R-multiple is break-even profit divided by that product's own maximum permitted loss — under 1.00 means you can lose more than you need to make to win the fee back. Day count assumes 1% account growth per day, capped by the product's own daily loss limit. Blank cells are figures the firm does not publish.

Rule-by-rule, product by product

Each cell shows every value that firm's current products hold. Where a firm disagrees with itself the products are named — those are the rows a firm-level table has to flatten, and the ones that decide whether your strategy is allowed. 14 of 16 rows split this way in this matchup.

Dated changes affecting these firms

E8 MarketsVerified

E8 One default target and drawdown confirmed

Comparisons use the 9% / 4% / 6% default that the listed prices buy. Choosing a different drawdown changes the target and daily limit (and possibly the price), so check the selected configuration in the order confirmation; Indian and Kenyan profiles are additionally capped at the $200K E8 One tier.

E8 MarketsOpen watch

E8 Pro pages disagree on prices and configurable terms

The comparison uses the fixed 8% / 8% / 2.5% configuration at the listed prices and does not infer variant prices. Confirm the size, payout option, platform surcharge and final total in checkout.

E8 MarketsVerified

E8 Signature base prices refreshed

The four Signature fees are $10–$60 higher than the prior capture, so true-cost and break-even comparisons move with them. Check the final checkout total and any active code before paying.

Sources (6 first-party pages, latest capture Oct 19, 2026)

Every figure above is read from these pages. Products older than 30 days are removed from the comparison until they are recaptured, so a missing product means stale data, not a discontinued plan.

Firm-level context

These directory fields describe the firms, not a universal product rule. The sourced product tables above decide the exact fee, split, drawdown and trading conditions. Directory context is not independently refreshed by this comparison; verify platform and payment availability for the exact programme and country.
