The Funded Trader (TFT) offers four main challenge models: Standard (two-phase evaluation with 8 percent and 5 percent targets), Royal (two-phase with 8 percent and 5 percent and lower drawdown), Knight (one-phase rapid evaluation), and Rapid (one-phase express). Expert Advisors are permitted on all four models with the usual prop-firm restrictions on HFT, copy-trading, and arbitrage exploitation.
TFT Standard and Royal have a 5 percent daily-loss limit (calculated on starting balance, not trailing) and a 10 to 12 percent maximum drawdown. This is more forgiving than Topstep FX trailing rules, so a wider range of EAs work. TFT Knight and Rapid use a one-phase model with a 10 percent profit target and tighter risk tolerance, suiting EAs with strong risk-adjusted returns and steady equity curves.
AutoPipShop tags 300+ EAs as challenge-safe. Filter the featured EAs by strategy (scalping, trend-following, hedging, breakout) to match the TFT model you are targeting. Always read the specific TFT model rules before deploying because TFT updates their rule set occasionally, particularly around news-event trading and weekend holding restrictions.

Frequently asked questions about The Funded Trader EAs
Does The Funded Trader allow EAs?
Yes. The Funded Trader permits Expert Advisors on all challenge models (Standard, Royal, Knight, Rapid) under standard prop-firm restrictions: no HFT, no copy-trading, no arbitrage exploitation, no third-party signals shared across multiple traders.
What is the difference between TFT Standard and Royal?
Standard and Royal both use two-phase evaluations with 8 percent Phase 1 and 5 percent Phase 2 targets. Royal has slightly tighter drawdown rules (8 percent max vs 10 percent on Standard) and a higher profit split on the funded account (90 percent vs 80 percent).
What is TFT Knight challenge?
Knight is a one-phase rapid evaluation: 10 percent profit target with a 5 percent daily-loss and 8 percent maximum drawdown. There is no minimum trading-day requirement, making it suitable for EAs that can hit the target quickly with controlled risk.
Are news EAs allowed on The Funded Trader?
TFT permits news trading on most accounts but restricts holding positions during high-impact releases on the Knight and Rapid models. Always check the current TFT rule version before deploying a news-trading EA.
Can I hold positions over the weekend on TFT?
TFT allows weekend holding on Standard and Royal accounts but restricts it on Knight and Rapid (positions must be closed by Friday 22:00 GMT). EAs for one-phase rapid challenges should include a Friday close trigger.
