Prop firms for Expert Advisors
Trade their capital. Keep most of the profit.
Pass a firm's evaluation and it gives you a funded account to trade. Pick a firm, plan the challenge around its two limits, and let an EA with a built-in guard stick to them.

How it works
From challenge to payout
The usual path. Each firm, and each of its programmes, has its own numbers.
- 1
The challenge
Reach a profit target without breaking the daily or the overall loss limit.
- 2
Verification
At most firms, a second phase with the same limits and a smaller target.
- 3
Funded account
Trade the firm's capital, inside the same limits.
- 4
Payouts
Keep the larger share of the profit, paid on the firm's schedule.
Planner
How much room do the limits give you?
Enter the firm's two limits and the risk per trade you set in the EA: see how many losing trades in a row each limit allows.
The more trades each limit allows, the more room the strategy has to work. Enter the same limits in the EA's guard.
Before you buy a challenge
Read these rules first
Tick each one as you find it in the firm's rules. It stays ticked on this device.
Built for it
K3Bxn Expert Advisors on prop accounts
Prop-Firm Guard
K3Bxn Gold Premium stops trading at the daily and overall limits you enter.
No martingale, no grid
Firms commonly ban them, and no K3Bxn EA uses them. Every trade has its own stop loss.
A live place
A challenge or funded account takes one live place on your licence, even when the firm runs it on a demo server.
A challenge or funded account is a trading account like any other: add its number under My account > Licences.
Quick answers
Questions
Do prop firms allow Expert Advisors?
Most do; some restrict certain styles or news trading, and the rules differ between their programmes. Read the firm's rules on EAs before you buy a challenge.
Does my licence cover a challenge and a funded account?
Each account takes one place on the licence. When you pass, release the challenge account and add the funded one, or buy 3 licences to run both.
My challenge runs on a demo server. Can I use it?
Yes. Add it yourself under My account > Licences as a live account: it takes one of your live places, like a funded account. Demo places are for testing, six months each.
Which K3Bxn Expert Advisors are built for prop accounts?
Gold Premium has a Prop-Firm Guard. It stops trading at the daily and overall limits you enter.
Can I run K3Bxn News Scalp on a prop account?
Only where the firm allows trading around news. Many restrict it: check the rules of your programme first.
Do I pay the firm or you?
Both, separately: the firm for its challenge, us for the Expert Advisor's licence.
Pick a firm. Let the guard keep the rules.
Choose a programme, enter its limits in the EA, and run it on a VPS so it never misses a session.
