I've been growing, testing and correcting this automated scalping system for a very long time: https://www.mql5.com/en/alerts/writer/test-standart. Essentially the most secure outcomes have been achieved on forex pairs with Swiss Franc, which implies increased profitability and decrease drawdown as in comparison with different symbols.

Highlights to concentrate to

1. Throughout reside operation of the EA, the GMT offset parameter is decided routinely primarily based on native time of the pc (GMT_Offset_AUTO=true).

This parameter offers synchronization of the skilled settings with the MetaTrader 4 server time.

To make sure the correctness of settings it's essential:

• to match the GMT time in skilled info space on the chart of forex pair, to which the skilled is connected, with http://time.is/GMT (or different dependable supply).
• If the values don't match, then set GMT_Offset_AUTO=false and set a price of GMT_Offset_Manual based on the directions in https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/put up/682539

2. In an effort to activate the Information filter operate, allow "Permit WebRequest" and add https://sslecal2.forexprostools.com/ to the URL checklist for WebRequest.

To do that, open Instruments > Choices > Skilled Advisors. Verify the choice "Permit WebRequests for listed URL:". Add https://sslecal2.forexprostools.com/ and click on OK.

The EA comprises a information archive (01.01.2015 - 13.08.2017), which is used for testing.

3. By default, within the EA settings, the danger per commerce is ready to 3.6%.

After testing on actual accounts this parameter might be modified relying in your preferences. I like to recommend utilizing a hard and fast lot or a restoration cash administration.

4. The skilled works on any timeframe equally effectively, because it routinely takes the required knowledge from a number of timeframes.

Because the skilled makes use of a number of timeframes for the evaluation, it's essential for the quotes of all timeframes (M1, M15, M30, H1, H4) to be downloaded within the terminal for testing. On the similar time, the testing itself might be carried out on any timeframe.

5. For brokers with the rule "First In First Out", allow the parameter FIFO_MODE = true.

6. The EA logs info on unfold, slippage and different helpful info when performing trades, and in addition when it's potential to make trades.

To put in writing this info, set the parameter Record_Deals = true;

To view this info:

• set the parameter Record_Deals = false;
• go to MQL4/Information within the terminal folder and open the corresponding file;
• after viewing, shut the file and set the Record_Deals parameter to true for subsequent recording.
