The short version
- 7 firms' automation rules, each read from the firm's own rules page on Nov 6, 2026.
- Even where it's allowed, hedging across accounts, copying another person and all-or-nothing trading usually aren't.
- Firms that allow automated trading come first, then firms that allow it with conditions, then firms that ban it. A sort, not a ranking.

Purdia allows trade copiers and semi-automated trading with active oversight but not fully automated systems. Take Profit Trader bans bots and algos outright.
Can I use a trade copier at a prop firm?
Purdia allows copiers with oversight, Bulenox charges $100 a month for a third-party API or copier connection to Rithmic, and Elite Trader Funding only allows copiers on its approved list. Copying between your own accounts at the same firm is a separate rule; check the firm's page.
