Cross Hedge EA is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that focuses on short-term trading of gold. It opens orders in both directions, then manages the open set of positions with a zone recovery approach until the combined result reaches a target.
The EA starts a cycle with an initial position and places opposite pending orders at a fixed distance, called the hedge gap. If price moves against the first trade and triggers the opposite order, the position size increases according to your lot settings. The aim is for price to eventually move far enough that the whole group of trades can be closed at a combined profit or at a controlled level.
The main target is XAUUSD on short charts such as M1, M3 or M5. The author also describes it as suitable for other volatile instruments, for example major indices, metals and some forex pairs. Treat any symbol other than gold as something you must test yourself, since spreads, contract sizes and trading hours differ between brokers.
Three time filters let you limit trading to chosen bands that match the Tokyo, London and US sessions. Make sure you know your broker's server time before you set these.
The exact values depend on the symbol and your account, so check them before running the EA live. The main inputs are:
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Initial lot | Size of the first trade in a cycle |
| Incremental mode | Adds a fixed amount to the previous lot |
| Lot martingale | Multiplier applied to the next order size |
| Hedge gap pips | Distance between the buy and sell orders |
| Close money | Account currency amount at which all orders are closed |
| Close margin | Closes the set based on margin used |
| Start and end time | Trading window for new cycles |
Hedging with growing lot sizes can build large exposure during a long one-way move. Begin with a small lot, test on a demo account, and confirm how much margin a full cycle would need on your broker. Spread, slippage and execution speed matter a great deal for scalping.
Trading carries risk, and past results do not predict future ones. Recovery and martingale-style systems can lose a large part of an account. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

This listing is for the MetaTrader 5 build and will not load in MetaTrader 4. If you trade on MT4, look for a separate MT4 product and do not try to copy the files across.
The strategy opens buy and sell positions on the same symbol, so your MT5 account should allow hedging. Check this with your broker before buying. Account currency, leverage, spread and commission also affect how the system behaves, so confirm them as well.
The defaults are a starting point for testing, not a finished setup. Lot size, hedge gap and the closing targets depend on the symbol, the broker and your balance. Run the Strategy Tester and a demo account first, and ask the author for guidance on inputs for your symbol.
There is no single safe figure, because lot growth in a hedging system can use margin quickly. Work out your own limits in the tester with the lot settings you intend to use, and keep the starting lot small. Check the author's current recommendation as well.
The account protection input can close all trades at a set drawdown, which some users find helpful. However, prop firms have their own rules on hedging, grid and recovery methods, so read those rules first and confirm that this style is allowed.
Open MetaTrader 5, choose File then Open Data Folder, and copy the EA file into MQL5/Experts. Restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, drag the EA onto a chart and enable Algo Trading.
