Watch Out For
ALL automation banned
Semi-automated, fully-automated, AI tools, and trading bots are all prohibited. HFT threshold is 300+ trades per day.
Profitable days reset after each payout
Your 5 profitable day count resets to zero every time you request a payout. Must re-earn 5 qualifying days (0.3%+ each).
Copy Trading Contradiction
E8's Signature product page states copy trading across own accounts is allowed, but the separate Trading Policies page explicitly bans all copy trading. We display the restrictive reading (banned). Verify directly with E8 support before relying on copy trading.
50% of trades must be held 1+ minute
To avoid high-frequency trading (HFT) behaviors, you cannot hold more than 50% of your trades for under one minute. This is in addition to the existing 10-second/10-tick scalping rule.
