HybridEMA SmartRecovery is an MT5 Expert Advisor that combines trend-based entries with a recovery grid on one side and profit trailing measured in USD. It was built for XAUUSD (Gold), and it works on any symbol once the point-based settings are adjusted.
How it works
- Filtered first entry. The EA opens its first order only when market conditions are suitable:
- The fast EMA (10) and slow EMA (20) set the direction: BUY when the fast EMA is above the slow one, otherwise SELL.
- The ADX filter requires trend strength of at least 25. It can be turned off.
- The ATR filter requires a minimum volatility in points. It can be turned off.
- The spread filter blocks entries when the spread is too wide.
- A cool-down period applies after each basket closes.
- Smart recovery grid. If the price moves against the basket, the EA adds orders in the same direction only. Each new order opens a fixed step (300 points by default) away from the furthest existing order. Lot sizes follow a built-in progressive table of 50 steps, starting at 0.01. The table can be scaled with one multiplier.
- USD basket trailing. The basket profit includes swap and commission. Trailing works in two modes:
- Single order: trailing starts at $0.80 and closes the basket on a $0.30 pullback from the peak. A hard take-profit closes it at $5.00.
- Two or more orders: trailing starts at $2.00 and closes on a $0.50 pullback. A hard take-profit closes it at $10.00.
Built-in protection
- Drawdown exit: closes the basket when its loss reaches a set percentage of the balance (default 30%).
- Margin-level guard: skips recovery orders that would push the margin level below the limit.
- Emergency stop-loss: sent to the broker together with each order, so it stays in place even if the terminal goes offline.
- Safety checks: free margin and volume are checked before every order, and the EA pauses automatically when the market is closed.
- Account types: works on both hedging and netting accounts.
Recommendations
- Symbol: XAUUSD. The EA uses the chart's timeframe for its indicators.
- Account: a cent account, or a balance of at least $1,000 per 0.01 starting lot.
- Server: a VPS with low spread and low latency is recommended.
- Before going live: test in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account first.
Key inputs: EMA, ADX and ATR settings, recovery step, max orders, lot multiplier, USD trailing (single and multi), max drawdown %, minimum margin level, emergency SL cap, magic number and comment.
Risk notice. This EA uses a recovery grid in which lot size increases on adverse moves (martingale-type). That can produce a large drawdown during strong one-way trends. Use only money you can afford to lose. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
