[b]Gold Martingale Grid[/b] is a fully automated grid-martingale Expert Advisor for XAUUSD (Gold) on MetaTrader 5, with ready-made risk presets, an optional two-direction hedge mode, and a clear on-chart control panel. It is designed to be simple to run and easy to watch.
This is the free edition of Gold Martingale Grid. It uses fixed lot sizing only. Automatic balance-based lot sizing, a maximum total-lot cap, and further advanced features are reserved for the paid version. The free version is provided "as is", with no guarantees of profit or performance. Use it entirely at your own risk.
[b]Please read first — risk[/b]
This EA uses a martingale grid: after an adverse move it adds further trades with a larger lot to lower the basket's average price, then closes the whole basket on a small retracement. This style produces many small wins and occasional large losses. A strong, sustained trend can cause deep drawdown or hit the equity stop. Trade only on capital you can afford to lose, and test on a demo account first. This is not financial advice and past results do not guarantee future performance.
[b]How it works[/b]
[list]
[*]It opens the first trade of a basket using your chosen entry signal.
[*]If price moves against the basket by the grid step, it adds another trade with a multiplied lot.
[*]The basket closes when price returns to the take-profit distance from the average entry.
[*]A built-in equity stop and daily loss limit are there to cap the downside.
[/list]
[b]Key features[/b]
[list]
[*]Three one-click risk presets (Conservative, Balanced, Aggressive) plus a fully Custom mode.
[*]Two entry modes: MA trend filter, or follow the last candle's direction.
[*]Multi-timeframe signal — manage on a fast chart while reading the trend of a higher timeframe.
[*]Optional hedge mode: an independent opposite-direction basket that profits and closes on its own (requires a hedging account).
[*]On-chart dashboard with live PAUSE and CLOSE ALL buttons.
[/list]
[b]On-chart panel shows[/b]
