HFT Pro is a High Frequency Trading Expert Advisor originally designed to help traders pass the evaluation stage of prop firms that allow the use of HFT.

The expert uses a complex function of pending order for accurate market execution aiming for a consistent equity growth with low drawdown. Its core direction following logic capitalizes on simple price movements. HTP Pro provides clients a choice from three different frequency levels/modes of function to enter and manage trades. Additionally, its default strategy utilizes tight stop losses to minimize risk exposure with a highly optimised trailing stop function that ensures each trade is managed with precision. The combination of advanced order management and risk control plays a key role in achieving consistent equity growth. High Frequency Trade strategies like the ones in this expert are known to not work well with retail live accounts due to slippage and other restrictions from brokers, for this reason the expert is best to be used with brokers/account types known to allow HFT strategies.
