Are Expert Advisors (EAs) allowed in the New Lightning Challenge?

Updated over a week ago

You may use any risk management EA or Trading Bot as long as it does not employ the following strategies:

  • Martingale

  • Tick scalping

  • Reverse arbitrage trading

  • Latency arbitrage trading

  • Hedge arbitrage trading

  • High-Frequency Trading (HFT)

Any use of these methods is a violation of our rules. Accounts found using such EAs or strategies will be terminated. It is the trader’s responsibility to ensure that their EA or trading bot operates in full compliance with FTUK’s rules.
