The ultimate MT5 scalping tool. You stay in control.

Yes. No purchase, no subscription, no paid tier. The condition is that you trade it on an Axi MT5 swap-free live account under our introducing-broker code.

Overnight swap charges distort the economics a scalping tool depends on, and a recovery basket held across rollover can bleed on swap alone even while the trades themselves are fine. Choose MT5 Swap-Free when you sign up. If you've already opened a standard account, contact Axi — in most cases you'll need to open a separate swap-free one, which is why we flag it before you start.

Right now we only give it out to Axi clients under our IB — that's what pays for it being free. Support for other brokers is planned, and existing users will get that update free, but we're not going to give you a date we can't keep.

Not if it's already MT5 swap-free — just ask Axi support to transfer it to IB code 4743869, then submit the form. If it isn't swap-free, you'll need to open one that is.

Just message us on Telegram with the new account number, or submit the form again. As long as the new account is under our IB you keep using Lahoog exactly as before — no charge, no limit, nothing to reinstall.

We recommend $100 as a minimum. It'll technically run on less, but position sizing has so little room that a normal losing sequence hurts more than it should.

Not required — it runs fine on your own computer, as long as that computer stays on and connected. We do recommend one, specifically New York 3, because it sits closest to the trade servers and latency matters more for scalping than for anything else. There's a setup guide in the docs.

All of them. There's no symbol whitelist and no forced trading window — you decide what to run it on and when.

Not by default, but it can. Lot sizing ships fixed — every grid level the same size — and the averaging ladder ships off. Switch on multiplier lot scaling or the averaging ladder and you have a martingale in all but name. Both are there because some traders want them. Read Risk & Recovery before you touch either.

Yes, it's a grid, and no — not individually by default. Each basket holds multiple positions and closes as a group on a profit target, a trailing lock, or a drawdown stop. If you want a broker-side SL on every leg as well, there's an option that pushes the drawdown level to the server as a real stop. Worth turning on if you're worried about your terminal dying mid-basket.

Potentially the whole balance. A grid basket in a sustained one-directional trend keeps adding exposure while price keeps moving, and there's a point at which the account can't support it. The drawdown stop and the account-level stop exist precisely for that; keep them armed and set them at a number you can live with.

Lahoog runs a BUY basket and a SELL basket simultaneously on the same pair. That's only possible on a hedging account — on a netting account the two would cancel each other out. Lahoog checks at startup and refuses to run if the account is netting.

Our favourite feature. Lahoog adopts trades you opened by hand and manages them with the same exits it uses for its own baskets — target, trail, breakeven floor, drawdown stop. You keep making the entry decisions; it handles the babysitting.

You create your own bot through @BotFather — free, takes two minutes — and paste the token and your chat ID into Lahoog's inputs. After that you can check status, switch modes, move targets, arm the trail, close a side or close every loser from your phone. Only your chat ID is whitelisted, so nobody else can command it.

You shouldn't. Smooth Stop lets you wind down cleanly, CLOSE ALL is one button or one Telegram message, and the watchdog pings you if the connection or AutoTrading drops. A grid is not a set-and-forget system — treat anything claiming otherwise with suspicion.

No. The entry logic and the tuning stay private. What we do publish is exactly how the exposure builds and how it's capped — the part that affects your account.
