E8 Futures Reviews

I signed up for E8 mostly because SMART offered a Payout bonus on it, but boy do I regret it. It's like they combined all of the worst funded rules into one account. Consistency rule, DLL, Need full buffer to request payout and a shitty low payout request cap. There are also minimum profitable days. They of course list it as .3% instead of just saying $150 for a 50k account and listing them. This also means that you need to make $450 for 5 days in a 150k account... Honestly just trash, If I would have read this beforehand I would not have even bothered. Also, their dashboard was super glitchy, combining days which messed up my consistency to I had to contact support to fix. All around lousy experience.

Overall a great and reliable prop firm. I've been trading with them for years and never had an issue. No hidden rules, relatively fast payout process, payout to Rise got processed within 1 business day from completing the Rise Master Agreement. Customer service are very responsive and prompt with resolutions.

E8 offers probably the most underrated sim program. This allows for one of the best environments for repeat sim payouts. The clear caveats are the rare discounts, 80/20 splits, and consistency. Although it is also a one day pass and usually same session activation. The first payout only takes 3 minimum trading days as well. In theory if you don't hit your DLL you can get paid in 3-5 days which is pretty nuts. Trading rules would be an A plus if it was 90/10 and had a 40% consistency instead of 35%.

I purchased a series of 25k accounts with a previous awesome E8 Futures promotion. As a first time user, it was easy to get an account setup and get situated with Tradovate/NinjaTrader. The rules were straightforward. I really like that you can pass the 25k challenge account in one day and that it has a EOD drawdown. Overall, my experience was very good and would recommend them.

E8 has to be one of the most underrated prop firms in the futures space. The signature accounts are some of the best in the space. The rules are super fair and the payouts scale over time so you can really get great ROI if your consistent on a smaller account. Just build your buffer and you can start taking payouts. Any time I've ever had an issue E8's support has been fantastic. I can't say that for many firms but E8 and their support team do a great job. If you're looking for a firm other than Lucid or Tradeify I strongly suggest giving E8 a try!

I originally chose E8 because it offered great value at the time. While I didn't dig incredibly deep into the fine print of their documentation, I did study the rules on the main page and the checkout screen in great detail before purchasing. That is why I was incredibly disappointed when all of my accounts were abruptly canceled due to 10 days of inactivity. As it turns out, this rule is in their documentation, but you have to dig really deep to actually find it. Losing my accounts when I had barely even traded them was extremely frustrating. I feel like a critical rule like inactivity expiration should be displayed upfront during the purchase process. At the very least, they should send a reminder email when the due date is approaching (similar to how Lucid does it).

The E8 signature is literally infinity money, once we get funded as we take payouts the payout cap will increase till 5 payouts. After that, we can every payout with highest payout cap till we blow up, I like this feature. The customer care is don't follow up the issue, I had to reopen ticket and asked them to follow up again. They did solve my issue after 48 hours, when it could have been solved within 6 hours to 24 hours. Overall E8 is good, customer care need to follow up cases instead of wasting customer time.

I’ve a good experience with E8 .The evaluation process is straightforward and feels fair —clear rules, no hidden surprises, and realistic targets. Their dashboard is also clean and easy to navigate. I noted some recent improvement to help track progress and clearly reflect the trading objectives and targets , making it clearer and easier to ensure that rules are met. which is obviously the most important factor with any prop firm. Customer support has also been responsive whenever I had questions and is able to address my queries to my satisfaction . Overall, E8 Futures feels like a firm that actually understands traders and isn’t trying to trap you with unrealistic rules. Definitely worth considering if you’re looking to get funded in futures.

E8 has become a very competitive firm to trade at with the latest acct structure revamp a couple months ago, the 50k acct is fairly priced when there running promos. A big benefit of the signature accts is a 90% profit split and sim payout model that doesnt force you into live acct if your trading well. i willsay the 50k acct is a bit overpriced without promos compared to the competition. Tradovate is an option which is huge plus for me personally, all in all great firm, fair rules, and solid customer support team

I recently spent a couple of weeks trading with E8 Futures and had a positive overall experience. I ran into an issue, but their customer support responded quickly and resolved it without any hassle. I also appreciate their one-time fee model, which is different from many firms that charge monthly. The team was attentive and helpful, making a stressful situation much easier to handle. The platform was straightforward to use and remained stable during my sessions. I haven’t reached a payout yet, but based on my experience and what I’ve heard from others, they seem reliable and professional.
