Bot vs firm verdict
ICT Smart Money Concept Bot vs prop firms, which actually pass?
Reference 'smart money concepts' bot, order blocks, fair-value gaps, liquidity sweeps on M15/H1 forex.
Verdict matrix
Firm-by-firm: passes, busts, or untested.
Drawdown itself fits the 5% trailing, but the 7-profitable-days-in-30 quota is the hard constraint, ICT bots typically produce 3-5 active days per month with concentrated wins.
No min-days requirement; static 10% DD absorbs failed order-blocks. 10% target reachable in active months given the 1:3+ R-multiple posture.
Pending relaunch.
Apex is futures (ES, NQ); ICT methodology adapts to indices but the published EAs are forex-only. Not a meaningful matchup for the bot family as released.
3-profitable-days quota at ≥0.5% achievable in active months, but the strategy frequently produces 2-3 week dry stretches that miss the eval-window cadence.
No min-days requirement; 6% trailing DD wide enough for the occasional failed order-block. Target reachable on the 1:3+ R-multiple math.
About ICT Smart Money Concept Bot
The strategy in plain English.
ICT-style 'smart money' bots automate the order-block / liquidity-sweep / fair-value-gap pattern set popularised by Michael Huddleston's training materials. There is no single canonical EA, the pattern logic varies wildly between implementations, but the family shares characteristics: low trade frequency, large R-multiples (often 1:3+), wide stops on M15/H1 timeframes. Published reference Myfxbook accounts show high variance: a few months of strong R-multiple wins separated by long dry stretches and occasional 5%+ adverse days when an order-block fails. Prop-firm fit depends almost entirely on whether the firm tolerates volatile daily P&L and dormant stretches.
