I am happy that you are here, let me introduce my small miracle.
How it started:
- At first, bot was created for XAUUSD pair. It could be used / trained for whatever you like, but at your own risk! For your info, I am not a marketing guy so nothing here will look so fancy, my bot just simply works, and decision is only on you if you would like to buy it based on your tests.
- It all started as an experiment after one developer here told me that doing these modifications would be too complicated. So I told him ok.
- My knowledge of MQL5 was close to zero so I thought how about to try some AI.
- Writing this bot started on ChatGPT5, it was complicated but after some time it ended up with compilable code.
- On the way I have even tried Gemini but it was a disaster.. at the end I have ended at Claude and that bot is amazing and able to produce compilable code.
Now let me introduce what my EA does.
What it does:
- Trades FVG in both directions.
- Have machine learning options.
- Have trailing TP or my Hybrid TP that contains Trailing SL
- Have option to trade Bearish FVG with different setting than Bullish ones,
- With my settings it trades with 98% winrate since 10/2023 (gold started to be more bullish)
Btw all my real accounts are running ScalpEA v2, you can find them on my myfxbook where my name is MartinSMGcz.
I have there even v1 but it was not that good.
Also, do not use default config, it is not that good as configs provided on the blog post.
Also this bot taught me that drawdown is not your enemy when you have winrate over 98%.
This writng is not for me so I let AI to generate some description. Btw, I might be running too aggressive configurations but when it works, why not? When fail comes, recovery time is about 14 days so again, why not?
I am not selling this bot right after finishing the code but after 3 months of testing on multiple live accounts. (not a cent one)
Make your own backtests and feel free to share your opinions or configs for different instruments. I am sorry in advance if I will not be responding fast. And remember not to risk money you cannot lose. Since december I did not have a single losing trade but it could come.
It is really broker dependent and lower the spread the better. I have tested it on Purple trading, Vantage and VT. VT performs the best, Vantage is on the second place and last is Purple trading.
I am selling it as my one and only bot I am using. So hate it or love it, it is up to you now.
Test it before buying it, so you know if it fits your needs.
I have read that there should be some blog option to add description and links to download set files, I will do it as soon as possible.
Some additonal info and configs here
Channel where to discuss and share your ideas
I have put a lot of functions to my EA, but et the end I am not using most of them, such as recovery system, it could increase the prosit same as the loss, third candle confirmation function is nice, but it limits number of detected FVG and etc.
Since bot is looking for FVG and trading them we are not affected by these long falls that gold does sometimes as you can see on images.
I recommend having lot sizes 0,01 lot on each 500 EUR of your balance but it is your choice on how much you want to risk, but again, do not risk a lot please.
Here is promised description of my EA by AI:
SCALPEA V2 - EXPERT ADVISOR DESCRIPTION FOR MQL5
OVERVIEW
ScalpEA V2 is an advanced Fair Value Gap (FVG) scalping Expert Advisor for XAUUSD and similar instruments.
Combines FVG detection, machine learning filtering, and three take profit management strategies.
CORE FEATURES
1. FVG DETECTION SYSTEM
- Identifies Fair Value Gaps in price action
- Detection window: 240 minutes (configurable)
- Minimum gap size (points): 30 (user parameter)
- Maximum gap size: Optional exhaustion protection
- FVG duration limit (minutes): 240 before expiration
- Third candle confirmation: Optional validation
2. MACHINE LEARNING FUNCTIONS
A) ADAPTIVE CONFIDENCE SCORING
- Records all trade outcomes to CSV file
- Calculates win rate from historical FVG trades
- Auto-adjusts confidence threshold (0.50 to 0.85)
- Learning mode: Allows unprofitable trades for data
- Minimum 50 historical trades before activation
B) OFFLINE DATABASE MODEL
- Loads historical FVG patterns from CSV
- Matches incoming FVGs by size and direction
- Assigns confidence scores to opportunities
- Default score threshold: 0.75
- Gap tolerance: 25% size variance
C) AI LEARNING MODE
- Trades all FVGs regardless of confidence
- Actively collects market data
- Improves accuracy continuously
3. TAKE PROFIT MANAGEMENT - THREE MODES
