Can an AI agent trade a funded account?
Yes — WICK FUNDED has a native one-click MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can connect via OAuth and trade your simulated account within the scope you grant. A native one-click MCP connection is still rare; on most firms you would need a custom platform bridge.
Is letting an AI trade for me against the rules?
On WICK, personal AI-agent automation on your own account is allowed (read, plus optional execute). Typically banned across prop firms: sharing keys, mirroring signals across accounts you do not own, and sustained pure-HFT. All WICK accounts are simulated.
