Stochastic and Parabolic Scalping with Trailing and Equity Controls

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This description presents a short-term Expert Advisor using Stochastic and Parabolic indicators, with a suggested 15-minute chart for EUR/USD and NASDAQ stocks. It states that the EA trades using the open candle’s price and offers stop loss and take profit controls, including money-based and percentage-based profit targets. Other settings cover trailing stops, break-even behavior, trade limits, and equity-based drawdown control. Users can also configure moving average periods and an option to increase position size after losses.

The position-sizing option can be disabled, while the document also describes using the EA for either a single trade or a hedging grid. It advises trying a demo and periodically optimizing settings, but provides no backtest data, verified results, or precise indicator-based entry and exit rules. The range of adjustable controls does not establish risk containment or profitability; any evaluation would need to account for sizing escalation, multiple trades, and the chosen market and timeframe.

Key ideas

  • The EA uses Stochastic and Parabolic indicators for short-term trading.
  • The stated preferred setup is a 15-minute chart for EUR/USD or NASDAQ stocks.
  • Profit targets, stop losses, trailing behavior, break-even, and equity controls are configurable.
  • An option increases lot size after losses and can be disabled.
