Prop Firms That Allow EAs
ForRealFunding allows expert advisors and automated trading, with the exception of high-frequency-trading EAs. This page lists which firms allow automation and what each one excludes (HFT, latency arbitrage, tick scalping), so you can check a strategy is permitted before you buy.
Who this matters for
- Algorithmic traders who want to run a tested EA rather than trade manually
- Traders who want to confirm HFT-style strategies are excluded before they invest time building one

FAQ
Are expert advisors allowed on ForRealFunding accounts?
Yes, EAs and automated trading are allowed, with the exception of high-frequency-trading EAs.
What counts as HFT that isn't allowed?
Strategies built around extremely rapid, latency-sensitive execution rather than a genuine trading edge. If you're unsure whether a specific EA qualifies, check with support before running it on a live evaluation.
