Buas is an MT4 expert advisor that places paired Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders and builds a grid in the direction of the breakout. It adds equity-based and ATR-based trailing plus an on-chart control panel.

Buas is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 4 that trades breakouts with a grid. It places a pair of pending orders around the current price, follows whichever side is triggered and then manages the resulting basket with money-based and volatility-based protection.
The entry logic is based on price movement rather than an indicator signal. Buas places a Buy Stop above the market and a Sell Stop below it at configurable distances. When one is filled, the grid develops in that direction.
When the adaptive grid option is enabled, the EA combines fast and slow EMAs, ADX for trend strength and RSI for momentum into a bias score between -1 and +1. A positive score favours the buy side and a negative score favours the sell side, which changes how far each set of pending orders sits from price. ATR scaling widens or narrows the spacing according to current volatility.
One trail works on equity: once the chosen gain in account currency is reached, it follows equity upward. The other is an ATR-based trailing stop that sets the stop distance from the volatility of each symbol. Both can be active at once.
The panel shows balance, equity, free margin, profit and loss by magic number, drawdown, trail status, session and cycle state. Buttons cover manual buy and sell, opening a full cycle, adding one-sided pending orders, closing or deleting everything, closing only losing or profitable trades, moving stops to break even, changing SL or TP in bulk, pausing either trail and taking partial profit before restarting a cycle.
The developer treats XAUUSD on H4 as the main benchmark. Other symbols may work but need their own distances, ATR settings and lot sizes. Use an ECN or raw spread account with fast execution; leverage of 1:200 or higher is suggested.
Exact defaults can differ between builds, so read the input list in your terminal. The main groups are:
| Group | Inputs | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Grid structure | UseAdaptiveGridAsymmetry, GridSkew, GridMinFactor, StartDistancex | Adaptive bias and order spacing |
| Lot control | MartMulti, GridMulti, MaxLotLimit | Fixed or progressive sizing and a cap |
| Money trailing | Trailing_Start_by_Money, Trailing_Width_by_Money | Equity-based trail |
| ATR trailing | Use_ATR_TrailSL, ATR_tf_TrailSL, ATR_Period_TrailSL, ATR_Multiplier_TrailSL | Volatility-based stop |
| Equity protection | Equity_Target_by_Money, Equity_Stop_Target_by_Money | Basket-level targets |
Trading carries risk and past results do not predict future ones. Grid systems can build large drawdown when the market moves one way for a long time, and aggressive lot multipliers can lead to margin calls or stop-outs. Set a maximum lot limit and equity protection, and test on a demo account first.
Start with a conservative fixed lot until you understand how the grid scales and how the trails behave. Run a multi-year backtest and a forward demo test on your own broker before using real money.

No. This listing is the MetaTrader 4 build and must be used on an MT4 terminal. It will not load in MetaTrader 5.
The developer's primary benchmark is XAUUSD on H4. Other forex pairs or crypto symbols can be tried, but the grid distances, ATR trail and lot settings will need adjusting and testing first.
Grid systems depend on tight spreads and fast execution, so an ECN or raw spread account with low latency is suggested, with leverage of 1:200 or more. Check your broker's stop level, spread and margin rules before running it.
The default settings are built around a balance of about USD 10,000. Smaller accounts can be tested in simulation, but you should lower the lot size, set a maximum lot limit and confirm the margin impact on a demo account before using real funds.
It trades automatically, but the on-chart panel also lets you open orders, close groups of trades, edit stop loss and take profit, and pause the trails. You can use it hands-off or intervene as needed.
Extract the download, copy the expert file into the MQL4/Experts folder through File, Open Data Folder, then restart MT4 or refresh the Navigator. Drag Buas onto a chart and enable automated trading.
