Hector EA is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades gold (XAUUSD) with grid baskets. Rather than relying on one set of rules, it bundles 74 separate strategies, and you decide which of them run on your account.
Each strategy waits for its own entry condition and manages its own basket of orders. Some are designed to open short, frequent series, while others trigger less often and allow a deeper grid. Because the strategies differ in grid depth and in how quickly they react, the load is spread over different market phases instead of depending on one scenario.
On a fresh install every strategy is disabled, so the expert advisor will not open a single trade by itself. You need a set file that enables a chosen mix of strategies. The mix is tuned separately for each broker's price feed, so contact the author with your broker name and account type to get a matching file.
The expert advisor is meant for XAUUSD only, on a symbol quoted with two decimal places. The chart timeframe is not critical, so any timeframe can be used. It is intended for hedging accounts with ECN or RAW pricing and low spread. Results on other account types or on brokers with wider spreads may differ, so test on tick data first.
| Setting | What to know |
|---|---|
| Set file | Required before any trade is opened; request one for your broker |
| Strategy switches | Each of the 74 strategies can be enabled or disabled |
| Lot size | Scale it to your deposit; the author suggests starting small and adding gradually as the balance grows |
| Stop loss | Percentage of balance, always active, applied per strategy |
| Basket hedging | Optional; check the set file for its default |
Exact input names and default values can change, so read the inputs shown in your terminal and the author's guidance instead of relying on this page for numbers.
Grid systems can hold losing baskets for a long time, and a stop being hit is a normal part of how this one works. Several stops in a row can happen in a strongly trending market, and recovering the balance can take days or weeks. A bigger lot or a looser stop deepens drawdown, and that risk stays with you.
Trading carries risk and you can lose part or all of your deposit. Backtests and past results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account and use only funds you can afford to lose.
A VPS is recommended so the terminal stays online while baskets are open.

All strategies are switched off by default, so the expert advisor stays idle until a set file is loaded. The strategy mix is tuned to each broker's price feed, so ask the author for a set file that matches your broker and account type, then load it through the Inputs tab and confirm that algorithmic trading is allowed.
No. This product is built for MetaTrader 5 and will not run on MetaTrader 4. You need an MT5 account with hedging mode enabled.
It is designed for hedging accounts with ECN or RAW pricing and zero or low spread, and for gold quoted with two decimal places. Behaviour can differ on other brokers, so test it on tick data in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before using real funds.
Yes. Lot size and stop level can be adjusted to your deposit, and each of the 74 strategies can be switched on or off. The stop loss cannot be disabled. It is a percentage of balance and applies to each strategy separately. A larger lot or a wider stop increases drawdown, so check the author's recommended sizing for your balance.
A VPS is recommended because grid baskets need the terminal running continuously and a stable connection. Without one, a lost connection can leave open baskets unmanaged.
No. Trading carries risk, stop losses will be hit from time to time, and past or tested results do not predict future ones.
