GridHedge Pro — Bidirectional grid with martingale and active hedge for XAUUSD
GridHedge Pro is a specialized MT5 advisor built on the research stack of the Freedom Pro FX team. The algorithm implements a bidirectional grid-martingale strategy with active hedging — it enters the market simultaneously in both directions, averages when moving against a position, hedges the skewed side of the basket and closes everything according to the total Take Profit. Without waiting for signals. Without predicting the direction.
How the algorithm works:
Seed pair — on an empty basket, the ADVISER opens BUY and SELL with the same lot at the same time.
Geometric grid — when PipStep = 325 pt moves against the direction, an averaging order opens with a lot × LotExponent = 1.5.
Active hedge — when the dominant side accumulates HedjOrdCount = 5 orders, a counter-hedge opens with a lot last_lot / 2.5. The margin balance is restored without a complete basket flip.
Total Take Profit — after each new order, the weighted average entry is recalculated, TP is set to avg ± 350 pt. The entire basket of one direction is closed at the same time.
Candle pause — averaging is limited to M15-bar openings, excluding tick-level spam in the grid.
Safety limiters (v2.30):
The three hard limits are enabled by default and require an explicit action to change.:
InpMaxLotHardCap = 0.50 is a hard lot ceiling for each order, regardless of the depth of the martingale.
InpMaxMarginPct = 10% — pre-flight OrderCalcMargin + OrderCheck before each trade; orders that exceed 10% of the free margin are rejected or reduced.
InpMinEquityPct = 30% — if equity falls below 30% of the starting value of the session, the basket is forcibly closed and trading stops. A hard stop without persuasion.
Additionally: broker stop/freeze-level checks on each SL modification, quiet CTrade (clean Experts log), full status panel on the chart.

Why GridHedge Pro?
Specialization in Gold. The EA was created exclusively for XAUUSD, a tool that spends 80%+ of its time in the range. The strategy uses gold's tendency to return to the average rather than trying to predict trends.
Strict risk control. Three built-in limiters (lot, margin, equity) with explicit pre-flight verification before each order — you set the upper limits of risk, the Expert Advisor does not cross them.
Transparent logic. All key parameters (PipStep, LotExponent, HedjOrdCount, TakeProfit) are included in the input parameters — the behavior of the algorithm is completely predictable and manually verifiable.
Developed by the current analytical team. GridHedge Pro was created by the Freedom Pro FX team. We trade this Expert Advisor on our own accounts.
This is not the grail.
GridHedge Pro does not work without drawdowns, it is a component of the algorithm. The expected maximum drawdown in the worst month is 15-25%, you need to be prepared for this and take risks.
Never launch on a live account without at least 30 days of demo forward test. Read Risk_Management_Guide_EN.pdf section 4 before launching.
Past test results do not guarantee future ones. Trading on Forex and Gold carries the risk of capital loss. Use only available funds. All risk decisions are yours.
