Expert Advisor for MT4 & MT5 | XAUUSD Specialist
Adaptive Grid + Intelligent Market Filters
Strategy
EA Phoenix Apex is an advanced Grid + Martingale Expert Advisor built for XAUUSD, available for both MT4 and MT5. It builds on the proven core of EA Phoenix Ultra and adds three intelligent adaptive systems:
- ATR Dynamic Step — Adjusts grid spacing based on daily ATR volatility. Wider steps in volatile markets, tighter steps in quiet ones.
- EMA Trend Filter — Uses EMA 50/200 crossover to detect trend direction. Opens new cycles only when the market direction is confirmed.
- ATR Risk Stop — Detects ATR spike vs. 20-bar average. Auto-pauses all new entries during news events and volatility spikes.
- Conservative Grid + Martingale with intelligent adaptive step
- Hard SL Money Protection (5% of balance per cycle)
- Average-price TP calculation for smarter exits
- Distance + Bar Close noise filter (End Bars ON/OFF)
- Flexible usage — 24/7 VPS or manual session-based operation
- Supports both MT4 and MT5
How It Works
Order Logic
- Selectable Order Mode: AUTO-BOTH / AUTO-BUY Only / AUTO-SELL Only
- Buy and Sell grids run independently
- Lot size fully customisable per grid level (lot_1 through lot_50)
- Maximum 50 orders per direction
- Hard Stop Loss — SL Money protection (default -5,000 USC)
- Recommended for Cent accounts
ATR Dynamic Step
Calculates daily ATR and applies a multiplier to derive effective grid step, clamped between MinStep and MaxStep.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ATR Dynamic Step | ON | Enable / Disable |
| ATR Step Period | 20 (D1) | ATR lookback period |
| ATR Multiplier | 0.10 | Step = (ATR / Point) × Multiplier |
| Min Step | 500 pts | Floor for grid spacing |
| Max Step | 1,000 pts | Ceiling for grid spacing |
EMA Trend Filter
Uses EMA 50 and EMA 200 on a user-selected timeframe. New cycles open only when price and EMA alignment confirm the trend. NEUTRAL conditions = no new cycle.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AUTO Trend Filter | ON | Enable / Disable |
| EMA Fast | 50 | Fast EMA period |
| EMA Slow | 200 | Slow EMA period |
| Trend TF | H1 (60) | Timeframe for EMA calculation |
ATR Risk Stop
Compares current ATR vs. 20-bar rolling average. If current ATR exceeds the average × multiplier, all new entries pause until volatility normalises. Open orders continue to be managed normally.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Risk Stop Enable | ON | Enable / Disable |
| ATR Risk Period | 14 | ATR lookback period |
| ATR Risk Mult | 2.0 | Spike threshold multiplier |
MT4 vs MT5
| Feature | MT4 | MT5 |
|---|---|---|
| Order functions | OrderSend / OrderClose | CTrade (MQL5 library) |
| Filling mode | Broker server | Auto-detected (FOK / IOC / Return) |
| Hedging | Native | Requires Hedging account |
| Backtest | Strategy Tester MT4 | Strategy Tester MT5 (tick data) |
Important (MT5): Ensure your account is set to Hedging mode. Netting accounts do not support simultaneous Buy and Sell positions.

Before You Go Live
We strongly recommend running a backtest before going live:
- Find Lot size, Step, and SL settings that match your risk tolerance
- Verify EMA Trend Filter behaviour on your chosen timeframe
- Confirm ATR Dynamic Step ranges suit current market volatility
- Understand ATR Risk Stop behaviour during high-impact news events
- Build confidence before committing real capital
Only go live once you are satisfied with the backtest results and fully understand the system's behaviour.
Risk Disclaimer: Using an Expert Advisor involves risk. Users should study and backtest thoroughly before making any trading decisions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
