Tuning the Aku scalper Indicator inputs

Start with the defaults, then tune for your market. FastEma (default 5) sets the averaging length — raise it for smoother, slower signals or lower it for faster, more sensitive ones; SlowEma (default 13) sets the averaging length — raise it for smoother, slower signals or lower it for faster, more sensitive ones; RsiPeriod (default 14) sets the averaging length — raise it for smoother, slower signals or lower it for faster, more sensitive ones. Also, every alert channel — pop-up, sound, email and mobile push — toggles independently in the same inputs panel, and alerts fire once per closed bar.

Recommended timeframes and instruments

Aku scalper Indicator is built for fast execution on the lowest timeframes.

  • M1 to M5 for the core scalping signals.
  • M15 as the slowest useful chart.

As a result, trade only during the London and New York sessions when spreads are tightest, and stick to tight-spread majors such as EURUSD, GBPUSD and USDJPY.

FAQ

What does the Aku scalper measure?

Is the tool non-repaint?

Which timeframe should I use?

There is no single best timeframe. Then, m15 to H1 is a common starting point for intraday traders, and H4 to D1 works for swing traders. Backtest the configuration on the timeframe you actually trade.

Does it work on instruments other than forex?

It works on any instrument MT4 and MT5 supports — forex majors, gold (XAUUSD), indices like US30 and NAS100, and major cryptos. Thus, yet, fast-moving instruments may need a smaller period setting.

Can I add alerts?
