Lists/EAs / bots allowed
Prop firms that allow EAs and trading bots
Firms whose official rules allow Expert Advisors or automated trading on at least one program. Conditions such as approvals, add-ons or own-code requirements are common; check each profile.
Inclusion rule: The firm's sourced EA rule says allowed (with or without conditions). Firms that only allow trade-management tools are included only when the rule text says EAs are allowed. Generated from sourced data; no firm can pay to be on this list.
Sorted by most complete data. No firm has enough verified reviews for a Trust Score yet, so firms with the most sourced rules and programs come first. This is not a ranking of quality.
