Restrictions
Perpetuals trade only on E8 Terminal, E8's own platform — not on MT5, cTrader, TradeLocker or MatchTrader. Instruments are crypto, equity, index and commodity perpetuals priced from the Hyperliquid feed inside E8's SimFi simulated environment.
Only two guardrails: the daily loss limit and the max drawdown, both equity-based (floating P&L counts) with no grace period. Position caps apply — $1M flat on BTC/ETH and equity/commodity perps, $150K on large-cap crypto (OI ≥ $100M), else 5% of open interest. Prohibited conduct is separate: cross-account or cross-venue hedging, wash trading, latency arbitrage, account cycling and payout/drawdown gaming all terminate the account.
