My Moving Average Grid Bot is an MT5 expert advisor that combines a moving average crossover signal with a grid of additional orders. It is meant for traders who want the entry and the handling of pullbacks automated, while keeping control of how deep the grid may go.
The expert compares a fast and a slow moving average. When the fast average crosses above the slow one, it opens a buy. When it crosses below, it opens a sell. You choose the period and the calculation method of each average: simple, exponential, smoothed or linear weighted.
If price moves against the first position, the expert can open further trades at a fixed distance in points. The number of levels, the step between them and the lot multiplier are all set by you. A larger multiplier increases exposure quickly, so it needs careful testing.
Each position can carry its own take profit and stop loss distance. Depending on configuration, the grid can close in part or as a whole once price moves back in the direction of the trend. After a basket is closed, the expert can restart and wait for a new signal.
The tool is not tied to one symbol or chart period. It suits instruments and timeframes where moving average crossovers mark clear direction, and it is less suited to choppy, sideways conditions where crossovers come often and reverse. Test several symbols and timeframes in the Strategy Tester before choosing.
The main inputs are listed below. Default values are not given here, so check the inputs tab after attaching the expert and test any change before using it on a live account.
| Input group | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Fast and slow MA | Period of each average |
| MA method | SMA, EMA, SMMA or LWMA |
| Grid levels | Maximum number of additional trades |
| Grid step | Distance between levels, in points |
| Lot multiplier | How lot size grows from level to level |
| Stop loss and take profit | Distance for individual trades |
| Maximum spread | Blocks entries when spread is too wide |
| Slippage | Limit on price deviation at execution |
| Session filter | Hours in which new trades may open |
| Magic number | Identifies the positions the expert manages |
Grid systems add to losing positions, so exposure rises when a trend runs against the first entry for a long time. Plan lot size around the deepest grid you allow, not around the first trade only.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your deposit. Past results, including back-tests, do not predict future results. Test on a demo account first and only trade with money you can afford to lose.

No. It is built for MetaTrader 5 only and will not load in MetaTrader 4. Check that your broker offers an MT5 account before buying.
Extract the download, copy the EX5 file into the MQL5/Experts folder via File > Open Data Folder in MetaTrader 5, then restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator. Drag the expert onto a chart and allow algo trading.
The product does not come with a single correct configuration. Moving average periods, grid step, number of levels and lot multiplier all change risk considerably. Test them in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account for your chosen symbol and timeframe before going live.
Yes. A grid adds positions while price moves against you, so a long one-directional move can build a large open exposure. Limit the number of levels, keep the multiplier modest and make sure your account can handle the drawdown you might see.
It should run on a standard MT5 account that allows expert advisors, but spreads, execution speed, hedging or netting mode and minimum lot size vary. Check these with your broker and use the spread and slippage filters accordingly.
Each instance should use its own magic number so it can track only its own positions. Be aware that several grids running at once add up in total exposure.
