MyForexFunds (MFF) was once the second-largest prop trading firm in the world before regulatory action in 2023 froze new accounts. Many traders who held active MFF accounts moved to alternative firms with similar rule structures, including FundedNext, The5ers, Funded Trading Plus, and Funded Engineer. The EA strategies that worked on MFF generally translate well to these MFF-style challenges.
MFF-style prop firms share three common features: a one-step or two-step evaluation, a tight daily-loss limit (typically 4 to 5 percent), and a maximum total drawdown (typically 8 to 12 percent). Quality EAs for these challenges use conservative per-trade risk (0.5 to 1 percent), built-in drawdown circuit breakers that pause trading on bad days, and a session filter that avoids low-liquidity hours.
AutoPipShop tags 300+ EAs as challenge-safe and excludes martingale, ungated grid, and news-event trading by default. If you held an MFF account and are looking for an alternative, filter the featured EAs below and forward-test on the new prop firm demo terminal before committing the evaluation fee. Rule sets vary, so always read the specific firm trading rules.

Frequently asked questions about MyForexFunds-style prop firms
What happened to MyForexFunds?
MyForexFunds was frozen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Ontario Securities Commission in August 2023 over allegations of fraud against customers. New accounts are not available. Existing traders moved to alternative firms with similar rule structures.
What prop firms are similar to MyForexFunds?
FundedNext, The5ers, Funded Trading Plus, Funded Engineer, City Traders Imperium, and FTMO all offer similar evaluation models. Each has slightly different rules on daily-loss, drawdown, and consistency, so review the specific firm before applying an MFF-style EA.
Do MFF-style prop firms allow EAs?
Yes, the vast majority of MFF-style prop firms permit Expert Advisors on evaluation and funded accounts. Standard restrictions apply: no copy-trading across accounts, no latency exploitation, no HFT bots holding positions under 60 seconds.
What is the safest EA strategy for prop firms?
Conservative trend-following with strict per-trade risk (0.5 to 1 percent), built-in daily-loss circuit breakers, and a session filter that avoids low-liquidity overnight hours. Trend systems take few trades, hold positions longer, and respect risk limits naturally.
How do I switch an EA from MFF to a new prop firm?
First, read the new prop firm trading rules carefully. Confirm the EA does not trigger any banned strategies (HFT, news trading, grid). Then forward-test on the new firm demo platform for at least two weeks to confirm execution behaviour matches the MFF environment.
