E8 Markets generates revenue in three primary ways:
1. Educational Simulation Access (fees)
Users pay a fee to access our simulated trading environment, which includes:
Market simulations
Challenge programs
Guardrails, Risk rules, and performance metrics
Educational tools and analytics
Users are paying for a simulation - similar to a flight simulator, coding bootcamp, or professional exam/skill assessment. The ultimate goal is to help traders develop skills and prepare for live markets.
2. Data, Research & Analytics (Internal Use)
When users trade in the simulation, they generate behavioral and performance data.
That data helps us:
Improve the platform
Build better Challenge systems
Research trading behavior and risk management
Develop internal analytics and models
3. Proprietary Trading (Company Capital Only)
Separately from the simulation platform, an affiliated entity may engage in proprietary trading using company's own capital.
This trading uses company-owned funds only
No user money is involved
No trades are copied
No profits from proprietary trading are shared with users
Users do not influence execution
