Darkstone Fx Scalper

Darkstone FX Scalper is a lightweight, event‑driven momentum engine designed for traders who want a clean, transparent, rules‑based scalping system. It reacts to real‑time price displacement, evaluates the move inside a configurable time window, and executes trades only when the market shows a clear micro‑breakout.

The EA includes a fully integrated Monthly P/L Calendar Dashboard, allowing you to visually track your trading activity directly on the chart. The dashboard displays daily results, trade counts, best/worst days, and a color‑graded heatmap of performance — all filtered by symbol and magic number.

This tool is built for traders who prefer simple logic, strict risk controls, and full transparency.

Key Features

1. Momentum‑Based Scalping Logic

The EA monitors tick‑level price movement and detects fast directional shifts within a user‑defined time window. A trade is only triggered when:

• Price moves at least X pips

• Within Y–Z seconds

• In the direction allowed by the trend filter (optional)

This makes the system responsive during active market conditions while remaining quiet during slow periods.

2. EMA Trend Filter (Optional)

A 200‑period EMA filter can be enabled to restrict trades to the dominant trend:

• Price above EMA → Buy‑only

• Price below EMA → Sell‑only

This helps avoid counter‑trend entries during strong directional phases.

3. Trailing Stop Engine

A configurable trailing stop activates only after reaching a defined profit threshold. The trailing logic includes:

• Minimum step protection

• Breakeven protection

• Stop‑level compliance

• No backward movement of SL

This ensures safe modification behavior compatible with Market validation.

4. Risk Management Controls

• Fixed lot size

• Automatic volume normalization

• Margin‑based volume cap

• Minimum stop‑distance enforcement

• Cooldown between order attempts

All trade requests follow symbol trading rules to avoid invalid stops, freeze‑level issues, or volume errors.

5. Monthly P/L Calendar Dashboard

A unique visual dashboard built directly into the EA:

• Daily profit/loss heatmap

• Best and worst day markers

• Total monthly P/L

• Trade counts (total / today / month)

• Symbol and magic‑number filters

• Auto‑refreshing display

• Navigation between months

The dashboard updates live and provides a clear overview of your trading activity without external tools.

6. Darkstone Chart Theme (Optional)

On load, the EA can apply a clean Darkstone chart theme:

• Black background

• White & sky‑blue candles

• Minimalist grid

• High‑contrast labels

This is optional and non‑destructive (no templates applied).

How It Works (Technical Overview)

1. The EA records incoming ticks and stores price/time pairs.

2. It continuously checks whether the current price has moved by the required pip distance within the allowed time window.

3. If the move qualifies, the EA evaluates trend direction (if enabled).

4. Stop loss and take profit are calculated with full respect to symbol stop levels.

5. The EA sends a market order using the built‑in MQL5 trade class.

6. If trailing stop is enabled, the EA monitors the open position and adjusts SL safely.

7. All trades are logged and displayed in the calendar dashboard.

The logic is simple, transparent, and easy to audit.
