Ratio X Stochastic Scalper — Advanced Stochastic Reversion EA for MT5
What it is
Ratio X Stochastic Scalper is a disciplined scalping Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 which enters on Stochastic overbought/oversold reversals, optionally filtered by trend and volatility. It includes robust risk controls (fixed SL/TP, risk-based position sizing, trailing stop, break-even, daily loss and drawdown limits) and clean, MQL5-native notifications.
Who it is for
- Traders who want a rule-based scalper with transparent logic
- Users who prefer configurable risk and capital protection features
- Those backtesting and forward-testing on liquid symbols and tight spreads
How it trades (strategy overview)
- Signal: Buys when Stochastic crosses up from oversold; sells when it crosses down from overbought.
- Confirmation: Optional requirement that the Main line crosses the Signal line.
- Trend filter (optional): Price must be above/below a user-defined MA to align with bias.
- Dynamic levels (optional): Overbought/oversold thresholds adapt using recent Stochastic percentiles.
- Volatility filter (optional): Trades only when ATR is within a specified range.
- Time filter (optional): Restricts trading to user-selected session hours.
Key features

- Risk-based lot sizing by percentage (or fixed lot)

Setup (quick start)
- Attach the EA to the chart and set the working timeframe you intend to trade/test.
- Choose SL/TP and either a fixed lot or a Risk % (Risk % requires SL > 0).
- Optionally enable: Trend MA, Dynamic Levels, ATR filter, Session hours.
- Set Max Spread suitable for your broker/symbol and Max Positions ≥ 1.
- Enable notifications as needed (alerts/email/push via terminal settings).
Testing & optimization tips
- Use broker-specific tick data and realistic commissions/slippage.
- Verify spread and session filters match the symbol’s trading hours.
- When optimizing, group parameters into blocks (signal → filters → risk).
- Forward-test on a demo before going live; validate stability across months with different regimes.
Best practices
- Prefer liquid majors and metals during active sessions; avoid illiquid hours if using the time filter.
- Keep Max Daily Loss and Max Drawdown guards enabled to protect equity.
- Align ATR range with the symbol’s normal volatility to avoid extreme conditions.
