E8 Markets8.5/10 · Forex
Genuinely customizable and scalping-tolerant, but the trailing 'Dynamic' drawdown on E8 One, the 40%/35% best-day rule and the funded-stage news window ambush traders who only learned the laxer challenge rules.
Best for: Swing/overnight and news traders who want a one-step path and choose E8 One (custom drawdown + weekend holding) — not pure tick-scalpers or anyone copying external signals.
Start a E8 Markets challengeFunded Trading Plus8.4/10 · Forex
Genuinely flexible — no time limits, no minimum days, EAs and news allowed, and a path to a lifetime 100% split — but watch the Symbol Loss Limit and the same-market-two-accounts profit-nullification rule.
Best for: Discretionary and EA traders who want maximum flexibility (no time/day minimums) and a fast route to a 100% split — and who avoid running the same symbol across accounts.
