Bots and expert advisors

If you trade with an EA, a bot or any automation, this decides whether you can use the account. And it is one of the worst-published rules in the sector. Almost no firm writes it on a page you can cite.

The 21 that publish it

4 of these 21 rows carry no link. Those go to the firm’s sheet, where its sources are. That gap is ours.

And 81 not verified for this rule

These firms may publish the rule on a page we have not verified, so it would be wrong to list them as silent. They are named because a gap with a name is worth more than a gap hidden in an average.

Frequently asked questions

How many prop firms allow using robots or expert advisors?

Of the 102 firms in the census, 10 allow it outright, 4 allow it with some condition and 7 forbid it. The other 81 are not verified at the source.

What does “with conditions” mean?

The firm allows it but attaches a requirement: a paid add-on, a time window, prior approval or a cap. It is published as a third state with the condition quoted beside it.

What if my firm is not in the list?

Then the rule is not verified for it, as for 81 firms. They are listed below by name.

Where does this data come from?

From each firm’s own website, never from another comparison site. The census cites 1,196 pages across 156 official domains, and of the readings behind this page the oldest is from 3 months ago. When two pages from the same firm contradict each other, both are published with their quote. Of the 21 rows above, 17 carry that firm’s own URL and the date it was read, and 4 do not. Those link to the firm’s sheet, where its sources are. That gap is ours.

The other rules

Every state on this page comes from the firm’s own website. 4 of the 21 rows still have no link to the page where it was read. That gap is ours.
