AB Universal Grid is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 4 that handles the routine parts of grid and averaging trading: placing additional orders, sizing them, tracking the basket breakeven and closing the whole group at a target. It can open its own trades or take over trades that were opened elsewhere.
The EA builds a basket of orders in one direction. When price moves against the basket, it adds further orders at a distance set by your step rules, and it recalculates a common take profit for the whole grid after each new order. Lot sizing can follow averaging or martingale patterns, depending on how you configure it.
The EA can manage orders it did not open. Enter the magic number of the manual trades or of another EA, and the grid logic is applied to those orders. This is useful if you open trades from a phone and want the basket handled on your terminal.
The package includes an always-in-the-market mode that is mainly useful for testing the mechanics, and a mode based on a gold-oriented indicator. If you prefer your own entries, you can use the EA only as a manager.
The EA draws the breakeven level of the whole grid and shows where the next order would be placed, so you can see the state of the basket without calculating it by hand.
Grid logic can be applied to many forex symbols, and the built-in indicator-based mode is aimed at gold. The suitable timeframe depends on the entry method and step settings you choose. Check spreads, swaps and contract specifications with your broker, and test each symbol before using it live.
The inputs are extensive. Exact names and defaults can differ between builds, so read the list in your terminal and the developer's operating manual. The table below describes the areas to review.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Magic number | Which orders the EA should manage, its own or others |
| Entry mode | Built-in strategy or management of existing orders only |
| Step type and size | Fixed, variable or adaptive distance between orders |
| Lot progression | Starting lot and how fast it grows per order |
| Drawdown and profit limits | Levels at which the EA stops trading |
| Recovery options | Trailing balance and cumulative buffer behaviour |
Trading carries risk, and past results do not predict future ones. Grid, averaging and martingale methods can accumulate large floating losses when the market trends against the basket. Set drawdown limits, size lots to your account and test on a demo account first.
If you plan to manage trades from other sources, confirm that your account type allows the order directions the grid needs, and check your broker's minimum lot and stop level rules.

No. This listing is the MT4 edition. A separate MT5 edition exists, so make sure you install the one that matches your terminal.
Yes. The EA can take over orders opened manually, from a mobile app or by other EAs. You enter the magic number of those orders in the inputs, and the grid logic is applied to them. Check how manual trades are tagged on your broker before relying on this.
Yes. It has many inputs and is meant for users who are willing to study them. Read the operating manual published by the developer, run the strategy tester and then a demo account before using real funds.
The EA includes an always-in-the-market entry mode that is useful for testing, and an entry mode based on a gold-oriented indicator. You can also use it purely as a manager for orders opened elsewhere.
No result can be promised. Grid and martingale methods can build large floating losses in a trending market, and past results do not predict future ones. Use limits you can afford.
