EA Scalper V1.0 MT5

Introduction

EA Scalper V1.0 MT5 is an automated scalping Expert Advisor designed for fast, short-duration trades on MetaTrader 5. It aims to capture small price movements during active market sessions using quick entry/exit logic and tight risk controls, making it suitable for traders who prefer frequent opportunities instead of long holding periods.

Key Features

• Scalping-focused execution with quick trade entries and exits
• Session-friendly trading (best performance typically during high liquidity hours)
• Built-in risk controls like lot sizing options and max trade limits
• Spread & slippage filtering to avoid poor entries during unstable conditions
• Auto trade management (profit locking / smart exit logic depending on setup)
• Works best on low-latency + low-spread environments (broker + VPS)
• Recommended Settings (Safe Starter Setup)
• Timeframe: M1 or M5 (best for scalping), M15 if you want fewer trades
• Pairs: Major pairs with tight spreads (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY)
• Risk / Lot Mode:
• Beginner-safe: 0.01 lot per $200–$500 balance (fixed)

  • If using risk %: 0.5% to 1% per trade (conservative)

• Max open trades: 1–2 (keeps drawdown controlled)
• Spread limit: Keep it strict (only trade when spread is low)
• News filter: ON (if available), otherwise avoid high-impact news manually

Backtest Result (Typical Expectation)

Backtest performance usually depends heavily on spread, slippage, tick quality, and broker execution. In “ideal” backtests (tight spread + quality ticks), scalpers often show:

• High win-rate with small average profit per trade
• Occasional drawdown spikes during volatility or bad fills
• Stronger results in trending bursts + clean liquidity periods

Advantages

• Good for traders who want short-term trades and frequent setups
• Reduces emotional decision-making through automation
• Can perform well in stable spread + high liquidity conditions
• Easier to monitor vs long swing systems (faster trade cycles)

Disadvantages

• Scalpers are very sensitive to spread, slippage, and execution delay
• Results can vary widely between brokers
• During news/volatility, it can enter at poor prices if filters are weak
• Over-optimization risk (some scalpers look amazing in backtests but fail live)
