Scalper Bot (10m MES)

What is Scalper Bot (10m MES)?

The MES Scalper is a fast-paced automated trading system designed for the S&P 500 futures on shorter timeframes. It combines reversal signals with multi-timeframe trend filtering to capture quick moves while avoiding trades that fight the prevailing market direction.

Core Concept

This strategy is built for scalping - taking smaller, faster profits with tight risk management. It uses several built in indicators to detect safe times to take counter trend trades. This keeps the entries safer and preserve a higher winrate.

How It Works

Reversal Signals

Entry signals are generated using multiple reversal indicators stacked on top of each other to find high quality entries. It also avoids fighting strong trends.

Time-Based Trading Rules

The strategy enforces strict time windows based on ES market behavior:

• Daily Close at 3:55 PM ET: All positions are closed before the end of the regular session, eliminating overnight exposure and avoiding the chop around market close.

• No-Trade Window (3:55 PM - 5:00 PM ET): No new entries during this period. This covers the session close and early evening when liquidity drops and spreads widen.

Risk Management

The strategy uses tight, scalp-appropriate risk parameters:

• Take Profit: 2.5 points from entry

• Stop Loss: 6 points from entry

This gives a roughly 2.4:1 risk-to-reward ratio, accepting a wider stop to avoid getting shaken out of valid setups while taking profits quickly when the move happens.

Breakeven Protection

Once a trade moves 2.5 points in profit, the stop loss moves to breakeven. This locks in a risk-free trade and lets winners run toward the full target without giving back gains.

Position Sizing

The strategy uses a fixed 2-contract size per trade, keeping risk consistent across all entries
