Based on my review of Pictet’s available information, my experience tells me that automated trading via Expert Advisors (EAs) is typically associated with platforms like MetaTrader 4 or 5. Pictet, however, operates as an established wealth and asset management firm, offering services that range from discretionary asset management to complex alternative investments. The context suggests a strong focus on institutional and high-net-worth clients, with proprietary trading solutions rather than the standard retail forex platforms one might expect for EA deployment. Although the broker is described as having a self-developed platform and providing mature system services with robust risk control, there is no direct mention of MetaTrader support or explicit functionality for automated trading through EAs. In my own cautious approach, I would never assume such a feature exists without formal, documented confirmation, especially when dealing with a firm oriented toward tailored, long-term wealth management rather than retail-level algorithmic trading. For those whose trading methodologies rely on EAs, my advice would be to seek detailed clarification directly from Pictet before making any operational assumptions. My own risk management standards require unambiguous proof of support for automated trading before I would consider entrusting capital or strategy to a broker. As always, when the broker’s main business is bespoke asset management, automated trading via EAs is unlikely unless expressly stated.
