What is a prop firm and how does it work?

Our forex trading bot app serves as a powerful and intuitive interface that connects your trading strategies to the brokers you already trust — and, where rules allow, to prop evaluations that accept automation.

Challenge

The process usually starts with a challenge, where traders must meet specific performance targets while following defined trading rules. These rules typically include drawdown limits, risk controls, and trading conditions.

Profit Split & Payouts

After passing the challenge, traders receive access to a funded account. Profits generated on this account are shared between the trader and the firm according to a fixed profit split. Payouts are made based on the firm’s stated schedule and conditions.

Trading Rules

Each prop firm defines its own evaluation structure, rules, profit split, and payout terms. Reviewing these details helps explain how different programs work and how they compare.

Automated Trading Rules

Rules around automated trading differ across prop firms and are often strict. Even when bots are allowed, limits may apply to execution style, risk logic, or holding behavior. Always read the firm’s official rules carefully before starting a challenge or connecting a bot.

QENREX aims to list prop firms that generally support bot trading, making it possible to use QENREX trading bots in real challenges. However, bot permissions are never universal. What is allowed at one firm may be restricted or prohibited at another, and policies can change over time.

Final responsibility always lies with the trader. QENREX is not affiliated with any listed prop firm and does not guarantee bot approval, challenge access, or funding. You must confirm that your bot setup complies with the firm’s current rules before trading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Help Center
What is a prop trading firm?

A prop trading firm is a company that gives a trader access to capital after the trader completes an evaluation. The trader uses a funded account under firm-defined rules, such as drawdown limits and operating conditions. Profits are shared between the firm and the trader based on a fixed profit split.

How do evaluation models differ?

Evaluation models differ in how firms assess performance before funding. Some firms use one-step or multi-step challenges, while others offer instant funding. Models vary by profit targets, drawdown limits, minimum trading days, and evaluation conditions, which determine how a trader qualifies for a funded account.

Are bots or EAs allowed?

Whether bots or EAs are allowed depends on the firm. Some firms permit automated trading, others apply limits, and some do not allow it at all. When permitted, firms may restrict execution methods, strategy logic, or risk settings. The firm’s official rules define these conditions.

How are payouts handled?

Payouts are handled according to each firm’s schedule and terms. Firms set payout frequency, such as weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, as well as minimum withdrawal amounts and profit split percentages. These payout rules vary by firm and may change over time.

What risks should I consider?

Prop trading involves the risk of failing an evaluation due to drawdown limits or unmet targets. Rule violations can lead to account closure or loss of fees. Risks also include changes to firm rules, platform limitations, and payout conditions, which vary by firm and may change over time. Risk Warning: Trading financial instruments involves significant risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
