# 🤖 Are EAs and Trade Copiers Allowed at Nostro?

Expert Advisors (EAs) and trade copiers are **allowed during the evaluation stages**, but there are important restrictions traders must follow.

#### **EA Usage**

Traders may use **Expert Advisors during the evaluation stages** if the EA is:

- **Developed by you**
- Based on **your own strategy**
- Not a **publicly available or marketplace EA**

If our system detects EA activity, you may be asked to provide **evidence that the EA is your own work and that you own the rights to it**.

#### **Trade Copiers**

Trade copiers may only be used **to copy trades from another account that you personally own**.

If requested, you must be able to provide **proof that the source account belongs to you**.

Copying trades from:

- Other traders
- Signal providers
- Social trading services
- Third-party trade copying platforms

is strictly prohibited.

#### **Funded Stage Rules**

Once you reach the **funded stage**, automated trading tools are **not permitted**.

Funded accounts require **active manual trading and full attention from the trader**, therefore:

- **EAs are not allowed**
- **Trade copiers are not allowed**

#### **Summary**

✔ EAs may be used **during evaluation stages if they are your own work**

✔ Trade copiers are only allowed if **copying from your own account**

✔ Marketplace EAs and signal services are **not permitted**

✔ **EAs and automation are not allowed in the funded stage**

These rules help ensure Nostro identifies **genuine trading skill and responsible risk management**.
