How it works

Every step improves the trader and every payout proves the results.

01

Start

Pick your account size. Pay one fee. Trade $5K–$500K in simulated capital.

Nothing you lose is your money. That's the point. Here, you learn without the damage.

02

Challenge

Hit the profit target. Stay inside the guard rails.

No deadline. Most people take weeks. Roughly 1 in 5 pass (and we actually publish that number). Learn how challenges work.

03

Perform

Understand your behaviour. Improve your trading. Earn real money.

The rules are simple: prove it wasn't a fluke. Consistent performance and steady profits - no lucky one-off wins.

04

Earn

Get payouts as you profit. Keep up to 100%.

First payout in as little as 3 days. Over $74M paid to traders since 2021. Every trader on the leaderboard started here.

Brokers profit when you lose.

Most retail brokers don't send your trade to the market — they take the other side of it. When you lose, they often keep what you lost. And you're learning with your real savings on the line.

Prop firms profit when you fail.

Prop firms profit when you fail and try again. Most aren't built to help you pass: unclear rules, no real development tools, and pass rates they won't publish. The challenge is their product.

E8 profits when you learn.

Rules designed to protect you from one bad day. Tools that show you what you're doing wrong and how to fix it. $74M+ paid out across 18,900+ withdrawals — and we publish our pass rate. The longer you stay and the better you get, the better we do. That's the whole idea.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure – CFTC Rule 4.41

Simulated or hypothetical trading results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records, they do not reflect real trading activity, they may under- or over-compensate for market factors such as liquidity, and they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will, or is likely to, achieve profits or losses similar to those displayed or referenced.

Evaluation Disclaimer

The evaluation program's customer pass rate from January 1, 2023, to March 1, 2024, was 17.7%, for those who traded at least once during this period and obtained an E8 Trader Account. The Evaluation and E8 Trader accounts aim to simulate trading under real market conditions as closely as possible, including commissions and spreads. However, the evaluation is challenging and may not be suitable for individuals with limited or no trading experience.

Customer Compensation Disclosure

Compensation presented for customer trades should be regarded as hypothetical. Such performances are not indicative of, and should not be expected to replicate, a live trading account. E8 Trader Accounts represent simulated trading environments. Testimonials and payout information may not be representative of other clients' or customers' experiences and should not be viewed as guarantees of future performance or success.
