One decision a day

The market never sleeps. So the EA doesn't either.

The whole trade is drawn before you make it: entry, stop and three targets, already on your chart. A setup can fire at 3am or over the weekend and sit there waiting; you check in when you can, and the engine keeps the watch while you're asleep or at work.

  • Entry on the exact candle that triggered it
  • Stop anchored to structure, not a round-number level
  • TP1 / TP2 / TP3 with the risk and reward zones shaded
  • Fires by push, email and an on-chart alert, at any hour
  • Works on MT4 & MT5, any crypto exchange, any coin

Every signal logged and scored: the losers too

The book keeps every signal the engine has printed across your coins, re-read on each closed bar. Nothing is quietly deleted, so what you see is the full record, not a highlight reel of green candles.

  • A 1–5 quality score per signal

    Model, timeframe and entry zone on every row, each rated so you take the Q4+ setups and skip the noise.

  • Ran · Missed · Invalid, on record

    The outcome of every signal is written down and kept: the honest history you'd want before trusting an engine with your coins.

  • The day counter resets at 00:00 UTC

    A clean count of what fired today, up to five coins watched at once and re-scanned around the clock.

The prior day's pivots, mapped as zones not hairlines

Classic floor-trader pivots for the coin on your chart, built from yesterday's open, high, low and close, and rendered as bands, because price reacts to areas, and a wick rarely respects a single hairline.

  • R3 → S3, each with its own band

    The full pivot ladder plus the central pivot, so you can see which zone price is really trading into.

  • Live distance in points

    How far price sits from every level right now, updating on the tick, no measuring the wick by eye.

  • The inputs shown, not hidden

    Yesterday's O/H/L/C sit on the card so you can check the maths, and one switch puts the whole set on the chart.

Read the coin, not one pair's wick

The major crypto crosses reduced to eight coins and ranked live, so you read the strength of the coin itself, not the noise of a single pair's candle.

  • Ranked strongest to weakest

    Re-sorted on every update from the full cross-pair matrix, not a single coin's candle.

  • Strongest against weakest

    Pair the top coin with the bottom and you have the cleanest trend pair on the board. Here, BTC against AVAX.

  • Exchange-agnostic

    Reads the same on every exchange and every symbol suffix, so the ranking holds wherever you trade.

Session tab

No open, no close, but the tape still has a rhythm

Asia, Europe and US liquidity are all live at once (crypto trades round the clock, so no bell opens or closes it) beside a 24-hour volatility profile built from the last 20 days, so you know whether this hour is normally quiet, medium or busy before you size in.

SMC tab

Twelve smart-money layers, dark until you call them

Smart-money structure is drawn only when you switch it on. Nothing clutters the coin's chart by default: each layer is its own toggle, so you build exactly the view you read from.

  • One switch per layer

    Market and internal structure, swing points, premium/discount, FVG, iFVG, BPR, Unicorn, Inducement, SFP, sessions and levels.

  • Clean by default

    Everything starts off, so the chart shows only what you chose, no wall of boxes the moment a coin loads.

  • Layers and zones stay in sync

    Flip a zone's layer and its live count follows, because on the panel the switch and the drawing are one setting.

Three engines reading every coin at once

Every signal comes from one of three models, each reading the market a different way. Run them together for full coverage across your coins or single one out, and each keeps its own count of what's live in the book.

  • Turbo Breakout (A)

    Reactions at levels the market built earlier and returned to: fast, structure-led entries that suit crypto's pace.

  • MasterAI (B)

    The AI-weighted model, blending the confluence signals into a single scored read.

  • Rayan (C)

    The confirmation-heavy engine for traders who want fewer, higher-conviction setups through the noise.

Your dials set how loud each engine gets

Each engine exposes its settings in plain language, not cryptic inputs. Loosen for more signals when you want to catch every move, tighten for fewer when the tape turns choppy: every row tells you which way it trades frequency against selectivity.

  • Strictness in one row

    Slide from Vloose to Vtight to move the whole engine between more setups and cleaner ones.

  • Filters you can read

    Quality filter, structure needed, reaction room, level lifetime and settling time: each with a plain hint.

  • New settings apply from here on

    Change a dial and it affects future bars; what's already in the book keeps the settings it was found under.

Manual ICT trading vs. an automated EA

Same ICT strategy: the difference is who does the work. Here is trading by hand next to the EA, side by side.

Around-the-clock ICT

Bitcoin Trading Bot on MT5 That Trades ICT Setups 24/7

This bitcoin trading bot is an MT5 Expert Advisor that reads ICT and Smart Money setups on BTC/USD around the clock and fires the instant one triggers. Bitcoin has no close, so the 4am liquidity grab you would sleep through becomes a trade taken: the EA reads the liquidity sweep and the return into the fair value gap, then places the order in milliseconds. The whole trade is drawn on your MetaTrader 5 chart first, with entry on the exact candle that triggered it, a stop anchored to structure rather than a round number, and three take-profit targets. One symbol, always watched, on a free lifetime license.

Show one BTCUSD long read end to end: the liquidity sweep under a night-time low, the entry filled inside the planned band at the level rather than chased, the stop under the swept low and the targets above, with a coin standing beside the chart.
Show BTCUSD as a three-rung ladder: the daily chart with the prior day's pivot bands, a 5m pane where liquidity is swept and price returns into the FVG, and a 1m pane where the order fires at the level.

One symbol, fully watched

BTC Trading Bot Reading Daily Pivot Zones, M5 and M1 Scans

This BTC trading bot keeps one symbol, BTC/USD, in a single scanning view around the clock, so there is no chart to keep checking at odd hours. For context it maps the prior day's pivot zones: classic floor-trader pivots built from yesterday's open, high, low and close and drawn as bands, because price reacts to areas rather than hairlines, with the live distance to each level updating on the tick. Beneath that, the scanner re-reads BTC/USD on both M5 and M1, flagging a sweep, a coil or an FVG return, and the EA trades whichever setup validates first.

Weekend liquidity

Why the Bitcoin Bot Sizes Down When Weekend Liquidity Thins

Bitcoin trades 24/7, but its weekend volume is thinner, and thin liquidity can spike price through a level and back before Monday's volume returns. Those weekend gaps distort the levels a hand-watched chart relies on and catch manual stops off guard. So the bitcoin bot sizes down over the weekend instead of over-trading a gap-prone tape, while every stop stays anchored to structure and the risk you set when loading the EA still governs each order. The watch never pauses. Trading carries risk of loss, and on Bitcoin a single candle can move double-digit percentages.

Compare the weekday tape with the weekend tape side by side: fuller against thinner volume, your set risk against a sized-down position, and the same around-the-clock watch and structure stop on both sides.
Show a BTCUSD ICT setup read on the 24/7 tape flowing into the EA running on your MT5 account, then out to three exchange logos from the supported list: Binance, Bybit and OKX.

Your exchange account

Bitcoin Robot on the MT5 Exchange Account You Already Have

You do not have to move venues to run this bitcoin robot. Bitcoin trades through any of the 18 MT5-connected exchanges the EA supports, from Binance, Coinbase and Kraken to OKX, Bybit and KuCoin, and the EA runs on the exchange account you already have, trading through an API key. Licences and protections differ sharply by exchange, from licensed to largely offshore, so read your exchange's own rulebook before you connect a key. Many exchanges sit outside deposit-insurance schemes, funds held there carry custody and counterparty risk, and trading itself carries risk of loss.

Free lifetime license

Get a Free Bitcoin Trading Bot License in Three Steps

The free bitcoin trading bot license costs nothing for life. We are an introducing broker, so it is funded by our broker partnerships rather than by you, while a similar 24/7 BTC EA sold elsewhere goes for $300 to $500 one-time. Getting it takes three steps. Message the support team to claim your free lifetime license, with no card and no subscription. Open the partner account support points you to for Bitcoin and fund it as usual. Then drop the EA on a MetaTrader 5 chart, set your risk and enable auto-trading. Trading carries risk of loss, so read the Risk Warning first.

Show one BTCUSD long plan at true scale: entry, the stop below structure and three targets above, with a size note saying you set the risk before enabling auto-trading.
The problem

The problem with trading Bitcoin ICT by hand

The concepts travel to Bitcoin perfectly. Your sleep schedule does not, and BTC's weekend liquidity gaps punish exactly that.

  • Bitcoin has no close.

    The clean liquidity grab you'd have taken happens at 4am your time, and you wake up to the move already gone.

  • Weekend gaps distort the levels.

    Thin weekend liquidity can spike price through a level and back before Monday, a setup a hand-watched chart simply misses.

  • BTC moves faster than your fingers.

    A sweep and displacement can play out in one candle: manual entry is a coin-flip on whether you're filled at the level or chasing it.

Market scanner

Scan Bitcoin for ICT setups

The EA watches BTC/USD around the clock and trades the moment it forms a valid ICT setup, at any hour, so a 4am move isn't a missed one.

  • One symbol, fully watched

    BTC/USD sits in a single scanning view around the clock instead of a chart you have to keep checking.

  • Acts at any hour

    A 4am liquidity grab is a trade taken, not a screenshot you regret over coffee.

  • Only the graded setups

    It surfaces genuine structure and sits out the noise of a flat, chop-prone tape.

24/7 coverage

How the EA trades Bitcoin 24/7

Bitcoin never closes, so the EA covers the hours you can't. Here is a full day, step by step.

  1. 03:40
    Deep night

    A 4am liquidity grab sets up.

    The move you'd have wanted forms while you sleep, on a 24/7 tape there's no 'after hours' to excuse the miss.

  2. 03:41
    Order fires

    Sweep + displacement: taken.

    The EA reads the grab and the return into the fair value gap and places the order in milliseconds.

  3. 06:15
    Managed to target

    Target tagged while you slept.

    Stop and target rode the order from the start; you wake to a closed trade, not the one you missed.

  4. Saturday
    Weekend gap watch

    Thin liquidity, sized down.

    Weekend volume is thinner, so the EA sizes accordingly instead of over-trading a gap-prone tape.

  5. 21:30
    Evening break

    Another window, same rules.

    A fresh liquidity sweep, another disciplined entry: the coverage never clocks off.

Who it's for

Who this Bitcoin EA is for

It's built for one kind of BTC trader, and honest about who it isn't for.

This is for you if

  • You keep waking up to the BTC move you'd have taken if you'd been awake.
  • Weekend liquidity gaps have caught your manual stops off guard before.
  • You want one-candle Bitcoin moves executed at the level, not chased.
  • You want a Smart Money edge on BTC alone, covered around the clock.

This isn't for you if

  • You expect a guaranteed win: Bitcoin's volatility guarantees the opposite is always possible.
  • You'd rather hand-trade every setup and only want an alert.
  • You want to learn ICT from zero before letting anything automate it.

    I stopped waking up to the move I missed. The 4am BTC grabs just get taken now.
  • Elena R. Bitcoin · via Trustpilot
    Weekend gaps used to catch me every time. The sizing already accounts for that now.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why a Bitcoin-only EA instead of the full crypto build?

BTC/USD moves differently from the rest of the coin market. This build is tuned to Bitcoin's own volatility and weekend gaps instead of a generic multi-coin template.

Do I need a separate connector?

It runs natively inside MetaTrader 5 on your exchange or broker's BTC/USD feed, no bridge and no extra software sitting between the EA and your account.

Do I share my exchange password?

Never. Where an API key is used, it carries trade permissions only (not your login, and not withdrawal rights), so the EA can place orders but your funds stay yours.

Which exchanges are supported?

The exchanges shown in the roster above each offer BTC/USD on MT5. Message support to confirm your exchange's exact setup.

Does it trade around the clock?

Yes, Bitcoin never closes and neither does the EA, as long as your MT5 terminal is running (most traders use a VPS for uninterrupted coverage).

Do I need my PC on all the time?

The EA trades while MetaTrader 5 is running. Most traders run it on a VPS so the 24/7 tape is always covered without their own machine on.

What about weekend liquidity gaps?

The engine reads BTC's thinner weekend liquidity into its structure and sizing, rather than treating every hour the same as a weekday session.

Can I set my own risk per trade?

Yes. You control the risk per trade and can pause or adjust the EA at any time. It never trades outside the limits you set.

Is my capital at risk?

Yes. Bitcoin is highly volatile and no outcome is guaranteed. The EA enforces a stop and risk cap on every trade, but you can still lose money. Read our risk warning first.

What does it cost?

The license is free for life, activated in a couple of steps with our 24/7 support team. No subscription.

Is it really free, what's the catch?

Genuinely free, for life. We're an introducing broker: when you trade through a partner account, the broker pays us a commission, so the tool stays free to you. No subscription, no card, and the EA itself is never something you pay for.

Does it repaint or is it a black box?

No. Entries follow fixed ICT rules and aren't redrawn after the fact, and the logic is legible Smart Money Concepts (order blocks, fair value gaps, killzones, liquidity), not an opaque arrow you can't reason about.

Can I see real results?

The examples on this page are illustrative while we wire the verified signal log; dated real trades, wins and losses, replace them at launch. No result is ever guaranteed. Read our risk warning before you start.

What happens on a losing trade?

Every order carries a hard stop and a risk cap, so a losing trade stays a small, planned loss, never an account event. Losses are part of any real strategy; the EA's job is to keep each one contained.

  • Crypto exchanges range from licensed: a MiCA authorisation in the EU, a US state money-transmitter licence or NYDFS BitLicense, a MAS licence in Singapore, to largely offshore and lightly supervised, so the protections you get vary enormously.
  • The EA trades through an API key you generate yourself: enable trade permissions only, never withdrawals, and IP-restrict the key where the exchange supports it.
  • Automated / API trading is permitted by the major exchanges, but rate limits, self-trade prevention and market-maker terms differ. Check the exchange's own API terms.

Bitcoin market risks

What to weigh before you run any EA on a Bitcoin exchange account.

  • Bitcoin is highly volatile and trades 24/7; a single candle can move double-digit percentages, and thin weekend liquidity can amplify a move before Monday's volume returns.
  • Many exchanges sit outside deposit-insurance or investor-compensation schemes: funds held on an exchange carry custody and counterparty risk if it halts withdrawals or fails.
  • An exchange API key is a security surface: a leaked trade-only key can still be used to move your open positions, so scope, IP-lock and rotate it carefully.

Official sources

Global regulators

The international bodies that oversee automated and retail trading. These references hold wherever you run the EA: confirm the rules for your own jurisdiction before you enable AutoTrading.

  • Under the EU's MiFID II, firms running algorithmic strategies must keep pre-trade risk controls, governance and testing in place. ESMA extended that scrutiny to AI-driven trading systems in 2026.
  • The FCA (UK) and ASIC (Australia) cap retail CFD leverage from 30:1 down to 2:1 and require negative-balance protection: a hard limit on the exposure any EA can take on a retail account.
  • Regulators consistently report that most retail CFD accounts lose money; automating the entries does not change that base rate.
  • CySEC, the FCA, ASIC and the CFTC all warn that an 'AI trading bot' promising guaranteed or risk-free returns is itself a fraud red flag: legitimate automation never guarantees a result.

Regulators

United States

US persons face a distinct set of rules for automated forex, futures and securities trading, and a specific regulator advisory aimed at trading bots.

  • The CFTC's advisory “AI Won't Turn Trading Bots into Money Machines” names automated-bot and AI-signal scams directly: one fake-AI forex-bot case ended in a $3.4 billion judgment.
  • Retail off-exchange forex dealers must register with the CFTC and be NFA Forex Dealer Members; soliciting retail forex orders, including for an automated system, requires NFA registration.
  • The SEC, NASAA and FINRA jointly warn that a phrase like “our proprietary AI system can't lose” signals an unregistered scheme, not legitimate automation.
  • FINRA Rule 3110 makes member firms supervise, test and register the people behind an algorithmic strategy: the institutional bar for 'supervised' automated trading.
