The short version
What actually separates them
One field on the record splits E8 Markets and Instant Funding. Everything else below either matches or is not on the record yet.
Intraday trailing tightens against your open profit; end-of-day trailing only resets at the close; static never moves. This is the rule most likely to end an account.
Not comparable yet: consistency rule, daily loss limit, starting price, activation fee, minimum days to a first payout, trader profit split — at least one of the two firms has no figure on record, so we do not draw a conclusion from it. A blank here means we have not confirmed the rule, not that the firm has none.
