Hedge Trimmer EA

Hedge Trimmer & Roll-Over EA

Managing a hedged position means carrying two opposing trades simultaneously. Over time, the losing side grows while the profitable side offsets it. The standard problem is that closing the loser costs money you may not have sitting in cash — it has to come from somewhere.

Hedge Trimmer EA solves this by using the floating profit on your winning trades as the funding source to progressively close down the losing side. It identifies which trades are in profit, uses a configurable percentage of that profit as its working budget, and applies it toward closing the oldest losing trades first — reducing your overall hedged exposure without requiring you to inject new capital.

What it does

The EA operates across both legs of your hedge simultaneously. It works out how much of the losing side it can realistically close given the available profit budget, executes the closures in strict chronological order, and optionally rebalances the remaining lots so the hedge ratio is restored after each operation. A rollover module extends this concept to historical profit — if you have a record of closed trades over a chosen date range, that realized gain can also be used as a budget to systematically reduce open hedged positions.

Key features

The dashboard displays full exposure statistics in real time: total buy and sell lots, hedge ratio, floating P/L by direction, last trim result, and cumulative lots reduced. All actions — manual trim, auto-trim, rollover calculation and execution, and manual trade entry — are accessible directly from the dashboard without opening any dialog.

Auto-trim mode monitors conditions continuously and executes when your profitable P/L exceeds a configurable threshold, with a cooldown timer to prevent overtrading. A reshuffle guard prevents the EA from executing a trim that would merely recycle positions within the same direction without reducing imbalance — a scenario that looks like progress but is not.

The EA supports multiple charts simultaneously. Each instance manages only the positions matching its configured magic number and symbol.

Parameters include: magic number, trim percentage, minimum profit threshold, cooldown timer, lot rebalance toggle, slippage buffer, equity protection floor, margin level floor, rollover date range, and full color customization of the dashboard.

Designed for: traders running grid, martingale, or manually-hedged strategies who need a structured, capital-efficient method to reduce exposure over time rather than holding indefinitely or closing at a large realized loss.
