MAT FX Strategist - Advanced Multi-Pair Expert Advisor
MAT FX Strategist is a multi-pair Expert Advisor developed by Marc Albrecht Trading for adaptive grid-based trading across correlated forex pairs.
The strategy combines proprietary MAT trading logic with Bollinger Bands and RSI filtering. It includes configurable position sizing, adaptive grid spacing, trading hours, spread controls, drawdown protection and basket management.
Default symbols: AUDNZD, AUDCAD and NZDCAD
Default timeframe: M15
Recommended reference environment: RoboForex ProCent with KXTL
Strategy Overview
MAT FX Strategist manages several forex pairs from one Expert Advisor instance. The default configuration trades AUDNZD, AUDCAD and NZDCAD.
The EA evaluates market conditions using our internal MAT trading logic together with Bollinger Bands and RSI. When the configured conditions are met, positions are opened and managed through the selected lot-sizing, grid and basket-management parameters.
If additional positions are needed, the grid system manages them using configurable distance and lot-sizing rules. The basket can then be managed using weighted Take Profit, Break Even and the selected exit logic.
MAT FX Strategist is a different strategy from MATrader AI. It was built specifically for multi-pair forex diversification and basket-based grid management.

Why We Use and Recommend RoboForex
MAT FX Strategist was developed, tested and monitored using RoboForex ProCent conditions.
The reason we use RoboForex is not only technical. During more than 15 years of trading, we have opened and tested accounts with many different brokers, and RoboForex is the broker we personally trust most.
In all the years we have used them, we have never had withdrawal problems, unexplained account restrictions or similar issues that made us question whether we wanted to continue trading there and not a single community member ever reported anything bad about them in all those years either.
That is why we use RoboForex ourselves and why we are comfortable recommending it to our community.
There is also an important technical reason for using the same broker as our reference accounts.
Why the Broker Matters
An Expert Advisor does not trade one universal forex price. It trades the Bid and Ask prices supplied to MetaTrader by the broker.
Different brokers can use different banks, liquidity providers, liquidity pools and price aggregation systems. Because of that, two brokers showing the same currency pair can still produce slightly different prices and execution.
These differences can include:
- Liquidity providers - Brokers can receive executable prices from different market participants.
- Liquidity aggregation - Bid and Ask prices can be combined differently.
- Bid and Ask prices - The exact quote can differ slightly between brokers.
- Tick timing - Price updates can arrive in a different order or at slightly different times.
- Spread behavior - Spreads can widen differently during volatility, news or rollover.
- Execution price - The available price can differ by the time an order reaches the broker.
- Slippage - Different liquidity and execution infrastructure can create different fills.
- Execution latency - Broker servers, VPS location and network routing can influence execution timing.
- Short price movements - One broker can touch a price level that another broker misses by only a few points.
- Trading costs - Spreads and order costs affect the effective entry and exit prices.
- Swap - Overnight financing can differ between trading environments.
- Contract specifications - Minimum lot size, lot step, contract size and other symbol specifications can differ.
Why This Is Especially Important for a Grid Strategy
For a grid strategy, even a tiny price difference can change the entire trading sequence.
For example, MAT FX Strategist may be waiting for the next grid level. RoboForex reaches the required Ask price and opens the next position, while another broker stays only a few points below it.
Now one account has an additional position and the other does not.
From that point, the average entry price, next grid level, weighted Take Profit and later trades can all become different.
This is why copying the same settings to another broker does not necessarily reproduce the same trades.
If you want your account to stay as close as possible to our live reference setup, it simply makes sense to use the same RoboForex ProCent environment that we use ourselves.
Why RoboForex ProCent Is the Reference Environment
MAT FX Strategist was developed, tested and monitored around RoboForex ProCent conditions.
The default parameters, position sizing, grid distances and basket structure were designed around this environment.
ProCent is also very useful for MAT FX Strategist because small effective position sizes allow much finer control when several pairs and grid positions are being managed at the same time.
That is why RoboForex ProCent is our reference account for this strategy.
Why We Use KXTL
If you are opening a RoboForex ProCent account for MAT FX Strategist anyway, we recommend using partner code KXTL.
KXTL is simply the Marc Albrecht Trading setup we use for our community. If you register through KXTL, you become a KXTL member and get all the additional KXTL benefits automatically.
There is no complicated reason behind it: if you are already opening the same RoboForex account, using KXTL gives you more useful conditions and community benefits on top.
Exclusive 0.01 ProCent Lot Size with KXTL
This is probably the most useful KXTL benefit for MAT FX Strategist.
The normal RoboForex MT4 ProCent minimum order size is 0.10 lots.
With KXTL, the minimum is only 0.01 ProCent lots, which is approximately equivalent to trading 0.0001 lots of standard-account exposure.
KXTL is the only RoboForex partner setup that provides this 0.01 ProCent minimum lot size.
That gives you ten times finer control over the smallest possible position size, which is especially useful for a grid strategy where position sizing matters a lot.
Lower Trading Costs with KXTL
KXTL members also receive the reduced trading-cost conditions connected to the KXTL setup.
For an EA that can open multiple positions across several currency pairs, even small differences in order costs can add up over time.
So if you are using RoboForex anyway, it makes sense to use the KXTL conditions instead of paying the normal costs without receiving the extra benefits.
Free VPS for KXTL Members
All KXTL members also receive access to a free VPS.
This is useful for automated trading because MetaTrader can stay online continuously without your home computer running 24 hours a day.
- Continuous EA operation - MAT FX Strategist can stay active around the clock.
- Stable MetaTrader environment - Your EA does not depend on your personal computer staying online.
- Less dependence on home internet - Local internet interruptions do not stop the VPS.
- Remote access - You can access the trading environment remotely.
- Dedicated EA environment - The VPS can be used specifically for MetaTrader and automated trading.
Free Expert Advisors for KXTL Members
Another important KXTL benefit is access to our other Marc Albrecht Trading Expert Advisors.
All KXTL members receive access to multiple MAT Expert Advisors at no additional cost, including EAs that are otherwise offered separately as paid products.
So instead of buying every MAT system individually, KXTL members can use several different strategies through the community.
As we develop new systems, we can continue adding more Expert Advisors, tools and resources for KXTL members.
We constantly work on and release new free systems for the KXTL community to support your trading success as best as possible.
KXTL Community Benefits
- Exclusive 0.01 ProCent minimum order size - Instead of the normal 0.10 MT4 ProCent minimum.
- Reduced trading costs - KXTL members receive the KXTL trading-cost conditions.
- Free VPS - For running MetaTrader and Expert Advisors continuously.
- Additional MAT Expert Advisors free - Including systems that are otherwise offered separately as paid products.
- Multiple MAT strategies - Access to systems for different markets and trading approaches.
- EA updates - Access to supported community EA updates.
- New MAT systems - Additional strategies and tools can be added to the community.
- Reference configurations - Access to the settings and setups used within the MAT ecosystem.
- Community resources - Additional tools, information and trading resources.
Why Use KXTL If You Are Opening RoboForex Anyway?
Pretty simple: if you are going to open RoboForex ProCent for MAT FX Strategist anyway, use KXTL.
You get the same broker we use, but with the exclusive 0.01 ProCent minimum lot size, lower trading costs, a free VPS and access to our other MAT Expert Advisors.
Opening the same account without KXTL means you keep the normal 0.10 minimum and miss the KXTL community benefits.
So from our point of view, there is not really a reason to open the same setup without KXTL if you are planning to use our systems.
KXTL Also Supports Our Development
KXTL also helps us keep developing the ecosystem.
RoboForex pays us a partner commission for referred traders, which means we can use that income to develop Expert Advisors, updates, tools, infrastructure and additional free resources for the community.
For us, this works well for both sides: you receive the KXTL conditions and community benefits, while the partnership helps us finance more free development.
That is also why we can give KXTL members access to several paid MAT Expert Advisors and Systems without charging them anything.

How to Start
1. Install MAT FX Strategist through MQL5 Market.
2. Open a RoboForex ProCent account. If you want the KXTL setup and community benefits, use partner code KXTL.
3. Make sure AUDNZD, AUDCAD and NZDCAD are available in Market Watch.
4. Attach MAT FX Strategist to one AUDNZD, AUDCAD or NZDCAD M15 chart.
5. The EA manages all configured pairs from that one chart, so you do not need a separate EA instance on every pair.
6. Enable automated trading.
7. Review the lot-sizing, grid, spread, trading-hour and drawdown settings.
8. Keep the default parameters if you want to remain closest to our reference setup.
Important Risk Information
MAT FX Strategist uses grid-based position management. Several positions can therefore remain open simultaneously, and floating drawdown can become significant during prolonged adverse market movements.
Risk increases when larger position sizes, stronger lot multipliers or more aggressive settings are selected.
Historical trading, backtests and Signal monitoring do not guarantee future results.
Product Availability
MAT FX Strategist is currently available through MQL5 Market free of charge.
All KXTL members also receive access to multiple Marc Albrecht Trading Expert Advisors at no additional cost, including EAs that are otherwise offered separately as paid products.
Final Information
MAT FX Strategist was built around the same RoboForex ProCent environment that we use ourselves.
After more than 15 years of experience with many different brokers, RoboForex is the broker we personally trust most and the broker we recommend to our community.
Using the same environment also helps reduce differences caused by liquidity providers, pricing feeds, spreads and execution, which is especially important for a grid strategy.
If you are opening RoboForex ProCent for MAT FX Strategist anyway, our advice is simple: use KXTL. You get the 0.01 ProCent minimum lot size, reduced trading costs, free VPS access and our additional MAT Expert Advisors, while at the same time supporting the continued development of the project.
