Up to 35 supported symbols. One MetaTrader 5 chart. One coordinated multi-pair grid system.
Burning Grid can process multiple strategies across up to 35 supported symbols from one chart. Shared controls coordinate spread conditions, symbol and currency exposure, running grids and account-level limits. Each strategy still follows its own market conditions.
| START WITH THE FREE DEMO Use the Free Demo button on this Market page to test Burning Grid in the MT5 Strategy Tester. A Hedging account is required; Netting accounts are not supported. The short backtest guide follows below. With Auto Spread enabled, the EA handles broker-specific spread-limit optimization. |
BACKTEST GUIDE: UNDERSTAND YOUR OWN SETUP
- In MetaTrader 5, open the Strategy Tester, select Burning Grid and use Manual Selection for the symbols you want to test.
- Enter your broker's exact symbol suffix if needed. Match the intended deposit, currency, leverage and test period. Check that all enabled symbols and their history are available.
- Choose the trade mode, risk profile and Buy/Sell risk you intend to use. If loading a setfile, review its mode and risk settings before starting.
- Review the complete report: balance and equity curves, drawdown, margin, open-grid behaviour, trades and symbol participation. Compare conditions rather than expecting the published results to repeat.
| AUTO SPREAD CHANGES THE BACKTEST TASK With Activate automated Spread Optimization enabled, Burning Grid analyses available historical spread data and refreshes broker-specific maximum spread limits in the background. You do not need a separate broker backtest just to optimize those limits. Test anyway to understand the strategies and account risk under your broker conditions. Until a valid spread profile is available, configured Max Spread inputs serve as fallback limits. |
The Event Filter is available in live trading but is not active in the Strategy Tester. Broker history, spread, commission, swaps, leverage, minimum lot size and execution can change results.
CHOOSE THE TRADE MODE
| REGULAR Uses the selected strategy profile and Buy/Sell risk inputs without Small Account or Prop Firm account-limit budgeting. Intended for regular accounts above 10,000 USD. | SMALL ACCOUNT Uses your configured Account Balance and Account Limit to restrict new strategies for a smaller account. Broker minimum lot size can still raise effective risk. |
| AUTO SMALL / REGULAR Applies integrated small-account behaviour below 10,000 USD equivalent and regular-account behaviour from that threshold. Review the active inputs and test your intended account size. | PROP FIRM Budgets new strategy exposure against a configured Account Balance and Account Limit. You must check your provider's rules and leave a suitable buffer; compliance is not guaranteed. |
The Lowest, Medium and High risk profiles are separate from Trade Mode. Higher profiles can consider more strategies and allow more simultaneous activity. Risk percentages are sizing targets per strategy, not guaranteed maximum account losses.
LIVE SIGNALS AND HISTORICAL TESTS
Review the four separate MQL5 accounts independently: iFunds 85K, ICTrading Low Risk, ICTrading Medium Risk and ICTrading High Risk. Broker, period, deposits, withdrawals and settings differ between accounts.
The published Low- and Medium-Risk MetaTrader 5 tests each used 34 symbols, a 10,000 USD starting balance and 100% History Quality from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2026:
| LOW-RISK TEST 38,709.86 USD net profit 30,740 completed trades Profit Factor 2.01 Relative balance drawdown 3.81% | MEDIUM-RISK TEST 206,790.24 USD net profit 57,091 completed trades Profit Factor 2.08 Relative balance drawdown 5.21% |
See the original reports in the 12-image gallery below. Check equity drawdown as well as balance drawdown; balance alone does not show the full exposure of a grid system. Historical simulations are not live results or a forecast.
PORTFOLIO CONTROLS AND GRID MANAGEMENT
- Before entry: spread and event filters, risk profile, separate Buy/Sell sizing, optional symbol or currency blocking and account-mode checks.
- While running: grid management, account- and currency-level drawdown controls and optional Early Exit Engine (EEE).
- EEE: before another level is added to a longer-running grid, it can reassess the strategy's market conditions and close the grid when they have changed too far. A small-loss exit is not guaranteed.
- Grid Level Mode: One Position per Level opens a separate ticket at each reached level. One Position per Strategy replaces the current position with one using the combined level size. Both remain grid-based.
- Rollover protection: helps manage trailing grids around the New York rollover, when spreads can widen. It does not guarantee an exit without loss.
- Portfolio dashboard: keep track of your strategies and trading activity from one chart, with a choice of day and night appearance.
Several strategies can be active together. Gaps, slippage, execution, correlated exposure and broker minimum lot size can increase realised loss beyond a selected strategy risk percentage.

I've been using Burning Grid for over 15 months now, and I'm still very satisfied with the product. I used to be very skeptical of traditional grid systems. But Burning Grid has proven me wrong—there really are good grid systems on the market. Of course, there are high risks and significant market fluctuations. Nevertheless, BG has so far been smart enough to skillfully offset them. I hope for many more successful years ahead, and I’d like to thank Markus M., whose dedicated and friendly support rounds out the whole package.
