Against The Surf EA is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 4 that takes the opposite approach to most trend followers. It combines hedging, grid and trend elements and is built to trade against the prevailing move rather than ride it.
The EA opens positions that go against the current direction of price and manages them with a grid of additional orders. Hedging allows buy and sell positions to be open at the same time, which is why the account type matters. Trend logic is used as part of the decision process, so the expert is not a plain averaging grid.
Because it fights the market, a strong and sustained move in one direction is the main danger. Positions can accumulate, margin use rises, and drawdowns can become large. You should understand this before putting real money behind it.
The tool is meant for Forex pairs. It does not rely on a specific chart timeframe, so the period you attach it to is less important than the spacing between orders and the lot size. Pairs differ in volatility, and the default spacing is set for moderately volatile pairs. Quieter or more volatile pairs usually need different distances.
The exact input list and default values can differ between releases, so open the EA's input tab after attaching it and read each parameter. These are the areas you should review:
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Order distance | Match it to the volatility of the pair you trade |
| Lot size | Keep it small relative to your balance |
| Grid depth | Understand the maximum number of open positions |
| Magic number | Use a unique value for each chart |
Counter-trend grid and hedging systems can lose a large part of an account in a single extended move. Backtest results, including any with high-quality tick data, are only a guide and do not predict live results. Test on a demo account first and size positions conservatively.
Trading carries risk and you can lose money. Past results do not predict future ones. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose.

No. This listing is for MetaTrader 4 only. An MT5 terminal cannot load the MT4 expert file, so make sure your broker offers MT4 before buying.
A hedging account, because the strategy can hold buy and sell positions at the same time. Netting accounts are not suitable. Confirm the account mode with your broker.
It is not designed for small accounts. Grid and hedging methods can tie up a lot of margin when the market moves against the open positions. Check the minimum balance stated on the product page and consider testing on a demo first.
The logic does not depend on a particular timeframe, so the chart period matters less than the order spacing and lot settings. Test your chosen pair and settings in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account.
The defaults are aimed at moderately volatile pairs. For calmer or more volatile pairs you should adjust the distance between orders. Check the recommended settings supplied with the product and test any changes before trading live.
Copy the expert file into the MQL4/Experts folder through File, Open Data Folder in MT4, restart the terminal, then drag the EA onto a chart with automated trading enabled.
