Use of bots, EAs and automation – What’s allowed?

Using bots, emulators, or any form of automated trading software is forbidden.

At Upcomers, we evaluate your trading performance based on your manual decision-making skills. This means that every trade must be executed directly by you, without the use of automation that places, modifies, or closes trades on your behalf.

You are not allowed to use any Expert Advisors (EAs) or similar tools that perform automated actions in your account — even partially. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Automated trade execution

  • Trade management (e.g., automatic SL/TP updates, trailing stop logic)

  • Partial automation where the bot places pending orders or enters trades for you after confirmation

  • Scripts that open or close positions based on predefined conditions

However, you may use tools or indicators (including EAs) that simply help you with analysis or signal generation, as long as you manually execute all trades yourself.

If you’re unsure whether your tool is allowed, it’s best to contact our support team before using it. Violations may result in disqualification or account suspension.
