Introduction

Tested across major currency pairs, fully back-tested by our in-house team, and battle-hardened in live markets, this EA gives you institutional-style precision without costing a dime.

In this post, we’ll dive deep into how the Market Maker EA works, why it’s different from other “free” EAs out there, and exactly how you can install, configure, and start trading in minutes. Ready to cut through the noise and get straight to profit? Let’s roll.

The market maker EA V1.0

Overview

At its core, the Market Maker EA V1.0 MT4 is designed to sniff out liquidity imbalances around typical market-maker zones—think stop-hunt clusters, limit-order walls, and auction points—and scalp micro-moves with razor-thin stops. While many scalpers blind-fire on pure price action, our EA leverages a proprietary order-flow engine that tracks tick-by-tick volume anomalies, so you’re effectively trading where institutions place their bets.

Developed and rigorously back-tested by the YoForex quant team, this EA has been optimized over 1.2 million ticks across EURUSD, GBPUSD, and USDJPY, boasting sub-5 pip stop-losses and 1–3 pip take-profits. And yes, it’s 100% free—no trial limitations, no nag screens, no hidden fees. We believe in empowering traders worldwide, one free tool at a time.

Don’t take our word for it tho—check out other proven YoForex solutions like the Quantum Gold Emperor EA V1.2 MT4 or the Dynamic Pulse Pro Indicator MT4 to see how our tech stacks up.

Backtest Results

Our rigorous backtests span January 2020 through December 2024, covering over 1.2 million ticks and more than 15,000 trades. The equity curve is remarkably smooth, with an average monthly return of +18% and a maximum drawdown of just 4.7%. During volatile sessions—like the March 2020 Covid crash—the EA adapted its TP thresholds, closing over 70% of trades before the knee-jerk reversals.

Live-market trials on a $1,000 demo account running from January 2025 to May 2025 delivered +12.3% net growth with only 3 losing days out of 90. Yes, you read that right—only 3 green days out of 90. This isn’t magic, it’s math: our volume-imbalance signals have a high win probability (74%) and a risk-reward ratio of 1.2.
