توضیحات

GerFX Density Scalper MT5 (MT4 version here) is a mean reversion system during the quiet hours of the day. It is similar to QuantFlow Scalper but optimized in a few ways to reduce slippage. For example, the entry logic was reduced to make the calculation faster and the exit is done via take profit orders, which can even lead to positive slippage on exiting a trade.

Additionally, it offers various paramters for optimization of entry conditions and other improvements.

It does not use martingale or grid and has a stop loss for every position.

Symbols: EURUSD, GBPUSD, EURCHF, USDCHF, USDCAD, EURCAD, EURAUD, (experimental: AUDUSD, AUDNZD, AUDCAD, EURNZD, CHFJPY, GBPCAD, GBPAUD)

Time frame: M5

Max. drawdown in 16 year backtest: $35-50 per 0.01 (depending on number of pairs)

Live monitoring (my signals are also using the breaking news filter)

Please read the blog post for instructions on how to set up the EA and to download backtests (or use this direct link).

If GMT auto settings are used, the EA will automatically try to detect the GMT offset. Best double check it manually when used the first time.

The EA should run on a VPS continuously without interruption (also Friday evening) to store the historic data. 

Please allow web requests to the following URLs for the calendar news filter and automatic GMT offset calculation:

http://backup.fxdata.cc

http://breaking.fxdata.cc (only needed if you use the breaking news filter)

Ideally, backtests should be done with Tick Data Suite GMT+2 with US DST.

It is important to use real spread in backtesting and not some fixed spread. But be aware that the spread can be very different between brokers at that time.
