E8 Markets, originally established as E8 Funding in 2021, is a prominent US-based proprietary trading firm that specializes in trader evaluation through a simulated markets model, distinguishing itself from traditional funding companies to focus on innovation and sophisticated trading tools. The company’s core business is to sell access to multi-step virtual challenges where traders use demo accounts with simulated capital, utilizing platforms like MetaTrader 5, Match Trader, cTrader, and TradeLocker to demonstrate consistent profitability and adherence to strict risk management protocols.
