Hedging Locking is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 4 that begins each trading cycle by opening a buy and a sell on the same symbol, then manages the combined exposure with a step-based grid and locking multipliers. It can run on several symbols at once and includes a range of money and time controls.
When a new cycle starts on an enabled symbol, the EA places one buy and one sell together. If price moves beyond the current step distance, it adds further hedged positions. The distance between levels comes from a list of step values you define, so the grid can widen as a cycle grows. The aim is to close the whole basket once price oscillates enough for the positions to net out at the profit target.
Because lot size can grow with each level, the settings for multipliers and maximum levels have a large effect on risk.
The EA is multi-symbol. You switch on only the instruments you want, such as major and minor pairs, metals or crypto, provided your broker offers them. Broker prefixes and suffixes can be entered so the EA recognises your symbol names. The concept suits ranging or oscillating conditions and steady spreads. Check the timeframe and symbol behaviour yourself in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before using real funds.
The exact default values can differ, so read them in the input window and test them yourself. The main groups are:
| Group | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Lot settings | Fixed lot or compound lot using balance and a divider |
| System settings | Locking multipliers for the direct and opposite side |
| Dynamic step | List of step distances between levels |
| Max level | Maximum number of levels in one cycle |
| TP and SL | Per-symbol and account-wide targets in money or percent |
| Daily target | Stops new cycles after the goal is reached |
| Time filter | Start and end hours, including sessions that cross midnight |
| Symbols | Enable or disable instruments, set prefix and suffix |
The trading window decides when new cycles may begin, and it supports sessions that run past midnight. An optional forced-close routine can shut all trades at a set time and pause until the next session, which some users choose to avoid overnight exposure. A button on the chart closes all of the EA's positions in one click.
Trading carries risk and past results do not predict future ones. Hedging and grid methods can keep adding levels during a strong one-way move and may produce large drawdown. Test on a demo account first, keep lots small, limit the maximum level and set loss limits you can afford.
Use an account that allows hedging, and confirm margin and spread conditions with your broker.

This listing is for MetaTrader 4. An MT5 build is a separate product and will not run on MT4, so check your platform before buying.
Yes. The EA holds a buy and a sell on the same symbol at the same time, so your account must allow hedging. Confirm this with your broker and test on a demo account first.
You enable the symbols you want in the inputs, including forex pairs, metals and crypto where your broker offers them. If your broker adds a prefix or suffix to symbol names, enter it in the symbol settings. Check the timeframe behaviour in your own tests before going live.
Yes. Grid and hedging methods can keep adding levels while price moves in one direction, which can lead to large drawdown. Use small lots, a limited maximum level count and the loss controls, and remember that past results do not predict future ones.
Copy the expert file into the MQL4/Experts folder through File, Open Data Folder in MT4, restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, then drag the EA onto a chart with automated trading enabled.
There is no figure to rely on here. The needed balance depends on your lot size, the number of levels and the symbols you enable, so work it out on a demo account and with your broker's margin rules.
