E8 Markets vs FXIFY
E8 Markets
FXIFY
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%.
A 4–10% trailing drawdown by program off the closed-balance high that locks at the starting balance once you gain that percentage or request your first payout — withdrawing all profit leaves you with zero buffer. On the 1-Phase, FXIFY's own pages disagree: two rules FAQs say 6%, the how-it-works page says 10% trailing. Size to 6%.
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.
A 3–5% daily limit by program based on the previous day's balance; the standard Instant account's is in documented conflict between 'none' and '8%'.
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.
Standard programs document no consistency rule; Lightning caps your best day at 30% of total profits and Instant Lite at 20%, withholding the payout (not the account) until met.
Single phase: $4,500 (9%) target, no minimum days; $3,000 (6%) max drawdown, $2,000 (4%) daily.
Phase 1 8% ($4,000), Phase 2 5% ($2,500), minimum 4 days each; static 10% ($5,000) max overall loss. Lightning plan: FXIFY's Lightning FAQ gives 5 trading days to hit the target; its how-it-works page says 7. Plan on 5.
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.
First payout on demand after your first closed trade on the live account, then monthly (or bi-weekly with an add-on), at up to a 90% split — the base without add-ons is unpublished — with the fee 100% refunded at first payout.
$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.
FXIFY's per-size price grids did not render on the pages we fetched, so we publish no $50K figure. The one price we confirmed first-hand is One Phase $5K at $250; the firm also advertises Lightning "from as low as $59", Instant "From $69" and Instant Lite "From $19". The evaluation fee is described as 100% refundable with your first payout. We found no activation fee but could not confirm its absence, and the ~20% codes in circulation come from affiliates, not from FXIFY's own pages.
