About IC Market Engines
IC Market Engines builds automated trading systems designed around market behaviour, timing and risk. Rather than relying on one setup, each Family combines multiple timeframe “gears” of the same core strategy so the system can adapt to different phases of the market.
The focus is simple: controlled exposure, low involvement and evidence-led development. Every system is tested, forward-run and reviewed before it earns a place in the live product line-up.
Latest Forward / Demo Evidence
Performance is presented by engine and timeframe, with each result clearly labelled as back test, demo/forward or live evidence. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
