Setup guide

From zero to scanning in five steps — open a broker account, add the screener in your browser, take your first trade, wire up alerts, and pay when you're ready.

1

Create an FX account with IC Markets

You'll trade through a cTrader account at IC Markets — the screener connects to it.

  1. Open the IC Markets sign-up page with the button below.
  2. Choose a cTrader account (this is what the screener plugs into) and pick your base currency.
  3. Complete registration and verify your identity (a photo ID upload).
  4. Fund your account — or create a free demo cTrader account first to try the screener risk-free.
  5. Keep your cTrader login handy for the next step.

ATHEQ works with cTrader accounts at IC Markets. We may earn a commission if you sign up through these links, at no extra cost to you.

Add the ATHEQ screener to cTrader (in your browser)

The screener runs as a web plugin inside cTrader Web — no download required.

  1. Go to ctrader.com and open cTrader Web, then sign in with your IC Markets credentials.
  2. Open the Apps / Plugins area (or Settings → Plugins) and choose to add a custom web app.
  3. Paste the ATHEQ screener URL:
    https://fxscreener.netlify.app/screener/
  4. Save and open it — the screener loads inside cTrader and detects your connected account.
  5. Sign in to ATHEQ with your email (we send a one-time code) to start your 14-day free trial.

Enter a trade using the screener

The board does the watching for you — you decide when to act.

  1. Read the board: each pair shows a single strength score and a BUY / SELL / NEUTRAL tag, ranked and colour-coded so the best opportunities rise to the top.
  2. When a pair reaches a strong reading in the direction you want, click it to open its chart in cTrader.
  3. Place your order in cTrader in that direction, sizing the position to your own risk.
  4. Prefer it hands-free? Turn on AUTO-TRADE in the control panel to have positions opened and protected for you.

Auto-trade is off by default and places real orders on your live account — test it on a demo account first.

Create a Telegram bot for alerts

Get pinged the moment a high-conviction setup appears (Telegram alerts are a Premium feature).

  1. In Telegram, open @BotFather and send /newbot. Choose a name and a username for your bot.
  2. BotFather replies with a bot token — copy it.
  3. Find your chat ID: message @userinfobot and copy the numeric ID it returns.
  4. In the ATHEQ control panel, paste the token into TG token and the ID into TG chat ID.
  5. Start a chat with your new bot so it's allowed to message you. Alerts now arrive automatically.

Make a payment

Upgrade any time — access is prepaid in crypto, with no auto-renewal.

  1. Open the Pricing page and choose a plan (Starter, Pro or Premium).
  2. Pick a term — 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. Longer terms come with a discount.
  3. Click Pay with crypto to open a secure checkout.
  4. Pay with BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC or 300+ coins. Your plan activates as soon as the payment confirms on-chain (this can take a few minutes).
  5. Renew before your access expires to keep it — renewing early simply adds time to your balance. Track it on the Account page.
