Last-Trade Price Scalping with Spread Filters
Summary
The document describes a scalping expert advisor that observes the latest deal price and opens positions based on where that price moves relative to the market. It notes that centralized-market charts are formed from trades made on the market side, and says the robot is configured for RTS futures. The author describes its order openings as having no slippage, but supplies no supporting execution data or test results.
The recommendations focus on spread risk: the latest deal should be above the ask or below the bid to avoid losing to the spread, and a maximum spread can be set as an additional opening filter. The document also says trade volume affects potential profit and reports that volume of one generated income more often in the described extreme mode, where the deal-price deviation is only slightly larger than the spread. These observations are specific to the stated setup; there is no broader validation, risk analysis, or detail on how the approach performs in other markets.

- The document advises checking that the latest deal price clears the bid-ask spread before opening a position.
- A maximum spread setting can filter entries.
- Trade volume and the minimum deal-price deviation affect the reported behavior, but no broader performance evidence is provided.
