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.
Evaluations, bots, payouts, and risks — in plain language before you pay a challenge fee.
Help CenterA 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
