Stack Horizon 4 for MetaTrader 4 by Yvan Musatov is a tick-driven scalping EA. It builds its signals from incoming quote sequences rather than waiting only for a completed candle. The practical appeal is the range of controls over what counts as an impulse and when execution conditions are acceptable.
Configure the tick signal
Tick count and stack size determine the sequence being assessed. Minimum, step and maximum movement settings define the price range, while confirmation steps and tick-strength filtering help distinguish an entry from small fluctuations. Long and short trading can be enabled independently.
Execution and exposure controls
The Spread/Amplitude Guard can pause entries under adverse conditions. A separate critical-cost guard addresses execution costs, and the alternative order-handling mode is intended for broker-specific requirements. These controls are particularly relevant to a scalper whose results may change with spread, commission and slippage.
Choose fixed lots or automatic capital-based sizing, configure profit/loss distances, and limit trading by session. A news-buffer setting is also documented. Optional position chains have depth and grid controls: allowing additional positions changes total exposure, so this should not be treated as a universally single-trade or no-grid system.
Platform and broker fit
- Platform
- MetaTrader 4.
- Execution
- The developer recommends tight-spread ECN/Raw-type conditions, competitive commission and a stable, responsive feed.
- Pair and timeframe
- The supplied tests use EURUSD M1, but the written specification does not give a universal pair/timeframe prescription for the MT4 file.
- Account sizing
- No minimum deposit is stated in the written listing. Test exposure and margin requirements for your account.
Original testing material

The developer’s gallery uses an MT5 tester and an .ex5 file, despite this being an MT4 listing. Its EURUSD tests use zero-latency ideal execution. These are useful for seeing the proposed controls, but they do not directly verify the MT4 executable or live performance. The review explains the platform mismatch and compares the original reports.
Other EAs from this developer
We also list Explosion Potential MT4, which uses fair-value gaps and layered trend filters, and Ultrarealism MT4. They are separate strategies; sharing an author does not establish identical behaviour or portfolio diversification.
