Based on my research and experience as a trader, Point72 primarily acts as a global alternative investment firm rather than as a typical retail forex broker. Their focus is on institutional investment strategies, such as discretionary long/short equity, systematic investments, global macro, and venture capital, and they operate under strict SFC regulation in Hong Kong. From the information available, there is no clear evidence that Point72 offers a standard trading platform like MetaTrader 4 or 5 where automated trading via Expert Advisors (EAs) is typically supported. Since their business model caters primarily to professional investors and involves tailored investment strategies—rather than self-directed trading accounts—automated trading through EAs for retail investors does not appear to be offered. This distinction is crucial, since EAs function within retail platforms where users have direct access and control over their trades, but Point72 structures its services differently, focusing on managed investments and systematic strategies run internally. I could not find any mention of EA compatibility or standard platform access, and as a cautious trader, I interpret this as a sign that such automated trading tools are not available for individual use. For anyone seeking true EA integration, a broker specializing in retail forex with explicit platform details would be more appropriate.
