phase accounts with a 6% target. E8 One has a 3% daily limit and a 4% maximum loss that trails until it locks, with on-demand payouts and a 40% consistency rule once funded. E8 Signature swaps the failing daily limit for a 2% daily pause, but has a tight 3% trailing maximum loss and a 35% funded consistency rule.
Forex & CFDs
Rules to watch: E8 Signature: 2% daily pause on the funded account (pauses, doesn't fail), drawdown amount must stay in the account as a buffer, payout caps apply and futures accounts are limited to 4 payouts. E8 One payouts need net profit above half the daily drawdown. One trade every 60 days. Sources: help.e8markets.com/en/articles/11775980-e8-one and help.e8markets.com/en/articles/11755943-e8-signature
