- Activations: 5
A universal multi-symbol scanner that combines two analytical systems in one panel.
⚙️ Functionality
- Finds entry points in the market and shows the MEGA TRADER — Complete User Guide
Version: 1.05 Type: Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 Purpose: automated trading of DIVERG divergence signals with a sideways-market filter, deposit-based risk management, ATR-based SL/TP and a trailing stop.
⚠️ Important: this is a fully automated Expert Advisor. It opens, modifies and closes trades on its own. Always test on a demo account first and make sure the risk settings match your strategy before using it on a live account.
1. What It Is
MegaTrader is the trading "little brother" of the MegaScanner indicator: it uses the same signal logic, but instead of displaying signals on a panel, it opens trades itself according to strict rules.
Key principles of the system:
Principle Implementation Sideways only The system is counter-trend (divergence-based) — it trades only when EMA150 is nearly flat and ADX is below the flat threshold Fixed risk Lot size is calculated so that the SL loss equals a set % of the account balance ATR-based SL/TP Stop and target scale with current volatility (ATR multipliers) TP 1:2 Take profit = 2 stop distances — the classic risk/reward ratio Trailing stop Profitable positions are managed with a trailing stop (SL follows price) Breakeven After the first target is hit, the position moves to breakeven 2. The DIVERG Signal System
The EA trades signals from the DIVERG system — reversal divergences and patterns:
Component What it uses Divergences RSI(9) and Stochastic — price/oscillator divergence Candlestick patterns Pin bar, engulfing, PPR (pindi-push-reverse), tweezer Volume Signal confirmation by increased volume Scoring Each fulfilled condition = 1 point; entry threshold — InpMinCond (recommended 2) Entry filters
Filter Parameter Purpose Sideways (EMA slope) InpFlatEma Blocks entries if EMA150 is tilted more than 0.10% over 20 bars — market in a trend Flat (ADX) InpFlatFilter / InpFlatAdx Blocks entries when ADX(14) is below 25 — too weak movement Max spread InpMaxSpreadPts Skips trades with widened spread (>30 points) Position limit InpMaxTrades / InpMaxPosPerSym One position at a time, max 1 per symbol 💡 Why the sideways filter is critical: divergences are a counter-trend tool. In a trend they produce losing streaks; in a sideways market they produce steady profit. The EMA slope filter removes trending regimes.
3. Risk Management
Lot calculation
risk money = balance × InpRiskPct / 100 loss per 1 lot = (|entry − SL| / tickSize) × tickValue lot = risk money / loss per 1 lot
So regardless of stop width, the loss per trade ≈ the set % of the deposit:
- narrow SL → larger lot;
- wide SL → smaller lot.
Protection
Protection Parameter Description Max lot InpMaxLot Insurance against over-risking (default 5.0) Margin check — Lot is automatically reduced if free margin is insufficient Min lot — If the calculated lot is below the minimum — the trade is skipped Normalization — Lot is rounded down to the step (lotStep) 📌 Example: deposit 10,000 USD, risk 3% = 300 USD per trade. If SL = 50 pips → lot ≈ 0.6. If SL = 15 pips → lot ≈ 2.0. The loss is ≈ 300 USD in both cases.
4. SL / TP / Trailing
Stop loss (ATR)
SL = low/high ± max(10 points, ATR(14) × InpSLATRMult)
The stop is placed beyond the signal bar's extreme with an ATR offset. If a support/resistance level is nearby, the stop is moved beyond it.
Take profit 1:2
TP = entry ± 2.0 × ATR(14) (1:2 ratio to the stop)
Trailing stop
Parameter Value Description InpTrailStart 0.5 ATR Trailing activates after +0.5 ATR profit InpTrailDist 1.0 ATR SL is kept 1.0 ATR from price Breakeven
After the first target (1.0 ATR) is reached, SL moves to breakeven (+5 points).
5. Installation & Setup
- Copy MegaTrader.mq5 to the MQL5\Experts\ folder.
- MetaEditor → Compile (F7) → should show 0 errors, 0 warnings .
- In MetaTrader 5, drag the EA onto a chart (e.g., EURUSD H1).
- Enable algorithmic trading (the "Algo Trading" button).
- Set InpTradeEnable=true , configure risk and press OK.
📌 The EA trades one symbol — the one it is attached to. The default timeframe is H1.

- ⚠️ The system works only in a sideways market. In trending years (like 2023) it loses money. This is normal for divergence strategies — but keep it in mind when planning.
- ⚠️ 3% risk is aggressive. With a 10,000 deposit that is ~300 USD per trade. In a bad year the drawdown can reach 40%+. For conservative trading, lower it to 0.5–1%.
- ⚠️ Past results do not guarantee future returns. Parameters were fitted on 2023–2024. A forward test and periodic review are recommended.
- ✅ The EA uses InpMagic to identify its own trades — it does not conflict with other EAs.
- ✅ Check your broker's conditions: minimum lot, lot step, leverage and commissions.

- Trend Scanner — trend by EMA 150/365 (H1) + daily trend (D1 EMA 9/21), confirmed by RSI 14 and MACD;
- Divergence Scanner — divergences by Stochastic and RSI 9, reinforced by candlestick patterns (pin bar, engulfing, PPR) and above-average volume;
- Combo signals "2×BUY/SELL" — when both systems point in the same direction, you get a high-confidence signal;
- Support/Resistance levels — multiple price touches with above-average volume on higher timeframes;
- Signal bar highlighting and real-time updates every few seconds.
🛡️ Reliability
- The EA does NOT trade — it only analyzes: zero risk to your account;
- Flat market filter (ADX) — signals are blocked in a sideways market, where mistakes are most common;
- Double confirmation — two independent systems + multi-factor condition checks drastically reduce false signals;
- Full transparency: all conditions are configurable — from the number of matches to timeframes and indicator periods.
💎 Benefits
- Saves hours of manual analysis — scans dozens of instruments at once;
- Two views of the market in one table — trend and divergences at a glance, no chart switching;
- A ready trade plan — direction, entry point, stop and take are already determined;
- For all skill levels — beginners get ready signals, professionals get full logic transparency.
