EU risk warning
71.90% of retail CFD accounts lose money
This review covers Eightcap EU Ltd, authorised by CySEC under licence 246/14. The current EU pages support TradingView and MetaTrader 5 and advertise 800+ CFD markets. Group licences outside the EU are identified separately and are not treated as licences of the EU service entity.
This review is deliberately scoped to Eightcap EU Ltd rather than combining every company in the Eightcap group. The reviewed entity is incorporated in Cyprus and authorised by CySEC under licence 246/14. FCA, ASIC, SCB, Seychelles, and Mauritius relationships belong to other group entities and do not automatically govern an EU account.
The current EU product pages support TradingView and MetaTrader 5. Earlier generated copy also listed MT4 and an Eightcap-branded platform, but those claims were not supported by the reviewed EU evidence and have been removed. Platform availability should still be checked during signup because product access can change by entity and country.
Eightcap's EU page advertises more than 800 CFD markets across forex, shares, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies. That breadth is useful for traders who want several CFD categories in one account, although the review does not turn the headline catalogue into a claim that every market is continuously available.
The minimum deposit, exact demo-account policy, and complete support-language list were not publicly verified in the reviewed material. The sidebar now states those limits directly. The current risk warning says 71.90% of retail CFD accounts lose money, which should carry more weight than platform convenience when deciding whether leveraged CFDs are suitable.
Eightcap EU is most relevant to traders who specifically want CySEC oversight with TradingView or MT5. It is a poor fit for anyone relying on MT4 in the EU, assuming another group licence protects the account, or choosing a broker before checking the current funding and account terms.
