Smart Scalper PRO

Check below video to see Smart Scalper PRO in action for 8 trading days.

MONEY MANAGEMENT

Smart Scalper PRO comes with Money Management System. You can set a risk in percents and the robot will automatically calculate the lots according the risk and your account free margin. The money management include the RecoveryMode. RecoveryMode is a loss recovery system. When the RecoveryMode is enabled the EA will increase the lot size of all new trades with the idea to compensate the previous losses. After a loss, the EA will increase the lot size with small amounts. This way after several positive trades the previous losses will be compensated. And when the losses are compensated the EA will start to trade with normal lot size. The RecoveryMode works only when the AutoMM > 0. The maximum risk which could be used during recovery process is controlling by AutoMM_Max. Don't set big value to AutoMM_Max because this could be risky. 

Advanced News Filter

Smart Scalper PRO is equipped with Advanced News Filter. Thanks to this filter you can avoid trading during most important news and events. The news filter can increase the profit factor of the system and reduce the drawdown. It is disabled by default and you can configure it precisely.

This is very important! This is the only way the News Filter to work properly. The information for the coming News and Events is on my website and you have to give a permission to the MT4 terminal to allow connections to my website.

Advanced Time Management System

With the Time Management System you can precisely configure the robot to trade or not to trade in specific week days and hours. This is a very powerful option which will let you avoid the most dangerous days and hours. 

Friday Exit System

We all know that sometimes it could be risky to trade on Friday because the trades may remain during the weekend and may be closed on big loss due to Monday gaps. Smart Scalper PRO has a Friday Exit system and you can configure the robot to close all trades on Friday Evening at a desired time and to stop trading after this time.

E-mail and Push Notification System

Smart Scalper PRO will inform you about all actions performed in your account. It easy to set-up your terminal to receive these notifications. Smart Scalper PRO can send email and push notifications to your mobile phone and inform you about its trades. By default these options are disabled. Please read below Smart Scalper PRO Settings to learn how to enable Email and Push notifications.

Instructions and recommendations

You can use Auto MM=2% (low risk) up to 10% (high risk), according to the significance of your account and your risk and profit expectations.

Reasonable fixed Lot size is 0.05 on 1k account balance, or 0.5 lots on 10k account balance.

If you use multiple currency pairs, you should consider decreasing the risk accordingly.

Supported currency pairs: GBPUSD, EURUSD, USDCHF, USDJPY and USDCAD, plus optional GBPUSD high frequency - high profit settings

You can run the EA on M1 or M15 chart – it makes no difference for the EA, as all used timeframes are hardcoded.

You can backtest and optimize the EA on M1 chart by “open price only” method – this will be correct enough and save you a lot of time.

Smart Scalper PRO Settings

==== Risk Management ====

• RecoveryMode:  true/false - enable disable the RecoveryMode. RecoveryMode is a loss recovery system. When the RecoveryMode is enabled the EA will increase the lot size of all new trades with the idea to compensate the previous losses. After a loss, the EA will increase the lot size with small amounts. This way after several positive trades the previous losses will be compensated. And when the losses are compensated the EA will start to trade with normal lot size. The RecoveryMode works only when the AutoMM > 0. The maximum risk which could be used during recovery process is controlling by AutoMM_Max. Don't set big value to AutoMM_Max because this could be risky.  
• FixedLots:  fixed trading volume (works if AutoMM1=0).   
• AutoMM: values greater than 0 (zero) activate automatic ММ (traded volume as a percentage of free margin).
• AutoMM_Max: The maximum permitted risk expressed as a percentage of the account per individual transaction, calculated on the basis of a 100 pip loss. When RecoveryMode is used, this parameter limits the upper value of the risk per trade.

• MaxSpread: maximal allowed spread for position opening.
• MaxSpreadExit: The parameter is used to control closing the trades and avoid closing the trades when the current market conditions are not good. Especially when the current spread is greater than MaxSpreadExit. For example if you set MaxSpreadExit=5 the EA will close the trades only when spread is equal or lower than 5 pips. This could be useful in the periods of high impact news and from 00:00 to 00:59 o'clock when the spreads could be higher than usual. This parameter has value 0 (zero) by default which means it is disabled. If you want to use it then you can set a value greater than 0 (zero).

==== Time Management Settings ====

These settings have been specially developed to help traders avoid certain hour periods during the trading week when the Forex market behaves more unpredictable.

• AllowedHour_ForBacktest: this parameter is only for backtesting! It helps optimizing the Time Management system. Here is how you can use it. During the optimization set start value 0, end value 23 and the step 1. You can optimize only one day per optimization. For example you want to optimize the forbidden hours for Monday, you have to disable other days bay settings TuesdayTrading=false ... to ... FridayTrading=false. At the end of the optimization the tester will show you the best hours for trading on Monday. You can add the bad hours in the parameter MondayForbiddenHours separated by comma, for example: 1,4,6. 
• MondayTrading: true/false - enable or disable trading on Monday
• MondayHoursForbidden: forbidden trading hours for Monday (applies only when MondayTrading is enabled). You can set several values between 0 and 23 separated with commas. For example, if you set MondayHoursForbidden=9,10,11 the EA will not trade from 9:00 till 11:59. The hour values for this parameter are related to your broker’s server time (the Market Watch)!
• TuesdayTrading: true/false - enable or disable trading on Tuesday
• TuesdayHoursForbidden: forbidden trading hours for Tuesday (applies only when TuesdayTrading is enabled). You can set several values between 0 and 23 separated with commas. For example, if you set TuesdayHoursForbidden=9,10,11 the EA will not trade from 9:00 till 11:59. The hour values for this parameter are related to your broker’s server time (the Market Watch)!
• WednesdayTrading: true/false - enable or disable trading on Wednesday
• WednesdayHoursForbidden: forbidden trading hours for Wednesday (applies only when WednesdayTrading is enabled). You can set several values between 0 and 23 separated with commas. For example, if you set WednesdayHoursForbidden=9,10,11 the EA will not trade from 9:00 till 11:59. The hour values for this parameter are related to your broker’s server time (the Market Watch)!
• ThursdayTrading: true/false - enable or disable trading on Thursday
• ThursdayHoursForbidden: forbidden trading hours for Thursday (applies only when ThursdayTrading is enabled). You can set several values between 0 and 23 separated with commas. For example, if you set ThursdayHoursForbidden=9,10,11 the EA will not trade from 9:00 till 11:59. The hour values for this parameter are related to your broker’s server time (the Market Watch)!

• SaturdayTrading and SundayTrading: true/false - enable or disable trading during Saturday and Sunday respectively. Due to big GMT offset, some brokers trade during weekends and for that reason we added these parameters as well.

==== Friday Exit ====

How to backtest Smart Scalper PRO

If you wish to back-test Smart Scalper PRO, first you should download history from the MetaTrader history center: click Tools -> History Center, or press the "F2" key of the keyboard. In the list, find the currency pair that you wish to back-test and double click to expand it. Click "1 Minute (M1)" and then click "Download". When the download process is finished, double click on "5 Minutes (M5)” and "15 Minutes (M15)" to convert the M1 data (repeat this for the rest of the time frames). Close the "History Center" window. Restart the MT4 terminal in any case. Check the below image!

To open the "Strategy Tester" window click the "Strategy Tester" button of the MetaTrader menu, or press "Ctrl+R" on the keyboard. In the "Strategy Tester" window chose Smart Scalper PRO, chose one of the supported currency pairs, chose M15 timeframe, chose the method "Every tick ...", as shown below. Click "Start" to start the back-test.

The back-test by "Every tick" is the most precise, but it is very slow. If you wish to save time you can run the back-test on M1 timeframe by "Open price only ..." method and this will be correct too.
