BTC ANCHOR 1.0 — Adaptive Bitcoin Trading for MetaTrader 5
BTC ANCHOR is an automated Expert Advisor developed for BTCUSD. It combines selective entry conditions, volatility-based grid spacing and global basket management within a single trading system.
The EA evaluates trend, volatility and candle conditions before opening a position. Once a trading cycle begins, it manages one basket at a time, coordinating additional entries and the combined exit target automatically.
A RAW account is mandatory for BTC ANCHOR due to the potentially high spreads on BTCUSD. Wide spreads increase trading costs and can significantly affect basket results. Always verify your broker’s actual BTCUSD spreads, commissions and contract specifications; a RAW account label alone does not guarantee tighter cryptocurrency pricing.

BTC ANCHOR includes the following features:
-
ATR-based grid: Spacing adapts to market volatility. Additional positions remain subject to the EA’s entry conditions and enabled controls.
-
Global take profit in points: Positions are managed as a basket, with a combined target calculated from the volume-weighted average entry.
-
One active basket at a time: A new trading cycle waits until the previous basket has fully closed.
-
High-impact news filter: Configurable pauses before and after selected economic releases. Default settings are 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after, monitoring USD events.
-
Major USD event protection: An independent option blocks new entries and grid additions throughout the day before and the day of qualifying CPI, PPI, FOMC, Fed rate and NFP/payroll events. Trading becomes eligible again the following day, provided no other restriction applies.
-
Optional maximum spread filter: Prevents new exposure when the spread exceeds the configured limit. Disabled by default.
-
Optional daily drawdown protection: Attempts to close the EA’s exposure and pauses trading for the remainder of the server day when the configured daily loss threshold is reached. Disabled by default.
-
Integrated English dashboard: Displays daily, monthly and total realized profit, base lot, basket positions, spread, floating result and operating status.
Four lot-sizing modes are available:
| Mode | Base lot calculation |
|---|---|
| Fixed Lot | Uses your selected starting lot |
| Auto Lot | Adjusts the starting lot using account balance and a configurable divisor |
| Low Risk | Preset sizing of 0.01 lot per $2,000 balance increment |
| Medium Risk | Preset sizing of 0.01 lot per $1,000 balance increment |
Broker volume limits and rounding apply. These modes determine the starting lot; they do not define a maximum possible loss.
News controls require access to the calendar feed. During a news pause, existing positions remain open and basket exit management continues. News protection does not automatically close an existing basket.
BTC ANCHOR uses grid trading without individual stop losses. Exposure can increase as positions accumulate, and adverse market moves can cause substantial losses, including loss of the account balance. Optional protection cannot guarantee a maximum loss. Keep MT5 connected and Algo Trading enabled because basket exits are managed by the EA. Results can differ between brokers and are not guaranteed.
