Night Hunter Pro MT5 Version

How Night Hunter Pro Works

Night Hunter Pro is an advanced, automated Expert Advisor (EA) designed specifically for night scalping during periods of low market volatility. Rather than attempting to trade in all market conditions or utilizing dangerous recovery strategies like Martingale or grid averaging, it focuses on strict rules-based execution.

• Core Strategy: It targets the quiet hours of the night session (typically around the New York close and Asian open) when liquidity thins out and prices tend to mean-revert within tight ranges.
• Risk Control: Every single trade is protected by a defined Stop Loss, and the system completely avoids compounding exposed losing positions (no Martingale/Grid).
• Built-in Filters: To prevent unexpected losses, it includes advanced safety mechanisms such as:
• News Filter: Pauses trading before and after high-impact economic releases.
• Rollover & Swap Filters: Avoids high-spread rollover windows and negative overnight swap conditions.
• Holiday Filters: Skips low-liquidity periods during Christmas and New Year.
