FoundLuxWhat it is built for
- Trend phases with regular pullbacks
- Markets with changing volatility — that is where the ATR stop shows its strength
- If you want to trade rarely but more deliberately

Scout Engine Multi-timeframe
The Scout Engine looks at three timeframes at once: the trading level for the entry, a middle one for the tendency and a high one for the trend. It only enters when all three agree. The stop follows the measured volatility instead of a fixed percentage.

How it works
The three levels
If you choose 5 minutes as the trading level, the bot also checks 1 hour and 4 hours. With 15 minutes it becomes 2 and 8 hours. The mapping is fixed.
The stop
Instead of a fixed percentage the bot takes the actual volatility (ATR) times a factor, limited to 0.1 to 1.5 % of the price. Volatile market means a wider stop, calm market a tighter one.
The exit
At the target a trailing stop is activated instead of closing right away. In addition, the stop moves to the entry as soon as the position is far enough in profit.
What you set
| Setting | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Trading timeframe | 5m, 15m, 30m or 1h — the higher levels follow from it |
| ATR factor | How many volatility ranges away the stop is |
| Target ratio | How far the target is in relation to the stop |
| Trailing target | Whether it closes at the target or trails |
| Break-even | From when the stop moves to the entry |
Everything through forms — no code. Backtest and the Top 50 optimizer run at the push of a button.
When it does not work
- Timeframes that keep disagreeing. If the levels contradict each other all the time, hardly any entries come about. The bot then does nothing for weeks — that is intended, but it feels wrong.
- Very calm markets. If the ATR stop is pushed down to the minimum of 0.1 %, ordinary noise is enough to stop it out.
- News-driven jumps. A gap in the price skips the stop — it then closes at the next tradable price, not at the planned one.
No bot always wins. Each of the eight has market phases in which it loses — that is why the box on the right is on this page at all. That is exactly what the demo account is for: let it run until you have seen a bad phase, not just a good one.
