Crypto Scalper EA: MFI Signals, Trailing Stops, and Lot Controls

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document describes a scalping expert advisor that uses the Money Flow Index to identify overbought and oversold conditions. It is presented for five-minute charts, with stated compatibility across other timeframes and instruments including major forex pairs, cryptocurrency, and Nasdaq stocks. The EA is said to trade using the open candle’s price, and its settings include moving-average periods, stop loss, take profit, and a maximum number of trades.

Risk controls include monetary or percentage profit targets, trailing stops for individual or multiple trades, break-even adjustments, and an equity stop. A loss-based lot increase can be disabled by setting its factor to zero; the document also warns users to try the EA on a demo account first. It provides parameter ranges but no backtest, performance evidence, or detailed entry and exit rules. The claimed instrument and timeframe flexibility therefore cannot be assessed from the description, and the lot-increase feature can raise exposure after losses.
