PolyFitScalper
Thanks a lot.
I started to forward test it with Alpari UK default settings, EURGBP, M1.
One trade was open and closed.
I am getting good results for now.
But EA with default settings is not trading often as I see.
I asked Igorad and he replied that if we want for this EA to trade more often so change PS_Sigma_min from 3.0 to 2.0 or 1.5.
I changed to 1.5 and last trade were made using this new settings:
Just about spread.

This is EA based on well-known range scalping technique during night hours (GMT) for such pairs like EURGBP, EURCHF and GBPCHF.
In the EA is used indicator PolyFitBands_v2.3 which you can find in the attachment. The breakout of Upper Band is a signal for opening of SELL position and vice versa the breakout of Lower Band - BUY position.
Also the EA are used advanced timing settings because timing factor is very important for scalping.

-Before trading with this EA please try to find brokers with low spreads.
For this purpose I suggest to use SpreadoMeter_v2.
-Default settings and file Schedule1.txt are for EURGBP M1.
-File Schedule1.txt you should place in experts/files directory for trading or tester/files for testing or optimization.
TimeShift=0 is for Alpari UK(GMT+1), e.g., for MB Trading TimeShift=-6.
-PolyFitBands_v2.3 should be in experts/indicators directory.
PS. Settings and Schedule file for EURCHF M1 are added.
For EURCHF M1: unrar attached file EURCHF_M1.txt and did exact the same as we did for Schedule1.txt.
Beides, change in the setting of the EA the new name of the file to be as the following:
ScheduleName = "EURCHF_M1.txt";
