I expect to see A LOT of discounts coming from FX props to generate interest... The Feb FX prop web traffic stats were an absolute disaster with a lot of props down 35-60%, Funded Engineer was down 45%.

The big winners of the MT4+US ban chaos in Feb was FTMO & Futures props had massive gains.

{quote} The promotions are always rolling, regardless what it was when you bought it. You’re trading today under the current promotion (3 day) regardless if you bought it last week under the 1 day.
Cryptosurf got me very confused with this comment because in forex props we use a code to purchase and the challenge is attached to that code.
So if the promo is 150% refund, that's 150% refund that we receive, not matter what is the running promotion at the time of the refund.

But Cryptosurf was absolutely right.

I purchased this apex one day / 90% old campaign: (see the bold line)

One Day To Pass Extended until Tuesday 02/27/2024 at 4:59 PM ET
Wednesday Night- Sunday Night (21st-25th) at 11:59 PM ET: 90% off First Month and 80% Off Recurring
Monday and Tuesday (26th-27th): 80% Off First month and 80% off recurring- ends Tuesday 4:59 PM ET
Half Priced Resets!!

Requirements for 1 Day Pass Promotion:
- Accounts need to be traded DURING the active promotion
- Accounts still require profit goal
- If account reached profit goal PRIOR to promotion and was not traded DURING the active promotion, it will NOT apply
- Flipping one contract in EVAL accounts during promotion for the trading day is ALLOWED
- Promotion does NOT exclusively apply to accounts purchased during promotion only
- Promotion DOES apply to accounts purchased prior to the promotion
- Once the promotion is over and account did not reach profit goal, minimum trading days required go back to 7 trading days
- If account has already reached "PASSED" status and was continued to be traded after promotion has ended, the promotion will NO longer apply


I bought 20 accounts, passed 10 in 8 or 9 days and left the other 10 accts for later.

Then I passed the remaining 10 accounts in just 3 days (last Friday). I thought I would have to flip contracts another 4 days. However that was not the case. There was/is a promo running of 3 days and the system assumed the account as passed with just 3 days, despite what was referred in the promotion in bold.

I don't understand very well this but that's how it worked.

I think Funded Engineer is back. They offering a 30% discount. I see the ads coming up in my YT feed..
they lowered the prices 30% permanently. Before they were doing big coupons always, seems they will avoid that now.

Want to pass a challenge? on a $100k account, sell gbpusd 4 lots and wait 3 weeks to a month. You will make it.
If you ever show up on Forex factory again I want to thank you for your wisdom. I did the opposite of what you said and passed my 100K challenge.

Yeah just think of these promotions as windows that open and close. Any open evals will fall into whatever the current open promotion. Regardless what promotion was when purchased. I saw some who were taking advantage of the $35 resets under existing blown/canceled evals with time left before renewal.
Trade with confidence, trade without fear.

Excellent tip !

We can see, though, the opposite thing. Let's say I purchase a promo of 1 or 3 days but don't start right away and when I start it's another promo of 7 days. It's not logic that I don't have what I purchased.

So, important to understand that these apex promos don't work like the forex props.

US traders getting banned almost everywhere + the metaquotes fallout definitely had an impact.
FTMO with their MT4 license intact wins again!
Futures props were also winners of the fallout.
MFF must be getting a lot of "are they back yet" traffic. No advertising or affiliate marketing and they are still in the top 10... WTF

This was good info. Thanks
Drawdown is more important than Account Size !

I think I created the macro correctly because when I CTRL+c and paste in excel he doesn't paste the formulas. He paste something else (the question marks). So, I guess the macro is working correctly allowing to copy/paste some kind of object. However when I CTRL+c and then paste in MT5 nothing is being copied. I still have the SL or TP as 0.0000. The file was saved as macro enabled and Forms 2.0 objects are ticked as well. Am I missing anything in the tick box ?
Quoting Capablanca
Despite the previous one didn't work, I found this one that worked correctly
-Glad you got it working.

Without knowing your exact steps, it may be difficult to determine why the other method did not work for you. Perhaps it was due to a version difference or something.

Thanks for sharing an alternative workaround.

I would like some input, views & comments from the trader here on whether or not E8 Markets is worth taking a challenge with at this time. I have been for 7 days using the Match Traders platform in a 14-Day trial & finds the platform is ok, but sure MT4 & MT5 were much better. Anyway, I can use the Match Trader without a doubt as I use other charting. When I looked at Trust Pilot reviews about 5 days ago there was, I think only three recent reviews on E8 Market's & then on Friday there are page after page of reviews. Not sure why I only saw three...
Would you guys give me your view, thoughts & comments on E8 Markets?

Is that window opening/closing only in reference to days to pass (1 day vs. 3 day vs regular 7 day)? Or does it also include monthly fee reduction too (71% vs 80%)?
A snails pace wins the race :-)

It includes everything and whatever the terms of the current promotion are.

Check the promotions-update in their Discord for specifics
