Product Overview
Zubba G/M is an automated trading Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 5, designed to identify swing breakouts, follow market trends, and manage trades using grid and martingale recovery techniques.
The EA combines technical analysis, automated trade execution, basket take-profit management, trailing stops, and an on-chart dashboard to help traders monitor their trading activity.
It is designed to work with the chart symbol, allowing it to be used with different broker-supported instruments, subject to the broker's trading conditions and symbol specifications.
Key Features and Advantages
1. Swing Breakout Trading
-
Identifies potential swing highs and swing lows using historical price candles.
-
Opens buy trades when price closes above a detected swing high.
-
Opens sell trades when price closes below a detected swing low.
-
Includes chart markers and optional connecting lines to visualize swing levels.
-
Offers an option to require a fresh breakout rather than accepting a candle that has already closed beyond a swing level.
2. EMA Trend Filter
-
Uses 50-period and 200-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) by default.
-
Allows buy entries when the configured higher-timeframe trend is bullish.
-
Allows sell entries when the configured higher-timeframe trend is bearish.
-

Supports fixed or progressively increasing grid spacing.

Lets traders configure the grid distance and maximum number of positions per basket.
4. Martingale Lot Management
-
Can increase the lot size of subsequent grid orders using a configurable multiplier.
-

Allows traders to adjust the initial lot and recovery multiplier to suit their testing requirements.

Who Is This EA For?

It is intended for users who want configurable entry logic and automated management of multiple positions within a basket.
Important Risk Disclaimer
Zubba G/M does not guarantee profits and can incur substantial losses. Grid and martingale strategies are particularly vulnerable to strong, sustained market trends and sudden price movements. Results depend on market conditions, broker execution, spreads, leverage, and the selected settings.
Please test the EA in the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester and on a demo account before using real funds. Start with conservative exposure and understand the strategy's potential drawdown before trading live.
