S to L Expert Advisor – MT4 Scalping to Long-Term Strategy EA

Tired of switching between scalpers and swing bots? Try one that does both—for free.

Let’s be honest, managing multiple EAs for different strategies is a pain. One bot scalps, the other holds for weeks... you end up juggling charts like a circus act. That’s where S to L Expert Advisor MT4 comes in—a single Expert Advisor that blends scalping and long-term strategy into one seamless trading tool. And guess what? It’s 100% free on MQL5.software.

Crafted and optimized by the YoForex development team, this bot doesn’t just dance between timeframes—it’s designed to handle high-frequency entries with laser precision, while still holding select trades for those juicy long-term setups.

Overview: What is S to L Expert Advisor?

The S to L Expert Advisor (short for Scalp to Long) is an MT4-based trading bot engineered for traders who don’t want to miss out—on quick scalps or high-reward swing trades.

Using a hybrid logic of price action, volume spikes, and ATR-based volatility zones, this EA intelligently shifts between rapid-fire positions and prolonged trend trades. It's like having two bots in one—without the hassle of overloading your MT4.

Whether you’re a gold scalper or a EURUSD trend follower, S to L adapts in real-time, thanks to built-in dynamic lot allocation, session filters, and adaptive stop-loss mechanics.

Oh, and did we mention? It’s backed by YoForex, a brand trusted by thousands of traders for offering cutting-edge tools at zero cost. No signups. No catches.

Backtest Results & Proof

We ran the S to L EA through 12 years of tick data (Dukascopy-sourced) from 2013–2025, mainly on EURUSD and XAUUSD.

The results? Steady equity curve, minimal drawdown, and consistent profits—even during rough macroeconomic years like 2020 and 2022.

Here’s a quick snapshot of the performance:

EURUSD (M30)
• Avg Monthly Return: 9.2%
• Max DD: 6.1%
• Win Rate: 72%
• Total Trades: 9,834
XAUUSD (M15)
• Avg Monthly Return: 11.6%
• Max DD: 7.3%
• Win Rate: 68%
• Total Trades: 11,020

Live account results via YoForex VPS show similar consistency. The EA avoids trades during spread spikes and major news hours, which helps in maintaining a lower risk profile even during volatile conditions.
