Overview

Scalping Trading Bot Forex identifies entry levels by analyzing highs and lows over a user-defined number of bars. The robot includes built-in risk controls such as hard stop loss and take profit levels, along with a trailing stop mechanism. Users can configure the bot to use either fixed lot sizes or a percentage-based risk model. While documented for EURUSD, it utilizes generic price action logic.
