Eightcap Challenges is the prop arm of the Eightcap broker group, and it's one of the few forex and CFD challenges that tells Americans yes in plain words on its own FAQ.
We didn't stop at the FAQ. We loaded the checkout from a US connection and watched what it offered, then switched the country to see what changed.
Can Americans buy Eightcap Challenges?
Can a US resident buy this?
Yes, on TradeLocker or TradingView. Not on MT4 or MT5.
We tested it. We opened their checkout from a US connection. It preselected United States, listed all 50 states plus DC, and offered only TradingView and TradeLocker. Switching the country to the UK added MT5 and MT4. The checkout enforces the rule, so you can't pick an MT platform by mistake.
“Yes, residents from the United States can purchase challenges on TradeLocker or TradingView.” — their own words
“residents of the United States of America are restricted from purchasing a challenge on MT4 and MT5.” — their own words

Is Eightcap Challenges a real, operating business?
Before a code matters, the company behind it has to be real and reachable. Here’s what Eightcap Challenges’s own site and documents tell us.
- Legal entity
- Eightcap International Ltd
- Based in
- Seychelles
- Operating since
- 2025
- Trustpilot reviews
- —
- Google-verified advertiser
- —
- Ads running in the US
- None found
Every item above comes from Eightcap Challenges’s own site or legal documents, checked on the dates listed under Sources.
The advertiser name and ad counts come from Google’s Ads Transparency Center and Meta’s Ad Library, viewed from the US on Oct 1, 2026. Google verifies who pays for ads; that’s independent evidence the business is real and operating, but it isn’t the firm’s own documentation. Ad counts are approximate.
What we found ourselves
- No working Eightcap Challenges code beats 20%. We applied every code in Google's AI Overview at their checkout: the 24% code has expired, and the code billed as 25% applies 20%.
- Their trading day starts at 00:00 server time (UTC+3 in summer, UTC+2 in winter). Their clock change follows the US one, so for a New York trader the day always rolls over at 5:00 PM ET. The daily drawdown resets an hour later, at 6:00 PM ET.
- We applied USA20 at Eightcap's checkout from a US connection on 1 October 2026: the $5K Two Phase went from $59.00 to $47.20, a 20% discount, with the message “Coupon code applied successfully”.
- We tested the checkout from a US connection on 1 October 2026. The platform menu changes with the billing country: TradingView and TradeLocker for the US, all four platforms for the UK. No US state is missing from the state list.
- The US answer is on their own FAQ, worded as a yes. Most review sites list Eightcap Challenges with a Seychelles flag and say nothing about whether an American can buy.
- Hedging is defined broadly. Long EURUSD plus long USDJPY counts, because both are opposing USD exposure. So does long SPX500 with long VIX. That matters if you trade correlated pairs.

Before you buy
No MT4 or MT5 for US residents
If you trade on MetaTrader, this isn't your firm. With a US billing address the checkout only offers TradingView and TradeLocker, so plan to learn one of those.
There is a cap on each payout
Profit above 5% of the account (One Phase) or 10% (Two Phase) in one payout cycle is forfeited when the account resets. On a $100K One Phase, the most you can be paid out from one cycle is the 80% split of $5,000.
One big day doesn't count in full
No single day may make up more than 50% of a Two Phase target, or 30% of a One Phase payout request. Profit over the limit doesn't count toward that target or request. The rest of your progress still counts.
No trading around high-impact news
Trades within 10 minutes either side of a high-impact release are a soft breach. Your account stays open, but you lose the profit from those trades. For US traders that includes NFP, CPI and FOMC.
30 days without a trade closes the account
The inactivity rule terminates an account after 30 consecutive days with no trades, and fees are never refunded.
The Day Trader Challenge isn't covered here
Eightcap also sells a Day Trader Challenge: a fixed $10K account, a $5–$500 stake and 1–8 hour sessions. It's a different product from the evaluations above, and we haven't checked its US terms yet.
ID check once payouts pass $1,000
KYC is triggered by cumulative payouts above $1,000, not per request. You need ID and proof of address issued in the country where you're a legal resident.
Bottom line
If you're happy on TradingView or TradeLocker, Eightcap is the most thoroughly verified forex option on this site: the US answer is in their FAQ and confirmed at their checkout. If MetaTrader is non-negotiable, look at FTMO's US site instead.
