MACD-Directed Multi-Lot Scalping With Increasing Position Sizes

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document describes a foreign-exchange expert advisor that uses MACD to choose trade direction, then adds positions as price moves by a configurable point interval. Each subsequent position is larger than the previous one, with the size multiplier adjustable in the settings. The batch closes when the largest, most recently opened position reaches its take-profit or trailing-stop condition; the author says that trade is intended to offset losses from earlier positions and leave the batch profitable.

The system can run on any chart timeframe, and the document recommends tuning settings separately for each currency pair. It mentions a live-account report but provides no results, sample details, risk statistics, or independent evaluation in the supplied text. Increasing position sizes can concentrate exposure and leave earlier trades losing when the closing condition occurs, so the claimed recovery mechanism is not evidence of reliable profitability. The description gives no safeguards for adverse trends, maximum batch size, or drawdown limits.

Key ideas

  • MACD supplies the direction for opening the initial position.
  • Additional positions are opened at configurable point intervals and use progressively larger trade sizes.
  • The batch closes when its largest position reaches a take-profit or trailing-stop condition.
  • The method is adjustable by timeframe and currency pair, but the document supplies no detailed performance evidence.
  • Larger follow-on positions can increase exposure while earlier trades remain unprofitable.
