FX Scalping EA Using a Fractal-Based ZigZag Signal

Summary

This document outlines an automated foreign-exchange scalping strategy that uses a ZigZag indicator built from fractals. It limits the system to one open position at a time and specifies that the indicator reading should be taken from bar three, because the indicator does not plot on the three most recent bars. The listed controls include trade size, stop loss, take profit, an EA identifier, and slippage.

The page mentions an example test on real ticks for GBP/USD on an hourly chart, but supplies no results, entry or exit rules, parameter values, or performance statistics. The description is therefore too brief to assess the signal, risk profile, or robustness. The bar-selection detail is relevant to implementing the indicator correctly, but the document does not explain the underlying trading rationale or provide evidence that the approach is profitable.

Key ideas

• The EA uses a ZigZag indicator derived from fractal points.
• It permits no more than one position in the market at a time.
• Indicator values should be read from bar three because recent bars are not plotted.
• The page lists configurable sizing, stop, target, identifier, and slippage inputs but gives no performance results.
