About ChallengeScalMorning_S_AUDCAD

ChallengeScalMorning_S_AUDCAD is an EA in the CSMS (ChallengeScalMorning_S) series, developed based on the ChallengeScalMorning_V (CSMV) series, which has over six years of real account forward testing data. The CSMS series optimizes the logic for each currency pair, and this EA uses a trading logic tailored specifically for AUDCAD. ChallengeScalMorning_S_AUDCAD trades to capture liquidity recovery in the early Japan time, a short-term, decisive scalping EA. It enters in the early Japan time and aims to move during the price action around the Tokyo market open.  
 

Features

① Enter in the long-term trend direction with three entry logics

It is an EA that targets pullbacks and retracements in the medium-to-long-term trend direction. It carries three entry logics that combine a trend-detection logic with multiple indicators.  

② Small losses, large gains

Many morning scalper EAs prioritize win rate, but CSMS seriesprofitability ＞ lossis designed with small losses and large gains.

Note that this EA sets a relatively wide maximum stop loss, but the actual average loss is about -6.78 USD (about -9.2 pips) at 0.1 lots, meaning most trades end with small losses.  

③ Logic aiming at liquidity recovery in the morning

Early morning in Japan is a low-liquidity period where short-term pullbacks or retracements in the trend direction are more likely. This EA enters on pullbacks and retracements during this time to target price movement after the Tokyo market opens. Note that spreads may widen in the early Japan morning depending on the broker. In winter time spreads widen around 7–8 AM, in summer around 6–7 AMand in that period entry may be avoided or the number of entries may be reduced. This is not unusual; it is a design to avoid trading when spreads widen. Entries tend to increase around the spread widening period.  

④ Short-term decisive EA

This EA is not ultra-short-term scalping where positions are closed in a few minutes, but it is a short-term decisive EA that closes positions within a few hours after holding. Short-term decisive EAAfter entry in the early morning, the holding time is up to less than 5 hours, with settlement around 9:50 AM local time.

Q&A

QPlease tell me your recommended broker or brokerage. ASince this is an EA that enters in the early Japan time, brokers where AUDCAD spread widens extremely in the early morning may cause stop loss to hit, so we do not recommend them. We recommend brokers with as narrow a spread as possible and where the spread does not widen too much in the early morning.   QCan it be used for currency pairs other than AUDCAD? AThis EA is AUDCAD-specific and cannot be used with other currency pairs.   QCould you share more details of the logic? AWe’re very sorry, but the detailed logic is not disclosed.   QWill it always be profitable? ANot guaranteed; if the market conditions do not align with the logic, losses can occur. Therefore, profits are not guaranteed, and losses can occur.   QIs it okay to run with other EAs at the same time? AYes. However, if the magic numbers are the same, please change the numbers to avoid conflicts.   QIs it okay to run it continuously? AWe aim to develop an EA that can run for a long period, but drawdown may increase or stagnate. If that happens, continuing to run may widen losses, so decide whether to run based on drawdown size and acceptable loss thresholds.   QIs a VPS necessary? AA VPS is not mandatory, but is recommended for stable operation.   QPlease tell me the average holding time. AThe average holding time is within several hours, with trades typically settled by around 9:50 AM on the same day.
