Stargogs Spike Catcher is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that targets the sharp price spikes seen on Boom and Crash synthetic indices. It combines trend and oscillator conditions with its own spike levels, and it can also trade candle-by-candle scalps if you enable that mode.
The EA reads the trend direction and oscillator levels, then looks for conditions that suggest a spike may be near on the chart it is attached to. Boom symbols spike upward and Crash symbols spike downward, so the logic is set up around that behaviour. Entries and exits use take profit and stop loss values that you can adjust.
You can switch individual Boom and Crash indices on or off, so the EA only acts on the ones you want. This is useful if you run several charts and want to limit exposure to specific symbols.
The main targets are Boom 300, 500 and 1000 and Crash 300, 500 and 1000. The EA can be attached to other symbols, but its spike logic is designed around Boom and Crash behaviour, so results elsewhere need separate testing. M1 and M5 are the timeframes most often used for this kind of approach. Test any other timeframe before relying on it.
The exact input names and default values can differ between builds, so open the input tab and read each one before trading. The groups below describe what to look for.
| Group | What to check |
|---|---|
| Index selection | Which Boom and Crash symbols are enabled |
| Indicator inputs | Trend and oscillator periods and levels |
| Take profit and stop loss | Distance values and how they suit the symbol |
| Maximum positions | Limit on open trades at once |
| Cut loss in money | Loss amount at which trades are closed |
| Scalping mode | On or off, depending on your plan |
| Trend change exit | Whether trades close when the trend flips |
The default inputs may not be suitable for every symbol or account size. Contact the author for recommended set files, and compare them with your own testing.
Trading carries risk, and past results do not predict future ones. Synthetic indices can move sharply, and an EA can lose money as well as make it. Test on a demo account first, use position sizes you can afford to lose, and do not rely on any quoted accuracy figure.
Check your broker's lot size limits and spreads on these symbols before you start, and watch the first trades on a demo account to confirm the settings behave as you expect.

No. This product is built for MetaTrader 5. It will not load in MetaTrader 4, so check which platform you use before buying.
The defaults should be treated as a starting point only. The settings that suit one symbol or account size may not suit another, so review every input and test on a demo account first. Ask the author for recommended set files if you need them.
It is aimed at Boom and Crash indices, which are offered by a limited number of brokers. Confirm that your broker lists these symbols and check their contract specifications, such as minimum lot size, before attaching the EA.
M1 and M5 are the timeframes most commonly used with spike-based approaches. Test the timeframe you prefer in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before going live.
The right amount depends on the symbol, lot size, maximum positions and your own risk tolerance. Check the minimum lot size on your broker and size the account so that a losing sequence can be absorbed.
Copy the file into the Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder, MQL5, Experts in MetaTrader 5. Refresh the Navigator or restart the terminal, drag the EA onto a chart and enable algorithmic trading.
