Expert Advisors (EAs) and Trading Tools Policy
At AFT Funded, we embrace the evolution of trading technology. Our infrastructure is built to support professional traders who use advanced tools to refine execution and manage portfolios with precision.
Our policy follows a simple principle: empower your unique edge while protecting the integrity of our evaluation process.
1) Allowed: Personal Efficiency Tools
We support technology that helps you execute your strategy more efficiently.
- Personal Trade Copiers: You may use third-party tools to replicate trades across your own personal AFT Funded accounts.
- Typical Use Case: You analyze the market and execute manually, then your tool mirrors that same manual action across your own portfolio (within the 4-account limit).
- Risk Management Scripts: Tools that calculate position size, set break-even rules, or place stop losses based on your manual entry are permitted.
- Utility EAs: Automation for tasks like trailing stop management or closing all positions at a target level is permitted.
2) Restricted: Fully Automated Systems
Because the objective is to evaluate your personal decision-making and market judgment, strategies that remove trader interaction entirely are restricted.
- Fully Automated EAs: Set-and-forget bots that enter and exit trades without manual interaction are not allowed.
- Signal Copying: External signal mirroring or third-party account-management copy services are prohibited.
3) Prohibited Exploitative Practices
To protect platform stability and market integrity, the following are strictly prohibited:
- Arbitrage Strategies: Latency, reverse, or hedge arbitrage.
- Exploitative Scalping: High-frequency trading (HFT), tick scalping, and data-feed manipulation.
- Technical Deception: Emulators or software designed to bypass platform security.
4) Server Health and Request Limits
To maintain high performance for all participants, fair-usage limits apply:
- Request Limit: All tools and scripts are limited to 1,000 server requests per day.
- Optimization Guidance: Keep tools optimized to avoid excessive repetitive pings that do not result in valid order actions.
