About E8 I'll do a review when I find some time but I can confirm that they paid the profit split + refund fee (all together) after only 8 days since I started funded account. From then on it's biweekly. And money of the profit split is not deducted from the account which means now I have 9% (and not 8%) over that amount as max loss. The increase of 8% to 9% I think it's because they add 1% for each withdraw. What I notice in E8 is that I always get slippage 0.1 or 0.2 pips even if's 2 or 3 lots in EURUSD. At least when entering the position clicking...
The growing total DD (8-14%) and the continuous scale up (all profit added to the balance with every profit split) are two great features no one else offers. Sadly, the slippage and commissions are pretty bad

And the max is 300K which is bad.
If we have a 250K then it's not worth (for me) to spend my time with a 50K challenge/funded account.

true, 2x250 would be so much better. The scale up is easier and you can reach 300k almost with the same effort as doing the extra 50k challenge

Is the new dd after withdrawal the original 8% max dd + the amount you withdraw or it starts over at 9% from the new higher balance amount?

ex. 100k account, make and withdraw 10%, is your new bottom equity 101k, or still 92k, or 91k?

10% off balance I believe.

9% over the new balance.

So, you start with 100K and max loss is 92K (8%)
You make 2K profit and you withdraw 1.6K (80% profit).
After withdraw balance stays at 102K.
And the new max loss is 9% over the 102K, which is 92.82K

the DD rule is exactly the same as with any other prop firm only that the % increases by 1% with every profit split until 14% is reached

that is correct.

First timers may blow the account. I did blow in stage 2 challenge.

I stopped challenge with them as better ones are available.

What's "interesting" in them is that we may achieve 14% with a balance of 105K or with a balance of 180K, depending on the amount of profits we made during all the way towards the 14%.
And that "final" balance when we achieve 14% is determining what's the max loss. It's very different is we have 105K or 180K.

Every trader there will have different limits.

Are you sure? I assumed it's 14% of the "starting" account balance which keeps increasing as long as you generate profit. So with every profit split, when the account balance updates, you get a new "starting" account balance and a new total DD as 14% of that balance (when you have reached that 14% level). Or?
It would make a little sense to trade 1M account with DD of 14% calculated from eg. 280k only

Seeing a lot of reports of TFF banning people who are making decent profits. One is on trustpilot rn. Now I feel uncertain of my accounts I'm about to pass.

There's a discussion about it on their Discord. Seems related to the prohibited strategies, which TFF defines as:

"Tick scalping, arbitrage bots – reverse arbitrage – latency arbitrage – hedge arbitrage or any emulators are prohibited."

But what exactly those means is a question as there's no exact definition other than this

Well, I received a payout, they didn't deduct the money from the balance and the 9% is now over that balance.
So I guess that if you have a balance of 180K of accumulated profits that you received 80%, the 14% will be over 180K. It's same logic.

Yes, that how I meant it. So when the 180K further grows to eg. 200K, then 220K, and 240K, your respective DDs would be 14% over 200K, then 14% over 220K and finally 14% over 240K.

No complains as far as I can see, but they discuss validity of Trustpilot reviews and prohibited strategies. So I assume they might relate. Didn't read the whole discussion

In trust pilot, I saw few complaining about EA use and payment refusal. That is rare, as I see lots of people getting payouts as in Discord.
