A MetaTrader 4 Forex EA with RSI Half-Scalping and Risk Limits

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document describes Roboost, a MetaTrader 4 expert advisor for major forex pairs on an hourly timeframe. It combines ideas from common forex robots, including RSI-based half-scalping, and can run on multiple pairs with separate settings. Its configurable safeguards include a maximum lot size, stop losses, restricted trading hours, a spread ceiling, and pending orders. An optional sizing feature adjusts trade size according to remaining equity, which means positions across simultaneously traded pairs affect one another.

The document gives suggested initial testing conditions, including EURUSD and a two-year period, but provides no performance results or detailed entry and exit rules. It presents the software as a beta template supplied as-is, and advises further development and extensive testing before live use. Its limits are material: the strategy is not established as profitable, and the stated risk controls do not remove trading risk.
