E8 Markets

In the moment of challenge eval trading the price movement on mt5 E8 was not the same(big delay) like on forex market. So in reality was a different chart on E8 mt5 big lag. I triyed to explain them but zero correct reaction. At the end I want to tell trustpillot do not turn off my real reviews because the E8 ask you to do that. Trustpilot need to trust clients not a manipulators wich take money for the wrong service.

I’ve been having issues with my tradovate account being linked to my trading view account for trades. When messaged it was escalated to but still unresolved so I rather a refund so that I can move on with another prop firm

Their trading environment is top notch. Do not listen to anyone that says otherwise. I used to tell everyone E8 is the gold standard for prop firm US users. It's been months since I checked their current rules and challenges, and they make it harder every time. In the beginning of the year they added a payout consistency rule. I check again and it's more challenging. I "understand" the ultra restrictive risk mitigation rules placed on me as a funded trader (I don't agree but I understand every reputable firm does this), but these new rules are restrictive beyond belief. Trading Leverage is slashed across the board (If you trade Gold, Indices or Crypto this matters most). And now, they offer Dynamic Drawdown instead of total drawdown ONLY. Your drawdown level decreases based on how profitable you are, until it reaches your original balance and then it is "suggested" that you keep a "buffer" of profits in your account which would be treated as future drawdown because any dollar amount below your original balance would be a breach. In how many more ways can a prop firm tell you "we don't want you to grow or succeed". Paying a premium for E8 while getting less. Inflation hit the prop firm industry? It is hard enough becoming a profitable trader. It is apparent that the industry as a whole is adjusting to a more challenging environment. Watching E8 fall from grace like this is a sad sight. To get these rules thrown at you is discouraging. With rules changing almost monthly, in what direction is E8 headed? Why not allow for scaling and copy trades of consistent traders.......which might foster a less restrictive philosophy for success? Certainly going to explore FTMO next year. Perhaps Brightfunded and their suppozed "sus" trading environment? Brightfunded doesn't offer a trial account (shady), offers pretty good discounts (duble shady) but at least they aren't changing rules every other month.

E8 has unjustly limited my risk following a larger payout request. Their reasoning for doing so makes no sense. They are clearly trying to avoid paying profitable traders.

Used to have a great payout structure until they quietly changed their payout rules. Unfortunately on my latest payout I learned they now cap payouts to $2400 (they did not notify of the change) on $100k accounts regardless of the amount of winning trading days you have. For some context I was expecting a $12000 payout under the old rules - now capped to $2400. To be fair to them they have been reliable with payouts in the past and the support is good. Unfortunately in my opinion with the new payout rules there are much better options out there in the market with more generous reward structures that do not limit payouts. .
