Can I trade with EA?

Estimated reading: 2 minutes

Yes. Traders are allowed to use automated trading strategies, provided they comply with the platform limitations, ownership requirements, and thePropTrade trading rules.

TradeLocker: Does not support direct imports of EAs or trading bots because it uses a different coding language. However, you can take the code from your existing EA or bot and input it into the AI assistant inside TradeLocker Studio. The AI will convert your strategy into a TradeLocker-compatible bot.

cTrader:  Instead of EAs, cTrader uses cBots, which are built in C# or Python through the cTrader Automate framework. This means you cannot upload an EA directly to cTrader; the strategy must be rewritten or converted into a cBot to function on the platform.
