I don't know how to code. Can I still set this up?+
Yes, completely. The setup guide gives you exact terminal commands to copy and paste. There is no coding required at any step. If you can follow a recipe, you can deploy this system. The youngest person to set it up was a 19-year-old student with no technical background.
How much money do I need to get started?+
The minimum viable budget is: VPS โฆ10,000/month + Anthropic API โฆ5,000โโฆ25,000/month + first FTMO challenge fee (~โฆ90,000โโฆ250,000 depending on account size). You do not need $10,000 in your own trading account. You are using FTMO's capital after passing the challenge.
Is FTMO available in Nigeria?+
Yes. FTMO operates globally including Nigeria. Nigerian traders can purchase challenges with USD cards, pay crypto, or use Wise to transfer USD. Payouts are received via bank transfer, crypto (USDT), or Wise. All well-tested methods for Nigerian traders.
What if I fail the FTMO challenge?+
The system includes a detailed troubleshooting protocol for exactly this situation. FTMO also offers a free retry in some cases. The PDF walks you through the review process: ask Claude to analyse what went wrong, then a 2-week paper trading reset before re-attempting. Most challenge failures are emotional, not technical, which the psychology agent addresses directly.
Does the AI actually execute trades automatically?+
Yes, once the MCP bridge is connected, Claude can place orders, set stop-losses, and manage positions directly through MT5 via natural language. You receive a notification of every trade. You can review and confirm, or set it to fully autonomous mode. The choice is yours.
What if gold's price changes significantly from the PDF examples?+
The system is based on price structure and order flow, not price levels. Whether gold is at $2,000 or $5,000 per ounce, the Kill Zones, Order Blocks, FVGs, and CHoCH patterns work the same way. The strategy is methodology-based, not level-based. It doesn't expire.
Can I use this with any broker, or only Exness?+
Any MT5 broker works. The PDF specifically covers Exness (widely used in Nigeria), Pepperstone, and IC Markets, but the MCP bridge connects to MT5, not to a specific broker. For FTMO challenges, FTMO provides their own MT5 server. All covered in the setup guide.
