i just read in the forum,what a trader wrote about his ea being removed or disallowed by his broker. and i wonder if it is

possible for a broker to know,if a trader is using expert advisor for trading or he is doing manual trading. kindly reply.

Of course you may use Expert Advisors for automated trading in our FXcast Pro trading terminal.
