PZ Goldfinch Scalper EA MT5
This is the latest iteration of my famous scalper, Goldfinch EA, published for the first time almost a decade ago. It scalps the market on sudden volatility expansions that take place in short periods of time: it assumes and tries to capitalize of inertia in price movement after a sudden price acceleration. This new version has been simplified to allow the trader use the optimization feature of the tester easily to find the best trading parameters. [ Installation Guide | Update Guide | Troubleshooting | FAQ | All Products ]
- Simple input parameters for easier optimization
- Customisable trade management settings
- Trading session selection
- Weekday selection
- Money management
Beware...
Tick scalpers are dangerous because many factors can ruin the payoff. Variable spreads and slippage decrease the mathematical expectancy of
the trade, a low tick density from the broker can cause phantom trades, the stop level undermines your ability to secure profits and network
lag means requotes. Caution is advised.
Backtesting
- The Expert Advisor uses tick data only. Please backtest in "every tick" mode.
- It does not use HLOC (high - low - open - close) data at all

Related to MT5 PZ Goldfinch EA: 1) Inputs Min Time Window and Max Time Windows are inverted in the input parameters. The Chart shows Max Time Window 2 times and does not show Min Time Window. 2) In the backtests the results are excellent with "Every Tick", but really bad with "Every tick based on real ticks". Is there a reason for this? 3) Do you have some sets of input parameters that showed good results over the time in forward tests with real money accounts?

I'm testing various EAs, also this one as it seemed to get a good response.
Do NOT use this on your live accounts. This is a fair warning. I had ~40% wins and ~60% losses +/- 1% on these results trading on my demo testing account. Sadly, what made it even worse was the fact that these losses by far surpassed the win amount. Approximately W:L ratio 1:5,87.
I used the EA on the default setting.
Please note: These are my findings and they do not necessarily reflect your findings. I have no personal gains from leaving a review.
All the best in your trading endeavors, may it be manual, automatic or both!

Thank you for this free E.A.
Is dll calling mandatory for the Goldfinch E.A.? MQL5 VPS doesn't allow DLL calls.

Very nice work.
Can you insert a new function, that could help to increase the performance.
Maximum Position Duration Time.
I testet it with a self created script acting like a "Scalp Wrapper".
If a position is open longer than the duration time, the position will be closed with loss/profit.
According to different parameters of the TradeSignal, the duration time of position becomes a higher interest.

I tried it for several months on demo, with different settings and risk but it never gains. I'm so sad to say that, this is one of the many EAs that work only in strategy tester (but this is normal for a scalper system, remember: a scalper can't be tested on strategy tester, test it always in live)

I tried this EA in real (of course with a 1% risk)
The results are worse than the backtest, small profits and big losses
I tried to optimize and modify the parameters but the result no changes
sin

In my honest opinion - a VERY fine piece of work.
Congratulations, I'll be looking forward for more interesting EA's!
