Q: What is the E8 Markets Trading Terminal?

A: The E8 Markets Trading Terminal is a professional web-based platform for trading Forex, Stocks, Futures, Crypto, and CFDs. It runs entirely in your browser — no download needed — and provides real-time charts powered by TradingView, a full order panel, account analytics, and community tools.

Q: What is the difference between a Demo Account and a Live Account?

A: A Demo Account uses simulated funds (e.g., $100,000) so you can practice trading without risking real money. All features — charts, order types, risk metrics — work identically to a Live Account. Use the Demo to learn the platform before committing to Live Account.

Q: How do I log in to the terminal?

A: Visit trade.e8markets.com and sign in with your E8 Markets credentials. Sign in button is in upper right corner. Once authenticated, you are taken directly to the Trade section with your active account (Demo or Live) pre-loaded.

Q: How do I switch between a Demo and Live Account?

A: Your current account type is shown at the top of the left sidebar (e.g., "Demo Account · $101,996"). If you have multiple accounts linked to your profile, you can switch between them from the account selector in that same area or via Settings (G → S).
