Today Asian Session update. Officially trailing drawdown stops on 10 accounts (need to trade 5 more days) and 5 accounts (need to trade 6 more days) are 600$ away. After my calculation this payout cycle i.e 15th-20th april i'll be requesting 2000$ from 15 accounts i.e 30k. Fingers crossed Btw i am only playing with max 2-3 contracts on these funded accounts {image}

Yes, monthly. First month = 17,50 USD, every recurring month = 175 USD.

"
we're introducing a new rule designed to enhance responsible trading and minimize unnecessary risks during our E8 Trader Stage. It's well-known that high-impact news frequently trigger significant market volatility. This heightened volatility can make it difficult to manage risk effectively and stay within your drawdown limits.

Therefore, effective immediately, traders are prohibited from opening or closing trades 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after listed high-impact news release. This 20-minute window will help safeguard you against potentially unpredictable market movements.

"Hi, we're introducing a new rule to reduce our risk toward you. You can still blow your accs on news but if you guess the direction or know what you're doing you wont be earning any profits"


There, E8, I fixed it for you.

Is anyone even still using E8?

Want to share which are the ones you're still working on ? It would be interesting to know because I'm aware of all the problems you had with some props and that you're a bit aggressive. So I would say the props you're working on passed those "stress tests" and are proven ones, specially for a low radar guy like me.

I'm fine if you don't want to share.

After almost an year, I blew a challenge with them recently. Slippage is still high (not important for me but for frequent traders may be a problem).

Sounds that the news rule is coming back. I feel myself returning to 2020 when I started with FTMO.

I'm always in doubt if the rule violates the account of if they "just" deduct the profits made.

I agree. generally on this thread at least, its only one person experiencing payout issues, certainly more here are claiming to get paid than are getting denied. That's not to slight monty at all, but there's still money to be made in fx props despite the negative fx/positive futures skew this thread is taking.

Which firms are you using at the moment Vitore?

About the E8 prohibition of news. It can be considered a violation of the account if they want, which means a TP hit during news is bye bye to the funded account, even if the trade is running for 3 days.
It's the worse version of the rule. Some props "only" forfeit profits.

Prohibited Actions
During the prohibition period, users are prohibited from:
a. Opening new trades (Market Execution/Limit orders).
b. Stop/Loss and Take/Profit
c. Buy Stop and Sell Stop

Please note, that if your Stop Loss or Take Profit orders are executed within the 20-minute period (10 Minutes before and 10 minutes after) immediately before or after the event, this will lead to removal of the positions and may also be considered a breach of the terms and conditions.

All non-targeted instruments can be traded without any restrictions.

Yes, but this guy live streams his trades. You can trade right along with him. H eliterally goes in, grabs around 20 points on a mini NAS copied accross 20 accounts.

First month is 90% off and if you don't pass within 1 month, it's 175/month. If you don't pass, just terminate the account. They always have 90% discounts.

Once you pass, you can pay a one off or monthly fee. One-off is cheaper as long as you don't blow the account within 1 month.

A couple of hours after announcing +/- 10min news and crude inventories counting for USD pairs, now they decreased to 5min and crude inventories don't affect USD any longer.

And Dylan always bragging that E8 makes the moves slowly and after deep thought. What a joke from E8.

Right now I'm only with FXIFY and Funded Engineer

I lost accounts I had with Funding Pips, Swift Funding and The Trading Pit. I don't plan to do any more evaluations with the first two though they were ok and both paid me more than once without issues. So I consider them safe. The last one is closed for me for my aggressive trading style but otherwise they were one of the bests and paid me many times without any issues or delays.
