INTRODUCTION

Whether you’re new to automated trading or a seasoned pro, you’ve probably felt the pinch of pricey subscriptions and half-baked robots that promise the moon but deliver peanuts, right? Tired of overpriced tools that barely scrape a profit, tho? Good news—Astro Scalper EA v1.0 MT4 is here, and it’s totally free. Yep, you heard that right…free. Developed and rigorously back-tested by the YoForex team, this little powerhouse is built to hunt down those tiny, quick wins on your MetaTrader 4 charts, without the fancy bells and whistles that usually jack up the price. In this blog, we’ll dive deep into what makes Astro Scalper EA tick, how it performed in our tests, and why you should snag it ASAP from MQL5.software. Stick around—coz by the end you’ll know exactly how to get it running and start scalping like a pro.

Overview

Astro Scalper EA v1.0 MT4 is a streamlined Expert Advisor designed specifically for fast in-and-out trades on major currency pairs—think EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY and more. Instead of waiting for massive market moves, it seeks profit in small price fluctuations, aiming for consistent 5–15 pip gains per trade. Built with the MQL4 language, it plugs straight into your MT4 platform and runs 24/7, scanning the market for predefined technical signals.

At its core, Astro Scalper EA uses a combination of moving average crossovers, volatility filters, and support/resistance levels to trigger entries and exits. This multi-layered approach helps weed out false signals and keeps drawdowns low. Unlike many EAs that lean on risky martingale strategies and ballooning lot sizes, our EA maintains fixed lot sizing and dynamic stop-loss/take-profit levels, so you don’t get caught in a margin call spiral.

Backtest Results
We ran Astro Scalper EA through an intensive six-month backtest on EURUSD (January–June 2024) with 99% tick data on MT4’s built-in strategy tester. Sample size? Over 3,500 trades. Results were impressive: a net profit of +22% on an initial $1,000, max drawdown of just 3.8%, and a win rate of 68%. The equity curve showed steady gains with few deep dips—exactly what you want from a scalper that’s designed to pick off small, reliable moves.

But hey, backtests can be tweaked to look good; we get that. That’s why we also ran Astro Scalper EA in a live market demo from July 1 to September 30, 2024. Over those three months, it logged 1,200 real-time trades, netting +18% profit with a 65% win rate and max drawdown of 4.2%. These figures line up closely with our backtest, so you know the EA isn’t just curve-fitting a past dataset—it performs in real market conditions, too.
