Loading...E8 Markets and Top One Futures both charge $105 for their $50K challenge, removing cost as a deciding factor. Since the fee is identical, your choice should hinge on what happens after you pay — the rules, the profit split, and how each firm handles funded traders. Check available E8 Markets discount codes for additional savings.
The profit split gap is notable. Top One Futures returns 90% of your profits, putting $900 in your pocket for every $1,000 earned. The other firm's 80% split means you would receive $800 on that same amount — a $100 per-thousand difference that scales with every payout.
E8 Markets does not enforce a daily loss limit while Top One Futures caps daily losses at $1,250. These operational differences can shape your day-to-day experience, particularly if your strategy depends on volatility around economic releases or requires more intraday flexibility.
