How the AI builds a SPY bot
Describe your own idea, or start from a ready-made template. The AI turns it into precise rules, tells you which kinds of market it tends to suit, and writes an MT4 or MT5 bot with a stop loss on every trade. You also get a plain-English explanation of when it buys, when it sells and what one losing trade costs. Attach it to a SPY chart and test it on a demo account first.
Before you run a SPY bot
Brokers list the ETF as SPY or an S&P 500 CFD under names like US500. Spreads and hours follow the equity session; check whether your symbol tracks the cash index, the ETF or a futures CFD before sizing a bot.
Patterns to try on SPY
- RSI 50-cross — Enter a buy when RSI(14) crosses above 50; the single most robust indicator rule in the stack.
- Range compression — A day's range contracts below the N-day average — arm a breakout, because expansion follows contraction.
- Smash day — A day closes beyond the prior extreme, then gets rejected next day — fade the failed breakout.
