Market Fighter EA product shot
Product shot by Forex Store — marketing material, not evidence of performance.

Market Fighter by Forex Store is a free grid EA on EURUSD, USDJPY and USDCHF — and one of the few free EAs with a published live account: +31.4% in 260 days at ATS, $200 withdrawn. The price lies in the risk (25.4% max floating loss) and in a DLL file you have to allow in the terminal.

  • +31.4% in 260 days live, PF 2.03, $200 withdrawn
  • Optional drawdown control closes everything at an equity threshold; RiskLimit per number of pairs
  • Stochastic plus MA filter: grid starts not against strong trends
  • 25.4% max floating loss on the live account — an expensive risk for a free EA
  • Requires a vendor DLL library and the terminal permission “allow DLL imports”
  • Grid with add-ons: a trend on USDJPY or USDCHF drags every open session along
  • The funded account shows how much of the live return depends on position size: +3.4% in 233 days

How the strategy trades

A schematic simulation of the strategy type we assign Market Fighter EA to — not a replica of this EA and not real price data.

Realised

How it works

  1. As with the grid, a position is added every 20 pips – but with a ×2 multiplier: 0.10 → 0.20 → 0.40 → 0.80 lots.
  2. The big positions drag the average down, close to the lowest entry.
  3. That is why a small bounce is already enough to profit. The catch: volume doubles at every level and the floating loss grows even faster – one level too many, and a single basket wipes out the gains of many before it.

What we check

What we check on real martingale EAs: the multiplier, the maximum number of levels and the volume at the last level relative to the account. A smooth equity curve is not a quality signal here.

Demonstration values: a simulated EURUSD path with 0.10 lots and $10,000 starting capital, deliberately favourable – every basket and every trend works out here. Not a real trading strategy, not a backtest and not investment advice.

Verified live / funded accounts

Real accounts AlgoTradingSpace publicly links for this EA (Myfxbook-fed). Max floating loss is the most honest risk figure — how deep open positions ran into the red at their worst.

What Market Fighter Is

Market Fighter by vendor Forex Store is a free grid EA for EURUSD, USDJPY and USDCHF on H1. It opens the first position when the stochastic oscillator reports overbought or oversold and the direction agrees with the moving average; if the market runs against it, it adds in fixed lot steps and closes the basket together once price returns. Several sessions run independently. AlgoTradingSpace offers it for free (ATS product page) and lists it as martingale and scalper.

The Live Data

ATS runs Market Fighter on two of its own accounts (as of 30.09.2026):

  • Live, BlackBull ($1,000): +31.4% in 260 days, +3.4% a month on average, profit factor 2.03 on 98 trades, max floating loss -25.4%, $200 withdrawn.
  • Funded, iFunds: +3.4% in 233 days, PF 1.98, max floating loss -3.1%.

The two accounts show the grid principle in two doses: set small, it is calm and nearly returnless; set larger, it earns decently — with a quarter of the account as a temporary open loss.

Strategy & Risk

Per our methodology the worst measured figure (25.4%) gives a strategy risk of 3.2. The entry filter keeps the EA away from strong counter-trends, but a grid on two dollar pairs with a yen and a franc side hangs on the same rate and risk sentiment. The optional drawdown control is sensible — if you use the EA, switch it on.

One point that often gets missed with free EAs: Market Fighter needs a DLL library from the vendor, and the terminal must allow DLL imports. A DLL can do more than a normal EA — read files, open network connections. That is common with established vendors, but it is an advance of trust. Hence 3.8 rather than 4.2 for transparency. If you run several EAs on one terminal, isolate Market Fighter in its own installation (portable mode).

Who It Is (Not) For

Suitable for beginners who want to get to know a grid system on a small live account without a purchase price — with drawdown control switched on and at least the $500–1,000 the vendor names.

Not suitable for prop accounts, for terminals that should not run DLLs, and for anyone who confuses “free” with “risk-free”.

Verdict

3.9/5: unusually well evidenced for a free EA, with real live return and withdrawals. The deductions come from the grid risk (25% floating loss) and the DLL requirement.

Frequently asked questions

Which markets does Market Fighter EA trade?

EURUSD, USDCHF, USDJPY. Several instruments only spread risk while they do not share a driver — correlated pairs go down together when it matters.

Which platform does Market Fighter EA run on?

MT4/MT5. Continuous operation needs a VPS, because a sleeping machine leaves open positions unattended: VPS providers compared.

What does Market Fighter EA cost?

Free (as of our last check). We take prices from the vendor, ATS or MQL5 product page, not from marketing copy — that often quotes different figures than the buy button.

Does Market Fighter EA use grid or martingale?

Yes — the design is Grid + Trend-Following. That means further orders are added when price runs against an open position, and there is usually no hard per-trade stop-loss. Such systems stay quiet for a long time and then take the loss all at once. How that works and how to spot the dangerous variant is in our guide to grid and martingale EAs.

Is Market Fighter EA any good?

Our grade: 3.9 out of 5, traffic light green — usable. It comes from six criteria, weighted most heavily towards the verified live track record and strategy risk. We rate from real accounts, not vendor backtests, and no EA vendor pays for ratings — the weighting is public in our methodology.

Is there a verified live track for Market Fighter EA?

Yes. Published live accounts exist, the longest running 279 days. The figures in this review come from those accounts, not from vendor backtests.
