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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Razor raw pricing

Pepperstone MT5 EA Built for Razor Raw Spread ICT Entries

The Pepperstone MT5 EA is one Expert Advisor file that loads straight onto a Pepperstone MetaTrader 5 chart with no bridge and trades ICT entries for you. It enters at an order block or fair value gap after a liquidity sweep, so its edge depends on the fill landing close to the price it planned, not a few pips away. Pepperstone's Razor account strips spreads to raw interbank pricing from 0.0 pips plus a commission per lot, and routes orders through low-latency infrastructure, so the planned entry and the filled price stay close instead of drifting on a marked-up spread. Every order carries a hard stop, and trading carries risk of loss.

One EURUSD 5m long after a liquidity sweep, with the narrow price band at the order block inside which a fill still matches the EA's plan, and the stop set below it.
Three signal cards arrive over one candle field during the killzones: a EURUSD long after a liquidity sweep, a GBPUSD short at a level after a change of character, and a USDJPY long on a breakout retest, each an alert that reaches a trader away from the screen.

Killzone timing

Pepperstone Killzone Trading: BOS and CHoCH in London and New York

The EA does not trade around the clock. It waits out the quiet Asian hours, then works the London killzone after the London open and the New York killzone after the New York open, the windows where it hunts liquidity sweeps followed by a break of structure or a change of character. Pepperstone's liquidity depth at those exact hours keeps fills consistent rather than thin. You do not need to be at the screen: the EA runs inside your MT5 terminal, and each setup also reaches you by push notification, email and chart alert, even while you sleep. Leave that terminal running so the EA can act.

Regulation by entity

Is Pepperstone Regulated? FCA, ASIC, CySEC, DFSA, BaFin and CMA

Pepperstone is licensed through separate entities, so the one that opens your account decides the rules your EA trades under. Pepperstone Limited is FCA-regulated in the UK, Pepperstone EU is CySEC-regulated in Cyprus, Pepperstone Group Limited is ASIC-regulated in Australia and Pepperstone Markets Limited is DFSA-regulated in Dubai, with BaFin and CMA oversight also listed, while an offshore Bahamas entity (SCB) serves some regions. That scrutiny matters when a bot trades your funds unattended. Leverage runs up to 1:500 but lower under FCA and ASIC retail rules, and your per-trade risk cap still sets each order's size. Confirm your entity first; trading carries risk of loss.

Three tiles: FCA, ASIC and CySEC with their countries, DFSA, BaFin and CMA as the further regulators the page lists, and the offshore SCB entity in the Bahamas that serves some regions.
Four instrument cards on one board, a EURUSD long, a USDJPY short, a US500 long and a USOIL short, each with its own chart and plan, showing forex, index and commodity CFDs worked from one Pepperstone MT5 login.

Instrument coverage

What the EA Can Trade Across Pepperstone's 1,200+ Instruments

A Pepperstone account reaches more than 1,200 instruments across forex, indices, commodities and shares, and the EA works on the MT5 leg of that range. You attach it to a chart and it reads ICT structure on that symbol, so the major currency pairs it was built around sit beside index and commodity CFDs on the same login. It does not fire on every symbol at once; it acts only when a sweep and a return validate inside a killzone. Shares are on the list too, so check each symbol's trading hours and costs before you add it, and remember that trading CFDs carries risk of loss.

Four steps to live

Open a Pepperstone Razor Account on MT5 and Let the EA Go Live

Going live takes four steps and about two minutes once your account is open. Open a Pepperstone Razor account on MT5, because the EA's entries are precise and pricing quality matters more than the commission. Message SignalBots support with your Pepperstone account number to get the license activated over chat, with no card required. Drop the single EA file onto any forex chart in your MT5 terminal, set your per-trade risk cap, then enable AutoTrading. Pepperstone has no fixed minimum deposit, though $200 or more is recommended for margin. From there the EA works the London and New York killzones on its own, and trading carries risk of loss.

The EA's first trade after it is attached to a Pepperstone MT5 chart: one GBPUSD 1h long read end to end with sweep, order block, entry, stop and two targets, beside four market cards for the charts it can work.
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 Pepperstone is a strong home for the ICT EA

Raw pricing and fast order routing matter most for a strategy that enters on tight, structure-defined levels; Pepperstone's execution stack is built for exactly that.

Razor raw spreads meet low-latency execution

The EA's edge depends on entering right at an order block or fair value gap, not a few pips away from it. Pepperstone's Razor account strips spreads to raw interbank pricing and routes orders through low-latency infrastructure, so the EA's planned entry and the filled price stay close together instead of drifting on a marked-up spread.

Deep liquidity for killzone entries

London and New York killzones are when the EA hunts liquidity sweeps and BOS/CHoCH confirmations. Pepperstone's liquidity depth at those exact hours keeps fills consistent instead of thin.

Native MT5 support

Pepperstone runs MT5 as a first-class platform, so the EA drops straight onto a Pepperstone MT5 chart with no bridge, no wrapper, no extra plugin.

Multi-jurisdiction regulation

FCA, ASIC, CySEC, DFSA, BaFin and CMA oversight means the account the EA trades on sits under real regulatory scrutiny, which matters when a bot is holding your funds and taking trades unattended.

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 Pepperstone traders

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

  • Lukas B. Pepperstone trader · via Trustpilot
    On the Razor account the planned entry and the actual fill sit right on top of each other. For a bot entering at an exact order block, that tiny gap is everything.
  • Meera T. Pepperstone client · via Telegram
    Through the London killzone the fills stay consistent even when price is flying: Pepperstone's liquidity at those hours doesn't thin out on me.
  • Santiago M. Pepperstone trader · via Discord
    Six regulators behind the account made me comfortable letting a bot trade it unattended. Pepperstone isn't an offshore-only name I'd lie awake over.
Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How does the EA connect to Pepperstone?

It's a standard MT5 Expert Advisor. You attach it directly to a chart inside your Pepperstone MT5 terminal. No bridge, no third-party connector, no API key.

Which Pepperstone account should I use?

Razor is the best fit. Its raw spreads plus commission keep entry costs close to interbank pricing, which matters because the EA enters right at order blocks and fair value gaps.

Do I need MT4 or MT5 on Pepperstone?

MT5. Pepperstone offers MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView, but the EA is built for MT5 specifically.

Does Pepperstone allow Expert Advisors and automated trading?

Yes. Pepperstone permits EAs and algorithmic trading on both Standard and Razor MT5 accounts with no restriction on automation.

Do I need a VPS to keep the EA running?

A VPS is recommended so the EA can watch the London and New York killzones continuously even when your own computer is off, but it isn't required to get started.

Can I set my own risk level?

Yes. You set a per-trade risk percentage and the EA applies a hard stop, a defined target and an account-level risk cap on every order it places.

Is the license really free?

Yes, for life. SignalBots is an Introducing Broker for Pepperstone, so the broker pays SignalBots a commission on trading activity, and that funds the free license instead of a subscription fee.

What does the EA actually do. Is it just signals?

It's a full auto-trader, not a signal indicator. It reads market structure, maps order blocks and fair value gaps, and places the trade in your Pepperstone MT5 account directly.

What's the minimum deposit to start?

Pepperstone has no fixed minimum, but a working balance of $200 or more is recommended so the EA's position sizing and risk cap have enough margin room.

What leverage does Pepperstone offer for forex?

Up to 1:500 depending on your entity and jurisdiction, with lower limits (around 1:30) for retail clients under FCA and ASIC rules.

How do I activate the license?

Contact SignalBots support with your Pepperstone MT5 account number and the team activates your license in the chat. See contact for the fastest route.

Is my capital at risk?

Yes. Trading forex through the EA carries real risk of loss, nothing is guaranteed, and results vary by market conditions and account settings. Read the full risk warning before you go live.

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.

Pepperstone: licences & EA policy

What Pepperstone itself discloses about its regulatory status and its stance on Expert Advisors, so you can check it before you connect an automated ICT strategy to a live account.

  • Pepperstone entities are licensed across several jurisdictions: Pepperstone Limited is FCA-regulated (UK), Pepperstone Markets Limited is DFSA-regulated (Dubai), Pepperstone EU is CySEC-regulated (Cyprus), and Pepperstone Group Limited is ASIC-regulated (Australia); an offshore Bahamas entity (SCB) also serves some regions, which entity you're onboarded with depends on your country of residence.
  • Pepperstone explicitly supports Expert Advisors on MT4 and MT5 (and cTrader bots/API): traders may run their own EA or import a third-party one, on demo or live accounts, with no broker-side restriction on algorithmic strategies.
  • Negative-balance protection is not uniform across entities: FCA/CySEC/ASIC(retail)/DFSA-covered clients get it, but ASIC wholesale and offshore SCB clients only get standard margin close-out, so an EA that gaps through stops can still leave those accounts owing money.
  • Retail leverage is capped by regulator (for example 1:30 on major FX pairs under FCA/CySEC/ASIC retail rules), well below the leverage sometimes marketed to offshore SCB clients: an EA's position sizing must respect the cap of the specific entity you hold your account with.

Official sources

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.
