Firm Rules
How E8 Futures treats the trading practices that most often trip traders up. Always confirm the specifics in the firm's own rulebook before you trade.
Automated trading (EAs, bots & copy trading)
Whether you can run expert advisors, algorithmic bots, or copy trades between accounts. Policies vary widely — some firms allow personal automation, others ban it outright.
- Copy trading allowed
- Yes
- Expert advisors / automated bots
- Not permitted
News trading
Trading through high-impact news releases. Some firms allow it freely, some restrict it during the evaluation, and some prohibit holding through major scheduled news on funded accounts.
- News trading (evaluation)
- Allowed
- News trading (funded)
- Must flatten positions 2 minutes before Tier 1 news events
Overnight & weekend holding
Whether positions can be held past the daily close or over the weekend. Many futures firms require flat positions before a daily cutoff, especially on evaluation accounts.
- Overnight/weekend holding
- Not permitted — positions auto-close at 15:10 CT
