Introduction

Ever wished you could trade like Cristiano Ronaldo scores goals—precise, timely, and ruthless? Meet CR7 EA V3.0 MT4, a free Expert Advisor designed to scalp currency pairs with the same relentless efficiency. Crafted by YoForex’s dev squad, CR7 EA borrows its name from football’s greatest to hint at its aggressive yet calculated approach: wait for the perfect setup, then strike. No fancy gimmicks—just clean, well-tested code that hunts small profits on M15 charts.

If you’re tired of EAs that overpromise and underdeliver (coz who isn’t?), CR7 EA V3.0 MT4 might be the answer. It’s been backtested across multiple pairs, live-market verified by YoForex, and—best of all—available 100% free on MQL5.software. So whether you’re a rookie trader or a seasoned pro, this EA’s ready to take you to the Champions League of algorithmic scalping. Read on to see why CR7 EA is a game-changer.

Overview

CR7 EA V3.0 MT4 focuses on short-term price spikes—think of it as a striker waiting on the perfect through-ball. Operating on M15 charts, it mainly targets EURUSD, GBPUSD, and USDJPY during peak volatility (London/New York overlaps). The strategy hinges on two core modules: a momentum detector (inspired by pro footballer’s sprint timing) and a consolidation filter (patience like a veteran striker).

  1. Momentum Detector: CR7 EA scans for sudden price surges—usually a 20+ pip move within 3 bars. Once the spike is detected, the EA waits for a brief pullback into a tight consolidation range (no more than 8 pips).

  2. Consolidation Filter: This filter ensures the pullback doesn’t devolve into sideways choppiness. If price stays within the 8-pip zone for two bars, CR7 EA triggers entry in the direction of the original spike.

Stop-loss is set just outside the consolidation range, while take-profit aims for a 1.5:1 reward-to-risk ratio. Plus, dynamic lot sizing (“Auto_Lots” parameter) lets the EA adjust position size relative to equity, so it grows with your account. There’s no martingale, no grid—just straightforward scalping.

Because YoForex live-tested CR7 EA on a real account from January to May 2025, you can trade it confidently. And since it’s totally free on MQL5.software, you can jump right in—no subscription, no trial.

Strategy Details

CR7 EA V3.0 MT4’s secret sauce lies in its momentum + consolidation combo—just like a striker timing a perfect run. Here’s a deeper dive:

  1. Momentum Scan (H1–H2): The EA constantly monitors incoming tick data and calculates the pip range over the last three M15 bars. If it sees a 20-pip surge (configurable via Min_Momentum_Pips), it flags that as a valid trigger.

  2. Pullback Detection (H3–H4): After the trigger, the EA waits for price to retrace back into an 8-pip zone (configurable via Max_Consolidation_Range). If price remains within that range for at least two consecutive bars, CR7 EA deems conditions optimal.

  3. Entry Logic (H5): Once consolidation is confirmed, the EA places a buy/sell order in the direction of the initial spike. Stop-loss is placed just outside the consolidation range (5 pips beyond), while take-profit uses ATR(14) * 1.5 multiplier for a dynamic R:R.

  4. Filters (H6–H7):

  • Spread Check: Ensures spread < Max_Spread (default 2.0 pips) before entering.
  • Slippage Tolerance: If slippage > Max_Slippage, skip trade.
  • Session Filter: Trades only between 07:00–17:00 server time (London/New York).
  • News Filter: Checks economic calendar; skips trade 15 minutes before and after high-impact events.

This approach prevents the EA from “chasing dead balls” during quiet times and focuses only on high-probability setups—just like a pro who waits for the perfect pass.
