What should I check before holding E8 Markets E8 One positions overnight ($100K perpetuals)?
E8 Markets allows overnight and weekend holding on the $100,000 E8 One perpetuals account in both evaluation and funded stages. Before keeping a position open, check its funding rate and countdown in E8 Terminal, and confirm the instrument's trading hours. Funding applies to the covered Hyperliquid assets, and violations caused by gaps, slippage or wider spreads remain your responsibility.

Check funding for the instrument you hold
The recorded funding rule points to three pieces of information in E8 Terminal: the instrument's funding rate, a countdown, and the account's funding history.
| Check | Why it matters for the hold |
|---|---|
| Instrument's funding rate | Establish the funding terms for the position you intend to keep open. Do not use another instrument's rate. |
| Funding countdown | Check when the next funding event is due relative to your planned exit. |
| Account funding history | Review funding entries already recorded on the account instead of judging the trade from price movement alone. |
Permission to hold does not make the position free to carry. Funding is a separate part of its outcome, so a plan based only on the entry and exit prices is incomplete.
Check the planned exit as well
The holding rule gives permission at both stages; it does not provide a trading-hours schedule for every instrument. Check the exact instrument rather than treating the perpetuals label as proof that you can enter or exit continuously.
E8 also assigns responsibility for account violations caused by gaps, slippage or widened spreads to the trader. Being allowed to hold therefore does not excuse a violation caused by the price or execution conditions encountered during that hold.
What is not established
The reviewed funding summary does not provide a numerical rate, a fixed interval, or the debit or credit applicable to a particular position. It cannot support a universal overnight-cost calculation. Check the instrument's current terminal information and confirm the direction and calculation basis before estimating the funding effect.
For the underlying distinction between holding a perpetual contract and its funding payments, see funding and prices in perpetual prop accounts.
The evidence
| Rule | What the terms say | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight and weekend holding | Allowed in both stages: positions can be held overnight and over the weekend. Gaps, slippage or widened spreads that cause a violation are the trader's responsibility. | 16 October 2026 |
| Funding payments | Funding rates apply on all Hyperliquid assets, like swap fees, and behave as they would in a live environment. E8 Terminal shows each instrument's funding rate with a countdown, and a funding history for the account. | 16 October 2026 |
