E8 Markets Review: The Easiest Prop Firm?
Last updated: July 2026 | 6 min read
E8 Markets offers 8% daily drawdown (vs FTMO's 5%), unlimited time, and EA support. Here's my full review.
The Challenge Structure
| Rule | E8 Standard | E8 Express |
|---|---|---|
| Profit Target | 10% + 5% | 12% (one phase) |
| Daily Loss | 8% | 8% |
| Total Loss | 12% | 12% |
| Min Days | 5 | 5 |
| Time Limit | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Why E8 Is Easier
- 8% daily drawdown — 3% more room than FTMO
- Unlimited time — no 30-day pressure
- 1:100 leverage — more margin flexibility
- EA & copy trading — fully allowed
Downsides
- Newer firm (2021) — less proven than FTMO
- Forex + CFDs only (no futures)
- Slower customer support
- Payouts take 7-14 business days
My Experience
Bought Standard Challenge (). Passed in 38 days. Phase 2 took 22 days. Funded for 2 months, made ,200 profit, withdrew .
