Find the prop firm that fits how you trade.
Answer five questions and get one firm, one challenge and the reasons, line by line, each one you can check on the firm's own site. Built for traders who use an EA: it knows which firms let Tier Aurora and other expert advisors trade. Your pick opens in a free TierAlba account and arrives by email.
How the pick is made.
First, what you cannot use. If you trade with an EA, the firms that forbid automated trading are out, and so are the programs where your size or platform is not allowed. Tier Aurora runs on MetaTrader 5, so for it only MT5 programs count.
Then, three scores. Room before a breach: daily and maximum loss, static or trailing, targets and minimum days. Cost: the fee for every 1,000 dollars of capital, lower when it is refunded. Payouts: profit split and how fast they arrive.
Your priority weighs the most. The score you choose counts three times the other two. The highest total is your pick, the next two from other firms are the alternatives.
Every reason can be checked. Each line of the pick comes straight from the program's rules, with a link to the firm's site and the date we checked it.
Partners never move the order. Some firms are TierAlba partners and pay a commission. The score ignores it: a partner code appears only when the partner is already the pick.
Today the picker chooses among the main programs of FTMO, FundedNext, FXIFY and BrightFunded. We add firms every month.
Questions about choosing a prop firm.
Which prop firm is best for an EA?
The one whose rules give an automated strategy the most room at the size you want: a static maximum loss, a daily limit that fits several losing trades and a firm that allows expert advisors. The picker filters out the firms that forbid EAs and weighs the rest on your priority.
Can I use Tier Aurora on any prop firm?
No. Some firms forbid automated trading and others allow it only with conditions, such as FundedNext, which allows EAs on MetaTrader 5 below 50,000 dollars with a paid add-on. The picker only suggests programs where Tier Aurora can run, and tells you the preset to use.
Is a 1-step or a 2-step challenge easier?
A 1-step challenge has one target but usually a tighter daily loss and maximum loss. A 2-step challenge asks for two targets but they are lower and the limits are wider, which gives a strategy more room. If you choose No preference, the picker compares both.
Does TierAlba earn money from the pick?
Some firms are TierAlba partners and pay a commission when you buy through our link. The pick never depends on that: it is computed only from the rules and your answers, and a partner code appears only when the partner is already the pick.
Do I need an account to see my pick?
Yes, a free one. Your pick opens in your TierAlba dashboard, in Prop Match, and we email it to you. No card is needed, and the account also gives you the free journal and Tier Guard on one account.
How current are the rules and prices?
Each program shows the date it was checked. Firms change rules and prices often, so always confirm on the firm's own site before you buy.
Rules and prices checked on 5 November 2026. Rules change: read the firm's current rules before you buy.
Picked your firm? Let Tier Aurora pass it.
Tier Aurora is our prop firm EA: it reads the rules of your program, sizes every trade on the room left and stops before the limits. With Tier Pass you get the EA, the dashboard and a re-run if the first attempt fails.
