The DAX Morning Scalp is an automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades the German DAX index around the start of the European session. It looks for a breakout from the early range, places pending orders, and uses a volatility reading to choose the stop distance and decide if conditions are suitable for trading at all.
Around the DAX opening hour the EA measures recent volatility with the ATR indicator. If volatility is very low, a breakout approach has little to work with, and if it is unusually high, price behaviour can become erratic. In either case the EA can stand aside. When conditions are acceptable it places pending orders beyond a breakout level, and the stop loss is scaled to the measured volatility.
Compare these modes in the Strategy Tester on your own broker's data before choosing one, since results differ between brokers and periods.
The EA is designed for the DAX index only. Depending on the broker the symbol may be called GER40, GER30, DE40 or DE30. The logic is built around the M15 timeframe, but it can be attached to a chart with a different timeframe. Low-spread accounts, such as ECN or raw-spread types, are generally better suited to scalping. Both hedging and netting MT5 accounts can be used.
The main inputs are listed below. Exact defaults can differ, so open the input tab after installation and read each value before you trade.
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Auto-detect DAX opening hour | Detects the opening hour from broker time; works on live accounts but not in the tester |
| DAX opening hour for current broker | Manual opening hour in server time |
| Start minute for NormalMode / AggressiveMode orders | Minute of the opening hour at which each mode places orders |
| ATR period | Length of the volatility measurement |
| Entry deviation | How far price must pass the breakout point to trigger the order |
| Enable NormalMode / AggressiveMode / ReversalMode | Switch each routine on or off |
| Safety mode | Limits trading to the first trade of the day |
The risk per trade is also an input. Choose a value you can afford to lose, and keep it modest while you are still learning how the EA behaves on your account. Set files may be available from the seller; check that any file you load matches your broker's symbol and time zone.
Trading leveraged index products carries a high level of risk and you can lose more than you expected. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
Run the EA on a stable connection, ideally on a VPS, so that pending orders are placed on time each morning.

No. This product is an MT5 expert advisor and cannot be loaded in MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 terminal and an account that offers a DAX index symbol.
Use your broker's German index CFD. Names vary, for example GER40, DE40, GER30 or DE30. Check the symbol name in Market Watch and make sure it is visible before you attach the EA.
Charts run on your broker's server time, and brokers use different time zones. If the opening hour is wrong, orders will be placed at the wrong time of day. You can enter the hour manually or switch on automatic detection, which is meant for live trading only and does not work in the Strategy Tester.
Yes, both MT5 account types are supported. Still, test on your own broker's conditions before trading with real money.
This depends on your broker, the lot size and the risk per trade you choose. Check the contract size and margin requirements for the DAX symbol on your account, and test the settings in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account first.
Yes, and you should. Run it in the Strategy Tester with good tick data from your own broker, then forward test on a demo account. Spreads, time zones and execution differ between brokers.
