3. ICT Edge: ICT/SMC trading alert bots for gold, US indices and crypto Building ICT Edge in public: trading alert bots, demo first

Indie Hackers founder unveils ICT Edge, a trading bot service based on ICT and Smart Money Concepts. The platform alerts users on gold, Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, and cryptocurrency markets via Telegram or Discord with entry, stop, and target points. Users can optionally enable automatic execution on MetaTrader 5. The founder's motivation stems from years of learning these concepts the hard way and falling victim to unverified signal sellers.

Every bot is available for testing on a demo account first, with transparent public results that include both winning and losing trades, not just cherry-picked screenshots. The founder emphasizes publishing all findings on a blog, including unsuccessful strategies. Pricing options include self-hosted bots at EUR 59 per strategy, a hosted gold alerts pack with four bots at EUR 29 per month (with a 15-day free trial), and separate EUR 9 per month subscriptions for Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 alerts.

The founder's biggest challenge lies in gaining trust in a market saturated with hype, as he refrains from making financial advice and stresses that trading inherently involves a risk of loss.
