One decision a day

You're not watching the chart. The EA is.

The whole trade is drawn before you make it — entry, stop and three targets, already on your chart. You make one call a day; the rest stays yours.

  • Entry on the exact candle that triggered it
  • Stop anchored to structure, not a round pip count
  • TP1 / TP2 / TP3 with the risk and reward zones shaded
  • Fires by push, email and a chart alert — even while you sleep
  • Works on MT4 & MT5, any broker, any pair

Signals tab

Every signal filed and scored — losers included

The book keeps every signal the engine has produced, re-read on each closed bar. Nothing is quietly deleted, so what you see is the whole record, not a highlight reel.

  • A 1–5 quality score per signal

    Model, timeframe and entry zone on every row, each rated so you can trade the Q4+ ones and skip the rest.

  • Ran · Missed · Invalid, recorded

    The outcome of each signal is written down and kept — the honest history you'd want before trusting an engine.

  • The day counter resets with the session

    A clean count of what fired today, up to five symbols watched at once and re-scanned continuously.

Yesterday's pivots, drawn as zones not lines

Classic floor-trader pivots for the current chart, built from yesterday's open, high, low and close — and rendered as bands, because price reacts to areas, not to a single hairline.

  • R3 → S3, each with its own band

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

  • Live distance in pips

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

  • The inputs shown, not hidden

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

CSM tab

Which currency is actually strong right now

Twenty-eight crosses reduced to eight currencies and ranked live, so you read the strength of the currency itself — not the noise of one pair's move.

  • Ranked strongest to weakest

    Re-sorted on every update from the full 28-cross matrix, not a single pair's candle.

  • Strongest against weakest

    Pair the top with the bottom and you have the cleanest trend pair on the board — here, EUR against NZD.

  • Broker-agnostic

    Reads the same on every broker and every symbol suffix, so the ranking is comparable wherever you trade.

Session tab

Who's at the desk, and how busy this hour usually is

Asia, Europe and New York on the broker's own clock — GMT offset and daylight saving handled for you — 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 commit.

Chart layers6 off
SMC tab

Twelve chart layers, all off until you ask

Smart-money structure is drawn only when you turn it on. Nothing clutters the chart by default — each layer is its own switch, 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 on load.

  • 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 signal engines — run any, or all three

Every signal comes from one of three models, each reading the market a different way. Run them together for coverage 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.

  • 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.

Strategy tab · the dials

Your dials decide how often it speaks

Each engine exposes its settings in plain language, not cryptic inputs. Loosen for more signals, tighten for fewer — every row tells you which way trades off 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 ICT by hand

The strategy is sound. The execution is where retail traders lose it — and forex punishes exactly the gaps a human can't close.

  • Killzones don't wait for you.

    The highest-probability ICT windows land at 3am or mid-shift, so you miss the setups you waited all day for.

  • Emotion re-writes the plan.

    You widen a stop, skip a valid entry, or chase — and one impulsive click erases a week of disciplined structure reads.

  • Structure is obvious in hindsight, invisible live.

    A liquidity sweep and the return into a fair value gap happen in seconds; blink and the entry is gone.

Market scanner

Scan every forex pair for ICT setups

The EA watches every pair for you and trades the ones that form a valid ICT setup — so you don't have to sit and read 28 charts all day.

  • One panel, every pair

    The whole market sits in a single scanning view instead of 28 charts you flip between.

  • Acts the moment structure completes

    The instant a sweep-and-return validates on any pair, that's the trade — you don't have to be watching it.

  • Only the graded setups

    It surfaces the pairs genuinely setting up and ignores the noise, so nothing fires on a weak read.

The fit

Why IC Markets is a strong home for the ICT EA

The EA is the same on any MT5 broker — what changes is the fill. Here is what running it on an IC Markets account actually buys you.

Raw-spread ECN — your entry at the level, not two pips past it

Raw Spread accounts run from 0.0 pips over deep ECN liquidity, so the return into a fair value gap or the tap of an order block fills where the model drew it. On a killzone entry that gap is the difference between a clean 1:3 and a stopped scratch.

Deep liquidity, clean sweeps

A deep order book means a liquidity grab and the displacement back print as real structure, not slippage noise — so the EA's stops and targets land where the read says they should.

Leverage headroom, risk-based sizing

Up to 1:500 gives room to work, but the EA sizes every trade to the risk you set — not the leverage — so the headroom is there without ever turning into over-exposure.

Regulated, EA-friendly, one file

ASIC · CySEC · FSA oversight and an explicit EA-allowed policy on MT5 — and because the build is broker-agnostic, you keep the IC Markets account you already trust. No migration.

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.

One trading day

How the EA trades one forex day

Here is what a normal day looks like when the EA trades for you, step by step.

  1. 02:00
    Quiet hours

    You're asleep. The EA isn't.

    The dead Asian hours offer nothing worth trading, so it watches and waits instead of forcing a setup.

  2. 07:00
    London opens

    Liquidity builds under the low.

    Price sweeps the sell-side liquidity resting below the low — the EA flags the setup forming inside the killzone.

  3. 07:14
    Setup validates

    Sweep + FVG return — the order fires.

    A valid entry lines up; the order is in the market in under 10ms with its stop and target already attached.

  4. 09:30
    Managed to target

    Stop trailed, target tagged.

    The trade walks to its target under the EA's rules while you get on with your day — you never touched it.

  5. 13:30
    New York opens

    Second killzone, same discipline.

    The engine resets and runs the New York window exactly the same way — no fatigue, no FOMO.

Who it's for

Who this forex EA is for

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

This is for you if

  • You keep missing killzone setups because they land while you sleep or work.
  • Your results swing with your mood, not your strategy.
  • You want ICT executed with a discipline you shouldn't have to summon at 3am.
  • You already trade MT5 and want to keep the broker you trust.

This isn't for you if

  • You're hunting a guaranteed win — no honest tool, including this one, can promise that.
  • You only want an arrow and intend to place every trade by hand.
  • You're brand new and want to learn ICT from scratch before automating it.

Reviews

Reviews from traders

Traders on running the ICT AI Signal EA day to day.

  • Emiliano R. IC Markets trader · via Trustpilot
    On IC Markets' Raw Spread account the entry lands right at the order block, not a few pips into a markup. The from-0.0 pricing is what keeps the EA's tight stops honest.
  • Dewi S. IC Markets client · via Discord
    The fills stay clean straight through the London and New York killzones — IC Markets' deep liquidity handles the fast moves without the spread blowing out on me.
  • Joaquin B. IC Markets trader · via Google Reviews
    AutoTrading was just a toggle, the EA dropped straight onto MT5, and knowing the account sits under ASIC oversight made leaving it running unattended an easy decision.
Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How does the EA connect to IC Markets?

It runs natively inside IC Markets' MetaTrader 5 — no bridge and no third-party connector. Load the one file on your MT5 account and it trades there directly.

Which IC Markets account is best?

A Raw Spread MT5 account gives the tightest fills, which is what an ICT model wants. Any MetaTrader 5 account type works, though.

Does it work on Raw Spread accounts?

Yes — and they're the best fit. Raw Spread's near-zero spreads land your killzone entry at the level instead of a couple of pips past it.

Which IC Markets platform do I need?

MetaTrader 5. The EA is an MT5 Expert Advisor, so pick an MT5 IC Markets account — not MT4 or cTrader.

Does it run on IC Markets cTrader?

No — the EA is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor, so it runs on IC Markets' MT5 accounts, not cTrader.

Does IC Markets allow EAs?

Yes — IC Markets permits Expert Advisors on MetaTrader 5. Always confirm the current terms on their own site before you start.

Do I need to leave MT5 running?

Yes — the EA trades while your MT5 terminal is on. A VPS keeps it covering the killzones around the clock.

Do I need a VPS?

Not required, but most traders use one so the London and New York killzones are covered even when their own machine is off.

Can I use my own settings?

Yes. You control the risk per trade and can pause or adjust the EA at any time.

What leverage should I use?

That's between you and IC Markets. The EA sizes each trade against the risk you set, not the account leverage, so it stays disciplined whatever you choose.

Is my capital at risk?

Yes. Trading carries substantial risk and nothing is guaranteed. The EA enforces a stop and risk cap per trade, but losses are possible — read our risk warning.

What will it cost me?

The EA license is free for life. You fund your own IC Markets account as usual — that's between you and the broker.

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.

IC Markets — licences & EA policy

IC Markets is a multi-entity forex/CFD broker; which regulator covers your account depends on which entity you sign up with, and its account terms explicitly cover automated trading.

  • Regulated across multiple entities: International Capital Markets Pty Ltd holds ASIC AFS Licence 335692 (Australia), IC Markets (EU) Ltd holds CySEC Licence 362/18 (Cyprus, EU passporting), and Raw Trading Ltd (IC Markets Global) is licensed by the Seychelles FSA under SD018 — read the account terms for the entity you actually onboard with, since protections differ by jurisdiction.
  • IC Markets' MT4/MT5 and cTrader platforms place no platform-side restriction on Expert Advisors or algorithmic trading; EAs, scalping and high-frequency strategies are explicitly permitted, including on Raw Spread/ECN accounts commonly used for automated systems.
  • Retail clients on the CySEC (EU) entity get negative-balance protection and leverage capped at 1:30, while Seychelles FSA and ASIC entities can offer materially higher leverage with fewer retail protections — know which entity holds your account before you let an EA trade it unattended.
  • An EA still trades under the account terms you accepted: margin calls, stop-outs and swap/rollover rules apply exactly as they would to a manual order, so automated losses are not treated differently from manual ones.

Forex & CFD market risks

What to weigh before you run any EA on a leveraged forex/CFD account.

  • Regulators consistently report that the majority of retail CFD accounts lose money; automating the entries does not change that base rate.
  • Leverage amplifies both directions — a small adverse move can erase a large share of margin, and a weekend gap or news spike can fill a stop far worse than its level.
  • Execution quality (spread, slippage, requotes) varies by broker and account type and directly affects an ICT entry that depends on a precise fill at an order block or fair value gap.

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.
