Key Benefits

• ✅ Verified Track Record: 261-week live Tickmill account with 602% return — at 41.2% peak drawdown, which demands proper position sizing before going live. Compare other verified EAs

• ✅ Strategy: Captures H1 breakout momentum via pending orders placed above/below recent High/Low — profits when price commits to direction, underperforms in flat, range-bound sessions.

• ✅ Risk Controls: Spread filter (30-point cutoff), maximum slippage guard (40 points), and session time limits (08:00–19:00, Friday 09:00–15:00) prevent execution during illiquid windows.

• ✅ Recovery Mode: Optional 1.5× lot multiplier activates after a losing position to accelerate recovery — reduces time underwater but increases drawdown if consecutive losses follow. Compare EA risk profiles

AlgoScalpPro Performance

The 8-year EUR/USD H1 backtest (2015–2023) on $500 starting capital shows 3,312% ROI, 2.87 profit factor, 50.7% win rate across 5,765 trades, and 14.8% relative drawdown.

A separate H1 backtest covering 2019–2023 on $1,000 capital produced a 8.38 profit factor and 10.80% maximal drawdown across 368 trades, with the largest single loss at -$468.88.

Performance Snapshot

The live account reached 41.2% peak drawdown — this occurs when recovery mode activates during a losing sequence and multiple positions compound simultaneously in a trending USD environment.

Recovery mode is controllable: setting Recovery mode = false removes the compounding exposure entirely.

With recovery disabled and Risk at 10, the backtest drawdown ceiling stays below 15% — the 41.2% figure belongs specifically to the live configuration with recovery active at elevated risk.

The live account covers 261 weeks of real-money trading — your broker’s spread, commission structure, and execution latency will shift these numbers from what the Tickmill record shows.

How AlgoScalpPro Works

Mechanism: AlgoScalpPro places pending buy-stop and sell-stop orders above and below the previous H1 candle’s High/Low range, capturing breakout momentum on EUR/USD. The strategy targets the directional commitment that follows a consolidation — when price breaks a defined level with conviction, the pending order fills and the trailing stop locks in profit as the move extends. Both buy and sell directions trade simultaneously unless individually disabled.

Signal Trigger: Pending orders are offset by a configurable shift from the High/Low reference (Buy shift: -13 points, Sell shift: +10 points). The spread filter blocks entry when current or average spread exceeds 30 points. EA is active only between 08:00–19:00 server time; Friday trading is restricted to 09:00–15:00.

Position Close: Primary exit is a trailing stop — activates after 25 points of profit, trails at 8 points with a 2-point step. Hard Take Profit is set at 1,000 points; hard Stop Loss at 210 points. Each position can be split into 2 sub-orders to allow partial profit-taking during the trailing sequence.

Exposure Limits: Slippage guard closes any trade where execution slippage exceeds 40 points. Stop Loss adapts to actual slippage when Adaptation SL in case of slippage is active. Hard news events (Interest Rate, FOMC, Unemployment Rate, ADP Nonfarm) can be filtered out — the news filter is off by default but configurable.

✅ Optimal conditions: Trending EUR/USD sessions with directional momentum after H1 consolidation; London and New York overlap where breakouts commit cleanly; stable spread environments under 15 points.

⚠️ Avoid when: EUR/USD is range-bound or choppy — pending orders trigger and reverse repeatedly, accumulating small losses; avoid during unfiltered high-impact news if the news filter is disabled, as spread spikes can trigger the slippage guard mid-trade.

Who Should Use AlgoScalpPro

Purchase this EA if you:

• ✅ Run MetaTrader 4 on a VPS with uninterrupted 24/5 connectivity — pending orders require the terminal online at all H1 bar opens

• ✅ Trade EUR/USD with a broker offering ECN execution and typical spread under 15 points — the 30-point spread filter will block entries on high-spread brokers during key sessions

• ✅ Have at least $500 available capital and understand that recovery mode (enabled by default) can push drawdown above 40% — either disable it or size down to Risk 5 before going live

• ✅ Are willing to run a minimum 90-day demo on your specific broker before committing real money — the live record is from Tickmill at 1:500; different execution environments will produce different results

Performance verified with: Live account on Tickmill-Live02, 1:500 leverage, ECN execution, Risk 10 with recovery mode active.
