E8 Markets vs Tradeify, round by round

The five things that decide whether a funded account works for you, in the order you live them.

Round 1Tradeify

Cost to get funded

The price after the discount code, plus any activation fee. Most traders fail at least once, so the cheaper account is also cheaper to try again.

How it is scored: Lower all-in price wins
E8 Markets$136
Tradeify$87

Tradeify costs $87 all-in, $49 less than E8 Markets at $136.

Round 2Tie

Room to trade

The drawdown is the line that ends the account. A line that moves less, with more room under it, means a normal pullback does not blow the account.

How it is scored: Static beats end-of-day beats intraday, then more room wins
E8 Markets
End-of-Day
$2,000 of room
Tradeify
End-of-Day
$2,000 of room

Both use an end-of-day drawdown, which only moves when the trading day closes, and both let you lose $2,000 before the account fails.

Round 3Tradeify

Rules that can end it

These are the rules that fail accounts or hold back payouts even when you are in profit. Fewer tripwires, fewer ways to lose the account.

How it is scored: Fewer of these rules wins

Tradeify has 2 of these rules. E8 Markets adds a payout buffer.

Round 4E8 Markets

Speed to first payout

Days from buying the account to asking for your first payout, if everything goes right.

How it is scored: Fewer days wins
E8 Markets4 days
Tradeify6 days

E8 Markets can pay you after 4 days at the earliest: 1 day to pass, then 3 profitable days to the first payout. Tradeify takes 6: 1 day to pass, then 5 profitable days to the first payout.

Round 5Tradeify

Payday

The most one payout can put in your pocket: the payout cap times your share. A high split means little if the cap is low.

How it is scored: More money from one payout wins
E8 Markets$1,00080% split
Tradeify$1,35090% split

Tradeify: up to $1,500 a payout at 90%, so $1,350 to you. E8 Markets: up to $1,250 a payout at 80%, so $1,000 to you.

E8 Markets vs Tradeify FAQ

Q1

Is E8 Markets better than Tradeify?

No. For the accounts compared here, Tradeify wins more of the five rounds that matter to a funded trader: cost, room to trade, rules, payout speed and payday. The better pick still depends on what you need most, so the verdict lists what each account is best for.
Q2

What is the difference between E8 Markets and Tradeify?

E8 Markets has a payout buffer and Tradeify does not. Each round on this card explains one difference in plain words. The card on this page shows both accounts round by round, with every discount applied. Swap either account at the top of the page to compare a different size or plan.
Q3

Which is cheaper, E8 Markets or Tradeify?

Is E8 Markets or Tradeify better for beginners?

Q5

Which pays out faster, E8 Markets or Tradeify?

Neither: E8 Markets and Tradeify both use an end-of-day drawdown, which only moves when the trading day closes, with the same room before the account fails, for the accounts compared here. The drawdown ends more accounts than any other rule, so it matters more than the profit target.
Q7

Does E8 Markets or Tradeify have a consistency rule?

Yes. Both E8 Markets and Tradeify have a consistency rule on the accounts compared here, which caps how much of your profit one day can carry. The rules round on the card shows whether it applies to passing, to payouts, or to both. What a consistency rule is is explained in the glossary.
Q8

Is there a discount code for E8 Markets and Tradeify?

Yes. Code SOPF works at both E8 Markets and Tradeify, and every price on this page already has it applied. The code pages for E8 Markets and Tradeify list every current offer, with the date each one was last checked. Codes change often, so check them before you buy.
