Blueberry Funded — strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- Backed by Blueberry Markets, an ASIC-regulated Australian broker with ~8 years of brokerage operation — real infrastructure behind the accounts
- Four platforms — MT4, MT5, TradeLocker and DXtrade — a wider choice than most rivals
- Raw spreads from ~0.1 pips with a flat forex/gold commission and zero commission on indices, commodities and crypto
- Broad evaluation menu: 1-Step, 2-Step, Rapid, Synthetic and instant funding, from a low entry price
- 80% split scaling to 90%, bi-weekly payouts with no withdrawal fees
- No time limit on most challenge tracks; news trading, EAs and weekend holding permitted with restrictions
Cons
- The funded entity is registered offshore in St. Vincent and the Grenadines — the ASIC regulation covers the affiliated broker, not the prop product
- Polarised Trustpilot sentiment and a volatile published score, with recurring funded-account breach complaints at payout time
- Young firm (2024) — the long-term payout track record is still forming
- Excludes several regions, including US, Australian, Russian and UAE residents
E8 Markets — strengths & weaknesses
Pros
- Fast payouts — median 11 hours to approval, 24 hours to funds (firm-reported, Jan–May 2026)
- Customizable single-phase challenges (E8 One) and daily payout requests on E8 Pro
- Publishes its pass rate (17.7%) — rare transparency in this industry
- Six platforms including Tradovate futures with TradingView connectivity
Cons
- Signature per-request payout caps ($1,000–$5,250) frustrate bigger winners
- Tight 3–4% drawdowns and no overnight/weekend holding on Signature accounts
- Payouts formally styled "discretionary incentives" under the 2025 SimFi repositioning; MT5 unavailable to US residents
