Overview
17BA Gold Scalper places buy and sell stop orders around the market price; once one triggers, the opposite is cancelled. To manage adverse movements, the EA initiates a Fibonacci recovery basket, adding layers at specific price gaps to reach a consolidated take profit. It includes risk management features such as a drawdown guard that closes all positions at a defined loss percentage and an ATR volatility filter. The system offers two variants for aggressive gold trading or tamer multi-instrument operation.
- Pending OCO breakout entry system
- Fibonacci-based recovery basket logic
- ATR volatility filter for entry suppression
- Equity drawdown guard with percentage-based closure
- Automatic volatility-based parameter scaling
