Safe position: the biggest trade that survives a normal day, at $100K (or the smallest size sold).
How big can you trade safely?
The biggest trade that survives one normal day going against you.
Biggest safe trade on EUR/USD4.3 standard lots1 lot = 100,000 euros · worth $490,998 in total
- Room to lose today$3,000
- A normal day moves0.611%
- So the most you can hold$490,998
Hold more than this and a normal day against you would break the daily loss limit. (Leverage of 1:30 would let you open up to $3,000,000.)

Who you are dealing with
Easier rules do not make a better firm. This is what E8 Markets publishes about itself — the company whose terms you accept, where it is registered, and what its record is worth. Every line comes from E8 Markets’ own pages and is produced by the same test applied to every firm here.

“E8 Funding LLC is a technology and education company incorporated under the laws of the United States, located at 4101 McEwen Rd #205, Dallas, TX 75244.”
E8 describes itself as a technology and education company rather than a trading firm. Its site now answers automated requests with a bot check, so this is the wording recorded when its rules were last checked.
What that adds up to
- !Publishes no company registration numberE8 Funding LLC is named as the company behind the service, but without a registration number it cannot be looked up in any public register.

SimFi™ Trading Platform — 150+ Markets, US Based · E8Markets - +Publishes 14 of 14 gold rules we look forEvery rule this site checks for is published on the firm's own pages, which no other firm here manages.
These are tests, not opinions: the thresholds are written down in the code and applied to every firm identically, so they cannot be tuned per company. How they work. Nothing here is looked up in a companies register or a regulator's database — what a firm publishes about itself is the thing being compared.
