This is the latest iteration of my famous scalper, Goldfinch EA, first published almost ten years ago. He scalps the market at a
sudden increase in volatility that occurs in short periods of time: he assumes and tries to benefit from the
inertia of price movement after a sudden acceleration of the price. This new version has been simplified to allow the trader to easily use
the tester optimization feature to find the best trading parameters. [

Scalpers from ticks are dangerous because many factors can destroy the result. Variable spreads and slippage reduce the mathematical
expectation of a trade, a low density of ticks from a broker can lead to phantom trades, the stop level undermines your ability to make
a profit, and network latency means requotes. Caution is recommended.

• The EA uses only tick data. Please test in the “every tick” mode.
• It doesn’t use HLOC (high – low – open – close) data at all
• The timing of trading does not matter
