Product Overview
PIVOT SCALPER X is a fully automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 5 that implements a pivot-based scalping methodology.
The system analyzes price behavior around daily pivot levels and executes short-term trades based on mean-reversion logic.
The EA is designed to operate with:
-
One open position at a time
-
Predefined stop-loss and take-profit levels
-
No martingale, grid or averaging-down techniques
All trades are executed according to strict rule-based conditions.
Strategy Logic
The trading system is built on classical technical analysis concepts.
Pivot Point Framework
The EA calculates daily pivot levels (PP, R1, R2, R3, S1, S2, S3) using standard formulas derived from the previous day’s high, low, and close prices.
Price Reaction Zones
Trades are considered when price reaches or approaches pivot levels and shows signs of short-term exhaustion or reversal based on price action.
Mean Reversion Model
The strategy assumes that price often returns toward equilibrium after reaching pivot boundaries and aims to capture these corrective movements.
Confirmation Filter
A momentum-based oscillator (BH Ergodic Filter) is used to confirm potential reversal timing.
Execution Rules
-
Only one trade can be active at any time
-
Each trade is placed with a predefined stop loss and take profit
Risk Management
The EA includes multiple protective mechanisms:
-
Fixed stop-loss on every trade
-
Take-profit aligned with pivot-based targets
-
One open position at a time
-
Daily trade limit
-
Spread filter to avoid unfavorable market conditions
-
No lot multiplication or progressive position sizing
-
Margin verification before order placement
All risk parameters are configurable by the user.
