Devastation

DEVASTATION is an automated Expert Advisor built specifically for XAUUSD (Gold) on MetaTrader 5. It combines a Hedge entry model with a Grid/Martingale recovery system, layered with several independent risk-management filters designed to keep drawdown and exposure under control.
The EA opens a simultaneous Buy and Sell position (Hedge) when no trade is open, then manages each side independently: adding Grid positions when price moves against an open position, closing the full basket once a profit target is reached, and using a Counter Order mechanism to help balance the basket during extended Grid sequences.
Key Features
- Hedge + Grid Martingale core strategy — opens Buy and Sell together, then scales into the market with configurable lot multiplier and grid step.
- Counter Order system — opens a counter-trend position once the Grid reaches a configurable threshold, to help offset drawdown during strong trends.
- Signal-based entries — Stochastic + EMA trend filter for additional entries once a Hedge cycle is active.
- Volatility filter — automatically pauses new entries during abnormal ATR spikes, oversized candles, or wide spread conditions.
- Two independent trading-hour sessions per day — restrict new entries to your preferred trading windows (Thailand time, UTC+7 based).
- Friday protection filter — no new cycles are opened on Friday; any open basket is allowed to reach its profit target before closing (no forced loss-close).
- Maximum Drawdown Protection — automatically closes all positions and stops the EA if drawdown exceeds your configured limit.
- Daily Profit Target — locks in daily gains and pauses new trading once the day's profit goal is reached.
- Profit close by fixed amount or % of balance — choose whichever suits your account size.

Risk Warning
This EA uses a Hedge and Grid/Martingale strategy, which by nature increases position size when the market moves against an open trade. This approach can produce steady gains in ranging or moderately trending conditions, but carries a real risk of significant drawdown — and potential loss of the full account balance — during strong, sustained trending moves or extreme volatility. Past performance and backtest results do not guarantee future results. Always test on a demo account first, and only trade with capital you can afford to lose. Use appropriate lot sizing and the built-in risk controls (Max Drawdown Protection, Daily Profit Target) according to your own risk tolerance.
