Eightcap Challenges
Read plan by plan on 4 August, and the finding is an absence: across twelve saved pages this firm publishes no loss limit, no profit target, no minimum trading days, no payout schedule and no challenge contract. The word drawdown appears zero times in all twelve. The single block it heads Condiciones carries the account range, the entry fee, a split ceiling, the duration, an instrument count, two paid add-ons and a platform list — eight rows, and not one of them is a limit. The legal index does not fill the gap: its own opening line scopes every document there to opening "una cuenta de trading real", and none of its four jurisdictions publishes a challenge rulebook. Four legal entities are named on these pages, three of them with a regulator and a licence number, and which one sells you the challenge is never said.
It sells three products — "Menos pasos de evaluación para que empieces a operar antes." (Una Fase), "La experiencia clásica con una capa adicional de evaluación" (Dos Fases) and "Desafíos personalizables de una hora" (Desafíos para Day Traders) — and only the first two are graded here. The Day Trader challenge has a dedicated page in the site menu that we did not archive, so not one of its blanks is charged to the firm. The conditions that ARE published cannot be attributed to a plan either: the three products are tabs of one component and only the default panel survived, so the account range, the entry fee and the "Reparto de beneficios Hasta el 90%" ceiling belong to no card in particular. That is not pedantry — the same block says "Sin límites de tiempo" while one of the three products it might describe is sold as a one-hour challenge, so attributing it would publish a sentence that is false of a sibling. Two corrections to this row, both from the reading: it used to grade the drawdown static, and the firm publishes no drawdown rule at all; and it used to name Eightcap International Ltd as the entity you contract with for Challenges, which no page we read says.
Not enough published data to simulate this firm’s floor.
We read this firm plan by plan, and its numbers are published — they live in the derived evidence on its card, not in the five-axis sieve the tiers are ranked on. The grade here is the evidence itself: three answers and a payment-promise score, each computed from the firm’s own documents with a citation behind every input. What it does not have is the hand-written scorecard a tier requires.

Sold on one sentence and nothing else: fewer evaluation steps, so you start trading sooner. No daily limit, no total limit, no target and no minimum days are published anywhere, at either stage, so a buyer cannot know what closes the account before paying — nor whether the rule changes when the account is handed over.
The same silence, over three stages instead of two, because its own tagline concedes an extra layer of evaluation. It is also the card the page treats worst: the Condiciones block never appears under it at all, so this product is sold with a name, a badge and one sentence.

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.
0/5
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.
0/5
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.

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.

The market
Do your orders reach a market, or is all of it a simulation?
What the funded account issimulated, with no route to real capital0/4
“Elige tu desafío de trading simulado.”The question that separates a firm that earns when you lose from one that earns when you last.
Conditions to reach a real marketNo such thing in this plan.—
“Elige tu desafío de trading simulado.”Promising a route to a real market without publishing the conditions is promising nothing.
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.
We read the rules of every plan it sells and issued a verdict on each one.
