Hedging Locking is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that starts every trading cycle with a buy and a sell on the same symbol, then manages the growing basket of positions using a stepped grid. It can run on several symbols at once and includes limits for the basket, the day and the trading hours.
When a new cycle begins on an enabled symbol, the EA opens one buy and one sell together. If price moves away from the entry by more than the current step distance, it adds another pair of hedged positions. Lot sizes are scaled with two separate multipliers: one for the side that follows the move and one for the opposite side. An optional fixed add-on lot can be combined with the multiplier for progressive sizing.
The idea is to let price oscillate so that the basket as a whole can close at its profit target. The step distances come from a list of levels you define, and a maximum level setting caps how many times the grid can expand in a single cycle.
You choose which instruments are active, including forex majors and minors, metals and crypto, as long as your broker offers them. Prefix and suffix fields help match the broker's symbol naming. The product describes itself as suited to ranging, mean-reverting conditions, so test it on symbols and periods where price tends to oscillate. Check the timeframe and symbol behaviour yourself in the Strategy Tester, since the EA is not tied to a single fixed chart period.
The exact input names and defaults can differ between builds, so read the input tab after loading the EA. The main groups are listed below.
| Group | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Lot settings | Fixed lot, or compound lot calculated from balance and a divider |
| System settings | Locking multipliers for the direct side and the opposite side |
| Dynamic step | The 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 once the day's goal is reached |
| Time filter | Start and end hours, including sessions that cross midnight |
| Symbols | Enable or disable instruments, plus prefix and suffix |
There is also an optional routine that closes all trades at a set time and pauses until the next session, and a chart button that closes all positions opened by the EA.
Grid and hedging systems can add positions while price keeps moving in one direction. In a strong trend the open loss may grow large before the basket recovers, or it may not recover at all. Keep lots small, keep the maximum level low, and use the loss limits and forced close options.
Trading carries risk, and past results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and only trade amounts you can afford to lose.
For continuous operation many users run the EA on a VPS. Check minimum deposit and leverage requirements with your broker, because they depend on the symbols and lot sizes you choose.

No. The method depends on holding a buy and a sell on the same symbol at the same time, so you need an MT5 account with the hedging position mode. Ask your broker which mode your account uses before you buy.
Yes. The symbol section lets you enable the instruments you want and enter a prefix or suffix so the names match your broker's Market Watch. Check the exact spelling of each symbol in your own platform.
Copy the expert advisor file into the MQL5/Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder in MT5. Restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, drag the EA onto a chart, and make sure Algo Trading is switched on. Allow automated trading in the EA properties as well.
There is no single set that suits every account. Begin with small lots, a low maximum level, modest take profit targets and the account stop loss enabled. Run the EA on a demo account or in the Strategy Tester with your broker's data and adjust from there.
Yes. Grid and hedging methods can keep adding positions when price moves strongly in one direction, and the open loss can grow quickly. Use the level cap and the loss limits, and size positions so that you can accept the worst case.
This page covers the MT5 build only. If you trade on MT4, check the store for a separate listing and do not attach this file to an MT4 terminal, as it will not run there.
