On May 9, 2025, my three new MetaTrader trading signals officially launched: Burning Grid Low, Medium, and High Risk. Each is powered by my Expert Advisor, Burning Grid, a structured grid trading system designed to combine performance with strict risk management.
With over 2,100 trades executed in the first four weeks and all strategies running on just 500 € initial capital, the system has already proven its strength, consistency, and resilience.
🔍 What Makes Burning Grid Different
Burning Grid is not a classic martingale or hope-based grid EA. Its design focuses on control, scalability, and consistency, with a set of robust features:
-
Strictly limited number of open positions per symbol
-
Fixed grid spacing – not dynamically adjusted to market noise
-
Auto-lot calculation based on available balance
-
No martingale or exponential lot increases
-
Integrated event filter to avoid trading during high-impact news
-
100% automation with no manual intervention
You can read more about the system’s logic and philosophy in my detailed strategy blog, or explore the signals directly on the product page on MQL5.
⚠️ Capital Allocation: Running on 500 €, Recommended 10,000 €
All three live signals are currently running on only 500 € – a deliberate choice to demonstrate the EA's ability to perform even on very small accounts.
However, for long-term and productive use, I strongly recommend at least 10,000 € starting capital per signal, to allow the system’s full safety mechanisms to unfold – particularly during extended grid phases or higher volatility periods.
