Grid Balance is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades with a grid: it opens orders at preset price intervals and manages them together as a basket. It is built for traders who want to set the rules themselves and let the software carry them out consistently.
A grid system places a series of trades spaced a set distance apart. Instead of judging each trade on its own, the EA looks at the combined result of all open positions. When the total profit reaches the target you define, it closes every position and starts a new cycle.
The profit taking loop is the core of the cycle. Once the basket reaches its total target, all positions are closed together and the EA begins again from a fresh starting point.
The auto distance option lets the EA change the spacing between grid levels according to market conditions, which reduces the need to retune the distance by hand. You can also work with distances you choose yourself.
The reference parameter set is made for XAUUSD (gold). The EA can also be configured for symbols such as BTCUSD and forex pairs, but each instrument behaves differently, so spacing, lot size and targets need their own testing. Timeframe use is up to you; check the reference configuration and confirm it in the Strategy Tester.
All the important parameters are adjustable. The exact names and defaults can differ between releases, so read the input list in the terminal and the documentation before going live.
| Area | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Grid distance | The spacing between orders, fixed or adjusted automatically |
| Lot sizing | The size of the first and following positions in the grid |
| Profit target | The total profit at which the basket is closed |
| Risk parameters | Limits on exposure and capital use |
The default values are a starting reference for XAUUSD, meant for testing and evaluation. Review and validate them against your own account size and risk tolerance.
Grid methods can accumulate several open positions while price moves against them, which increases exposure and drawdown. Lot size, spacing and the maximum number of positions deserve careful thought before any live use.
Trading carries risk and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. This EA does not remove risk; outcomes depend on your settings, risk management and market conditions. Trade only with money you can afford to lose.
Once running, you can monitor positions and turn the EA on or off from the MT5 mobile app, as long as the terminal stays connected.

It is intended for a hedging account, because a grid can hold several positions on the same symbol at once. Check with your broker that your MT5 account is a hedging account before attaching the EA.
No. This product is an MT5 expert advisor and cannot be loaded in MetaTrader 4. You need a MetaTrader 5 terminal.
The included reference parameters are aimed at XAUUSD, and that is the main intended market. The EA can also be configured for other symbols such as BTCUSD or forex pairs, but you would need to review and test every setting for that instrument yourself.
There is no fixed figure. The needed deposit and leverage depend on grid distance, lot size and how many positions you allow. Test different configurations on a demo account and in the Strategy Tester, and size your account so you can tolerate drawdown.
It is not mandatory, but a stable, low-latency VPS is recommended so the EA keeps running and managing the grid without interruptions from your home connection or computer.
You can follow your trades and switch the EA on or off from the MT5 mobile app on Android and iOS, provided the terminal it runs on stays online.
