Lot Size Calculator for E8 Funding
E8 Funding provides evaluation challenges with defined risk parameters. Accurate position sizing helps you pass their evaluation while respecting drawdown limits. This calculator simplifies the lot size calculation process.
E8 Funding allows trading during high-impact news—unlike some prop firms that restrict it. This means your position sizing needs to account for potential slippage and volatility spikes that other prop firms wouldn't expose you to. E8's relatively generous drawdown rules can tempt traders to oversize, but the news trading freedom makes conservative sizing even more important.
