Prop firm automation
Most prop firms let you trade with an EA, and each one attaches conditions. FundedNext wants a paid add-on. FXIFY wants to approve the EA first. The5ers asks you to own the source code. Some programs ban automation outright, and a firm's US accounts often run on a different platform from everyone else's.
Each guide under this tag covers one firm. It connects the account, then matches PineHook's drawdown, news and session settings to that firm's rules for your product and stage. If you have not picked a firm yet, the prop firms page lists every firm we have written up, grouped by platform.
