What it is
The AI Trading Bot places trades for you on your own MT5 account. It trades gold (XAU/USD), or Bitcoin in Beta. You choose the market and the risk level. Our team connects your account and starts the bot.
- Your money stays with your broker. We never hold your funds and cannot withdraw. The bot can only place trades.
- Most trades carry a stop-loss. In some setups, such as layered entries, the bot removes the stop and closes a losing trade on a reversal or a candle close past its level instead.
- Your risk level sets the lot size. See Risk levels and lot sizes.
Who can use it
The bot is for approved members. See Joining and payments.
- Free through a broker: the bot runs on your Exness, XM or Vantage MT5 account that was opened through our link (Growth Club's referral).
- Monthly plan (50 USDT a month): any broker. In the form, choose Other broker and type the broker name exactly as MT5 shows it.
- Balance: we recommend $500 or more. When you register, you confirm the account holds $500 or more.

What each status means
Your status, and any note from the team, is at the top of your AI Bot page.
| Status | What it means | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted | We received your details. | Wait. |
| In progress | We are connecting your account. | Wait. |
| Waitlisted | Our servers are full. You are in the queue. | Wait. We tell you when it starts. |

Stop, restart or change the bot
- Stop: while your bot is Started, press Email to Stop Bot on your AI Bot page. It opens a ready-made email to admin.growth.club@gmail.com. Just send it. Not using Gmail? Tap or use your default mail app.
- A stop through the team or the Email to Stop Bot button can take a few hours. To stop it instantly, change your MT5 trading password — the bot can't log in any more.
- Stopping does not close open trades. Manage them in MT5 yourself. Your signals are not affected.
- Start again: if your bot is Stopped or Revoked, press Start again. Your membership must be active.
- Delete bot setup: removes your setup and saved MT5 details. This cannot be undone.
- Change your risk level: ask on the Support page. See how.
- Changed your MT5 password? The bot can no longer log in. Tell us on the Support page.
