E8 Markets is the trading brand of E8 Funding LLC, based in Dallas, Texas. Dylan Elchami leads the firm, which launched in 2021 as one of the earlier US funded trader challenge companies. It is not a licensed broker. Traders pay a one time evaluation fee for a shot at a simulated funded account, not a real brokerage deposit.
Account sizes run from $5,000 up to $500,000 on forex, up to $200,000 on crypto, and $25,000 to $150,000 on futures. The base profit split is 80 percent, with 90 or 100 percent available as a paid upgrade. E8 blocks many countries outright, including Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Syria, plus limits which account types some other countries can buy.
On Trustpilot, E8 holds a strong 4.3 out of 5 from over 3,000 reviews, and the firm reports paying traders more than $68,000,000 total. Real complaints exist too, including payout denials tied to consistency rule breaches and one account where a claimed breach cut a payout to a fraction of the balance owed.
