About This EA

BF Scalper EA (also called "Best Free Scalper EA") is a FREE Expert Advisor by Lachezar Krastev — the developer behind FXautomater products including Forex Diamond, Forex Gold Investor, and Forex Combo System. As the name implies, this is the developer's flagship free EA, published on MQL5 at product #28919. It uses Bollinger Bands breakout signals to enter trades during the Asian session (approximately 21–22 GMT), making it a true night scalper.

BF Scalper works on 9 currency pairs: EURUSD, GBPUSD, GBPCAD, USDCAD, USDJPY, EURCHF, USDCHF, EURAUD, and EURCAD, running on the M1 timeframe. Key protective features include a high-spread protection mechanism, a Stealth Mode option that hides stop-loss and take-profit levels from the broker, a Recovery Mode for drawdown situations, rollover and swap filters, and an optional trend filter using moving averages. A paid "BF Scalper PRO" version is available separately with additional features.

Best & Worst Conditions

Best Conditions

Low-volatility Asian session on pairs like GBPCAD, GBPUSD, and USDJPY with tight, stable spreads. Normal pre-London market conditions where Bollinger Band squeezes resolve with a breakout in one direction. ECN brokers with spreads below 1–2 pips on target pairs.

Worst Conditions

Asian session surprises (BOJ interventions, RBA/RBNZ surprises, geopolitical shock) that cause large multi-pair moves against Bollinger Band breakout direction. High broker spreads overnight that trigger the spread protection filter and reduce trade frequency. Recovery Mode can compound losses if misused during strong trending markets.

Risk Warning

  • This is a FREE community-shared file — the official version is also FREE on MQL5 (#28919). Always download from official sources.
  • Night scalping is extremely broker-sensitive — broker choice is critical. Spreads even 1 pip wider than expected can make the strategy unprofitable.
  • Recovery Mode can increase lot sizes during drawdown — use with strict drawdown limits to prevent account blow-up in trending markets.
  • No official Myfxbook monitoring or live performance verification is publicly available for this EA.
  • Always test on demo for at least 4–6 weeks before live use, specifically on the intended broker and pair.
