Audit Scorecard
Our Verdict
Eightcap Challenges is assessed here on its published programme terms, costs, platform range and account rules — not on licences, because it holds none of its own. There is no regulator register to check and no client-money protection behind a challenge fee; the safeguards that apply to a licensed broker do not apply here.
Eightcap Challenges advertises execution of Not measured and offers MT4. That execution figure is the broker's own published claim, not a speed we have measured — real fills vary with account type, session liquidity and news conditions.
Pros & Cons
The Good
- Operated by an FCA- and ASIC-licensed broker
- No time limits

Regulatory record
Primary registersPublic enforcement records & market-access notices
No public enforcement actions on record (last checked 18 Sept 2026).
Regulated-perimeter note
Proprietary-trading programme run by Eightcap, a licensed broker, on its own pricing infrastructure. The broker is inside the FCA/ASIC perimeter; the simulated evaluation product sold here is not — it is not a regulated investment service and carries no client-money protection.
