Overview
SwiftCap Scalping EA is a fully automated trading system designed to trade all major CFD markets, including forex, metals, and indices. The system is built on a mathematical edge that takes advantage of small inefficiencies in the market. It identifies rapid price movements within a set time and opens trades in the same direction to capture momentum. Because of this approach, it works effectively across different markets.

Key Inputs Explained
Entry Signal Sensitivity
- This is the most important setting. The lower the value, the more trades the EA will open.
- For forex pairs: use 10–30 points. For gold: use 35–50 points.
- Default is set to 20, which works well for most forex pairs.
- In short: higher values for volatile assets, lower values for less volatile ones.
Take Profit (TP)
- The first trade doesn’t use a TP, it closes with trailing stop settings.
- TP is used for additional DCA trades. When all open trades together reach the TP level per lot in currency, the cycle closes.
Stop Loss (SL)
- By default, no stop loss is used. This adds risk if the market moves against your trade.
- If that happens, the EA opens more trades in the same direction (same lot size) to average out and close the cycle in profit.
Risk Per Trade
- For forex: use 0.01 lots per $1000 balance.
- For gold: use 0.01 lots per $10,000 balance.
- For low budget, a cent account is recommended.
Timeframe to Run the EA
- The EA itself is not dependent on timeframe for the first entry. Timeframe mainly affects DCA trades.
- During DCA trades, the EA can open one trade per bar if an entry signal appears.
- On smaller timeframes, more DCA trades can open in a shorter period. On higher timeframes, fewer trades open over the same time.
- M30 timeframe is a good balance for most conditions, but you can experiment with higher or lower timeframes to see how the EA behaves.
Best Use and Recommendations
- Works best in ranging markets (sideways price action).
- Can also work in volatile or trending markets, but requires a larger account balance to handle drawdowns.
- Always backtest on multiple assets to understand historical drawdown and adjust risk accordingly.
- Use a demo account first to learn how the EA works before going live.
- For safer trading, build a portfolio of non-correlated assets (so not all trades are exposed to one direction).
- Portfolio set files and ideas will be released soon.
- Since this EA is a scalping system, it places a lot of trades. Use a standard account with no commissions instead of a commissions account to save on trading costs. With a standard account, the EA itself will cover the cost of execution.
