FunderPro Expert Advisors
The Simple Answer
Yes. FunderPro allows Expert Advisors, and it falls under the Flexible category. That means you can run your own EAs to place trades for you, Expert Advisors and trading bots are permitted. Third party EAs are only allowed if you own the source code, and high frequency, latency or arbitrage strategies are not allowed.
Always confirm your specific EA type with the firm before you buy, since the exact rules depend on the platform you use and the strategy your EA runs.
Flexible vs Risk Management Expert Advisors
Prop firms treat Expert Advisors in two main ways. Flexible means you can run your own EAs to place trades for you, although some firms still require human oversight, so it is worth confirming your EA type with support first. Risk Management means EAs are limited to risk tools such as lot size calculation, stop loss and take profit management, break even, and general risk control, rather than placing trades on their own.
What Expert Advisors FunderPro Allows
FunderPro sits in the Flexible group, so you are free to automate your trading with your own EA. In practice, Expert Advisors and trading bots are permitted. Third party EAs are only allowed if you own the source code, and high frequency, latency or arbitrage strategies are not allowed. As with any firm, the safest approach is to make sure the EA reflects your own strategy and to check any grey areas with support before you start.
Final Comments
