Gap Trading Robot is an automated expert advisor for MetaTrader 4. It watches for price gaps on the chart and opens trades based on them, with several options for how positions are sized and closed.
A gap appears when price opens noticeably away from the previous close, for example after a weekend or a quiet period. The robot reads these gaps on the chart it is attached to and uses them as the basis for its entries. Because gaps depend on each broker's price feed, the same chart can show slightly different gaps with different brokers, and the trades will vary accordingly.
The author suggests EURUSD on the H4 chart as a starting point. The robot can be attached to other forex pairs too. On lower timeframes it tends to open a lot of small trades, which can increase costs such as spread and commission. Whether that suits you is a matter of testing on your own broker.
The robot has more inputs than the main modes above. Exact names, defaults and ranges are shown in the input window when you attach it to a chart, so read each one before trading. Check these in particular:
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Lot size | Fixed lot or lot increase, and how fast size grows |
| Take profit and stop loss | Distances suited to the pair and timeframe |
| Trailing stop | Whether it is enabled and how far it trails |
| Martingale | Whether it is enabled and the maximum number of added positions |
Martingale and lot-increase modes can enlarge losses quickly, especially with high leverage. Run the robot in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account first. The author also suggests a cent account if you are unsure. Use position sizes you can afford, and do not leave it unattended without a limit on total exposure.
Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of losing money. Past results, including back-tests, do not predict future results. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose.
Check with your broker about lot limits, margin and whether hedging or multiple positions are allowed on your account type before you start.

No. This listing is for MetaTrader 4 only. It will not load in MT5, so make sure your broker offers an MT4 account before you buy.
The author suggests EURUSD on the H4 chart as a starting point, although the robot can be attached to other pairs. Lower timeframes tend to produce many small trades, so test them carefully in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account first.
Not necessarily. Gaps depend on the price feed, so they can differ between brokers, and that changes when the robot opens trades. Test it on the broker and account type you plan to use.
Martingale and lot-increase modes raise position size after losses, which can lead to large drawdowns and account loss. Use them only if you understand the risk, and try them on a demo or cent account first.
Copy the expert advisor file into the MQL4/Experts folder through File > Open Data Folder in MT4, restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, then drag it onto a chart. Make sure Algo Trading is switched on.
The author suggests testing on a cent account if you are unsure. Check the minimum lot size and margin requirements with your broker, and review the lot settings before going live.
