Scalpers HFT
General Information
The Scalpers HFT trigger is designed to detect high-frequency trading (HFT) scalping activities in real-time. Unlike standard trading strategies where positions are held for extended periods, scalping involves opening and closing multiple trades within seconds to capture small price movements (pips).
📌 Key Features:
✅ Real-time detection of scalping patterns
✅ Threshold-based monitoring to prevent false positives
✅ Customizable filters for accounts, groups, and session PnL

Trigger Logic 🔎
The Scalpers HFT trigger continuously monitors all executed trades within the current session to detect HFT activity.
Detection Criteria:
1️⃣ Short-Lived Trades: If a trade’s lifetime is below the set threshold (seconds), it is flagged.
2️ ⃣ High Trade Count: The trigger counts the number of flagged trades and compares it to the required threshold.
3️⃣ Total Profit Check (if enabled): If enabled, the trigger verifies whether the total profit of flagged trades exceeds the defined USD threshold.
4️⃣ Total Realized PnL Check (if enabled): The trigger only reacts to accounts where the Total Realized PnL exceeds the threshold.
5️⃣ Session Profit Check (if enabled): The trigger will only react to accounts that are profitable in the current session. Accounts with negative session profits are ignored.
How Notifications Are Triggered 🚨
🔹Number of HFT Deals and Interval (sec) conditions should be fullfulled simultaneously in order for the trigger to generate a notification.
🔹 If multiple criteria are enabled, the notification is sent when all conditions are fulfilled.
🔹 The notification includes the account details and a list of transaction IDs flagged as scalping trades.
