BTC Breakout Scalper No Grid No Martingale

- Version: 1.5
- Activations: 10
Strategy Overview
BTC Breakout Scalper Pro is a breakout scalper for BTCUSD M1 that places pending stop orders at high-volatility breakout points, confirmed by RSI filter (12/88 extremes) and ADX M15 ≥ 20 (trending market only).
The EA does NOT use martingale, grid, or hedging. Each trade is a single position with predefined SL/TP based on price percentage. Position size scales with account equity via the built-in Smart_Lots algorithm — bounded by your chosen MaxLots cap (.set file).

Backtest Performance by Deposit Tier
Backtest results, 2024-11-22 to 2026-05-17. Not realized live returns.
| Recommended Deposit | TIER (.set file) | Monthly Avg | Annualized Return | Max Drawdown | Win Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | TIER1 | $754 | 181% | 56% of deposit | 90.4% |
| $10,000 | TIER2 | $1,507 | 181% | 56% of deposit | 90.4% |
| $15,000 | TIER3 | $2,260 | 181% | 56% of deposit | 90.4% |
| $20,000 | TIER4 | $3,014 | 181% | 56% of deposit | 90.4% |
Linear scaling held across all four backtest runs: doubling deposit + matching TIER doubled monthly P&L while keeping drawdown at the same % of equity. Buyers with $50K+ accounts can request a custom TIER5 build via the MQL5 product page comments or messaging system.

- Any broker with leverage ≥ 1:200 and avg execution ≤ 50ms
- Account currency: USD (other currencies should work but untested)

Risk Disclosure
- 3 losing months in 18 (backtest) — strategy is not immune to regime changes
- Average loss is ~4x average win — strategy wins on frequency, not size per trade
- Drawdowns of ~50% of deposit are part of the strategy's normal envelope during chop weeks
- Backtest assumed Exness-class execution. Brokers with significantly worse spreads or latency may produce different results
- $1-2K deposits are not recommended — Smart_Lots scaling will trigger the 40% Max-DD halt
- BTCUSD only — do not run on other symbols (signals are tuned for BTC volatility profile)
- Past backtest performance does not guarantee future results
Strategy Characteristics
- No grid. No martingale. No hedging. Every trade is single-entry with a fixed stop loss. Worst-case-loss is bounded per trade.
- Model=4 real tick backtest — not Model=2 "open prices only". The backtest data quality is documented in the listing screenshots.
- 20ms execution delay simulated in the backtest to reflect realistic ECN/STP latency.
- Single fixed configuration tested across 18 months — no per-month parameter tuning.
- Full disclosure of losing months — the backtest journal shows all 3 of them.
- Linear scaling across deposit tiers — multiple deposit/TIER backtests produce consistent risk-adjusted behavior.
FAQ
Q: What's the minimum deposit?
A: $5,000 (TIER1). The strategy has natural 50% drawdown swings during chop, and accounts below $5K will hit the 40% Max-DD halt and stop trading. The EA is built for accounts that can absorb normal volatility without panic-shutdowns.
Q: Will it work on my broker?
A: Tested on Exness. Should work on any ECN/STP broker with leverage ≥ 1:200 and reasonable BTCUSD spreads (under 50 points typical). Run a 1-week demo test first.
Q: How often does it trade?
A: ~3-5 trades per day on average. Sometimes 0-2 in quiet weeks, sometimes 10+ in volatile breakout days.
Q: Does it use martingale or hedging?
A: No. Each trade is independent with fixed SL/TP. No averaging down.
Q: What if I lose money?
A: The EA has a built-in 40% Max-DD halt — it stops trading if your equity drops 40% from initial deposit. You'll need to manually reset and investigate before redeploying.
Q: Can I use it on accounts other than Exness?
A: Probably yes, but test on demo first. Brokers with very different execution characteristics may produce different results than backtest.
Q: Do you provide signal copying?
A: If a verified MQL5 signal is published for this EA, it will be linked from this product page. Otherwise, please run a demo test on your broker first to verify behavior under your own execution conditions.
