ICC Charts checks 25 rule-based models (ICT, Wolf and VSA) on live markets and marks every setup it finds. This guide shows how to use that scanner day to day.
1. Open the Signals tab
In the web terminal, open Signals (on phones it is the gold button in the middle of the bottom bar). Each row is a setup: the market, the model, buy or sell, and how long ago it formed.
2. Read the setup
- Entry, stop and targets: drawn on the chart when you tap the row.
- Grade: A+ meets every point of the model's checklist, A misses one, B misses more and is for study.
- Checklist: what the model saw, so you can judge the setup yourself.
3. Check it on the chart
Switch on the matching layers (liquidity, FVG, structure, killzones) to see why the setup formed. Look at a higher time frame before acting. The scanner finds patterns; it does not know the news.
4. Choose your models
In the Signals settings, pick the models and markets you want. Fewer models with clear rules usually work better than everything at once.
5. Get alerts
Turn on signal alerts and connect your channels in the Alerts tab: phone notifications in the app, Telegram, WhatsApp, email or a webhook. You can also set your own price, trend line, zone, session or indicator alerts.
6. Test before you trust
Run a model in the strategy tester on the last 30, 60 or 90 days, then practise with paper trading. Only connect your own MetaTrader 5 for auto-trading when you understand how the model behaves.
The full user guide (14 languages) covers every screen, and the Help Center answers common questions.
No model has a proven edge. Signals are analysis, not financial advice. Trading involves risk.
