One of the most common questions we see is:
“Can a trading bot actually pass and survive a prop firm?”

Short answer: Yes — but only if it’s built and used correctly.
Long answer… that’s what this discussion is for.

⚠️ Where Most Bots Fail Prop Firms

From experience and shared stories, most bots fail because of:

  • ❌ Over-leveraging on small accounts

  • ❌ No daily drawdown control

  • ❌ Martingale or recovery logic

  • ❌ Too many correlated pairs open at once

  • ❌ Ignoring news volatility

  • ❌ Chasing fast targets instead of consistency

Prop firms don’t just test profitability — they test discipline and risk control.

✅ What Actually Makes a Bot Prop-Firm Safe

A bot can be prop-firm safe when it:

  • Uses fixed or capped risk per trade

  • Limits max simultaneous positions

  • Trades high-liquidity sessions only

  • Respects daily and max drawdown rules

  • Has logic to pause after losses

  • Avoids gambling-style recovery trades

Consistency > speed.

🧠 Manual Traders vs Bot Traders — Who Has the Edge?

Manual traders:

  • Can adapt quickly

  • Can avoid bad market conditions

  • But struggle with discipline

Bot traders:

  • Are emotionless

  • Execute perfectly

  • But only as good as their logic

The strongest approach many use?
👉 Bots with strict rules + human oversight.
