E8 Pro evaluations at E8 Perps now carry a minimum number of trading days, and it depends on the drawdown chosen at checkout. The 6% drawdown needs 3 days, the standard 8% needs 4, and the 10% needs 5. Before, we showed no minimum.
The number follows from the 2% daily profit cap. The profit target equals the drawdown, and only 2% of the initial balance counts toward it each day, so the target cannot be reached in fewer days. On a $100,000 account at 8%, the target is $8,000 and the daily cap is $2,000, which gives 4 days.
E8 One is unchanged and has no minimum number of trading days.
