E8 Markets showed that I passed and later said I exceeded maximum drawdown

I completed an E8 Markets challenge and the dashboard showed that I had achieved the profit target. I waited for the funded account because nothing on the dashboard indicated that the evaluation had failed.

Instead, I later received an email saying that I had exceeded the maximum drawdown. That directly conflicted with the status displayed in my account when the challenge ended.

I expected the dashboard to detect a drawdown breach immediately rather than display a successful result and reverse it afterward. Before relying on a passed status, traders should preserve screenshots of the dashboard, equity history, and every position so any later calculation can be independently checked.
