One decision a day

One decision a day keeps you inside the limits.

The whole plan is drawn and risk-sized before you act: entry, structure-based stop and three targets, already on your chart. Taking one clean setup a day is how you respect the daily-loss limit and the consistency rule instead of over-trading a challenge away.

  • Entry on the exact candle that triggered it, no chasing
  • Structure-based stop set so one trade can't breach the daily loss
  • TP1 / TP2 / TP3 sized so the reward walks you toward the profit target
  • Fires by push, email and a chart alert, no need to sit and watch
  • Works on MT4 & MT5 at any prop firm

A scored book to trade selectively, not all at once

The book keeps every signal the engine has produced across your firm's allowed instruments, re-scored on each closed bar. Nothing is quietly deleted, so you wait for the setups worth a slot in your day rather than taking them all and tripping the consistency rule.

  • A 1–5 score to be picky with

    Model, timeframe and entry zone on every row, each rated so you take only the Q4+ setups: the selectivity that keeps an evaluation consistent.

  • Ran · Missed · Invalid, recorded

    Every outcome is written down and kept: the honest track record you'd want before you put a challenge fee behind an engine.

  • The day's count resets with the session

    A clean tally of what fired today, so you pace entries against the daily-loss limit and don't burn the whole budget by lunch.

Levels to size your stop within the daily limit

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. This is structure you can anchor a stop to and know, before you click, that the risk stays inside your daily-loss budget.

  • R3 → S3, each with its own band

    The full pivot ladder plus the central pivot, so you see which level price is really trading into before you commit a single trade's risk.

  • Live distance in pips

    How far price sits from every level right now, updating on the tick, so you place a stop at real structure and keep it under your max daily loss.

  • 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.

Spend your one trade on the cleanest allowed pair

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, and put your single funded-account trade on the clearest side the market is offering.

  • 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), the kind of setup worth one of your limited daily trades.

  • Prop-firm agnostic

    Reads the same at every prop firm and every symbol suffix, so the ranking is comparable wherever you're funded.

Session tab

Trade the live sessions without over-exposing your budget

Asia, Europe and New York on the prop firm'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 part of your daily-loss budget to it.

SMC tab

Show only the confluence that earns an entry

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 read that justifies putting a funded account behind a trade, and skip the setups that don't clear the bar.

  • 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 the confluence you chose, no wall of boxes clouding a decision that puts your challenge fee at stake.

  • 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.

Tune the frequency down to a rule-safe cadence

Each engine exposes its settings in plain language, not cryptic inputs. Loosen for more signals, tighten for fewer: every row tells you which way it trades frequency against selectivity, so you can settle the engine on the low, one-a-day cadence that keeps a challenge inside its daily-loss limit and consistency rule.

  • Strictness in one row

    Slide from Vloose to Vtight to move the whole engine between more setups and fewer, cleaner, evaluation-safe 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.

News windows

FTMO Restricted News Windows and When the EA Stands Down

A valid ICT setup that lands right into a high-impact release can still count as a breach at many firms, even if the trade would have won. On FTMO you flag the restricted news windows when you load the EA, and it simply does not fire inside them, so an otherwise clean setup is held back rather than taken into the release. Outside those windows the scanner keeps working through your watchlist, and the sessions tab shows Asia, Europe and New York on the firm's own clock, with GMT offset and daylight saving handled, so you can see which hours are normally busy. Check FTMO's own pages for the windows that apply.

Phase targets

FTMO Phase 1 and Phase 2 Profit Targets Without Oversizing

FTMO asks for a 10% profit target in Phase 1 and 5% in Phase 2, and on a slow week the temptation is to raise size to get there faster. The EA does not chase either number. Its position sizing is even and repeatable, so each trade risks what you set rather than what the target seems to demand, and no single day runs away with the account. Each ICT setup carries its stop and three take-profit levels, and the target comes from a run of trades taken at that steady size. Trading carries risk of loss, and no tool can promise a challenge pass.

Three tiles: Turbo Breakout (A) reacting at levels built earlier, MasterAI (B) blending confluence into one scored read, and Rayan (C) taking fewer, confirmation-heavy setups.

Three engines

Three Signal Engines to Keep an FTMO Challenge Selective

Every signal the EA takes comes from one of three models, and you choose which of them run on your FTMO account. Turbo Breakout (A) takes fast, structure-led reactions at levels the market built earlier and came back to. MasterAI (B) blends the confluence signals into a single scored read. Rayan (C) is the confirmation-heavy engine for traders who want fewer, higher-conviction setups. Run all three for coverage, or single out the one whose selectivity stops you over-trading, then set strictness anywhere from vloose to vtight and switch the quality filter on. Each engine keeps its own count of what is live in the book.

Verify first

What an FTMO Trading Bot Review Should Verify First

Before you trust any FTMO trading bot review, check what the tool actually does with FTMO's rules. FTMO permits EAs within limits it publishes itself, and it is a prop firm, not a broker: accounts are demo accounts with fictitious funds, and payouts of up to 90% come from FTMO as a service. So verify that every order carries an entry, a structure-based stop and defined targets, that sizing is set against the 5% daily and 10% overall lines, and that your restricted news windows are entered. This EA suits traders who have lost challenges to one bad afternoon, and trading carries risk of loss.

The problem

Why traders fail prop firm challenges

The evaluation isn't really testing your entries. It's testing whether you can stay inside the rails for weeks, and that's where humans crack.

  • One overshoot ends the account.

    Push past the daily drawdown by a single trade and it's gone, weeks of good reads wiped by one bad afternoon.

  • News rules are easy to forget.

    A valid ICT setup right into a high-impact release can be a breach on many firms, even if the trade would have won.

  • Consistency rules quietly disqualify you.

    One outsized winning day can fail a challenge you were otherwise passing, a rule most traders only learn about after it costs them.

Market scanner

Scan the market inside your prop rules

The EA scans every pair for you, and on a challenge, each setup is checked against your drawdown line before it is allowed to fire.

  • One panel, every pair

    The whole market scans in a single view. You don't have to choose which chart to babysit.

  • Sized to the rules first

    Before any pair can fire, the trade is sized so a full stop stays inside your daily drawdown line.

  • News windows honoured

    Setups landing inside a restricted release simply don't fire: the breach never happens.

The fit

Why FTMO is a strong fit for the ICT EA

A challenge is passed by staying inside the rules for weeks, not by one good entry. Here is how the EA holds FTMO's exact lines for you.

Drawdown, tuned to FTMO's 5% daily / 10% overall

FTMO's limits become the EA's hard inputs. It sizes every ICT trade so a full stop stays inside the 5% daily line and throttles itself well before the 10% overall breach. That guardrail is exactly where most traders fail an evaluation they had the skill to pass.

News-window aware

Flag FTMO's restricted news windows and the EA simply doesn't fire inside them, no accidental breach on an otherwise valid setup.

Consistency-safe sizing

Even, repeatable position sizing keeps any single day from running away, so you clear the evaluation on a real edge, not on one lucky session.

Same discipline when funded

Pass, and the identical guards carry straight into your funded FTMO account, where protecting an 80–90% payout matters most.

The reason most challenges fail

The EA stops before the line, not after

Blowing the drawdown is the No.1 way traders fail an evaluation they had the skill to pass. The EA sizes and throttles against FTMO's limits, so it backs off well before the breach.

Challenge, day by day

How the EA runs a prop challenge

A challenge is won by staying inside the rules for weeks, not by one good entry. Here is how that plays out.

  1. Day 1 · 08:00
    Inside the rails

    It knows your limits before it trades.

    Your firm's daily and overall drawdown, news windows and consistency targets are loaded: every trade is weighed against them first.

  2. Day 1 · 08:20
    London setup

    A valid ICT entry, correctly sized.

    The setup fires, sized so even a full stop stays comfortably inside the daily drawdown line.

  3. Day 2 · 14:00
    News window

    It stands down for the release.

    A valid setup lands right into a high-impact release: the EA simply doesn't fire, so a breach never happens.

  4. Day 4
    Consistency held

    No single day runs away.

    Even, repeatable sizing keeps any one day from tripping the consistency rule that quietly fails so many traders.

  5. Payout
    Funded, protected

    Same discipline, real money.

    The evaluation passes and the identical guards carry into the funded account, where protecting the payout matters most.

Who it's for

Who this prop firm EA is for

It's built for the trader a challenge actually trips up, and honest about who it isn't for.

This is for you if

  • You've blown challenges on one bad afternoon, not on bad strategy.
  • You keep forgetting a firm's news or consistency rule in the heat of a trade.
  • You want the drawdown line defended by software, not willpower.
  • You want the same discipline to carry from evaluation into funded.

This isn't for you if

  • You want a guaranteed pass, no tool can promise one, and anyone who does is lying.
  • You prefer to place every challenge trade by hand.
  • You're still learning the basics and aren't ready to automate an evaluation.

Reviews

Reviews from traders

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

  • Stefan R. FTMO challenge trader · via Trustpilot
    FTMO's Phase 1 asks for 10% and Phase 2 for 5%, and the EA didn't oversize to rush either. It took the ICT setups the simulated challenge gave it and let the target come.
  • Amir H. FTMO challenge trader · via Discord
    It sat out FTMO's restricted news windows on its own and never touched the hyperactive-bot behaviour they forbid. It holds structure trades over multiple candles, so it stayed clean by design.
  • Rosa B. FTMO funded trader · via Telegram
    On the funded account FTMO pays up to a 90% split, and because the EA spreads risk across setups instead of one huge day, the consistency review never flagged me.
Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Does FTMO allow EAs?

Yes, FTMO permits Expert Advisors on MetaTrader 5. Always confirm the current terms on FTMO's own site, since firm rules can change.

How does the EA connect to FTMO?

It runs natively inside FTMO's MetaTrader 5, no bridge and nothing extra to install. Load the one file on your challenge account and it trades there directly.

Which FTMO platform do I need?

MetaTrader 5. The EA is an MT5 Expert Advisor, so pick an MT5 FTMO account.

What are FTMO's drawdown limits?

5% max daily loss and 10% max overall. You enter both into the EA and it sizes and stops against them, throttling before the line.

How does it handle the 5% daily loss?

You enter FTMO's daily and overall limits and the EA sizes and stops against them, throttling before the 5% line rather than after: the single most common fail-reason.

Does it respect FTMO's news rules?

Yes, flag the restricted news windows and the EA simply won't fire inside them, so a valid setup never turns into a breach.

Does FTMO have a consistency rule?

FTMO's is standard with no fixed cap, but the EA still uses even, repeatable sizing so one big day can't put a passing challenge at risk.

What's FTMO's profit target?

10% in phase 1 and 5% in phase 2. The EA trades an ICT edge toward it while holding the drawdown line the whole way.

Does it work in the funded stage too?

Yes. The same rule-aware discipline carries into your funded FTMO account, where protecting the payout matters most.

Can it guarantee I pass FTMO?

No, and don't trust anyone who promises that. Trading carries risk and no result is guaranteed. The EA enforces the discipline (the 5% daily line, news windows) that most traders breach, on a real ICT edge. Read our risk warning.

Is my capital at risk?

Yes. Trading carries substantial risk and no result is guaranteed. The EA holds the line on drawdown, news and consistency, but a challenge can still fail. Read our risk warning.

What does it cost?

The EA license is free for life. FTMO's own challenge fee is separate and paid to FTMO (refundable on your first payout).

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.

FTMO's own rules

FTMO permits EAs, within limits it publishes itself. Read them on FTMO's own pages before you run the ICT AI Signal EA on a challenge.

  • FTMO is a prop firm, not a broker: all accounts are demo accounts with fictitious funds and trading is in a simulated environment; payouts (up to 90%) come from FTMO as a service, not from real market execution.
  • Expert Advisors and algorithmic trading are explicitly allowed with no pre-approval, provided the strategy is legitimate, manages risk and trades according to real market conditions.
  • Forbidden practices that can void an account include 'hyperactive' bots (soft caps near 200 simultaneous orders / 2,000 positions a day), exploiting price-feed errors, gap trading around news or the close, and hedging across accounts to game the Best-Day rule.
  • FTMO restricts a long list of countries and routes US and Australian clients through a separate pathway: confirm your eligibility on FTMO's own site before buying a challenge.

Official sources

Prop-firm market risks

What to weigh before you run any EA on a funded-challenge account.

  • Challenge providers are largely unregulated: they are not licensed brokers, don't register with the CFTC or NFA, and you trade simulated capital under a fee-for-service contract, not a protected brokerage account.
  • Because they aren't brokers, funds aren't segregated client money and there is no FSCS / SIPC-style deposit protection if a firm delays payouts or ceases operating.
  • The CFTC's 2023 case against “My Forex Funds” (later dismissed on procedural grounds in 2025) alleged the firm secretly traded against its own funded clients, an illustration of the counterparty conflict built into the challenge-fee model.
  • Platform access is a live risk: from February 2024 MetaQuotes revoked MT4 / MT5 licences from brokers grey-labelling to prop firms over US-regulatory exposure, stranding some firms' accounts through no fault of the trader.

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.
