E8 Markets: EAs, copy trading & hedging
▶E8 Markets EA and Hedging Rules: The Bot Ban You Won't See Coming — 46s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Any EA is allowed provided E8 doesn't observe many users running the same bot — a popular off-the-shelf EA can void you. Copy trading is allowed only across your OWN accounts. Hedging is fine within one account but opening offsetting positions across two of your accounts voids them. Martingale is allowed.
The gotcha
Cross-account hedging is an explicit voider, and a shared/commercial EA used by many E8 users gets terminated even if it's legitimate.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
