Trust score
TrustpilotE8 Perpetuals suits a trader who wants a configurable One plan or a simple static-drawdown Pro plan on a Hyperliquid feed, with weekend holding on perpetuals. Traders keep 80 percent by default and up to 100 percent at checkout, on sizes from 5,000 to 500,000, with One fees from 48 to 1,998 dollars and Pro fees from 28 to 2,469 dollars. Trustpilot hides its score for a guidelines breach, and about 1 in 10 reviews is 1-star across 3,303 reviews. The main catch is payout timing and the Pro buffer: One pays out from day 3, Pro pays daily from as little as 0 days, but only half of shown Pro profit is the payout portion, with the rest held as a buffer.
E8 One Perpetuals is a one-time fee of $288, so the months slider does not change it.

FAQ
Reddit corner
Public Reddit threads about this firm — titles and short paraphrased themes, not full posts.
- Stay away from E8 Markets - full breakdown of how they handled my $500K account payout
Trader with a $500K evaluation says the payout stalled after a risk review and a switch of payment platform mid-process. Commenters advise keeping a paper trail and testing a small payout first.
- sorry but E8 Markets are changing the game AGAIN with this...
Promotional post from an account named after the firm about a new account type. A commenter says the one-step model added trailing drawdown, a consistency score and a payout cap.
- E8 markets worked for me
Positive: a $10K evaluation passed in days and a payout received. The poster later found a withdrawal rule they had missed.
- Anyone have a real E8 Markets review?
Mostly positive from a trader with 10 months and several payouts, with a KYC delay on one account. Other replies call the consistency rule tricky and say index trading is less reliable.
- Anyone have experience with E8 Markets?
One trader says the dashboard does not show real-time account status, which can cause rule breaches. Another advises keeping an independent sheet of balance and open risk.
- E8 Markets Review: Is there any hidden fees, rules & payout issues?
Neutral to positive: replies say they do pay and are genuine, but the drawdown rule is confusing and the dashboard may not sync properly.
- E8 Funding Overview: Good Pricing but Still a Young Firm in 2026?
Asker likes the pricing and 6% maximum drawdown. A commenter says the share of 1-star reviews on Trustpilot is a concern.

Is E8 Perpetuals legit?
E8 Perpetuals is a perpetuals program launched in September 2026 by E8 Funding LLC in Dallas. One-plan payouts are on demand with a first payout in as little as 3 days, while Pro pays daily. Prop firms are not regulated like brokers, so read the buffer and payout rules before you pay, since the headline split does not apply to the full profit on Pro.
- Founded
- Launched in September 2026. The parent brand, E8 Funding, dates to 2021.
- Trustpilot
- No score is shown: the page carries a warning, and the score is hidden. 3,303 reviews in October 2026. The page covers E8 Markets generally, not a Perpetuals-only page.
- Payouts
- E8 One pays on demand, with a first payout in as little as 3 days. E8 Pro pays daily, with a first payout in as little as 0 days. One requires net profit above 50% of the daily drawdown; Pro requires at least 1% of the initial balance in profit since the last payout.
- Watch out for
- Negative reviews mention large payout requests said to remain unpaid, and crypto taker fees turning small winning trades into net losses.
- Our take
- A new program with fast payout paths, weighed against a hidden review score and fee complaints. Prop trading can cost you every fee you pay.
