GridTrailling

Smart breakout grid EA with trailing pending orders, trailing stop, session/news filters, drawdown protection, and netting-safe execution for MT5.

GridTrailingEA is a smart pending-order grid Expert Advisor with trailing pending orders, trailing stop,

session filter, news-time filter, drawdown protection, and market-safe validation for MT5.

GridTrailingEA is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor designed for traders who want a clean and controlled grid-style pending order system.

The EA places Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders around the current market price, then continuously trails those pending orders as price moves.

When one side is triggered, the EA manages the open position with a configurable trailing stop and removes the opposite pending order to avoid unwanted exposure, especially on netting accounts.

This robot includes practical protection features such as session filtering, news-time filtering, max drawdown protection,

symbol volume normalization,stop/freeze level handling, and margin checks. It is built to work safely with the MQL5 Market validation environment and supports both EURUSD and XAUUSD testing conditions.

GridTrailingEA is especially suitable for traders who prefer breakout-style entries using pending orders instead of instant market execution.

Main Features:

- Buy Stop and Sell Stop grid system

- Pending orders trail with market movement

- Automatic opposite order removal after activation

- Trailing stop for open positions

- Session filter for controlled trading hours

- Manual news-time filter

- Max drawdown protection

- Automatic volume normalization

- Stop level and freeze level protection

- Margin check before placing new orders

- Netting account compatible

- Low-log mode for stable Strategy Tester and MQL5 Market validation

How It Works:

1. The EA places Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders at a defined distance from the current price.

2. If price moves, the pending orders can trail the market based on the selected trailing step.

3. When one pending order is triggered, the opposite pending order is removed.

4. The open position is then managed with a configurable trailing stop.

5. If session, news-time, margin, or drawdown conditions are not suitable, the EA pauses or removes pending orders depending on the situation.

Recommended Symbols:

- XAUUSD

The EA can be tested on different symbols, but optimization is recommended for each broker and trading instrument.

Recommended Accounts:

  - Raw Spread 

  - ICMarkets , Paperstone

Recommended Timeframes:

- M1

- H4

- D1

The EA is not locked to a specific timeframe, but higher timeframes usually reduce noise and excessive order modifications.

Important Notes:

Grid systems involve risk, especially during strong trends, high volatility, and low liquidity periods. Always test the EA in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before using it on a live account.

No profit is guaranteed. Results depend on broker conditions, spread, leverage, symbol settings, market volatility, and user configuration.
