IS Green EA – Trailing Stop Scalper with Verified Backtest Results

IS Green EA is a time-filtered scalping expert advisor for MT4, trading defined sessions with trailing stop exits across short timeframes. Two backtests on Myfxbook show gains exceeding 5,000x on initial capital — but no live account has been verified, and the data is 2–3 years old. Buy this EA to study or extend a promising strategy, not to deploy capital on backtest numbers alone.

Key Highlights

• ✅ Source code included (.mq4) — inspect, modify, or rebuild the strategy yourself
• ✅ Two Myfxbook backtests show 5,000x–6,000x returns with drawdown under 8.3% — backtest only, no live verification
• ✅ Time-filtered scalping — trades between 02:00–23:00 server time, avoiding low-liquidity gaps
• ✅ Trailing stop at 15 pips locks in gains on running trades; 10% account stop loss caps catastrophic risk
• ✅ Transparent parameter set — every input is documented and adjustable without recompiling
• ✅ Unlike EAs sold as black boxes, full MQ4 source means you own and control the logic completely

Performance Results

Backtest Signal 1 — $1,000 Starting Capital

The first Myfxbook backtest ran January 2021 to July 2022 (18+ months) on a 5-minute chart using Every Tick modeling. Starting from $1,000, the test recorded a +546,796% gain with a peak balance of $5,468,961. Maximum drawdown held at 5.41%, and monthly return averaged 58.45%.

Numbers at this scale warrant skepticism. A 58% monthly return compounding over 18 months produces astronomical figures mathematically — but Every Tick backtests cannot replicate live spread widening, requotes, or slippage during fast markets. Treat this as a structural proof-of-concept, not a live performance forecast.

Backtest Signal 2 — $100 Starting Capital

The second backtest ran January 2020 to September 2022 (2 years 8 months) on a 1-minute chart. Starting from $100, the test recorded +618,744% gain with maximum drawdown of 8.26% and a daily return of 0.89%. The longer test window and lower timeframe produce slightly higher drawdown — consistent with more frequent trade entry on the 1-minute chart.

Both backtests show drawdown under 8.3% — low by scalping standards. The specific cause of drawdown spikes in the source data is not documented; the trailing stop logic at 15 pips is the primary control. Cap live risk at 1% per trade (Risk: 0.01 default), monitor the first 30 trades manually, and size position lots to keep any single loss under $50 on a $500 demo account. Realistic live drawdown in extended testing typically runs 2–4x the backtest figure, placing a probable range of 15–35% under live conditions.

Backtest results from 2020–2022 — live market conditions have evolved since. No forward test is available. Run a minimum 90-day demo before risking any capital on these results.

How It Works

Strategy: Time-filtered scalping on short timeframes — entries restricted to 02:00–23:00 server time, avoiding overnight gaps and low-liquidity periods where spread spikes cause false signals.

Entry: New bar open trigger with pip-step filter (PipStep: 5) — prevents overlapping entries during consolidation.

Exit: Primary exit via trailing stop activating at 2 pips profit, trailing at 15 pips; take profit set at 1 pip as a secondary close trigger.

Risk Control: Fixed lot sizing at Risk: 0.01 (1% per trade); hard stop loss at 10% of account balance; single open position per magic number.

✅ Best conditions: Low-spread ECN brokers • Stable trending sessions (London/NY overlap) • VPS with under 20ms latency

⚠️ Caution: High-spread brokers (spread >2 pips) will erode the 1-pip TP logic • News events during active sessions — disable EA 15 minutes before major releases

Who Should Use This EA

✅ Ideal for:

• MQL4 developers who want a working scalper base to modify, optimize, or rebuild for current market conditions
• Traders running 90+ day demo programs who need a structured strategy with adjustable risk inputs
• Low-capital starters with $500+ who want to observe scalping logic live before committing larger sums
• Prop firm challengers seeking a low-drawdown baseline — the sub-10% backtest DD fits most evaluation rules, though live validation is required before challenge use. Browse more prop firm EAs
