Is the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) or AI trading allowed?
We understand that many traders utilize Expert Advisors (EAs) or AI trading systems to enhance their trading strategies. To balance the benefits of automated trading with the need for risk management, we have specific guidelines regarding the use of EAs and AI trading:
Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Challenge
Allowed: During Phase 1 and Phase 2 of our trading challenge, traders are permitted to use Expert Advisors (EAs) and AI trading systems. This allows you to showcase your trading skills and strategies, including automated systems, to pass the evaluation stages.
Funded Stage
Not Allowed: Once you reach the funded stage, the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) and AI trading systems is not permitted. At this stage, we require manual trading to ensure that all trading decisions are made by the trader without the influence of automated systems.
Is Copy Trading Allowed at Alpha Trader Firm?
No, copy trading is strictly prohibited in both the challenge phases and the funded stage. This includes mirroring trades from other accounts, third-party signals, or any form of trade automation that replicates another trader’s strategy. Engaging in copy trading will result in an immediate hard breach and permanent loss of the account, with no eligibility for a reset or refund. All trading activity must reflect your own independent decision-making.
These guidelines help us manage risks and ensure that funded traders are consistently making informed and responsible trading decisions.
If you have any questions or need further clarification regarding the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) or AI trading systems, please contact our support team. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these guidelines.
