Expert Advisors (EAs)

(Using an EA / Trading bot on Instant Funding is not allowed)

You are welcome to use Expert Advisors (EAs) on one-step-flash and 2-step-pro accounts (Using an EA / Trading bot on Instant Funding is not allowed) to enhance and optimize your trading strategies. However, it is crucial for each trader to ensure that their EA settings and trading parameters are tailored to their individual trading style and account.

While it's permissible for traders to use the same EA or indicator as others, each trader must customize their settings to differentiate their trades. The use of hidden EAs or tools designed to conceal the use of an EA is strictly prohibited.

Additionally, commercially available EAs with automated trading algorithms are not allowed under any circumstances.

High-Frequency Trading (HFT) is strictly prohibited.
