E8 Markets allows copy trading across your own accounts, personal accounts included, and says you are free to use any trade copying tool that works for you. Here are E8's rules, quoted and linked, and how to copy to your E8 accounts on MT5, TradeLocker and Match-Trader with Copygram.
4 E8 Markets accounts Running 
E8 Markets account 1You place the trade Checked Nov 11, 2026 from E8 Markets's own pages. Not affiliated with E8 Markets.
Every rule links to the E8 Markets page it comes from. Compare E8 Markets with other firms in the prop firm rules table.
Read our full E8 Markets guide →You may copy across all accounts that belong to you, including SimFi Challenge and SimFi Performance accounts. Each user must have their own strategy: team trading, copying other traders and signal services are banned. Copying doesn't lift the maximum capital allocation, and opening extra E8X profiles to get around it breaks the rules.
“Copy trading across your own accounts is allowed”
E8 says you may use any trade-copying tool or software, and names one tool as an option for MatchTrader. Its product overview lists a trade copier as allowed on E8 One, E8 Pro, E8 Signature and E8 Zero. Copying must stay between your own accounts. The help center doesn't address VPNs, VPSs or shared servers; allocation caps apply per household, including users on the same IP.
“You are free to use any trade copying tool or software that works for you”
Any EA, including a third-party one, is allowed as long as several users aren't running the same trades or strategy; E8 allows one strategy per user and recommends your own EA. Limits apply: 100 open orders at a time, 2,000 server requests and 2,000 positions per day, and no more than 50% of trades held under one minute. The product overview marks EAs as not allowed on futures products (E8 Zero, E8 Signature Futures). The general Terms separately ban bots or automation software used to interact with or manipulate the Platform.
“even though the use of third-party EA is allowed”
Source: Can I use indicators or expert advisors when trading the E8 Account?
E8 allows copying between its accounts and any personal accounts, as long as all of them belong to you alone. The pages don't name accounts at other prop firms specifically. Hedging across multiple accounts is banned.
“or any personal accounts, as long as all accounts belong to you and you alone”
Hedging across multiple accounts is banned, even when the same trader owns them all. You may hedge only within a single Challenge or Performance account. Using a prohibited strategy leads to termination and a refund of the fee for the account involved.
“Hedging across multiple accounts, even those belonging to the same trader, is strictly prohibited.”

There is no limit on Challenge accounts. Performance accounts are capped per product: $500,000 per market on E8 One and E8 Pro, 3 accounts on E8 Zero, and on E8 Signature Futures 5 accounts of $50,000 or 3 of $100,000 or $150,000, never more than 5 in total. Limits apply per household, including users on the same IP, and each person may hold only one E8X profile. Passed accounts above the cap are kept in reserve until allocation frees up.

MetaTrader comment MT5 · Live BUY XAUUSD 0.10Comment: CopygramSignalOpenLot exceptions per symbol MT5 · Live Prefixes and suffixes MT5 · Live Fixed lot or risk-based sizing for every copied trade.
Example Test a new source at a fixed 0.10 lot, then move to percentage-of-balance risk.
Skip signals whose AI confidence score falls below your threshold.
Example A 60% threshold executes a signal scored 75% and skips one scored 45%.
Use the signal's levels, set your own, and decide whether to trade when a level is missing.
Example Refuse any trade that arrives without a stop loss.
Translate the source's symbol names to your platform's names.
Example GOLD in the signal becomes XAUUSD on your broker.
Execute only listed symbols, or skip the ones you don't trade.
Example Copy EURUSD, GBPUSD and XAUUSD only.
A fixed size for specific symbols that overrides the general rule.
Example Gold always opens at 0.01 even when the default is 0.50.
Detect or add broker symbol prefixes and suffixes automatically.
Example EURUSD becomes EURUSD.pro on a broker that uses the .pro suffix.
Choose whether exits and SL/TP changes from the source are mirrored.
Example Follow the entries, but manage your own exits.
Limit each receiver to the days and hours you choose.
Example Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 22:00 UTC.
Add a comment to every MT4/MT5 trade, for example when a prop firm asks you to label strategy trades.

Not with Copygram, where Match-Trader accounts only receive copied trades. Use an E8 account on MT5 or TradeLocker as the source, or an account of your own elsewhere, which E8 allows as long as every account belongs to you alone.
