E8 Markets
Everything below is read from E8 Markets' own rules page and dated. What it costs and what it pays are on their site; what the rules mean at your risk per trade is not, and that is what this page adds.
The funded account is simulated
E8 Markets' own materials describe the capital as simulated. You are paid a share of notional profit under a contract rather than trading a funded brokerage account. That is what the product is — worth knowing before you price the fee against it, not after.

One attempt. Multiply by the attempts you expect — the calculator does it .
- · A 100% payout share is sold as a paid add-on at purchase; the standard share is 80%.
- · Only 2% of profit per day counts toward the target, and the cap persists on the funded account.
- · Payouts are requestable daily from 1% profit; the firm describes them as discretionary performance-based incentives.
- · The swap-free option adds 10% to the price, and cTrader adds $10 on accounts under $100.
- · At least one trade must be placed and closed every 60 days or the account is disabled.

Questions
- What are E8 Markets' challenge rules?
- As published on the firm's own pages, read 2026-08-05: E8 One: 6% target, 3% daily limit, 4% overall (trailing close); E8 Pro: 8% target, 2.5% daily limit, 8% overall (static). What these mean at your own risk per trade — how many consecutive losing trades each cap allows — is computed in the tables on this page.
- Does E8 Markets refund the challenge fee?
- E8 One: no; E8 Pro: no. Where a refund exists, when it actually arrives is recorded in the rules above — several firms pay it with a later reward rather than on passing.
- Is E8 Markets' funded account real money?
- E8 Markets' own materials describe the capital as simulated. You are paid a share of notional profit under a contract rather than trading a funded brokerage account — the source and the date we read it are cited on this page.
What is not on this page
A pass rate. Nobody publishes one, and the percentages in circulation come from firms selling challenges or affiliates earning on sign-ups. A number with that provenance would make this page look more authoritative and be worth less.
Fees are shown as displayed on the date read, and prop firms discount often — treat the figure as a snapshot and check the firm's own page before paying. What this page adds is the part that page does not tell you: what the rules mean at the risk you actually trade, and what the attempt costs once you stop assuming you pass first time. Run them against your own numbers.
Before you buy an attempt
Work out how many consecutive losers the drawdown allows at your risk per trade, and multiply the fee by the number of attempts you honestly expect. Both take a minute and both change the decision.
