Can I Use Bots & Algorithmic Trading in MegaTrader ?

Rules regarding bot usage and verification requirements.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Summary

At MegaTrader, we support innovation and advanced trading tools—as long as they’re used responsibly. Traders are permitted to use bots and algorithmic trading systems if they comply with our platform’s terms and do not interfere with system integrity, risk policies, or fairness.


Are Bots Allowed?

Yes, traders may use bots, expert advisors (EAs), and automated trading systems. However, all strategies must:

  • Be fully disclosed if requested by the compliance team

  • Operate within contract size limits and trading rules

  • Not overload or disrupt the platform


Platform Impact & Fair Usage

We prohibit:

  • Strategies that spam the order book or place excessive rapid orders

  • Server-intensive bots that strain system performance

  • Latency arbitrage or tick manipulation methods

Bots that abuse system mechanics or give unfair advantages may lead to disqualification.


Rules Still Apply

Even when using a bot, all standard rules apply:

  • Trailing drawdown

  • Contract limits

  • No hedging or unauthorized instruments

  • Trading hours compliance

If a bot causes your account to break a rule, it will be treated the same as if the violation were manual.


Monitoring & Review

MegaTrader monitors bot activity continuously. You may be contacted to:

  • Explain the logic behind your strategy

  • Provide logs or trading system details

  • Adjust or deactivate your bot if issues arise

Failure to comply may result in account suspension or removal.
