Scalping Robot Pro MT5 Settings Guide: Inputs & Defaults

Scalping Robot Pro MT5 settings combine gold-M1 position sizing, adaptive exits and filters for spread, volatility, trading hours and economic news.

Inputs checked in version 7.2 on 2026-11-14. The tables record all 86 rows saved from the actual MT5 Inputs window after Reset, including two section headings. The work checked configuration fields and defaults; no trading or performance test was run for this guide.

Quick setup: the documented market and chart

• Symbol and timeframe: the current listing specifies XAUUSD on M1. Open the broker’s actual gold symbol and check its contract specifications.
• Published minimum deposit: 1,000. Confirm the applicable account currency and contract size; this figure does not establish a maximum loss.
• Leverage: the developer lists 1:10 through 1:2000. Margin availability still depends on the broker and position size.
• Account: the listing names hedging and netting, alongside pricing/account labels including Cent, Standard, RAW and ECN. Confirm how the chosen account handles positions and gold volume.
• Terminal: use the matching MT5 build, check its Inputs and journal, and enable automated trading only when the intended setup is ready.
• VPS: use a continuously running Windows terminal if operation must continue while your computer is off. A VPS does not correct sizing or schedule mistakes.

A broker suffix is part of the symbol name. Do not assume every symbol containing “gold” has the same tick value, minimum volume or trading session. Match the supplied instructions to that broker’s symbol before enabling the EA.

Every saved input, grouped by purpose

Each default below comes from the 7.2 Reset export. The dropdown defaults are shown by their visible names, rather than the numeric enum codes stored in a configuration file. A control’s presence does not reveal its proprietary formula. Where the dialog does not specify units, confirm them in the current instructions before changing a value.

Identity, direction and position sizing

FixedLot is the Reset sizing mode. Risk % is 0.0, but this does not make the 0.01 starting volume risk-free. Recovery, aggressive mode and dynamic lot increases are off. The inputs alone do not establish their complete sizing formulas or a tested risk tier.

Entry spacing and parabolic filter

Exits, trailing and account controls

Adaptive Mode is selected independently for take profit, stop loss and trailing. Keep each selector with its associated numeric fields when saving a configuration. A numeric zero beside an adaptive selector must not be interpreted as proof that the EA has no exit logic. Daily Target and Equity Protection explicitly label zero as inactive; the Emergency Basket Stop field explicitly labels its unit as points.

Spread and execution filters

Candle-size filter

ATR filter

Tick-activity filter

Price-deviation and spike filters

The default volatility filter and the optional spike detector are separate switches. Volatility protection is on; the multi-window spike detector is off. Its stored windows and thresholds are not evidence that this extra detector is active.

AI geopolitical filter

The developer describes server-side monitoring of political publications and temporary suspension of new entries when significant risk is detected. The Inputs check confirms the switch and its default, not the availability or effectiveness of the remote service. Follow the current connectivity instructions and check status messages.

Sessions and weekday schedule

AllSessions is true, individual named sessions are false, and 24 hours Trading is false in the Reset export. Weekday windows are 08:00–18:00. Do not treat those numbers as your local time or assume how the global and individual switches override each other. Confirm the current clock basis and precedence in the instructions. No separate GMT-offset input appears in this inspected set.

Scheduled economic-news protection

The current listing describes high-impact economic-news pauses of 90 minutes before and after applicable events, matching the inspected defaults. This scheduled filter is distinct from the geopolitical and volatility filters. These entry controls do not, on their own, establish what happens to positions already open.

A starting configuration you can document

Use the Reset configuration as a reproducible reference, then determine the appropriate starting volume for the actual account. Do not relabel it “low risk” or import an old preset simply because its filename sounds conservative. Preserve a record of the EA version, broker symbol, account type, volume, filter choices and schedule.

Use Save in Inputs to keep that configuration. Use Load only with a file intended for this exact EA and compatible build, then read the resulting values again. Older configurations can carry different magic numbers, exposure limits, filters and trading hours. A successful load is not evidence of suitable risk.

Broker, execution and clock checks

Check the gold contract’s volume step, tick size/value, stop-distance restrictions and trading sessions. A displayed threshold such as MaxSpreadForTrading must be interpreted using the EA’s documented units and the broker’s symbol precision; do not convert it into a universal number of dollars or pips.

Keep the terminal connected, confirm its journal is receiving prices, and check schedule and news status before changing filters. Compare the platform’s server time with the clock basis stated in the current instructions. A laptop’s local timezone is not a substitute for that check.

Common mistakes and fixes

• No trades: check automated-trading permission, symbol, M1 chart, market hours and the Experts/Journal messages. A session, spread, news, activity or geopolitical pause can legitimately prevent an entry.
• A preset appears to load but results differ: compare every saved value and the build version. Do not assume a 2.0 preset reproduces the 7.2 Reset inputs.
• Unexpected volume: inspect LotMode, Initial Volume, Risk %, optional increase/recovery switches and Maximum Positions together.
• Trading hours look wrong: verify the clock basis and weekday/global session choices before shifting every time value.
• A protection seems absent: check whether it is enabled. Daily Target and Equity Protection are inactive at their zero defaults, and the separate spike detector defaults to false.

Scalping Robot Pro MT5 settings FAQ

Which timeframe and symbol should I use?

The current developer listing specifies XAUUSD on M1. Check the broker’s actual gold symbol and its contract specifications.

Does Risk % = 0 mean there is no trading risk?

No. The inspected default is FixedLot with an Initial Volume of 0.01. The percentage field is not a guarantee of zero exposure or losses.

Why does the EA pause when automated trading is enabled?

Several independent filters can prevent new entries. Read the journal and check the schedule, spread, activity, news and service status before changing settings.

Can I reuse a preset from an older release?

Check compatibility and read back all values after loading it. An older configuration can differ from the 7.2 Reset export; its filename alone does not establish a match.

Are the optional safety controls all enabled by default?

No. The scheduled-news, geopolitical, spread, candle, ATR, tick-activity and main volatility switches are true, but the separate spike detector is false. Daily Target and Equity Protection are zero and labeled inactive.

Does this guide demonstrate profitable trading?

No. It documents inputs and Reset defaults in the inspected build. Strategy evidence and its limitations are assessed separately in the linked review.
