Head to head · 33 criteria compared On the 33 criteria we compare, E8 Markets comes out ahead (5 against 3). My Funded Futures stays relevant for traders whose priorities differ from the average.
Every E8 Markets product is now single-phase: a 6% target, withdrawals available from day three, and a split running from 80% to 100%. The trade-offs are a 35-40% consistency rule, no scaling plan, and a Trustpilot rating suspended in August 2026 for a breach of the platform's guidelines.
Criteria won: 5 / 33
Launched in late 2023 in Delaware, My Funded Futures posts the highest customer satisfaction in our futures database, at 4.9/5 across more than 21,000 reviews. Its four plans share a 6 % target and an end-of-day trailing drawdown that locks above the starting balance. The notable trade-off: over 80 countries are excluded.

Choose E8 Markets if… Choose My Funded Futures if… E8 Markets keeps 100 % of profits, then pays On demand (daily on E8 Pro; minimum $100). My Funded Futures keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 1 days, then pays Rapid: every 24 h (minimum $500); Builder: every 48 h; Pro: 14-day cycle (minimum $1,000, capped at $100,000 per cycle). Payout frequency deserves as much attention as the split itself: a slightly lower share paid every two weeks compounds faster than a headline percentage locked behind a monthly cycle and a long first-withdrawal delay.
E8 Markets is the only one of the two to offer mt5, ctrader, tradelocker, match-trader. My Funded Futures covers ninjatrader, tradovate, tradingview, quantower, volumetrica, which its rival does not. Platform choice is not cosmetic: order execution, available order types and the reliability of your automation all depend on it, and switching mid-evaluation is rarely possible.
E8 Markets has been running since 2021, 2 years longer than My Funded Futures. Our trust pillar scores them 74/100 and 83/100, which weighs age, corporate transparency and public payout evidence. In an industry with no financial regulator overseeing these evaluations, longevity and a verifiable payout history are the closest thing to a guarantee.
E8 Markets does not publish a clear drawdown model. My Funded Futures applies a trailing (end of day) drawdown capped at 4 %. This is the single most consequential difference between the two. A static drawdown is measured once, from the starting balance, and never moves; a trailing drawdown follows your equity upward, so a winning streak raises the floor you can no longer fall below. Intraday trailing is stricter still, because it tracks unrealised peaks reached inside the session — profit you never actually banked can permanently raise your loss threshold.
