Here is an implementation for a scalping strategy for a quiet market. The strategy was posted by adraz on vamist.com, and as he said, it is not his original one, he got the description from the web, he tested it and it seems to work. After few discussions, he also posted the original (English) material here. As the copy/paste is from a 2-columns PDF file, it could be some mixed texts, but you can get the right point.
My friend ener made a first implementation, which I modified to use fixed lots and recompute the spread in the right way, as for scalping strategy, using variable lots won't work (mathematically, you lose more than you gain by playing constant-risk lots for a fix SL and fix TP).
The resulted modified EA is below. What is interesting: I tested this for a period of 8 years using EURUSD M30, with all M1 data downloaded for the period (for Strategy tester interpolation), charts provided by MetaQuotes (ACT2007 demo account) with 1.0 lot entries, and I used Every Tick testing method. Guess what? It brought the account from 10K to almost 30K during testing period (1999-2007) with an almost linear increase.
Personally I won't trust such approach, as it has nothing behind, except a small psychological trick ("the market returns to close point during quiet periods"). But the fact is the fact, and maybe this approach can be a good starting point for someone trying to develop his own scalping method.
Disclaimer: My personal belief is that scalping is suicide. Don't blame us if you lose money with this strategy. Sorry for romanian comments inside, initially when I modified it, I did not expect any profit, so the comments were dedicated to show to my romanian fellows that the strategy is dead
