The RobotFX Grid EA is a professional MetaTrader MT4 and MT5 expert advisor that manages lotsizes safely while trading a grid strategy. Unlike classic grid trading, which often increases lotsizes in a martingale-like approach leading to losses during reversals, RobotFX Grid EA dynamically adjusts lotsizes for both initial and hedging trades. Trades are opened according to the detected trend: long trades in uptrends and short trades in downtrends, with entry signals confirmed by the Stochastic oscillator or customizable indicators like MA crossovers and PSAR.
In a downtrend (price below the moving average), the EA opens only short trades. Stochastic ensures precise entries when crossing the overbought zone, and the opposite occurs for long trades in uptrends.
This combination of advanced grid trading strategy, trend detection, and hedging enables traders to maximize profits while minimizing losses, making RobotFX Grid EA a reliable and professional solution for MetaTrader MT4 and MT5 users.
Thanks to the advanced hedging capabilities, RobotFX Grid EA simplifies trade management on MetaTrader MT4 and MT5. Traders can easily customize:

How to choose hedging settings
⚠️ Important Notice: The Grid EA does not consider or interfere with existing trades on the chart. This includes trades opened by itself. If you close the MetaTrader terminal while a grid is running, the EA may not continue managing those trades after a restart. This is especially relevant for traders using home computers that are frequently switched off. For VPS users that run MetaTrader 24/7, this should not be an issue.
Important Notice
The Grid EA does not manage trades outside of its system. If MetaTrader is closed, running grid cycles may not continue management after restart. For best performance, a VPS is recommended for 24/7 operation.
