1. Choose your account type
You can use either a demo account or a real account.

2. Go to the Robot settings
Open the Robot page inside the app. This is where you will set up your strategies for trading.
3. Set Initial Amount and Duration
- Select the Initial Amount — this is the value of your first trade. Keep in mind that higher amounts require a larger account balance due to safety orders.
- Choose the trade Duration: 1, 5, or 15 minutes.
Refer to the table below to find the optimal amount based on your trading deposit:
Strategy ➡️
Deposit amount ⬇️ | Fixed amount | Conservative | Optimal | Aggressive |
less than $200 | $5 | $1 | not recommended | not recommended |
$200 - $500 | $10 | $2 | $1 | not recommended |
$500 - $1000 | $20 | $3 | $2 | $1 |
$1000 - $2000 | $40 | $4 | $3 | $2 |
more than $2000 | $60 | $5 | $4 | $3 |
If you're new, start with small amounts. You can increase them later as you gain confidence and better trading skills.
4. Choose an asset
Select an asset you want to trade. You have two options:
- Choose an asset manually (check the displayed profitability).
- Enable Autoselection to let the system choose the asset for you.
You can use Autoselection to automatically choose the asset with optimal performance.
5. Pick an indicator
You can use the AI Indicator that evaluates over 100 market parameters to suggest a trade direction. This is a valuable tool for trading analysis.
The AI Indicator is unlocked after account activation. Find more information here
If you prefer, you can also choose a single indicator like MACD, Stochastic, Bollinger Bands, RSI, CCI, or Close Price—no activation required.
Before deciding, try out different indicators on a demo account to see how they align with your strategy.
Trying different indicators in your demo trading can help you find what works best for your trading goals.
6. Select Your Strategy
IQ Matix offers 4 ready-made, backtested strategies for trading designed for different risk levels:
- Fixed Amount (Low Risk): Trades with a consistent amount each time, based on your initial investment.
- Conservative (Low Risk): Applies the Reverse Labouchère strategy, using a numerical series to manage trade size safely.
- Optimal (Medium Risk): Uses the Martingale method to increase trade size after losses, aiming to recover and gain gradually.
- Aggressive (High Risk): Builds on the Martingale approach with stronger trade scaling for faster recovery — available only after account activation.
The Aggressive strategy is available only for activated users. Activate your account to unlock this option
7. Set a Profit Limit
You can set a Profit Limit to manage your profit from trading. The robot will stop when this level is reached.
- It helps save profits.
- The default limit is $20 if your account is not activated.
Account activation is required to customize your Profit Limit settings.
8. Start the Robot
Click Start robot to enable the robot and start trading!
It’s a good idea to explore and test your setup in demo trading mode before trading with real money.
