How it works:
EAs are permitted if you designed, customised, or coded them yourself.
Pre-purchased or mass-market “plug-and-play” EAs are not allowed — they don’t reflect trader skill and often abuse unrealistic tactics.
All EAs must comply with our rules (drawdowns, cash risk, notional volume, stop losses, MPD).
Gambling behaviours (e.g., martingale, grid systems, news straddling) are prohibited whether automated or manual.
Why we allow EAs but restrict pre-builts:
Skilled traders sometimes use automation to remove human error — that’s valid.
Off-the-shelf bots are copy-trading in disguise and don’t represent genuine trader ability.
We fund traders, not algorithms you can buy for $99 online.
Benefits for you:
Fair recognition of your skills — if your EA is profitable, it’s your strategy that’s rewarded.
A level playing field where traders aren’t competing against mass-market bots.
Long-term payouts and scaling opportunities for those building sustainable strategies.
Our advice:
Use automation as a tool to enhance discipline, not as a shortcut.
If your EA is your own work, you can trade confidently knowing it’s accepted.
