Sigma7 Portfolio Scalper

Live Signal

Twelve gold (XAUUSD) breakout strategies in one EA, each trade managed as a fast scalp: a small fixed stop, a tight trailing stop that starts early, and an optional second trade on the same level. No grid, no martingale, no averaging. Fully self-contained — it needs no external indicator and no outside connection.

What it does

Sigma7 Portfolio Scalper runs twelve gold strategies side by side: six on hourly bars and six on four-hour bars. Each strategy has its own conditions and, when they are met, rests a stop order at its own breakout level. Ten strategies place the order past a recent high or low; two place it at the bar open plus or minus a multiple of ATR.

Every filled trade is managed as a scalp. It gets a fixed stop in USD from the start. Once it is a little in profit, a trailing stop follows the price every tick and locks in the gain; the trail does most of the work. Each strategy's own time exit stays in place.

Second-cross runner (on by default): when a strategy's first trade at a level closes in profit and price comes back behind that level within an hour, the EA rests one more stop order at the same level. That trade is held for a longer move: one stop at 2 x ATR(14) of H1, no target and no trail, closed at market after 8 hours.

The EA builds its own hourly, four-hour and daily bars from the broker's H1 bars on a UTC clock, so its signals do not depend on the broker's own H4 or D1 bars or on the broker's time zone.

How to use it

• Symbol: XAUUSD (gold) is recommended. Attach it to one gold chart; the chart timeframe does not matter. The EA also runs on other symbols, with the USD distances scaled to the same fraction of price, but it is designed and tested on gold only.
• Account: a hedging account is recommended, because different strategies may hold a buy and a sell at the same time. On a netting account the strategies share one position.
• Sessions: no order is sent while the symbol's market is closed.
• Broker account: a Raw / ECN account with a tight spread and low commission is recommended. The scalp stop and trail are only a few dollars wide, so cost matters.
• Broker clock: set "Broker server time zone" to match your broker. Most brokers use GMT+2/+3 with the US daylight-saving change (the default).
• Run one chart per account. Keep the terminal running on trading days, ideally on a VPS. Resting orders and open trades are read back from the account after a restart; nothing is saved on disk.
• Test it in the Strategy Tester on XAUUSD first, and run it on a demo account before a live one.

Inputs

Position sizing

• Lot sizing mode: "Risk percent of balance" sizes each order so its stop risks the Risk per trade %; "Fixed lot size" uses a fixed volume.
• Fixed lot size: the volume used in the fixed mode.
• Risk per trade %: the share of balance risked per trade in the risk mode. Default 2.0.
• Size from peak balance: when on, lots are sized off the highest balance seen, so they do not shrink during a drawdown.
• Maximum lots per order: a ceiling on every order. Default 20.
• Maximum spread in USD: no new order is placed while the spread is wider than this. Default 1.00.

Broker clock

• Broker server time zone: GMT+2/+3 with US daylight time (default), GMT+2/+3 with EU daylight time, a fixed UTC offset, or auto-detect (live only).
• Fixed UTC offset hours: the offset used in the fixed mode.

Strategies

• Enable strategy S1 to S12: turn each strategy on or off. All on by default.

Scalp management

• Use scalp management: on by default. Off uses each strategy's own stop and target instead.
• Scalp stop in USD: the stop distance from the entry. Default 4.50.
• Scalp target in USD: the target distance from the entry. Default 200, so in practice the trail closes the trade.
• Trail start in USD, Trail distance in USD, Trail step in USD: the trail starts once the trade is this far in profit, follows the price at this distance, and moves only when it improves by the step. Defaults 0.80, 0.80 and 0.04.
• Entry offset in USD: moves the stop order this far from the strategy's level. Default 0.05.
• No orders over weekend: from Friday 20:00 UTC to Monday 00:00 UTC every resting order is cancelled and none is placed, so a Sunday gap cannot fill old orders. On by default.
• Stop from real fill: when on, the stop is re-set from the real fill price on the first tick after the fill. Off by default.
• Jobs report minutes before, Jobs report minutes after: resting orders are cancelled and none are placed around the US jobs report. Defaults 5 and 15.

Second-cross runner

• Trade second level cross: on by default.
• Second cross window (minutes): the second cross must come within this many minutes of the first fill. Default 60.
• Runner stop (ATR x): the runner's stop, as a multiple of ATR(14) of H1. Default 2.0.
• Runner trade life (minutes): the runner is closed at market after this many minutes. Default 480.
• Only after winning first cross: when on, the runner is placed only if the first trade at that level closed in profit. On by default.

Execution and display

• Base magic number: strategy N uses this number plus N. Default 880500.
• Maximum slippage in points: the deviation allowed on market closes. Default 50.
• Show chart panel: a status card on the chart.

What it does not do

It does not use a grid, martingale or averaging. It does not connect to anything outside the terminal.

Results depend on the broker's spread, commission and execution. Results in the Strategy Tester do not guarantee future results.
