E8 Markets

I worked with them, took payouts too. But whenever I had a problem, they didn’t try to find a solution, they always had answers/excuses. I bought many accounts from them and didn’t have big complaints. But when I needed help 2–3 times, they didn’t help their loyal customer. They make giveaways, but when their long-time customer needs help, they are not helping. I wrongly bought cTrader. Later I wanted to switch to MT5. I said this in live chat, but I didn’t see any answer and closed the chat. I checked my email for 3 hours, nothing happened. So I tried to use cTrader. I downloaded it, but I didn’t enter any username or password of my E8 account. I traded like I was in a cTrader demo. After 1 trade, I noticed it was connected to my E8 account and stopped trading immediately. My balance didn’t change significantly from that trade anyway. When I contacted E8 support again, they said they couldn’t switch it because I had already made 1 trade. So I accepted it involuntarily. While trading, because of my own mistakes and because I couldn’t find the settings of cTrader properly, I lost my account in 10 minutes. I never blamed E8 when I lost using MT5 before. But this was mainly caused by being forced to use cTrader, so I told them I was a loyal customer and that I was seeking help from their company. They said they could make a one-time exception at the beginning if I hadn’t made many trades. But at first they didn’t say this, they just said: “No, you already opened 1 trade, we can’t switch to MT5.” Anyway, they didn’t give any discount/help to a loyal customer about this situation. After this, I asked for deletion of my account and they helped very well haha. The next day after I deleted it, they sent an email saying they were giving all Gibbs Club members a 50% discount, also giveaway accounts, etc. When I needed help, nobody cared. But just a few hours later they did this huge discount campaign. They make big gifts for random users, but not for their loyal customer who already spent a lot with them. Today when I clicked Trustpilot, I decided to write this. Do they pay your winnings? Yes, I can’t blame them for that. My biggest payout was $1000, and I made 2–3 payouts without problems. But I can’t comment about very big payouts because I didn’t experience that. My main complaint is that they are not helpful when you have a problem. So I’m being honest and not giving 1 star — in my eyes, this is a 2-star company. Gold spreads are only good thing i saw, oil spreads are not good. Also, trailing drawdown is a big trap. Don’t waste money on it, choose static plans in my opinion.

I took a break from trading last year August. I came back to trade with E8 once I spent months studying and refining my strategy. I saw that everything was changed about their accounts from when I last traded with them and decide to trade their ONE account. Got my log in very quickly as the purchase was processed quick. I passed with 100% win rate. But then received an update email after my review and was told I will not be moving to funded account as one of my trade set ups went over 1%. Something that they said I agreed to back in August. Which I do not recall at all. There's no alert reminding you this when you purchase or anywhere in the dashboard to warn you about that risk limit set. They told me it would be a termination of the account but they gave me a reset. I was very upset about that as I studied months to try for another challenge. That frustration affected my trading after and I ended up losing the reset account. Bad experience as they could have at least given me the funded and told me to follow the 1% rule since it was something that was talked about almost a year ago when I last traded with them.

E8 Prop Firm doesn’t live up to the hype, especially their E8 Signature account. To be fair, their customer support is genuinely excellent, fast, helpful, and professional. That’s the main positive. However, the funded phase feels designed to work against traders: You must build a $1,000 buffer before you can even attempt a withdrawal. After your first withdrawal (max $1,000), the rules become much stricter, you need at least 5 winning trades of $300+ each before qualifying for another payout. Your second withdrawal is still capped at $1,000. Withdrawals are processed via a third-party company, which also takes a cut from your 80% profit split. And remember, you’re still trading on a demo account. Overall, the transition from challenge to funded account feels like a trap. The rules tighten in a way that makes it harder to succeed or withdraw profits. If you decide to close the account, that $1,000 buffer is gone. In my opinion, E8 doesn’t support traders, it feels more like a system set up for you to fail and take your money. There are better prop firms out there that are more transparent and trader-friendly. I’d advise others to think very carefully before signing up.
