41 Years BACKTESTED 1973 – 2014 | EURUSD PRIMARY PAIR Default Settings | ATR-Grid VOLATILITY SYNC Adaptive Spacing | v2.0 STABILITY UPGRADE 28 New Features |
▶ Overview
Averaging Scalper v2.0 is a fully automated Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 4. It moves beyond fixed-distance grid bots by using an ATR-Adaptive Averaging Engine that reads real-time volatility to set the distance between averaging orders — wider in volatile conditions, tighter in calm trends.
Version 2.0 has been rebuilt from the ground up: 4 critical bugs from v1.x have been fixed (including a hedging logic bug that silently disabled that feature), and 28 professional-grade features have been added. Stress-tested across 41 years of EURUSD historical data on default settings.
▶ Core Advantages
| ✅ Volatility Intelligence: ATR-based grid spacing — no fixed pip distance. | ✅ 3 Averaging Modes: Martingale, Fixed Lot, or Anti-Martingale. |
| ✅ Hard Risk Cap: Max orders per series + max drawdown % auto-close. | ✅ HTF Confirmation: Optional higher timeframe MA trend filter. |
| ✅ Recovery System: Auto-adjusts lots after a losing series. | ✅ News Safety: Spread filter blocks entries during liquidity gaps. |
| ✅ Session Control: Hour range + per-day-of-week filters. | ✅ Partial Close: Bank profit at target, trail the remainder. |
| ✅ Breakeven Auto: Moves SL to entry after N averaging orders. | ✅ CSV Trade Log: Every trade exported to file automatically. |
| ✅ Live Dashboard: 8 real-time stats displayed on the chart. | ✅ % Risk Sizing: Lots calculated automatically from account balance. |
▶ How It Works
| 1 | Entry Signal Three Moving Averages must align in the configured direction. The signal is confirmed by RSI and ADX strength. A spread filter prevents entries during news spikes. |
| 2 | ATR-Based Averaging If price moves against the position, new orders open at a distance of ATR × Distance Multiplier from the previous entry. The grid automatically widens in volatile conditions. |
| 3 | Smart Lot Sizing Three modes: Martingale (multiplies at order thresholds), Fixed Lots (same size every order — safest), Anti-Martingale (reduces as the series deepens). Or use % Risk for automatic sizing. |
| 4 | Exit & Reset The series closes when combined pips profit reaches your target. Optional trailing stop, partial close, and breakeven available. The EA resets instantly for the next entry. |
| 5 | Multi-Layer Protection Running continuously: max drawdown %, absolute equity floor, max orders per series, max series duration, hard SL per position, and recovery mode after a loss. |

One of the rare products that simply says what it does, is transparent about the benefits and limitations, and then just executes well. After testing for a little while on a demo account I let this run on live with great results, and I am replacing a mix of other scalper EAs with this because it's more predictable, more manageable, and easy to reason about.
