Hi, how can we help?

Expert Advisors (EAs), Automated Trading Systems, and Algorithms

Traders may use third-party Expert Advisors (EAs), trading bots, algorithms, and automated trading systems only on MT5, provided the applicable EA usage option has been purchased. EA usage is not permitted on cTrader, Match-Trader, TradeLocker or on Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Accounts issued under the Direct Model, unless expressly permitted for a specific product. 

Traders may use any EA or trading bot on an eligible MT5 account, provided it complies with Hola Prime’s Trading Rules and does not engage in prohibited activities. Traders must customize their EA settings so their trading activity remains sufficiently distinct from that of other traders.

EAs must not be used for activities such as copy trading based on another person’s signals or trading activity, tick scalping, latency arbitrage, reverse arbitrage, hedge arbitrage, HFT, or emulator-based systems.

Traders must declare the strategy used by their EA when their funded account is issued and notify Hola Prime of any material change to the EA or its strategy.

As third-party EAs may be used by multiple traders, accounts using identical or highly similar EA strategies or configurations may be grouped and subject to a combined maximum capital allocation, even where the accounts belong to different traders or profiles. 

Hola Prime may request information about an EA, including its name, configuration, logic, or source code, for review and verification. If an EA causes platform hyperactivity, excessive order activity, or other technical issues, traders may be required to adjust the EA. Continued use of an EA that causes technical or operational issues may result in restrictions or termination of the account.

If two or more traders are found using identical or near-identical EA configurations, Hola Prime may, at its discretion:

• Deny approval of Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Accounts

• Rebalance existing Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Accounts

• Terminate one or more related accounts

Any account found using an EA or automated system for prohibited activities may be canceled and permanently banned, and associated fees or payments will be non-refundable.

Third-party position sizers, risk calculators, and similar tools are permitted only as analytical or informational tools. They must not automatically execute, modify, or close trades or automatically modify SL, TP, position size, or other order parameters.

The use of an EA does not exempt a trader or account from any applicable trading restrictions, risk limits, or prohibited trading practices.

Copy Trading

Copy trading means any arrangement where trades executed on one account are automatically or systematically replicated, mirrored, or synchronized on another account, whether through a trade copier, EA, API, third-party software, or any other method designed to reproduce substantially the same trading activity.Copy trading is permitted between Hola Prime accounts owned by the same individual, subject to the following conditions:

Challenge Accounts- There is no restriction on copy trading between Challenge Accounts, provided all participating accounts are owned by the same individual.

Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Accounts- Copy trading involving Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Accounts is limited to two accounts owned by the same individual, structured as:

• 1 Master Account

• 1 Copier Account

Both the Master Account and Copier Account must be Hola Prime accounts registered to and owned by the same individual.

Any additional Sim. Funded Account identified as participating in copy trading beyond the permitted one Master and one Copier Account structure will be considered a rule violation and may result in a breach of the relevant account(s).

Challenge & Hola Prime (Sim. Funded Accounts): Copy trading from Challenge to Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) is limited to only one Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) Account. There is no limit on accounts for copy trading from Hola Prime (Sim. Funded) to Challenge Accounts.

Copy Trading From Other Prop Firms

Copying trades from accounts held with other proprietary trading firms to Hola Prime accounts is strictly prohibited. 

Note: This applies to all accounts purchased on or after 15 September 2026.
