Built from the rulebook, not marketed to it

Most EAs were written for retail accounts and sold to prop firm buyers afterwards, which is why they breach rules while trading perfectly well. This one started from the rules: the daily drawdown guard will not open a position that could cross your cap, and the max loss stop disables the EA and emails you rather than letting it run into the floor at 2am.

The four rules that actually end accounts

Daily loss limit, measured from the reset time in the firm timezone rather than your broker server time. Maximum drawdown, which behaves completely differently depending on whether the firm uses static or trailing. Consistency, where the EA paces daily profit instead of taking the whole target in one session. News, where high impact releases are avoided by default.

Validated setfiles, and what that means

Setfiles are tested against historical data and then forward tested, rather than optimised until the backtest looks good. A parameter chosen because it produced the best result on the test period is no longer evidence about that period, which is the defect in most of the free EA ecosystem.

Four modes, one licence

Scalp for tight intraday work, Trend for daily and 4h swings, Grid for funded accounts only, and Hedge for news and recovery. Run them separately or together. The licence unlocks all four, so you are not buying a strategy that stops suiting the market.

Live monitoring from the dashboard

The EA sends heartbeat data so you can see balance, equity, open trades, drawdown and connection status without opening the terminal. That matters more than it sounds: the most common failure in self-hosted automation is nobody noticing the EA detached three days ago.

MT4, MT5, and your own broker

You receive MetaTrader-compatible files and run them on your own terminal at your own broker. Your account, your login, your withdrawal rights. We never trade on your behalf and never hold funds.

What it does not do

It cannot assure completion of an evaluation, and any vendor telling you otherwise is describing marketing rather than software. It cannot make a losing strategy profitable, and it will not save an account sized wrongly for the drawdown rule. What it does is remove the failure modes that are mechanical rather than strategic.

Ready to run it on your own account?

You keep the account, the login and the withdrawal rights. We never hold funds and never trade on your behalf.

Common questions

Does the JPTC EA work for prop firm challenges?

It is built around prop firm risk rules, but no EA can assure completion and any vendor claiming otherwise is selling marketing. Results depend on market conditions, broker execution, account size and the risk settings you choose.

Do customers keep control of their own account?

Yes. You run the EA on your own MT4 or MT5 terminal at your own broker. JPTradingCapital does not custody funds and does not log in to trade for you.

Is a VPS required?

Recommended for stable 24/5 operation, since the EA cannot act while the terminal is closed. It runs on any reliable MetaTrader terminal with internet access. If you would rather not maintain one, our hosted algo removes that job entirely.

What is the difference between the EA Hub and the hosted algo?

The EA Hub is software you run yourself: you install it, you choose the setfile, you keep full control, and there is no account minimum because you set the sizing. The hosted algo is the opposite trade: we run it on our infrastructure and connect to your account, so there is nothing to install and no VPS, with a practical minimum of around 1,000 euro.

Which prop firms does it work with?

It is built for the common rule shapes rather than for one firm, so it works wherever EAs are permitted, which is almost everywhere. The rules that vary and matter are copy trading, minimum holding time, news restrictions and the drawdown calculation. We keep a maintained view of those per firm on the blog.

What does it cost?

A one-time 797 euro for the EA Hub, or 1,497 for Pro which adds the tuned grid setfiles and Strategy Hunter. The bundle is 2,499. All include VAT. No monthly fee and no profit share on anything you make.

Can I use it on more than one account?

Each licence is bound to a specific MT4 or MT5 account number, and you can regenerate it from the dashboard in about thirty seconds if you switch accounts. Note that running the same setfile across several prop firm accounts can be read as copy trading by the firm, which is a rule question rather than a licensing one.

How is it different from a free EA from MQL5 or GitHub?

Most free EAs are grid or martingale systems whose equity drawdown is far larger than the closed-trade drawdown they advertise, which is why they look excellent until the first bad week. The difference here is the risk layer: a hard daily guard, a max loss stop, and setfiles that were forward tested rather than optimised until the curve looked right.

What happens if it stops working?

The dashboard shows connection status and the EA emails you when it disables itself on a max drawdown stop. Support is included with the licence, and updates are free for the life of the licence.

Is there a refund?

Refundable within 14 days provided the software has not traded. Once it has placed trades on a live account we cannot take it back, which is the honest limit of a software refund.
