EAFunded.com is an independent review site for MT5 algo traders. This page explains how we make money, how we decide which firms to cover, and what you can rely on when you read a review here.
How we make money
Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. When you click through to a prop firm or broker and purchase a challenge or open an account, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This is how we fund the research, writing, and hosting behind the site.
Affiliate links are marked in the HTML with rel="nofollow" and open in a new tab. You can always choose to visit a firm directly by typing their address into your browser instead of clicking through our link.
Firms we have affiliate relationships with
As of April 2026, we have active affiliate relationships with the following firms covered on this site: FTMO, FundedNext, Blueberry Funded, Bright Funded, and Vantage Markets (broker).
All other firms on the site (Blue Guardian, E8 Markets, The5ers, Goat Funded Trader, Alpha Capital Group, Lark Funding, Instant Funding, Funded Trading Plus, ATFunded, Nordic Funder, Audacity Capital, FundedElite) are reviewed without any commercial relationship. For those firms, the CTA button goes to the firm's official website, not an affiliate URL.
How we decide what goes in a review
Our affiliate relationships do not decide whether a firm is recommended for EA trading. If a firm with an affiliate relationship has hostile EA rules, the review says so. If a firm without an affiliate relationship has excellent EA rules, the review says that too. The "EA Friendliness" score, the "Watch out for" warning box, and the verdict are written from the perspective of a trader running an automated strategy, not an affiliate partner.
We do not accept payment or gifts in exchange for positive reviews, rankings, or placement on comparison pages.
How we source and verify information
Every firm review is built from publicly available information: the firm's official rules page, terms of service, account specifications, and published policies. We verify critical claims (drawdown type, news windows, HFT rules, profit splits) against the firm's own documentation before publishing.
Prop firm rules change frequently. We refresh each review periodically and timestamp it with a "Last updated" date. If a rule has changed since we last checked, we flag it with "verify on official website before purchasing" in the data table, and you should always confirm the rules that matter to your strategy directly with the firm before funding a challenge.
Not financial advice
Everything on this site is for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on EAFunded.com is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Trading prop firm challenges, currencies, and CFDs involves significant risk. You are responsible for your own trading decisions and for verifying that any firm you fund a challenge with is appropriate for your jurisdiction and risk tolerance.
