Trading Rules to Check
- copy Trading: Allowed: You can copy trades from or to your personal account, another account, or even between multiple E8 Trader accounts, or between E8 Trader account and evaluation account (As long as these are your own trades from your own account). Restriction: You cannot copy trades (or use the same trading ideas) between multiple E8 evaluation accounts. Each evaluation must be done independently.
- ea: Allowed: You can also use any EA (Expert Advisor) as long as we don't see multiple users executing the same trades/strategy. We limit one strategy per user, so if we see multiple users utilize the same EA, it may lead to the termination of your account. So even though the use of third-party EA is allowed, we recommend that each user use their own programmed EA.
- news Trading: Allowed in evaluation stages and E8 Signature Funded stage, Not allowed in E8 One Funded stage 5 minutes before or after high-impact news.
- weekend Holding: Overnight and weekend trading is not allowed (in Signature Program).
- inactivity: After 60 days of inactivity, the account is disabled and there is no entitlement to a refund.
Payout Notes
Signature program: 35% consistency rule applies; minimum 5 profitable days required (3 days for first payout, each with at least 0.3% profit). A drawdown buffer equal to end-of-day trailing drawdown must remain in the account. E8 One: 40% consistency rule applies; net profit (payout share) must exceed 50% of daily drawdown. If profits exceed the Trailing Drawdown, a payout can be requested, but a drawdown buffer must remain. Withdrawing all profits triggers account closure.
Discount and Buying Caveat
FundCoupon tracks E8 Markets offer information, but promotions, prices, eligibility, and checkout behavior can change. Use the saved offer button when available, then verify the final price and terms on the official checkout before paying.
Final Recommendation
E8 Markets is worth shortlisting if its rules fit your existing trading process. Skip it if the discount is the main reason you are buying or if the drawdown, payout, platform, or strategy restrictions are unclear.
