Yes! Most prop firms like FTMO allow EAs as long as they follow the rules: no martingale, no grid, no HFT, and respect drawdown limits. Our prop firm EAs are designed to be compliant with these requirements.

Essential features include: hard stop-loss on every trade, low drawdown (under 10%), no martingale/grid strategies, news filter, equity protection, and conservative position sizing that respects the 5% daily and 10% max drawdown limits.

FTMO, MyForexFunds, FundedNext, The5ers, True Forex Funds, and most other prop firms allow EAs. However, rules vary—some ban specific strategies or limit how many traders can use the same EA.

Our FundedEA and Gold Prop Firm Robot are specifically designed for FTMO challenges. They feature low drawdown, proper stop losses, and avoid banned strategies like martingale and grid trading.

Common reasons include: martingale/grid blowing past drawdown limits, no stop loss causing single-trade wipeouts, trading during news events, and aggressive lot sizing. Choose EAs with built-in prop firm protections.
