Weekend Trader Forex Robot FREE Download

Weekend Trader EA is a free MetaTrader 4 (MT4) forex robot that places one trade per week on USDJPY and GBPJPY, entering late on Friday and holding through the weekend until a fixed take profit or stop loss is reached.

That account shows 770.76% growth. We covered this robot when it launched and captured the signal page in November 2023, so we can show the record is one continuous account rather than a number that appeared later. A headline like that still needs testing rather than repeating, so we tested it: the vendor’s own settings, both pairs, the full three years in MT4, then our month-by-month result lined up against the live one. Free download at the bottom of this 2026 review.

TL;DR – Free MT4 robot that buys USDJPY and GBPJPY once a week and holds for days. Our own 3-year test turned $100 into $776.76 and tracked the live account to within 2.6%, which is unusually strong corroboration. It also has never taken a short trade, and 86% of the profit came from 19 days.

What is the Weekend Trader EA?

Weekend Trader EA is a free MetaTrader 4 robot that opens a single buy on USDJPY and GBPJPY late each Friday, attaches a fixed take profit and stop loss in points, and then leaves the position alone until one of them is hit. It uses no grid, no martingale and no averaging, and it trades the same way every week regardless of what the chart is doing.

Core Strategy and Logic

We read the order log from both runs rather than the summary page. The rule the EA follows is simpler than the sales copy suggests.

• One entry per pair per week, at a fixed clock time – 158 of 159 entries on each pair landed on a Friday at 20:59 server time. The one exception is the position the tester seeds at the start of the run.
• It only buys – Across 318 backtest trades on two pairs over three years, there was not a single sell. The live account matches at 300 buys out of 301.
• Fixed targets, set one moment after entry – The EA sends a market buy with no levels, then modifies it in the same minute to attach the stop and target. USDJPY runs 190 points each way, GBPJPY 160 up against 90 down.
• Fixed lots, never scaled – Every one of the 318 trades was 0.01 lots. Nothing was added to a loser and nothing doubled after one, so the no-martingale claim holds.
• Positions stack by the calendar – A new Friday buy opens whether or not last week’s is still running. We saw up to 5 concurrent USDJPY longs and 3 GBPJPY, 8 at once on 29 August 2025.

The “weekend” framing describes when it enters, not how long it stays. Average holding time was 10.3 days on USDJPY and 4.5 on GBPJPY, 45% of USDJPY trades ran past a full week, and something was open 83.4% of all hours in the test. The live signal page reports trading activity of 83.71%, which is the same number arrived at independently. Structurally this sits closer to a slow position system than to the weekend gap robot we reviewed earlier, and it is the opposite of a basket system like the Quantum Queen gold grid in how exposure builds.

Please test in a demo account first for at least a week. Also, please familiarize yourself with and understand how Weekend Trader Robot works, then only use it in a real account.

Recommendations for this Forex Robot

• Minimum deposit – $100 works at 1:500 and does not at 1:100. Peak exposure in our test was 8 open positions, which needs about $18 of margin at 1:500 and about $90 at 1:100. Check yours on the margin calculator first.
• Pairs and timeframe – USDJPY and GBPJPY on M1, with the pair-specific targets above. Nothing else has been proven by either record.
• Account type – low spread ECN. Our run used a fixed 2-point spread, which is tight for yen pairs, so a wide-spread account will not reproduce these numbers.
• Do not use a swapn class="fc-gloss-tip" data-slug="islamic-account" tabindex="0">swap-free account. Roughly $78 of USDJPY’s $439.78 net profit was positive overnight interest, about 18% of the result. A no-swap account removes it. Price your own broker’s rate on the swap calculator.
• VPS. Positions run for days and the stop is attached a moment after entry, so a terminal that is not running on Friday evening simply skips that week (FXVM).
• Size the full 8-position stack with the lot size optimizer (Find the Perfect Broker For You Here).

Performance Review: Live Signal and Our Own MT4 Backtest

1. The record is older than the signal page admits

MQL5’s sidebar gives this signal a start date of 20 November 2025, and the equity and drawdown panels only draw from there. Taken alone, that would put almost the whole record down as history imported after the fact.

It is not. We captured this signal in November 2023 for the original version of this page, and the two captures are the same account: the same ICMarketsSC-Live05 server at 1:500, the same $100.01 initial deposit, the same best trade of $15.23, and a 2023 monthly row reading 87.32, 30.25 and 17.47 that the page still prints unchanged today. The 2023 capture also carries tick-level equity, deposit-load and drawdown charts running from 15 August 2023, which MQL5 only draws for an account it is actively monitoring.

So the track record is real and has been public since August 2023. What changed is the listing, not the account. The monthly table has a hole where July and August 2025 should be, about 9 weeks, and our own runs made exactly 9 more trades per pair than the live account did. Something was reset or relisted in that stretch, and the broker, deposit and trade history either side of it are continuous.

The growth figure is a separate problem, and it is arithmetic rather than doubt. The account took $100.01 to start, added $200.39 and paid out $300.00, and MQL5’s growth calculation treats withdrawals as if the money had kept compounding. The number that survives is the profit: $682.89 earned on $300.40 of deposits over three years. Good, but not 771%.

A verified account still only proves the trades happened. Whether the rule behind them is what the listing describes is a different question, and for that we had to run it ourselves.

2. Our own test reproduces the live account month by month

We ran the EA on a Tickmill demo, MT4 build 1473, every-tick model, 1 August 2023 to 12 August 2026, fixed 0.01 lots on $100 per pair, using the vendor’s published targets, then lined our monthly profit up against the live account’s.

The two curves agree at a correlation of 0.989 across the 35 months both records cover, with the same sign in all 35. Every winning month is a winning month in our run and every losing month is a losing month, including the four biggest ones: July 2024, January 2025, April 2025 and April 2026. Total profit over those months came out at $665.16 against the account’s $682.89, a gap of 2.6%.

The per-pair split lines up too. The live account made about $460 on USDJPY and $230 on GBPJPY; ours made $439.78 and $236.77. The only symbol outside those two on the live account is a single NOKJPY trade that lost about $7.

That agreement also settles something the signal page makes look worse than it is. Yearly growth there falls from 171.96% to 102.62%, then 23.59% and 27.85%, which reads like an edge wearing out. In dollars at a lotan class="fc-gloss-tip" data-slug="lot-size" tabindex="0">lot size that never changes, our test says otherwise: $139 in the last five months of 2023, $257 in 2024, $118 in 2025 and $163 to 12 August 2026. Only 2025 was genuinely weak. The rest of that decline is the balance compounding underneath a fixed 0.01 lot.

One caveat on the method. MT4 reported 25% modelling quality, because the test ran on M1 data with nothing finer beneath it, and that would sink a scalper’s result. For a system that enters at a fixed clock time and exits days later at a level set in advance, entry-tick precision matters far less, and agreement with a real IC Markets account is the practical answer to it. A match this close still only shows the EA behaves the same way on both accounts, not that the rule keeps working, as our guide to backtesting an EA properly explains.

3. Nineteen days did most of the work

MQL5 prints a warning on the signal page that 80% of the growth arrived in 19 days out of 1,104. Our run says the same thing from its own data: 19 of the 242 days that closed a trade produced 86% of the net profit. Take the 124 up days on their own and they come to 284% of net; the 118 down days hand back 184% of it.

That is what owning this looks like. The curve rises for three years, but almost all of it lands on days you cannot pick in advance, and everything between is noise you sit through without switching the EA off.

4. It has only ever bought

Three years, two pairs, 318 trades, zero shorts. USDJPY and GBPJPY are also the same bet wearing two hats, since both are long a currency funded by a cheap yen, and the test window was a long yen bear market. That is the weather this rule likes.

The counter-example is inside the data. When the carry trade unwound in July 2024, our combined account lost $95.17 in 30 days from 11 July and needed until October to make it back. April 2025 was worse in a single month, at -$76.92 live against -$74.98 in our run. Deepest drawdown on our USDJPY leg was 33.96%, against 33.16% on the live account.

At peak exposure, 5 USDJPY longs and 3 GBPJPY longs open together, every stop hitting at once would cost about $77 on a $100 account. That has not happened in three years, and it is the number to size against rather than the average trade. Model your own deposit on the drawdown calculator first.

For comparison, the USDJPY Safe EA trades intraday on the same pair and Pound Yen Trader covers GBPJPY on M15, neither on a weekly clock and neither with a three-year account behind it.

Pros

• Our 3-year test reproduced the live account's monthly profit at a 0.989 correlation, with the same sign in all 35 months both records cover
• Every position carried a hard stop loss and every trade in 318 was 0.01 lots, so the no-martingale and no-grid claims are true in the order log
• Margin load stays tiny, 2.73% on the live account, which is why a $100 deposit is workable at 1:500
• Entries are a fixed weekly rule rather than a discretionary filter, so behaviour is easy to predict and easy to test

Cons

• All 318 backtest entries and 300 of 301 live trades were buys, so a sustained yen rally has never been tested
• 86% of our net profit came from 19 of 242 trading days, and MQL5 flags the same concentration on the live account
• Deepest drawdown was 33.96% on our USDJPY run and 33.16% live, on an account that looks calm most of the time
• The signal was reset at some point, so the page now dates itself to November 2025, and the monthly record has a hole where July and August 2025 should be
• USDJPY and GBPJPY are both long-yen-funded positions, so this is one bet held twice, not two strategies

Summary

3.2

★★★☆☆

The live account is real, we have captures of it going back to 2023, and our own MT4 run over the same three years matched it month for month including every losing month. What you are buying into is a one-directional bet on yen weakness, with a 33% drawdown and long dead stretches between the days that pay.

Who this EA is for, and who it is not for

This EA is for you if:

• You want a slow, rule-based system you can leave alone for months.
• You have 1:500 leverage and can sit through a 33% drawdown untouched.
• You accept that the edge is a directional view on the yen.

This EA is NOT for you if:

• You want frequent trades or visible weekly progress. Most weeks decide nothing.
• You are on a prop firm challenge. Eight stacked longs and a 33% drawdown do not fit a daily loss limit.
• Your broker is swap-free or has wide yen spreads. Both remove a real part of the return.

Conclusion of Weekend Trader EA

The Weekend Trader forex robot does something most free downloads cannot: it survives an independent check. Our three-year MT4 run matched the live account’s monthly profit at a 0.989 correlation and landed within 2.6% of its total, losing money in the same months it did. However, that record is one long bet on yen weakness held on two pairs that move together, it paid out on 19 days out of 242, and it drew down 33% along the way.
