Hybrid Scalper: Indicator Entries and Volatility Filters
Summary
Hybrid Scalper is a forex Expert Advisor that uses Stochastic direction and RSI to determine buy and sell entries. It describes closing losing orders based on RSI while retaining profitable positions and modifying their stop-loss or take-profit settings. A second strategy can reverse positions, and users can disable it. The EA also offers controls for trading days, maximum spread, strategy identifiers, account information, and trade notifications.
Bollinger Bands are used to identify unstable market conditions, during which the system may stop trading. It also normally avoids trading near year-end. The description recommends a five-digit, true ECN broker with a stated spread limit, but provides no performance data, rules for position sizing, or detailed exit parameters. It explicitly calls the version unstable and warns that it may either make money or lose the entire account over several years; the claimed outcomes are not supported by backtest or live-trading evidence.
Key ideas

- The document calls the EA unstable and warns of potential total account loss without supplying performance evidence.
