What is an EA or algo trader in prop trading?

An EA (Expert Advisor) is an automated trading script — commonly used on MT4/MT5 — that executes trades based on predefined rules without manual input.

Do all platforms support EA trading?

No. EAs are primarily associated with MetaTrader platforms. Firms using proprietary or web-based platforms may not support EA execution.

Are there restrictions on which EAs are allowed?

Many firms that permit EAs still ban high-frequency, latency arbitrage, or tick scalping bots. Always review the firm's EA policy in detail.
