E8 Markets — trailing drawdown
E8 Markets's E8 One (customizable 4-14% Dynamic Drawdown / 80-90-100% payout split; this file = the /e8-one page's own default config, 6% drawdown / 80% split) models its maximum drawdown as a trailing floor at every account size PropSurvival's corpus carries for this program (5k, 10k, 25k, 50k, 100k, 200k, 400k, 500k): the threshold tracks the highest closed balance after each closed trade and never moves back down. The floor stops trailing once it locks; the corpus records a lock condition for this program.
