Magic Grid
- Experts
- Version: 4.5
- Updated: 29 January 2026
Magic Grid is an indicator-free advisor that uses a grid strategy. The strategy is based on automatic reopening of grid pending orders, after closing their market positions (by Take-Profit, Stop-Loss or manually). Pending orders are placed with a specified step from the initial prices, which can be entered manually or generated automatically (one time at the beginning of the trade). The robot can trade on any time frame, on any currency pair, on several currency pairs, and on any number of digits. It does not interfere with manual trading or the trading of other advisors. It only works with its own orders and provides all the necessary information about them as needed.
The Magic Grid information panel, together with the system of various alerts, provides reliable control over the advisor's entire trading. With the help of the panel, you can always check the declared number of orders and positions in relation to their actual market number. Depending on the situation, the advisor issues various reports on any important changes in its work or any errors that have occurred. For example, alerts are issued about the number of restored orders if any positions were closed during the time the terminal was turned off, exceeding the maximum allowed number of orders, a pending order not being placed due to a price being too close, and so on...
Settings
- Initial price for BUY orders - Initial price for creating a grid with BUY orders If the value is equal to 0, this price will be automatically selected. In this case, this price will be considered the starting price until the trade is finished or a value is manually set for it. The automatic selection is based on the values of the minimum allowed deviations (from the current market prices) for pending orders (at the start of trading).
- Quantity of BuyUP price levels from Initial Price - number of Buy orders up from the initial price (can be zero)
- Quantity of BuyDOWN price levels from Initial Price - number of Buy orders down from the initial price (can be zero)
- Grid Step for BUY orders - grid step between Buy orders for the current grid (calculated in points of the selected pair)
- Take-Profit for each BUY order - Take-Profit value for each Buy order of the current grid (calculated in points, can be zero)
- Stop-Loss for each BUY order - Stop-Loss value for each Buy order of the current grid (calculated in points, can be zero)

Testing
When testing an Expert Advisor in the Strategy Tester, you should take into account the limitation on the maximum number of orders for the selected broker. If it is exceeded, the EA will not place a single order!
All missed ticks only reduce the effectiveness of the advisor, because its work is based on volatility, and the lower it is, the less likely it is to fix possible profit.
After adjusting the setup properly for XAUUSD M30, this EA performs flawlessly. Consistent profit every day. Thank you to the developer !
