How ScalpPrime EA Works


ScalpPrime EA V2.1 continuously scans selected currency pairs for setups that meet its proprietary entry criteria. Once conditions align—such as a sudden spike in momentum combined with low spread—the EA initiates a market order. From that point, its dynamic money-management engine adjusts stop-loss and take-profit levels in real time, based on average true range (ATR) and recent price volatility.


Trade lifecycle:



  1. Signal Detection: The EA monitors price action and volatility bands to detect scalping opportunities.

  2. Order Execution: When a signal is confirmed, orders are sent to your broker with sub-millisecond latency.

  3. Risk Management: Stop-loss levels trail dynamically to lock in profits and limit downside.

  4. Partial Close: A portion of the position can be closed at predefined profit levels, while the remainder follows the market.


This structured approach ensures you capture small but frequent gains while protecting against sharp reversals.
