📌 What it is
CyberLab Scalper is an automated, multi-factor scalping Expert Advisor built specifically for XAUUSD / GOLD (recommended timeframe: M15, M5 and M3 supported). It combines market structure, trend, momentum, candle quality ("spark plug") and volume confirmation into a single confluence signal, then manages every trade with automatic SL/TP, a dynamic trailing stop, and full protection filters.
It is not a grid, martingale, or averaging strategy — one position at a time, with strict risk control.

⚙️ How it works
CyberLab Scalper waits for all five filters to agree on a freshly closed M5/M15 candle before it enters. If even one filter disagrees, it stays out of the market.
1. Trend filter (EMA structure)
- Fast EMA (default 50) vs Slow EMA (default 200)
- Price must be on the correct side of the fast EMA
- Fast EMA must be expanding in the signal direction
- Optional: minimum EMA-gap and multi-bar trend alignment
2. Momentum filter
- Confirms the move with price momentum vs the recent swing (5 bars back)
3. Market structure filter (swing breakout)
- Detects swing highs/lows (fractal method)
- Buy only after price breaks above the last confirmed swing high
- Sell only after price breaks below the last confirmed swing low
- Keeps you out of range-bound chop
4. Candle quality filter ("spark plug")
- Strong body / range ratio (default ≥ 0.55)
- Small wicks / range ratio (default ≤ 0.45)
- Minimum candle range (default 30 points)
- Directional candle (bullish for buy, bearish for sell)
5. Volume confirmation filter
- Signal candle tick volume must be ≥ 1.2 × the 20-bar average volume
- Filters out low-participation, unreliable moves
⚠️ Only when all 5 conditions align the EA opens a trade at the start of the next bar — no repainting, signals are computed on closed candles.
🚪 Entry modes
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Market entry (default) | Instant market order at the open of the new bar after the signal candle closes |
| Breakout entry | Places a pending BuyStop / SellStop at the signal candle's extreme ± buffer, and only fills on a genuine breakout |

✅ Recommended setup
- Symbol: XAUUSD
- Timeframe: M15
- Deposit: at least $1,000 (risk-based sizing recommended)
- Use a broker with low gold spread (spread filter can be tightened to ~300–500 pts on good brokers)
- Run with "Allow Algo Trading" enabled and check that the news filter matches your broker's server timezone schedule
📝 Customer notes / FAQ
- "Why did it not trade all day?" — That is normal. CyberLab Scalper only enters when all five filters agree. It can stay flat for hours or days; the on-chart panel tells you the reason at all times.
- Is it safe on a prop firm account? — It includes daily limits, risk caps and no-grid design; still, always test with your prop firm's rules (daily loss, news ban) and adjust the news filter accordingly.
- Does it work on other pairs? — Built and tuned for gold; other pairs are not recommended.
⚠️ Risk disclaimer
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Trading leveraged products (CFDs, gold) carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Test the EA on a demo account first, and never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
