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.

Comparison

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.

Execution speed Seconds: you chase a wide fill Under 10ms: filled at the level

Gold and Silver on MT5

Gold Trading Robot for MetaTrader 5 That Also Trades Silver

This gold trading robot for MetaTrader 5 is an Expert Advisor that trades ICT and Smart Money setups on Gold (XAU/USD) and, from the same scanning panel, on Silver (XAG/USD), on any MT5 broker. It frames each day with the prior day's pivot zones, drawn as bands from yesterday's open, high, low and close, then reads the faster chart for a liquidity sweep and the return into the fair value gap. When a setup validates on either metal, that is the trade, sent in under 10ms with its stop anchored to structure. You get both metals without keeping the whole forex board open.

Show XAUUSD on the daily chart with the prior day's pivot bands bracketing price, opening into a 5m pane where liquidity below a low is swept and price returns into the FVG for a long, with a gold bar standing beside the chart.
Compare Asian hours with the London and New York overlap for Gold and Silver: little on either metal against where the cleanest setups cluster, dead hours against a short window, and the EA watching and waiting against taking valid entries.

The overlap window

MT5 Gold Trading Through the London and New York Overlap

Gold and Silver move most in a short window: the cleanest ICT setups on both metals cluster around the London and New York overlap and major USD data such as a CPI or NFP print. Miss it and the move is already priced in, or you chase a wide fill seconds late. For MT5 gold trading, the EA covers every overlap on time and fills at the level in under 10ms, while the quiet Asian hours offer little on either metal and it simply waits. You still set the risk, and trading carries risk of loss around volatile USD releases.

Setup anatomy

Bot Trading Gold and Silver on MT5 from Sweep to Order Block

For bot trading gold on MT5, the EA waits for a sequence, not a single candle, and a sweep alone is not the trade. First a liquidity sweep takes the resting orders beyond a high or low, then displacement shows the move has intent. On XAU/USD the order can fire on the sweep and the fair value gap return, while on XAG/USD, whose wider range reacts hard to a USD print, it reads the displacement and takes the return into the order block, stop anchored to structure. Twelve chart layers such as market structure, inducement and premium/discount stay off until you switch them on.

Show one XAGUSD long read end to end on the 1h drawing: the sweep of a low, the displacement leg, the return into the order block, the entry, the stop under structure and the targets, beside four scanner cards for XAUUSD and XAGUSD on M5 and M1.
Show one XAUUSD long at true scale with entry, stop and TP1 to TP3, and a size note that the stop and all three targets are managed on the chart, with breakeven and close half as one-tap actions.

Trade management

XAUUSD Trading Robot Managing Stop, Breakeven and Three Targets

Once this XAUUSD trading robot fires an order, the live trade panel tracks the position from open to close, walking from Waiting to Active to TP1 to Closed, with entry, stop, TP1, TP2 and TP3, the whole risk plan, shown with live pip deltas and money. The EA trails the stop under its rules, and you keep a hand on it: move SL to breakeven, close half or close all with one tap each, or retarget the exit mid-trade and the chart follows. That control matters on a metal where one CPI or NFP candle can stretch the range, and trading carries risk of loss.

The problem

The problem with trading metals ICT by hand

Gold and Silver reward the same structure reads as forex, but wider ranges and USD-driven spikes punish a slow or emotional hand even harder.

  • The overlap window is short.

    The cleanest Gold and Silver killzone setups cluster around the London/New York overlap and major USD data: miss that window and the move is already priced in.

  • A CPI or NFP spike rewrites the plan.

    One data-driven candle in Gold can run further than a full forex-pair day, and a hand-placed stop rarely survives it cleanly.

  • Silver's range hides the sweep.

    XAG/USD's wider swings make a genuine liquidity sweep look like noise until the return into the fair value gap is already over.

Market scanner

Scan Gold & Silver for ICT setups

The EA watches both metals for you and trades whichever forms a valid ICT setup first, so you don't have to sit and read two charts through the overlap.

  • Both metals, one panel

    Gold and Silver sit in a single scanning view instead of two charts you flip between.

  • Acts the moment structure completes

    The instant a sweep-and-return validates on either metal, that's the trade. You don't have to be watching it.

  • Only the graded setups

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

One trading day

How the EA trades one Gold & Silver day

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

  1. 02:00
    Quiet hours

    You're asleep. The EA isn't.

    The dead Asian hours offer little on either metal, so it watches and waits instead of forcing a setup.

  2. 07:00
    London opens

    Liquidity builds under Gold's low.

    Price sweeps the sell-side liquidity resting below XAU/USD's low: the EA flags the setup forming inside the overlap.

  3. 07:14
    Setup validates

    Sweep + FVG return: the order fires.

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

  4. 08:30
    CPI release

    Silver reacts to the USD print.

    XAG/USD's wider range moves on the data: the EA reads the displacement and takes the return into the order block.

  5. 09:30
    Managed to target

    Stop trailed, target tagged.

    Both trades walk to target under the EA's rules while you get on with your day. You never touched them.

Who it's for

Who this Gold & Silver 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 the London/New York overlap on Gold or Silver because it lands while you sleep or work.
  • A CPI or NFP spike has widened your stop past where the trade plan said it should.
  • You want ICT executed on metals with a discipline you shouldn't have to summon mid-spike.
  • You already trade MT5 and want Gold & Silver specifically, not the whole forex book.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know ICT to use it?

No. The EA does the structure reads, liquidity mapping and timing for you. Knowing the concepts helps you trust what it's doing, but the automation doesn't require you to trade them by hand.

How does the EA connect to my broker?

It runs natively inside MetaTrader 5 on your broker's account, no bridge, no third-party connector, nothing extra to install. Load the one file and it trades Gold & Silver on your terminal.

Does it work on any broker that offers Gold and Silver CFDs?

Any broker offering MetaTrader 5 with XAU/USD and XAG/USD. It's one file for both metals. You don't need a special broker version.

Do I need a special broker?

No. XAU/USD and XAG/USD are broker-agnostic MT5 symbols, so a single build runs on any MT5 account that lists both metals.

Which MT5 account type works best?

Any MT5 account with tight metals spreads works. A raw or ECN-spread account gives the tightest fills, which is what a killzone entry on Gold or Silver wants.

Which sessions does it trade?

It leans into the London/New York overlap and major USD data releases, the windows where Gold and Silver setups have their edge, and sits out the dead, chop-prone hours in between.

Do I have to leave my PC on?

The EA runs inside MT5, so it trades whenever your terminal is running. Most traders run it on a VPS so the overlap window is covered without their own machine being on.

Will it run on a VPS?

Yes, and most traders use one. A VPS keeps MT5 and the EA live so a Gold or Silver setup is never missed while your PC is off.

Can I still trade manually alongside it?

Yes. You stay in full control: pause it, adjust its risk, or place your own trades in the same terminal whenever you want.

Can I set my own risk per trade?

Yes. You set the risk and stop rules; the EA enforces them on every trade and never trades outside the limits you define.

Is my capital at risk?

Yes. Trading Gold and Silver CFDs carries substantial risk and no result is guaranteed: the EA enforces a defined stop and risk cap on every trade, but you can still lose money. Read our risk warning before you start.

What does it cost?

The license is free for life. You activate it in a couple of steps with our 24/7 support team, no subscription and no card required.

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.

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.

Your broker's own rulebook

Rules and licences differ by broker, always confirm on your broker's own terms before you enable AutoTrading on Gold or Silver.

  • Reputable MT5 brokers offering metals CFDs are licensed by regulators such as the FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia), CySEC (Cyprus) or the FSCA (South Africa), which impose retail leverage caps and negative-balance protection.
  • Most brokers explicitly permit Expert Advisors on MetaTrader 5, but some restrict scalping or trading around high-impact news. Check your broker's own terms before you automate.
  • Many brokers run both a regulated entity (tighter leverage, stronger protection) and an offshore one (higher leverage, fewer safeguards), which entity you open with changes the protections you get.

Gold & Silver market risks

What to weigh before you run any EA on a leveraged metals 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: Gold and Silver can gap sharply on a surprise CPI, NFP or safe-haven flight, filling 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.
