Definition
Expert advisors are automated trading programs, commonly associated with MetaTrader platforms.
Why it matters in comparisons
Automation rules can affect whether a strategy is allowed in a funded challenge. FundedFinder treats this as comparison research only, not a recommendation to buy a challenge or place a trade.
Example scenario
A provider may allow risk-management EAs but restrict latency arbitrage or shared bots. The exact numbers and conditions can vary by provider, account size, market and challenge type.
What to verify
- Read automation rules.
- Check banned strategy types.
- Confirm VPS and platform permissions.
- Verify whether bots are allowed after funding.
Verification note
Use official provider pages as the source of truth because prop firm rules and fees can change.
FundedFinder is informational only. Glossary pages explain terms and rule concepts; they do not recommend buying a challenge or placing a trade.
