The scalper Expert Advisor monitors and makes deals when the number of bull / bear bars in a row reaches a predetermined value. It works on opening a new bar (by default M5), if the signal continues, an additional transaction is opened. The adviser has several parameters that respond directly to the direction of trade:
- TIMEFRAME - working timeframe;
- MIN_BAR_SIZE - minimum bar size, set as% of ATR;
- DIRECTION_CONTINUED - the number of bull / bear bars in a row to open a transaction in the direction of travel;
- DIRECTION_REVERSAL - the number of bull / bear bars in a row to open a trade opposite to the direction of movement;
- PERIOD_ATR - period of the ATR indicator, for calculating the minimum bar size;
- MAX_ORDERS - the maximum number of orders in one direction;
- IGNORE_SIGNAL - ignore the signal to open a trade if there are already open positions opposite to the signal until the number of opposite trades reaches the value MAX_ORDERS;
The adviser has a time job function:
- START_HOUR, START_MINUTE - the hour and minutes allowed to open trades;
- STOP_HOUR, STOP_MINUTES - hour and minutes for the end of trading;
- CLOSE_ZEROLEVEL - close all orders on breakeven if the allowed time for trading is over;
