What causes a breakdown in scalping isn't just the entry. A story about systematizing the way you end.

While scalping,

have you ever thought like this?

“The entry is somewhat correct.

Yet, for some reason I can’t win.”

That was also my experience for a long time.

To improve entry precision,

I added indicators,

packed the logic,

and studied the entry alone.

But,

the collapse wasn’t caused by

the ‘entry’ alone.

There was also the way you exit.

■ With scalping, you can also differentiate by the exit

In scalping,

the speed of judgment is everything.

Within seconds or tens of seconds,

will you take profit,

will you cut losses,

or hold a little longer.

In this split second of judgment,

I have collapsed many times.

“It might go a little further”

causing me to miss taking profit,

“It might rebound”

causing delays in stopping losses.

This is not about the entry.

Because you decide the exit

with the emotions of the moment.

That’s why.

The exit is decided on the spot by emotion.

■ Zan EA is not an entry EA

The Itabashi FS Processing EA “Zan”

is not a tool to improve entry precision.

The entry remains discretionary until the end.

What Zan handles is,

・Take profit

・Stop loss

・Guard (reversal close based on the close price)

・BE (breakeven protection)

which are the,

“exit” aspects only.

Guard is based on the close price of the opposite direction’s confirmed bar,

and forms the exit line,

not reacting to wicks or temporary reversals.

When the close price crosses and confirms the line,

it is exited for the first time.

BE is,

when unrealized profit reaches 50 pips in the initial setting,

it moves the stop loss to breakeven +15 pips,

protecting profits.

(Parameters can be changed)

■ Reducing “wasted trades” is not about precision but structure

Reductions in wasted trades don’t come from better entry precision.

Because exit decision becomes unambiguous,

you won’t distort exit with emotions.

Let decisions be handled by the system.

That alone reduces the number of times you repeat the same mistakes.

■ Supported environment for Zan EA

・GOLD (XAUUSD) only

・MT4 only support (MT5 not supported)

・Entry is discretionary

・VPS is not mandatory, but MT4 must be running for exit management

■ Summary

In scalping, a collapse isn’t caused only by the

“entry method.”

There is also a collapse in the

“exit method.”

Zan EA was created to support that exit method

structurally as a settlement-focused EA.

Profitability is not guaranteed.

Trading involves risk.

Nevertheless,

for those who collapse at exit,

I would like you to take a look at the mechanism once.
