555 Scalper: Dual EMA Entries with Stops, Basket Controls, and Optional Grid Sizing

Summary

This document describes a short-term automated trading system for five-minute charts, aimed at major forex pairs and Nasdaq stocks. Its stated signal uses two five-period exponential moving averages and acts on the current candle’s opening price. The settings cover fixed take-profit and stop-loss levels, trailing exits, moving stops to breakeven, trade limits, equity-risk controls, and an optional basket protocol that closes groups of trades at specified profit or loss thresholds.

The system can be configured for a single position or a hedging grid, with optional increases in trade size after losses. The document lists many adjustable parameters but provides no backtest results, live performance evidence, execution assumptions, or explanation of how the EMA signal generates entries. It advises trying a demo and periodically optimizing settings. Since the sizing progression and grid mode can amplify exposure, and the stated controls do not establish protection under all market conditions, the parameter list alone is insufficient to assess risk or effectiveness.
