Expert Advisors and algorithmic strategies are allowed for your own trading. What's prohibited is using EAs that exploit the platform (latency/feed arbitrage, tick-scalping the feed) or sharing/managing other people's accounts.
The gotcha
A profitable EA is fine; an EA whose edge is the firm's price feed or simulation lag gets the account voided as gaming the system.
