The quick answer
If your strategy places trades automatically, funded-account execution rules matter more than evaluation convenience. Topstep-style paths are usually safer to compare before Apex-style constraints.
Static futures alternatives can still be worth checking, but only after the exact automation language is verified.
The common trap
A firm can allow trade copiers, bots, or semi-automated tools during evaluation and still restrict them later. That gap is expensive if your edge depends on automated execution.
If the strategy places trades without your manual discretion, read the funded-account terms before buying.
How to use the quiz
Choose full automation only if execution is actually automated. If you use alerts, scripts, or templates but click manually, semi-automated may be the better fit.
Your result will still show close alternatives so you can compare rule shapes before checkout.
