What are prohibited trading strategies?
Updated over 2 months ago

All-or-nothing Trading:

Risking your entire account balance on a single trade is not permitted. Excessively risky trading styles violate our terms and will result in account termination with a full refund.

Hedging Policies:

Hedging across multiple accounts, even those belonging to the same trader, is strictly prohibited. Hedging, which involves opening opposing positions on the same asset, undermines fair trading and disrupts the integrity of our platform.

Use of Expert Advisors (EAs):

You can use any EA (Expert Advisor) as long as we don't see multiple users executing the same trades/strategy. We limit one strategy per user, so if we see multiple users utilize the same EA, it may lead to the termination of your account. So even though the use of third-party EA is allowed, we recommend that each user use their own programmed EA. Be also aware of the server request limitation which is 2000 (modifications of TP/SL, orders modifications). The maximum position limit per day is 2000 as well.

Irresponsible Trading in Simulated Accounts:

Executing large-volume trades without a coherent strategy or disregarding fundamental market analysis and risk management practices is considered an abuse of the simulated environment. This behavior will be penalized as it does not provide viable trading data.

Evaluation Completion and Account Management

Individual Evaluation Completion:


Each trading evaluation must be completed independently. Copying trades—manually or via EAs—from one account to another, including from a master account to an evaluation account, is prohibited. This rule applies to both the trades and underlying trade ideas.

Account Management After Evaluation: ​

Upon successful evaluation, you may trade up to $400,000 in E8 Trader accounts. You also may copy trades from E8 Trader accounts to one E8 Evaluation and vice versa.

You may use a Trade Copier, however, you need to be able to prove you are the owner of the accounts you are copying trades between.
