Sensitive
The Sensitive EA is a high-frequency scalping expert advisor that uses a combination of moving average crossovers and RSI momentum filters to generate rapid entry and exit signals on lower timeframes. It aims to capture small price movements with tight take-profit targets and employs a trailing stop mechanism to lock in gains. The EA is designed for liquid currency pairs and operates primarily on M1-M15 charts.

Strategy analysis
The core strategy of the Sensitive EA is a scalping system based on fast moving average crossovers confirmed by RSI momentum filtering. Entry conditions require the short-period moving average to cross above or below the long-period moving average, while the RSI must be in overbought or oversold zones as a confirmation filter to avoid excessive trades in ranging markets. Exit conditions include a fixed-point take-profit, a fixed stop-loss, and a dynamic trailing stop mechanism that activates once profit exceeds a threshold, progressively moving the stop-loss to protect unrealized gains. Position sizing uses a fixed lot model without integration of dynamic lot calculation based on account equity or volatility, which limits flexibility in money management. Risk management relies on stop-loss distance to control per-trade risk, but lacks maximum drawdown limits and position reduction after consecutive losses, potentially facing significant drawdowns during extreme market conditions.
Strengths
- Multi-confirmation mechanism (MA crossover + RSI filter) reduces false signals
- Trailing stop effectively locks in floating profits and reduces profit givebacks
- Clean and intuitive parameter set, easy to understand and optimize
- Scalping strategy achieves higher win rates during clear trending conditions
Weaknesses
- Fixed lot sizing lacks dynamic position management, cannot adapt to account risk
- No maximum drawdown protection or position reduction after consecutive losses
- Scalping is spread-sensitive; lack of built-in spread filter may cause high-cost trades
- No new bar check, potentially opening duplicate positions on the same candle
- Stop-loss is relatively large compared to take-profit (risk-reward ratio ~2:1), requiring high win rates for profitability
Possible improvements
- Add dynamic lot calculation module based on account equity percentage or ATR
- Implement spread filter and new bar check to improve trade quality and prevent duplicate entries
- Introduce maximum drawdown limits and automatic position reduction logic after consecutive losses
Risk assessment
Overall risk: Caution
- Scalping strategy is highly sensitive to spread; high-spread environments can erode all profits
- No new bar check may cause duplicate positions on the same signal, leading to overexposure
- Lack of maximum drawdown protection exposes the account to significant losses in extreme markets
