Introduction
Funding Pips allows the use of Expert Advisors, but only under narrow conditions. EAs must operate strictly as risk or trade management helpers. Any EA capable of initiating trades or full automation is disallowed.
Policy Details
EAs are permitted only when tasked with adjusting existing trades—such as modifying stop-loss or take-profit—or closing positions. EAs that initiate trades, including pre-programmed or off-the-shelf bots that place orders automatically, are not permitted. Using them may lead to denial of evaluation or funding and possible account termination.
Use During Evaluation and Funded Phases
Traders may deploy management-only EAs during both evaluation (challenge) and funded (Master) stages. Fully automated EAs performing trade execution remain forbidden in both phases.
Supported Platforms and EA Restrictions
Funding Pips platforms include MetaTrader 5, cTrader, Match-Trader, and TradeLocker. MetaTrader 5 is EA-compatible; however, only compliant EAs are allowed—no fully automated systems are permitted, even if they run on MetaTrader 5.
News and Weekend Behavior
Trading around high-impact news involves strict windows where profits from trades opened close to event timing may be excluded. EAs can modify existing positions during these periods, but not open new ones. Weekend trading is allowed, but again only trade management EAs are acceptable, not those placing trades automatically.
Prohibited Strategies and Risk Tools
Funding Pips explicitly prohibits high-risk trading methods, such as martingale, grid, hedging, arbitrage, high-frequency trading, or latency exploitation. EAs must not embed such strategies; doing so would breach firm rules and jeopardize account status.
Conclusion
Funding Pips does allow Expert Advisors—but exclusively as trade or risk management tools. Fully automated EAs that initiate or manage trades autonomously are not allowed at any stage. Traders should ensure any EA used is aligned with supported platforms and does not violate risk policies.
