Euro Scalper MT5

The Expert Advisor trades in the direction of the current trend, the algorithm is based on calculating the width of the trading range for a given interval and assessing price movements on short time intervals. If the impulse value exceeds a specified percentage of the trading range, a position is opened in the direction of the trend. The impulses are also additionally filtered using a special technique.

The algorithm uses explicit control of bars - trading is performed on the formed bars only. This protects test and trading results from tick history errors, does not overload the terminal and increases the speed of testing and optimization as they can be run in Open prices only mode.

This EA has maintained its profitability since 2012, since its first publication for MT4, without significant algorithm adjustments and parameter optimization.

It trades relatively rarely, on average 3-5 trades per month, since strong price movements do not occur often. Historical drawdown does not exceed 25% when trading 0.1 lot per $ 1000 of the deposit. This allows you to use it both independently and as part of a portfolio of similar conservative Expert Advisors, which are based on different principles and mutually smooth out the drawdown.

It is recommended to use it in conjunction with the Pulse Scalper EA, which trades according to the opposite strategy - against the impulse.

Timeframe - M5, pair - EURUSD.
