MT5 M1 Scalping EA – Requirements (Short Brief)

Build an MT5 EA focused on low-latency M1 scalping, where performance depends on execution quality (spread, slippage, commissions), not complex indicators.

Core Idea

• M1 timeframe scalping only
• Short-term momentum + volatility-based entries
• Trade only in high liquidity sessions (London + NY)
• Avoid low volatility / Asian session conditions

Execution Rules (Critical)

• Max spread filter (configurable)
• Max slippage filter
• No trade if execution conditions are poor
• Commission-aware logic

Strategy Behavior

• Fast, lightweight logic (no heavy indicators)
• Optional tick confirmation for entry timing
• Tight SL/TP (scalping style)
• High frequency but controlled trading

Risk Management

• Configurable risk per trade (%)
• Max daily trades / drawdown limit
• Optional equity protection

Trade Management

• Simple structure only
• Optional break-even + basic trailing stop
• No complex hedging

Important Note

Performance depends heavily on broker, spread, and VPS latency. EA must be optimized for ECN-style execution.
