Our analysis
Getting paid
E8 Markets keeps 100 % of profits, then pays A la demande (quotidien sur E8 Pro ; minimum 100 $). My Funded Futures keeps 90 % of profits, allows a first withdrawal after 1 days, then pays Rapid : toutes les 24 h (minimum 500 $) ; Builder : toutes les 48 h ; Pro : cycle de 14 jours (minimum 1 000 $, plafond 100 000 $ par 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.
Tooling differences
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.
How much history each firm has
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.
How the loss limit behaves
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.
