In my own experience with GUOSEN FUTURES, the availability of various trading platforms was a significant aspect to evaluate. The broker supports several advanced terminals, including proprietary desktop software like the CTP—Boyi Cloud Trading Edition and client versions suitable for macOS. While these offer some flexibility, I noticed no explicit integration with globally popular platforms such as MetaTrader 4 or 5, where the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) for automated trading is common and well-documented. The broker does provide access to programmatic and API trading options. For someone like me, who is comfortable with developing or customizing algorithmic trading strategies, API access might theoretically make automation possible. However, this approach requires technical skills and often deeper knowledge of both trading infrastructures and programming, rather than simply uploading or purchasing EAs as on MT4/MT5. Moreover, because GUOSEN FUTURES focuses primarily on domestic Chinese futures markets and operates regulated by CFFEX, platform customizability and third-party integration seem limited. I did not find a clear, user-friendly pathway for plug-and-play automated strategies as one might expect with established international platforms. Therefore, while some forms of automation are possible via APIs, traditional Expert Advisors as typically understood in the forex world are not natively supported here. For traders prioritizing easy EA deployment, this limitation is worth careful consideration.
