1. OVERVIEW

SuperScalp Pro Auto Trader is an automated trading Expert Advisor (EA) featuring two independent operating modes.

Mode	Name	How It Works	Indicator Required
Mode 1	Internal Logic	Generates trading signals using its internal algorithms, including Supertrend, EMA, RSI, ATR, Bollinger Bands, and ATR Strength.	No
Mode 2	SuperScalp Pro Sync	Reads trading signals directly from the SuperScalp Pro indicator attached to the same chart.	Yes

⚙️ Selecting the Operating Mode

Configure the SignalMode input:

• SIGNAL_MODE_INTERNAL_LOGIC → Mode 1

• SIGNAL_MODE_SUPERSCALP_PRO_SYNC → Mode 2

Important: Only one mode can be active at a time. When switching modes, remove and reattach the EA, or change the input and click OK to apply the new configuration.

Mode 1 Setup Instructions

To use Mode 1, follow these steps:

1. Open your selected trading chart.
2. Attach SuperScalp Pro Auto Trader EA to your chart.
3. In the EA input settings, set:
   SignalMode = SIGNAL_MODE_INTERNAL_LOGIC

4. Enable AutoTrading in MetaTrader 5 (MT5).

Mode 2 Setup Instructions

To use Mode 2, follow these steps:

1. Attach the SuperScalp Pro indicator to your selected chart first.
2. Attach SuperScalp Pro Auto Trader EA to the same chart, symbol, and timeframe as the indicator.
3. In the EA input settings, set:
   SignalMode = SIGNAL_MODE_SUPERSCALP_PRO_SYNC
4. Enable AutoTrading in MetaTrader 5 (MT5).

Important: Make sure both the indicator and EA are running on the same chart when using Mode 2.

2. COMMON SETTINGS

These settings apply to both operating modes.

2.1. SignalMode

Default: SIGNAL_MODE_INTERNAL_LOGIC

Selects Mode 1 or Mode 2.

2.2. Lot Sizing

Input	Default	Description
Common_EnableDynamicLotSizing	true	Enables risk-based lot sizing.
Common_DynamicLotRiskPercent	0.5	Risk percentage per trade.
Common_LotSize	0.01	Fixed lot size when dynamic sizing is disabled or used as a fallback.
Common_UseMinimumLot	false	Forces the minimum configured lot when enabled.
Common_MinimumLot	0.001	Configured minimum lot.

2.3. Maximum Orders

Input	Default	Description
Common_EnableMaxOrdersLimit	true	Enables the order limit.
Common_MaxAllOrders	10	Maximum total orders, including pending orders.
Common_EnableMaxLotSumLimit	false	Enables the total-volume limit.
Common_MaxLotSum	10.0	Maximum combined lot size.

The EA rejects new orders when the applicable limit would be exceeded.

Mode 2 also has Mode2_EnforceMaxOrdersGlobally and Mode2_GlobalMaxOrders. See Section 4.

2.4. Spread Check

Input	Default
Common_EnableSpreadCheck	false
Common_MaxSpreadPoints	200

When enabled, the EA ignores new signals if the current spread exceeds Common_MaxSpreadPoints.

2.5. Trade Direction

Input	Default
EnableBuy	true
EnableSell	true

Disable either option to restrict the EA to BUY-only or SELL-only trading.

2.6. Percentage-Based or Money-Based TP/SL

These settings close positions but do not independently stop the EA from opening new trades.

Input	Default	Description
UsePercentageTP_SL	false	Enables percentage-based profit/loss closing.
TP_Percent	5.0	Close positions when the configured profit target reaches +5% of balance.
SL_Percent	-3.0	Close positions when the configured loss threshold reaches -3% of balance.
UseMoneyTP_SL	false	Enables money-based profit/loss closing.
MaxProfitUSD	500	Close positions when the applicable total profit reaches $500.

2.7. Daily Profit Target & Maximum Loss

Input	Default
Daily_EnableTargets	false
Daily_TargetProfitUSD	100
Daily_MaxLossUSD	50

The daily thresholds reset at the beginning of the trading day, based on the EA's configured server-time logic.

• When the daily profit target is reached, new entries are blocked for the rest of the day.

• When the daily maximum loss is reached, new entries are blocked for the rest of the day.

• The trading status is stored using terminal Global Variables so that restarting the EA or MT5 does not reset the restriction during the same day.

These daily target settings should not be confused with the FundingPips loss-limit system in Section 2.16.

2.8. FundingPips Loss Limits — Important

Input	Default	Description
LossLimitMode	LOSS_LIMIT_EQUITY	Selects the loss-limit calculation basis.
EnableDailyLossLimit	false	Enables the daily loss limit.

2.9. TP/SL Behavior Summary

Protection Type	Behavior
Daily Loss Limit	Stops trading and blocks new entries.
Maximum Loss Limit	Stops trading and closes all positions.
Percentage/Money TP/SL	Closes positions; does not independently block new entries.
Daily Profit Target	Blocks new entries for the rest of the day.
Daily Maximum Loss	Blocks new entries for the rest of the day.

3. MODE 1 – INTERNAL LOGIC

Mode 1 generates signals using the EA's internal calculations. The external SuperScalp Pro indicator is not required.

The internal signal system includes: ATR-based Supertrend Fast, slow;  higher-timeframe EMA filters ; RSI; ATR-based SL/TP and ATR Strength filtering; Bollinger Bands filtering; Higher-timeframe trend confirmation.

3.1. Author's Recommended Configuration

Parameter	Recommendation
Symbol	XAUUSD
Timeframe	M30

Mode1_ATR_Period	14	ATR calculation period.
Mode1_TF_ATR	PERIOD_CURRENT	Timeframe used for ATR calculations.

4. MODE 2 – SUPERSCALP PRO SYNC

Mode 2 is designed to automate trading using signals generated by the SuperScalp Pro indicator.

Unlike Mode 1, it does not rely on the EA's internal signal-generation logic for its primary entries. It reads the signals and associated trading levels from the indicator attached to the same chart.

4.1. Basic Setup

Related inputs:

Input	Default	Description
Mode2_PendingOrderExpireBars	5	Number of bars before a pending order expires.
Mode2_AllowMarketFallback	false	Allows market execution if the specified limit price has already been passed.

EXACT_PRICE warning: When Mode2_AllowMarketFallback = false, an entry can be skipped if the market has already moved beyond the specified limit price. Use this mode only if you understand how pending orders behave.

4.5. Multi-Position Control

Input	Default	Description
Mode2_AllowMultiplePositions	true	Allows multiple simultaneous positions.
Mode2_CloseOnOppositeSignal	false	Closes existing positions when an opposite signal appears.
Mode2_CheckTrendBeforeEntry	false	Requires the entry direction to agree with the Supertrend level.

Fibonacci Close Modes

Mode	Behavior
FIBO_CLOSE_MARKET	Closes the applicable position at market when a Fibonacci close signal appears.
FIBO_CLOSE_SETTP	Modifies TP to the Fibonacci price from buffer 27 or 28 instead of immediately closing the position.

4.8. Fibonacci TP Safety Filter

Input	Default	Description
Mode2_FiboTPSafetyCheck	false	Enables the Fibonacci TP safety filter.
Mode2_FiboTPSafetyMode	FIBO_TP_MODE_ATR	Selects ATR-based or points-based minimum profit distance.
Mode2_MinimumTPProfitPoints	20	Minimum profit distance in points when using POINTS mode.
Mode2_MinimumTPProfitATR	1.0	Minimum profit distance as a multiple of ATR when using ATR mode.
Mode2_FiboTPSpreadAdjust	true	Adds the current spread to the minimum distance.

When Should You Enable Fibonacci TP Safety?

Situation	Recommendation
M1/M5 scalping with consistently low spreads	Optional; disabling it may allow faster market exits.
XAUUSD M15/M30	Consider enabling it to reduce premature exits.
Prop-firm accounts	Consider enabling it, while also accounting for commissions and the firm's loss rules.
H1 swing trading	Consider enabling it when using minimum-profit protection.
High-spread broker	Consider enabling it with Mode2_FiboTPSpreadAdjust = true.

The safety filter changes exit behavior; it does not guarantee a minimum realized profit. Gaps, slippage, rejected modifications, and rapid price changes can still result in losses.

Input	Default
UseNoNewOrderWhenLosing	false

When enabled, the EA blocks new Mode 2 entries while the combined profit of the applicable Mode 2 positions is negative.

The dashboard displays BLOCKED (Loss) in red when this restriction is active.

This feature can help prevent additional entries while a basket is losing. It does not itself close existing positions or guarantee that the loss will be limited.

Verify the precise reset sequence in your version of the EA before using either position-sizing method on a live account.

9. BEST PRACTICES & TROUBLESHOOTING

9.1. Common Problems

Problem	Possible Cause	Suggested Solution
Mode2: Indicator 'SuperScalp Pro' not found	The indicator is not attached, or its name does not match.	Attach the correct indicator to the same chart and check Mode2_IndicatorName.
Mode2: Global max orders reached	The configured global order limit has been reached.	Review Mode2_GlobalMaxOrders, existing positions, and pending orders.
Trade failed — Error 10030 (Unsupported filling)	The broker does not support the requested order-filling policy.	Check the symbol's supported filling modes. If the EA uses FOK but the broker requires IOC or another supported mode, contact the author for compatibility guidance.
Requote / Price changed	Slippage tolerance may be too low or the market may be moving rapidly.	Review Common_Slippage and broker execution conditions.
Invalid stops	SL/TP may be too close to the current price or violate broker restrictions.	Review stop/freeze levels and consider enabling Mode2_ForceValidSLTP.
Dashboard not visible	Another object may overlap it, or its chart objects may have been removed.	Adjust DashboardCorner and DashboardX/Y; verify dashboard settings.
Daily loss limit triggers unexpectedly early	The threshold, reset time, reference balance/equity, or UTC setting may not match expectations.	Review DailyLossLimitPercent, UseUTCForDailyReset, and the Experts log.
Martingale does not work	Mode2_AllowMultiplePositions = true.	Set Mode2_AllowMultiplePositions = false if you intentionally want to use Martingale.

9.2. Suggested Configurations by Trading Objective

These are example starting configurations, not guarantees of safety or profitability.

Objective	Suggested Configuration
Conservative risk control	Mode 2 + Fibonacci TP Safety + 0.5% risk + daily loss limit around 4% + overall loss limit around 9% + Martingale disabled. Supertrend Close can be enabled and tested.
Balanced trade management	Mode 2 + Fibonacci TP Safety + R-based trailing starting at 1.5R + Breakeven at 1R. A daily target of $200 may be considered only after accounting for account size and risk.
Higher-risk growth	Mode 2 + optional Martingale capped at two consecutive losses + Anti-Martingale disabled + 1% risk + 20% overall loss threshold. This configuration carries substantial risk and may be unsuitable for prop-firm accounts.
Prop-firm evaluation	Mode 2 + Fibonacci TP Safety + 0.25–0.5% risk + daily loss limit of 4.5% + overall loss limit of 9% + UTC reset if required by the firm + Martingale disabled.
M1/M5 scalping	Mode 2 + MARKET entry + Fibonacci TP Safety optionally disabled after testing + optional opposite-signal closing + a strict spread filter.

Risk reminder: A configured loss threshold does not guarantee that the account will stop at that exact percentage. Slippage, gaps, commissions, rejected close requests, and differences between the EA's calculation and the firm's rules can produce different results.
