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.

Strategy tab · the dials

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.

The problem

The problem with trading crypto ICT by hand

The concepts travel to crypto perfectly. Your sleep schedule does not — and that gap is where the setups you wanted slip past.

  • The market 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.

  • Third-party bridges are fragile.

    Wiring an exchange to MT5 usually means a flaky connector that drops right when volatility spikes.

  • Crypto 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 every coin for ICT setups

The EA watches your whole coin list and trades the ones that form a valid ICT setup — at any hour, so a 4am move isn't a missed one.

  • One panel, every coin

    Your whole watchlist sits in a single scanning view instead of a wall of open charts.

  • Acts at any hour

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

  • Only the graded setups

    It surfaces the coins genuinely setting up and sits out the noise of a flat, chop-prone tape.

The fit

Why CoinEx is a strong home for the ICT EA

The EA reads structure the same way everywhere. What CoinEx changes is how many markets it can read, and how tightly you can lock down the key it trades with.

1,200+ coins listed — the model gets a far wider hunting ground

CoinEx lists over 1,200 assets across roughly 1,600 spot pairs and 200-plus perpetual futures markets, and it lists small and mid-cap tokens far earlier than the majors-only venues. That matters for an ICT strategy, because a clean liquidity sweep followed by displacement into a fair value gap shows up far more often on a thin, newly-listed alt than on a pair a thousand desks are already arbitraging. The EA scans every market you enable, so a wider shelf simply means more setups reaching the entry criteria in a given week.

CoinEx connector inside the build

SignalBots already ships a CoinEx MT5 connector, and the EA build for CoinEx carries it internally — one file on the chart, no separate bridge process to keep alive next to MetaTrader.

An IP-bound, trade-only key

CoinEx lets you bind an API key to a fixed IP address and enable trading without ever granting withdrawal rights, so the key your VPS uses is useless anywhere else and cannot move a single coin off the account.

Spot and perpetuals under one symbol scheme

CoinEx names spot and futures markets the same way — BTCUSDT, no separator — so switching the EA between a spot pair and its perpetual contract is a symbol change, not a re-mapping exercise.

Comparison

ICT EA vs. a signal indicator

A signal indicator only points at a setup — you still have to place, size and manage the trade yourself. Here is what the EA does instead.

24/7 coverage

How the EA trades crypto 24/7

Crypto 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 through the built-in connector 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. 14:00
    Midday chop

    Nothing clean — nothing taken.

    No valid structure means no trade; the EA sits out the noise instead of over-trading a flat 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 crypto EA is for

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

This is for you if

  • You keep waking up to the move you'd have taken if you'd been awake.
  • You're tired of flaky third-party bridges dropping at the worst moment.
  • You want one-candle crypto moves executed at the level, not chased.
  • You want a Smart Money edge covered around the clock.

This isn't for you if

  • You expect a guaranteed win — crypto'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.
Get running

  4. 4

    Set your risk caps and go live

    Drop the EA on a CoinEx chart in MT5, paste the Access ID and Secret Key, set per-trade and account-level risk, then let it map structure and execute on its own.

Pricing

What the ICT crypto EA costs

A Smart Money EA with an exchange connector normally sells for hundreds. Ours — connector included — is free for life.

Sold on other sites

A tool like this, elsewhere

$300–500

one-time — or billed to you every month

And here's the catch

  • Connector sold separately
  • Hundreds paid upfront
  • Features behind paid upsells
  • Setup billed by the hour

That's the going rate — connector and all. We don't charge it.

    Binding the API key to my VPS address and leaving withdrawals switched off was what convinced me. Worst case someone gets the key and still cannot take a coin off the account.

    Moving the EA from the BTCUSDT spot pair to the perpetual took one field, because CoinEx writes both symbols the same way. On my old exchange that was an afternoon of remapping.
Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How does the EA connect to CoinEx?

Through a CoinEx-specific MT5 build with the exchange connector compiled into it. You paste a trade-only Access ID and Secret Key into the EA inside MetaTrader 5, and it talks to CoinEx's v2 API directly - there is no separate bridge program to install, update or keep running.

Does CoinEx allow bots and automated trading?

Yes. CoinEx publishes a full public API at docs.coinex.com covering spot and futures, with an integration guide and its own API management console for issuing keys. Programmatic order placement is a supported, documented use of the account.

Why does my CoinEx API key need an IP whitelist?

Two reasons. A key bound to one IP is worthless to anyone who copies it from somewhere else, and CoinEx expires unbound keys after 90 days - so an unbound key will silently stop the EA a quarter after you set it up. Bind it to your MT5 machine or VPS address and it keeps working.

Can the EA withdraw from my CoinEx account?

No, and it should never be able to. You enable the trade permission on the key and leave withdrawal off. CoinEx also puts API withdrawals behind a separate withdrawal-address whitelist, so a trade-only key cannot move funds even in principle.

Is CoinEx available to traders in the United States?

No. Under a June 2023 consent order with the New York Attorney General, CoinEx is barred from operating in New York, cannot open new US accounts, and geoblocks New York IP addresses. If you are US-based, the EA runs on one of our other supported exchanges or on an MT5 broker instead.

Which CoinEx markets can the EA trade?

Spot pairs and perpetual futures, including CoinEx's linear USDT/USDC-margined contracts and its inverse coin-margined ones. Because CoinEx writes both as a single string like BTCUSDT, pointing the EA at a perpetual instead of the spot pair is a one-field change.

Does the wide CoinEx listing shelf actually help the strategy?

It widens the search, not the win rate. More listed pairs mean more charts where a liquidity sweep and displacement into a fair value gap can set up in a given week; the EA still only takes the ones that meet its structure and killzone criteria, and you still cap risk per trade.

Do I need MT5, or will MT4 work?

MT5 only. The CoinEx connector, the symbol mapping and the order routing are all built against MetaTrader 5, and there is no MT4 equivalent.

Do I have to leave my computer on?

The EA only trades while MT5 is running and connected. Crypto runs around the clock, so a small VPS is the usual answer - otherwise the EA stops the moment your machine sleeps or drops its connection.

Can I download the CoinEx build straight from this page?

Not yet. Exchange builds go out through support rather than a self-serve download, so message the team and they will set up your license and send you the CoinEx file.

Is the license really free?

Yes, for life, with no card and no subscription. SignalBots earns an Introducing Broker commission from CoinEx on your trading activity, and that is what funds the tool instead of a license fee.

What is the risk?

Real, and on your own capital. CoinEx perpetuals are leveraged, its long tail of small-cap listings is thinner than the majors, and backtested ICT structure describes historical behaviour rather than future results - read the risk warning before you connect a funded account.

Compliance & regulation

The rules, risks & regulators behind automated trading

The platform’s own conditions, the market’s risks, and the regulators that oversee it — organised in one place so you can check each before you automate a single trade.

CoinEx — licence status & API key policy

CoinEx is the exchange the ICT EA sends its orders to, so its regulatory footprint and its API key rules are your rules once the bot is live. Read these before you issue a key.

  • CoinEx (launched 2017 by the ViaBTC group) holds no Tier-1 market-conduct licence. It registered with Estonia's Financial Intelligence Unit in 2019 and obtained a Polish VASP registration in May 2024 — both are anti-money-laundering registrations covering crypto exchange and wallet services, not investor-protection licences of the kind the FCA, SEC, CFTC or ASIC issue.
  • CoinEx is closed to US traders. Under a June 2023 consent order with the New York Attorney General it repaid over $1.1 million to 4,691 New York investors, paid more than $600,000 in penalties, is barred from offering securities or commodities in New York, may not open new US accounts, and must geoblock New York IP addresses. Existing US customers were limited to withdrawing their balances.
  • API trading is officially supported and documented (docs.coinex.com covers spot and futures over REST and WebSocket, authenticated with an HMAC-SHA256 signature). Permissions are set per key, so an EA key should carry the trade scope only — withdrawals stay off, and CoinEx additionally gates API withdrawals behind a separate withdrawal-address whitelist.
  • Bind the key to an IP address. CoinEx expires any API key that is not bound to an IP whitelist after 90 days, and a new or edited key needs roughly 10–15 minutes to take effect — so an unbound key will stop your EA mid-quarter without warning.
  • As an offshore venue, CoinEx carries counterparty and platform risk on top of ordinary market risk: your balance and your API access both depend on the exchange's own solvency and security controls, with no external regulator standing behind user funds. Its long tail of small-cap listings is also thinner than the majors, so slippage on those pairs can be materially worse than a backtest assumes.

Crypto market risks

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

  • Crypto is highly volatile and trades 24/7; a single candle can move double-digit percentages, and perpetual-futures liquidations can cascade in seconds.
  • 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.
