E8 Markets Perpetuals

E8 Perpetuals is the name used here for the Perpetual Futures market on E8 Markets' own E8 Terminal, rather than a separate company or brand. It replaced the firm's former Crypto market, runs on a Hyperliquid data feed, and spans crypto, equity, index and metals perpetuals. Trading is exclusive to E8 Terminal, with perps unavailable on MT5, cTrader, TradeLocker or MatchTrader, and it is sold through two 1-step products, E8 One and E8 Pro, alongside the firm's Classic Markets. E8 Perpetuals sits inside what the firm calls its SimFi environment: the data is real and the capital is not, and no real funds are deployed on a trader's behalf at any point. A purchase of E8 Pro is described as access to an educational trading simulation and skill assessment.

Funding is present on all Hyperliquid assets on E8 Perpetuals, and the firm says spreads and funding rates behave as they would in a live environment, likening funding to swap fees. Its help pages read do not say whether funding feeds into the drawdown calculations. Fees follow Hyperliquid at 0.045% taker and 0.015% maker on crypto, and 0.009% taker and 0.003% maker on stocks, indices, gold and oil, charged on notional value. Leverage on the perpetual market is the same across challenge and performance stages: 1:15 on Bitcoin and Ethereum, 1:2 on other crypto, 1:5 on stocks, 1:15 on indices, metals and energy, and 1:25 on forex.

E8 Pro is the fixed path: an 8% profit target, an 8% static drawdown from the initial balance, a 2.5% daily drawdown and a daily profit cap under which only 2% of profit counts toward the target each day, on accounts from $5K at a listed $32 up to $500K at $2,598. After the first payout its drawdown locks at the initial balance. E8 One is the configurable route, with drawdown from 4% to 14%, a profit target of 6% to 21%, a daily drawdown of 3% to 9.2%, and list prices from $48 for $5K to $1,998 for $500K. Its dynamic drawdown differs from a standard trailing drawdown because the loss level only rises when profits are closed, so floating gains on a held perp do not move it. Neither challenge has a minimum number of trading days.

Payouts split the two E8 Perpetuals routes further. E8 Pro advertises no consistency rule, yet its 2% cap still applies on the performance account. E8 Pro allows a daily request once profit reaches 1%, with half of total profits set aside as the requestable amount and the rest kept as a buffer, and an 80% or, as a paid add-on, 100% payout. E8 One offers 80%, 90% or 100% chosen at checkout and on-demand payouts from 3 days into the performance stage, but a 40% consistency rule capping any single day's share of total profit applies there and not in the challenge. Weekend holding is allowed on both, EAs are allowed on both, and trade copiers are named on E8 Pro. News trading is unrestricted on E8 Pro, while E8 One allows it during the challenge stage but prohibits trading on targeted instruments from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after high-impact news on the Performance account.
