Trading Strategy
The EA uses scalping, which is a style of trading in Forex where short span holding of trades is done to snag minor gains of the range of 5 to 15 or 20 pips for a trade. If the position size is more the profit can increase.
However, scalping strategies are not as profitable as they claim to be since there are several influencing factors to consider like slippage, swaps, spreads, etc. The strategy is also highly sensitive and differs in the results based on the broker used.
The timeframes used can be M1 or M15. But the use of different timeframes does not essentially provide any difference in the trading as hardcoding is done on all timeframes.
The auto money management setting provides a 2% low risk, which can be increased up to a high-risk percentage of 10% based on the account size and the profit and risk expectations you have.
The developer recommends lots of 0.5 size for an account balance of 10000, and 0.05 for 1000 account balance. The risk should be lowered accordingly when you are using more than one currency pair for the trading. GBPUSD pair should have a high frequency and high-profit setting for better trading results.
Trading Results
Backtesting results have been provided by the developer for 18 years on the currency pairs EURUSD, USDCAD, GBPUSD, and more.
The modeling quality used is 99.9% with tick data and variable spreads. However, you have to remember that that historical data is not predictive of what future results would be like.
The myfxbook results of Smart scalper pro show the demo account with IC markets revealing a drawdown of 5.19% and 6.78% gains with verified trading, but the track record is not verified. Out of 698 trades, the profitability rate was 76% as of October 2020 with the monthly gain change pegged at -0.76%
Customer Reviews
The customer feedback is not promising with several users registering more losses than gains. The lack of profitability can be a big drawback. Moreover, there are not many user reviews available, which is indicative of the less than average performance by the EA.
