Yes, but only under specific conditions.
At Fintokei, we understand that automation is part of modern trading. Many traders use tools like Expert Advisors (EAs) or scripts to manage positions more efficiently or to test systems. That’s fine with us—as long as you’re the creator or full owner of the strategy and understand how it works.
Here’s what’s allowed:
• ✅ Custom-built EAs developed and fully controlled by you.
• ✅ Simple automation tools or scripts to execute your own strategy faster.
• ✅ AI-generated strategies that you’ve created, adjusted, and tested yourself.
And what’s not:
• ❌ Buying or copying commercial EAs or signal packages created by someone else.
• ❌ Using free public bots or black-box systems where you don’t know how they work.
• ❌ Deploying systems made by third parties where your trades are just following someone else’s signals.
Also any other prohibited practice is not allowed:
• ❌ Using services or EAs created by 3rd parties in purpose to “pass your prop trading evaluations” or otherwise take advantage of the technical inefficiencies of the platform and its infrastructure
• ❌ Martingale (LINK)
• ❌ Tick scalping (LINK)
• ❌ Latency arbitrage trading (LINK)
• ❌ Opposite trading / hedging across multiple accounts or traders (LINK)
📌 Why this matters:
Our model is based on identifying real, talented traders. If you’re not making the decisions—or if the logic of the strategy isn’t yours—we can’t assess your trading ability. That means we can’t build anything sustainable together.
💡 Pro tip: If you’re not sure whether your EA setup is compliant, just ask us. We’re happy to check it with you before you risk breaching the rules.
