The rule

Expert advisors allowed
Algorithmic trading and EAs are allowed, including third-party EAs, subject to risk management, real-market conformity, and maximum capital allocation rules.
“Your trading style is up to you. As long as your trading is legitimate (in line with proper risk management), conforms to the real market conditions, and does not resemble forbidden practices, we have no reasons for limiting or restricting your trading strategy, whether it's discretionary trading, algorithmic trading, EAs, etc.”
