E8 Zero funded accounts now list the maximum number of contracts at the top of the scaling ladder instead of the starting limit. The 25K shows 3 contracts (was 1), the 50K shows 5 (was 2), the 100K shows 8 (was 3), and the Starter 150K and Max 200K show 10 (was 4).
This is a change in what is displayed, not in how scaling works. A funded Zero account still starts lower, for example at 1 contract on the 25K, and steps up automatically at the start of each new trading day: first after locking 1.5% profit at the end of the day, then again after locking 3%. The top tier is the limit a trader reaches once the second step is hit. The same applies to Starter and Max on every size they sell.
Full rules are on the E8 Futures firm page.
