ATR Risk Controls and Fast Indicators for a One-Minute Scalper

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This brief description outlines an automated short-term scalping strategy for one-minute charts. It names a six-period RSI and a two-period moving average as fast signals, and recommends filtering trades when spreads exceed a stated range. It also suggests a small starting lot size and adjusting settings for market conditions.

The clearest method detail is dynamic risk management: average true range is used to adapt stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing-stop levels. The document gives no entry or exit rules tying the RSI and moving average to trades, and it provides no performance results, backtest, or recommended symbols. Its advice to begin on a demo account and tune parameters is practical, but the strategy cannot be evaluated from the supplied description alone; short-term trading remains exposed to spread and execution costs.

Key ideas

  • ATR is used to adapt stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing-stop distances.
  • The described one-minute setup uses a short RSI and a very short moving average.
  • A spread filter is intended to avoid trading in costly conditions.
  • The description provides no performance evidence or complete signal rules.
