BrightFunded vs E8 Markets
Rules placed next to each other, with the calculation basis written out — because two firms quoting the same percentage can be measuring completely different things.
What differs most.
- They calculate the daily loss limit from different reference points, so the percentages are not directly comparable.
- BrightFunded has no consistency rule on this plan; E8 Markets does.
