E8 Markets vs FundingPips
E8 Markets
FundingPips
Computed verdict
There isn't a current verified offer on both firms, so we don't call a cost winner. On the overall score, E8 Markets comes out ahead (83 vs 70).
The verdict is computed from verified data and recomputes when the data changes. It is not an opinion and no commercial arrangement alters it. Methodology
Rule by rule
The trailing drawdown rises only on CLOSED profits (equity never moves it) and locks at the initial balance once you gain the drawdown amount; Pro uses a static 8% and Signature an EOD trail of $1,000–$4,500 by size. E8 One's default max drawdown is contested between two of E8's own help articles — 6% (customisable 4–14% at checkout) in one, 4% in the other — so check the figure on your own checkout and, until you have, trade to 4%.
The daily limit is a % of the HIGHER of the day's opening balance or equity (a big overnight floating gain raises your floor), and max loss is static except on Zero, whose 5% trailing line locks at breakeven.
A hard daily limit (fixed dollars off initial balance) of 3% on One and 2.5% on Pro that permanently closes the account on an equity or balance touch; Signature only has a soft 2% pause in the Performance stage. E8's own pages disagree on the One figure: the product article says 3% while the Dynamic Drawdown article puts the default at 4% — unresolved, and we publish both.
Hard daily limit of 3–5% by model on the higher of opening balance or equity — an equity touch closes the account instantly, even with the trade still open.
A best-day rule only in the funded stage: your top day can't exceed 40% (One) or 35% (Signature) of total profit when requesting a payout — the payout is merely deferred, the account survives; Pro has none.
Three distinct mechanisms: a 35% score for On-Demand payouts, a 15% best-day cap on Zero, and a concentration policy imposing a permanent 4-profitable-day gate if one trade idea exceeds 60% of the target.
Single phase: $4,500 (9%) target, no minimum days; $3,000 (6%) max drawdown, $2,000 (4%) daily.
Two phases: 8% ($4,000) and 5% ($2,500), minimum 3 days; 10% ($5,000) max overall loss, 5% daily.
First payout from just 3 days into the funded stage (daily on Pro and Zero), at an 80/90/100% split chosen at purchase and paid via Rise or WorkMarket, subject to the best-day rule.
You trade split for cadence: 60% weekly, 80% bi-weekly, 90% on-demand (behind the 35% consistency gate) or 100% monthly, with the first payout 7 days after your first trade.
$50K E8 One: $288 at the configurator default of 6% maximum drawdown and 80% split — the price moves with those settings. What code E8 takes off is disputed between E8's own pages: their discount page says 10%, which is $259, while the configurator applies 25%, which is $216. We show both and do not pick. "No Activation Fee" is E8's own wording; no monthly fee is documented.
$100K 2-Step Standard: one-time $529 — the nearest size we could verify, because FundingPips' price pages did not serve to us. We publish no $50K figure. No monthly fee and no activation fee; the registration fee is refunded at your 4th reward on 1-Step and 2-Step Standard Master accounts, but not on Pro, Flex or Zero.
