I have been doing a lot of work on an EA to scalp the EU with a TP of 5 pips with an anticipated spread 2 pips giving me a net 3 pips per trade. SL is 7 pips.
I have never traded live, I am a professional programmer, and have an undying belief that the right EA strategy can win with a win/BE rate of 75-80%.
My test results are positive in a perfect world. But before going live, I would like to validate that this set of design factors can work in the real world.
I am using the M1 with the Trix Unity indie, and some proprietary indies based on Better Volume, Mtf Stoch, and FX Snipers famous triple ema Ergodic CCI. Trading only occurs from 1 hour before session open to 2 hours after session open on the Frankfurt, London, and NY.
Fundamental to my scalp strategy is to go to break even when I reach 4 pips profit to cover the spread of 2 pips
So the question is, am I smoking dope to think that I can actually end up with a pip or two or three when considering broker stop hunting, and slippage?????
Be kind if I an delusional on this. Any sharing of experience would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
