FastScalp · MT5 scalping panel
One-click scalping for MT5, with your risk locked.
Scalping needs speed, and speed is where discipline breaks. FastScalp lets you buy, sell and close from the keyboard, while every trade still follows the risk and daily limits locked into your licence.
How FastScalp works
FastScalp is part of the RavandFX panel on your MetaTrader 5 chart. Once it is on, three keys do the work:
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| B, then B again | The first press selects Buy, the second opens the trade |
| S, then S again | The same for Sell |
| C | Closes all your trades |
Two presses to open means a stray key never opens a trade, and the whole thing still takes under a second. With X2 on, you can add a second trade in the same direction the same way.
Every FastScalp trade gets a stop loss and a target at the distances set in the EA, and its lot size is calculated from your risk per trade at the moment you press. There is no lot field to type into and no number to get wrong in a hurry.
What stays locked while you scalp
Fast entries are exactly where traders overtrade, size up after a loss and keep going after the day should be over. So FastScalp doesn't get a shortcut around your rules:
- Risk per trade: the lot size comes from it on every trade, rounded down and capped by your balance.
- Daily loss limit and profit target: when either is reached, your trades are closed and new ones are blocked until the next day.
- Daily trade limit: once it is used up, B and S stop opening trades.
- Pause after each trade: if you set one, the next trade waits after every close.
These rules are locked into your licence. You can make them stricter at any time; any other change waits 24 hours and is allowed once a month. Even whether FastScalp is allowed at all is one of the rules you choose.
The scalping math nobody shows you
On short stops, trading costs become a large part of every loss. Suppose EURUSD has a 0.8-pip spread and your broker charges $7 per lot round trip, which is about 0.7 pips more. That is roughly 1.5 pips of cost on every trade:
| Stop | Cost as a share of your risk |
|---|---|
| 5 pips | about 30% |
| 10 pips | about 15% |
| 20 pips | about 7.5% |
With a 5-pip stop, almost a third of every loss is cost, and a strategy needs a much higher win rate just to break even. Before you scalp a symbol, check its typical spread and your commission against the stops you plan to use, and size from your real risk. The lot size guide explains the sizing math, and the 1% rule explains why the risk per trade should stay small.
When not to scalp
- Around high-impact news. Spreads widen and slippage can push a loss well past your stop.
- After two losses in a row. That's when a quick third trade turns into revenge trading. The pause after each trade is there for exactly this moment.
- In thin markets. Late sessions and holidays often have wider spreads, which hurts short stops most.

Common questions
Is FastScalp a scalping robot?
No. FastScalp never decides anything. You choose every entry and every exit; it only makes placing and closing trades faster from the keyboard, with the lot size calculated for you.
Do my money-management rules still apply when I scalp?
Yes. Every FastScalp trade is sized from your risk per trade and capped by your balance, counts toward your daily trade limit, and respects your pause after each trade. When your daily loss limit or profit target is reached, trading stops for the day.
Can I use FastScalp with the M5-close entry rule?
No. The M5-close rule makes you wait for a candle to close, which is the opposite of instant entries, so the two can't be on at the same time. You choose one of them when you set your rules.
Does FastScalp work on gold and indices?
Yes, on any MetaTrader 5 symbol, with the lot size always calculated from your risk. The default stop and target distances are set in pips in the EA settings, so on gold and indices check the distances on your first trades and adjust them to the symbol.
Can I practise scalping with FastScalp in the Strategy Tester?
Yes. FastScalp works in the Strategy Tester's Visual mode with your licence or the 3-day free trial, so you can practise fast entries on historical data at any speed.
