I want a fully-automated bot that scalps option contracts inside MetaTrader. The goal is to capture very small, fast price moves and repeat the process dozens of times a session, so execution speed and precise order handling are critical. Key details • Market: exchange-listed equity options. The bot should recognise contract symbols, expiry, strike and in-the-money status automatically. • Strategy: pure scalping. I need configurable take-profit and stop-loss levels (in ticks or dollars), a maximum holding time, and the ability to throttle the number of simultaneous positions. • Platform: MetaTrader bridge or plug-in. I am currently on MT5, but clean, version-agnostic code is welcome as long as setup is straightforward. • Risk controls: daily loss cap, max lot size, and automatic trading halt once either the profit target or loss limit is reached. • Reporting: real-time on-screen P&L plus a CSV log of every fill, modification and close. End-of-day summary emailed automatically would be a plus. • Testing: please include a back-test on at least three recent months of tick data and a short forward demo to confirm slippage handling. Deliverables 1. Source code with clear inline comments 2. Step-by-step installation and configuration guide 3. Sample settings file showing all adjustable parameters 4. Back-test report and demo trade log I will consider the job complete once the bot installs on my MetaTrader, places and manages live option scalp trades exactly as specified, and the logs match the strategy rules without manual intervention.
