What results can I expect with Aura Scalper Engine? +

With Conservative setup (0.5% risk, 2-3 symbols, $2,000+ capital), expect 3-8% monthly returns and 5-10% typical drawdown during volatile periods with 2-3 week recovery cycles. Results depend heavily on broker spread quality (<200 pips), VPS uptime (news filter timing critical), and trading during optimal Tuesday-Thursday European sessions (08:00-12:00 GMT). The 342.80 daily profit shown represents aggressive 4.0 lot sizing—most users operate 1.0-2.0 lots producing 50-150 daily profit ranges. Demo test 90+ days mandatory to validate your broker execution matches backtested conditions before risking capital.

What makes Aura Scalper Engine different from other scalping EAs? +

Three key differentiators: (1) AI-enhanced multi-index scanning monitors 4+ indices simultaneously (DE40, US30, US100, JPN225) rather than single-pair focus, capturing best setups across correlated markets. (2) Hybrid strategy combines machine learning confidence filtering (AuraIndex_Policy_v2 model) with traditional technical indicators (trend flow, CCI, EMA divergence) for dual-layer validation. (3) Adaptive news protection includes configurable 3-12 hour lockout windows and Monday session delays—most scalpers lack dynamic event filtering, leading to spike losses during announcements.

Does Aura Scalper Engine work on demo accounts? +

Yes, demo testing mandatory 90+ days before live deployment. The EA operates identically on demo and live accounts, but you must verify: (1) Broker spread consistency (demo often shows tighter spreads than live—confirm <200 pips average), (2) News filter timing accuracy (VPS clock synchronization critical for 3-12 hour lockout windows), (3) AI model performance across different market cycles (test through trending and ranging periods). Demo validates your specific broker execution quality matches the system's design assumptions—unverified screenshots cannot guarantee your environment will replicate results.

Can I use Aura Scalper Engine for prop firm challenges? +

Not recommended for standard prop firm challenges. While the 5% maximum drawdown appears FTMO-compatible, three factors disqualify it: (1) High-frequency scalping (88 trades over 4 days) often violates prop firm daily loss limits through rapid losing streaks before recovery, (2) Index CFD focus (DE40, US30) may not be available on all prop accounts—verify instrument access first, (3) News lockout windows can miss challenge profit targets by staying inactive 3-12 hours during evaluation periods. If attempting challenges, use Conservative tier with 0.3% risk and 1-2 symbols only—expect slower progress but better compliance with daily drawdown rules.

What capital do I need to run this EA safely? +

Minimum $1,000 for Conservative setup (1.0 fixed lots, 0.5% risk per trade, 2-3 symbols)—tested floor for sustaining typical 5-8% drawdown without margin calls. Recommended $2,000-$5,000 range provides better drawdown tolerance during 10-15% spike events (rare but documented in volatile index sessions) and allows scaling to 2.0-4.0 lots for meaningful profit. The $5,699 account shown generated $342.80 daily with 4.0 lots—replicating requires matching capital level. Undercapitalization below $1,000 risks margin closeouts during consecutive losses (scalping systems face 3-5 trade losing streaks regularly). Calculate using broker margin requirements: DE40 typically needs $30-50 per 1.0 lot depending on leverage.

What are the main risks and how do I manage them? +

Primary risk: 5-10% drawdown during news spikes or low liquidity when spread widens beyond 400-pip threshold and trailing stops fail to execute at planned levels. This occurs during unexpected announcements (ECB surprises, Fed minutes) or Asian session thin liquidity—the 3-12 hour news lockout reduces but doesn't eliminate exposure. Control by: (1) Start Conservative tier with 0.5% risk and 2 symbols maximum, reducing exposure 60% versus default 4-symbol aggressive scanning. (2) Use $2,000+ capital providing 3-week recovery buffer after 10% drops versus $1,000 accounts reaching margin pressure in 5-7 days. (3) Set max spread filter to 200 pips (half the 400 default) on volatile brokers, preventing entries during widened conditions. (4) Enable breakeven at 10 pips (default ON) protecting 40-50% of trades from reversals. Expect 3-8% monthly returns with proper Conservative setup and accept 2-3 week recovery cycles as normal system behavior—the AI confidence threshold (0.7) balances trade frequency against accuracy, raising to 0.8 improves win rate but cuts signals 30-40%.

Which brokers work best with this EA? +

ECN/STP brokers with index CFD spreads <200 pips during European session (08:00-12:00 GMT) perform best—the EA's 15-pip stop loss requires tight execution to avoid slippage losses. Recommended: IC Markets, Pepperstone, FP Markets (verified <150 pip average on DE40/US30 during active hours). Minimum 1:100 leverage required for index CFD margin—some brokers offer 1:500 on indices providing better capital efficiency. Avoid: Market maker brokers with requotes during volatility (breaks news filter logic), brokers widening spreads >400 pips during announcements (triggers emergency exits), and platforms lacking JPN225/US2000 symbols (limits scanner effectiveness). Test your broker on demo 60+ days—measure average spread during your intended trading window, not just broker's advertised typical spread.
