Thinking of using a forex trading bot or an Expert Advisor (EA) on Trade245?

This article clearly explains why automated trading bots are not allowed and how this rule helps protect your account and our trading platform.

🤖 What Are Trading Robots?

These are computer programs that can trade for you automatically, following rules you set or that are built into them.

Trading robots (a.k.a. Expert Advisors or EAs) are software tools that:

• Open and close trades automatically

• Follow pre-programmed conditions or strategies

• Operate 24/7 without manual input

Sounds convenient, right?

But here’s the problem…

⚠️ Why We Don’t Allow Them on Trade245

We don’t allow trading robots because they can cause problems for your account and our trading system.

1. They Often Abuse Bonus Accounts

Bots are known to:

• Place rapid, high-frequency trades

• Exploit bonus-based margin without genuine risk control

• Open hedged or offsetting trades just to manipulate leverage

📌 This leads to unrealistic trading behaviour and damages the ecosystem for real traders.

2. They Distort Market Execution

Our platform uses real, A-Book pricing, meaning you’re connected to live markets.

These bots can send too many orders too quickly, which can make the trading system unfair or slower for human traders.

Bots can flood the system with orders at unnatural speeds, which:

• Affects server stability

• Slows down execution for human users

• Creates an unfair trading environment

3. They Don’t Account for Real Market Conditions

Bots don’t adjust for:

• News volatility

• Slippage

• Spread widening

• Margin requirements during CPI/FOMC releases

So when trades go wrong, real users end up blaming the broker when, in reality, the bot was simply unprepared.

4. They Open the Door to Scams

Many users don’t code their own robots.

They rent or download them from Telegram or dodgy websites, often from unregulated “gurus” or fake signal providers.

🛑 That’s how clients get scammed, and we have to step in to recover funds.
