Evidence-led rule guide
Prop-firm automation and EA rules
A firm may permit trader-owned automation while prohibiting copied strategies, shared accounts, latency exploitation or other practices. The exact policy matters more than a simple allowed or prohibited label.
The table reflects the 2026-08-02.v3 snapshot verified on 2026-08-02. Rules can change; confirm the linked official source for the exact programme.
What traders should check
- Whether trader-owned EAs or algorithms are permitted.
- Restrictions on copied, shared or commercially distributed strategies.
- Prohibited execution practices and infrastructure constraints.
- Whether the policy differs between evaluation and funded accounts.
