Futures Review
7.5 out of 10
The short answer
E8 Futures scores 7.1, placing it mid-table in our futures ranking. The terms are competitive: no activation fee on any plan, an end-of-day trailing drawdown throughout, daily payouts with a $100 minimum on several plans, and a $25,000 account at $82.50 one-time.
How the 7.5 adds up
Weighted to 7.5 using our published weightings. Challenge Rules, Payout Reliability and Cost carry 20 percent each, Platform and Transparency 15 percent each, Support 10 percent.
Plans and pricing
The Plans
E8 Futures sells ten variations of a one-step evaluation. Every one uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown, none charges an activation fee, and all pay an 80 percent split. What changes between them is the payout ceiling, the consistency rule and how quickly you can withdraw.
| Plan | Target | Max loss | Contracts | Max payout | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25K | $1,500 | $1,000 | 2 minis | $1,000 | $82.50 |
| $50K | $3,000 | $1,500 | 4 minis | $1,000 or $3,000 | $115.70 to $213.20 |
| $100K | $6,500 | $3,000 | 8 minis | $1,600 or $5,000 | $180.70 to $382.20 |
| $100K alt | $6,000 | $4,000 | 8 minis | $2,250 | $195.00 |
| $150K | $9,000 | $6,000 | 12 minis | $3,250 | $292.50 |
Two payout structures run in parallel. The daily plans pay out daily with a $100 minimum and apply a 40 percent consistency rule during the evaluation but none once funded. The benchmark plans require five profitable days of 0.3 percent or more, apply no consistency rule during the evaluation but 35 percent once funded, and allow a first payout in three days with the five-day rule waived for it.
Choosing between them is a real decision rather than a pricing tier. If you want money out quickly and often, the daily plans do that but constrain how you pass. If you would rather trade the evaluation without a consistency rule, the benchmark plans allow it and then impose 35 percent on the funded account.
Target-to-drawdown ratios sit between 1:0.46 and 1:0.67, so on most plans you must make roughly twice what you are allowed to lose. That is demanding by category standards and it is the main thing tempering the Challenge Rules score.
Our verdict: 7.5 out of 10
E8 Futures is a separate business from the E8 Markets CFD challenge, established in December 2024 in the United States under chief executive Dylan Elchami. It runs one-step evaluations from $25,000 to $200,000, charges no activation fee, uses an end-of-day trailing drawdown, and pays daily on several plans with a $100 minimum.
It is reviewed apart from E8 Markets because the two have different evidence behind them. The CFD business holds 4.3 from 3,273 Trustpilot reviews. E8 Futures has no Trustpilot profile at all and 20 reviews on Prop Firm Match. Our previous futures score was borrowing the CFD record, and this one does not.
The structural weakness is the target-to-drawdown ratio. On most plans you have to make around twice what you are permitted to lose, which is a harder shape than the category norm and does more to determine whether you pass than any other rule here.
The bigger constraint is evidence. E8 Futures has no Trustpilot profile and 20 reviews on Prop Firm Match, against a parent CFD business with 3,273 Trustpilot reviews and $69 million in stated payouts. Those belong to a different product. We previously scored the futures listing 7.5, which quietly leaned on the CFD record, and 7.1 is what the futures product supports on its own.
This is a reasonable firm to try at the $82.50 entry price if daily payouts suit you. It is not yet a firm anyone can verify from outside, and that is the difference between 7.1 and the score the parent brand would earn.

The Evidence Problem
E8 Futures has no Trustpilot profile. Prop Firm Match lists it as not available, and its own review record there is 20 reviews at 4.7, made up of 14 five-star and 6 four-star ratings with nothing below.
A clean 4.7 is a good sign as far as it goes, and Prop Firm Match records no payout delays. Twenty reviews is not enough to weigh against a firm that has been trading for a year, and our scoring caps transparency where an independent record is this thin. Transparency scores 6.2 for that reason, and Support 6.5.
This matters more than usual here because the parent brand has a substantial record: E8 Markets holds 4.3 from 3,273 Trustpilot reviews and has paid out more than $69 million since 2021 on the CFD side. None of that is evidence about the futures product, and reading it across is exactly the mistake our previous score of 7.5 made.
Platforms
E8 Futures offers TradingView and Tradovate. Both are real futures platforms and Tradovate is a full broker, frontend and data feed in one, so a trader is not left without infrastructure.
Two options is narrow for the category, though. The Trading Pit Futures offers twelve platforms across DXFeed and Rithmic, and Blue Guardian Futures offers seven. If you run order flow through Jigsaw, Sierra Chart, Quantower or ATAS, E8 Futures does not connect to them.
Platform and Execution scores 7.0 on that basis: adequate infrastructure, limited choice.
Futures traders who want daily payouts with a low $100 minimum, who are content on TradingView or Tradovate, and who do not need a long track record before funding an account.
You want to check a firm’s payout record independently before paying, because E8 Futures has no Trustpilot profile and fewer than two dozen reviews anywhere. Also look elsewhere if you use order-flow tooling beyond TradingView and Tradovate.
Plans, pricing, targets, drawdown type, contract limits, consistency rules and payout terms read from the E8 Futures profile and challenge tables on Prop Firm Match on 8 September 2026, not from the firm’s own site, which is unreachable from our connection. The 4.7 from 20 reviews is Prop Firm Match’s own review system; Prop Firm Match records E8 Futures as having no Trustpilot profile. Because we could not verify these terms against the firm’s own published rules, treat the figures as second-hand and confirm them at checkout before you pay.
