Chapter 01

Why Automate MCX Commodity Trading

The Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) is India's largest commodity derivatives exchange — trading Gold, Silver, Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Copper, Zinc, Aluminium and more. MCX operates from 9:00 AM to 11:30 PM IST — 14.5 hours of trading every day. No human trader can monitor and trade 14.5 hours consistently. But an automated bot can.

🥇

Gold (GOLDM/GOLD)

Tracks international XAUUSD. Evening session (6 PM–11:30 PM) mirrors US market moves. Excellent for automated trend following.

🪙

Silver (SILVERMIC)

Higher volatility than gold. Industrial demand + investment demand creates strong intraday patterns. Perfect for scalping bots.

🛢️

Crude Oil (CRUDEOIL)

Highly reactive to US EIA inventory data (every Wednesday 8 PM IST). News-triggered momentum strategies work extremely well.

⚡

Natural Gas (NATURALGAS)

Extreme volatility. Weather-driven demand spikes. Mean-reversion bots perform well on Natural Gas intraday charts.

MCX Crude Oil — News Event Bot

Every Wednesday at 8:00 PM IST, the US EIA releases crude oil inventory data. This single event moves MCX Crude Oil ₹50–₹200 per barrel in minutes. Our Crude Oil news bot:

Monitors official EIA API for inventory release
Detects whether actual vs expected inventory is bullish or bearish
Places directional trade within 200 milliseconds of data release
Exits at pre-defined target or within 15 minutes — whichever comes first

MCX Silver Scalping Bot

Silver (SILVERMIC) has excellent intraday momentum properties. Our Silver scalping bot trades Bollinger Band breakouts on the 5-minute chart during peak liquidity hours (10 AM–12 PM and 6 PM–9 PM IST).
