E8 Markets
E8 One is one of the few plans in this study that clears every bar: the loss level trails to the starting balance, freezes there, does not change when funded, and carries no clause moving it after a payout. What keeps the firm out of the top tier is that its other lines do the opposite — E8 Pro deletes anything earned above 2% in a day and raises the loss level after the first payout, deleting the buffer.
That post-payout clause lives in the payout policy rather than the rules page — the most reliable place in this industry for a good-looking plan to turn bad. No legal entity is named anywhere. The 35% and 40% best-day rules on the other plans only delay a payout; they never fail an account or reduce the amount.
Crossed one of the seven hard bars. Open the row and it names which one, with the mechanism spelled out. This is not a low grade — no quantity of virtue elsewhere buys it off, which is why it carries no rank at all.

Trustpilot: fabricated-reviews warning
Trustpilot withholds the rating and serves a fabricated-reviews warning — a third party concluding the firm faked its own reviews. A low score is not this; every prop firm has angry traders. This is separate from having no legal entity: a firm can publish its registration number and still be caught doing it.
Scorecard
12Trails on daily closes only, then freezes at your starting balance
A named company, but no financial regulator anywhere — or a light-touch one only
Fixed cycle, no cap that binds in practice
Overstates size or speed, but costs you nothing
Reviews suppressed for manipulation, or the firm is gone
Each axis is scored 0–5 against a published scale. The line under each bar is the rung this firm landed on — not our summary of it, the scale entry itself.
The score is published anyway, because it is the honest picture: a firm can be strong on four axes and still be disqualified on one mechanism. A disqualifier is not a low grade — it is a rule we will not trade under at any price.
Plan by plan
The loss level trails to the starting balance and freezes there, unchanged when funded, with no clause moving it after a payout.
Same freeze-at-start mechanism as E8 One, applied to crypto instruments.
A 35% best-day rule delays payout eligibility without failing the account or cutting the amount.
A daily profit cap deletes anything earned above 2% in a day, and the loss level is moved up after the first payout, deleting the buffer.
Excellent risk rules that are dropped entirely when funded, undone by a hard limit of five payouts after which the account is deactivated no matter what is left in it. The version most review sites still publish is the discontinued one, whose fixed drawdown was cancelled by taking a payout.
Trustpilot
score withheld by Trustpilot — this is the figure it computes but will not show
Trustpilot removed reviews it found to be fake and withheld the rating. This is not a low score — it is a third party concluding the firm wrote its own praise.
What this firm published
Everything below is quoted from a page we opened, on the date shown. The quotes are in the firm’s own language, exactly as published — never edited, never shortened, never swapped for a translation. On the Spanish edition our own rendering appears underneath each one, unquoted and marked as ours: the quotation marks on this site mean the words are the firm’s, and nothing we wrote ever wears them. Where we have not read enough to put a number on an axis, we say so instead of guessing.

Can you even pass?
Almost nobody who pays for an evaluation ever reaches a funded account, so this is the part of the product most customers actually buy. Every firm advertises its profit target; none of them advertises that target next to how much you are allowed to lose while chasing it.

Can you keep the money?
The drawdown takes the account away; the payout rules take the money. Answered by whichever of the two we can measure and is worse — they are two ways of losing the same thing, so a good half cannot pay for a bad one.

Is anyone behind it?
A named company, a market, and rules you could read before paying. These three do not substitute for one another — a company you can sue does not stop existing because the account is a simulation — so this is the average of the ones we could measure, not the worst.
We have not read a single plan of this firm, so neither of the two axes that belong to a plan — the floor and the payout path — has anything under it yet.

Almost no firm here has a financial regulator, because selling simulated evaluations is not a regulated activity anywhere. Of the 114 firms we scored by hand, 96 sat in the bottom two rungs of backing for this reason. So we do not count it against anyone — it only adds when a firm genuinely has one.

Almost none names a broker or a clearing house either, and that follows from the account being a simulation rather than being a second, separate failing. Charging for both would count one fact twice.
