Raptor is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades the US30 index using a grid-based method. It runs without manual input once it is attached to a chart, and it is aimed at traders who want an automated approach to a single index rather than a multi-symbol system.
The EA places and manages positions in a grid structure. According to the author, entries are designed to avoid aggressive trades close to market tops and bottoms, and the logic aims to take advantage of different kinds of price movement, including moves around support and resistance areas. The exact entry rules are not published in detail, so treat the behaviour as something to confirm in the strategy tester and on a demo account.
To limit exposure during sharp volatility, the EA does not open new trades around major market opening hours. Because this depends on time, check your broker's server time zone and any time settings in the inputs so the pause lines up with the sessions you expect.
Raptor can be used with two accounts working together. If the first account has a poor day, the second account can begin trading from a different entry point. This gives a second route into the market, but it also means two accounts carry exposure at once.
Exact input names and values can differ between set files, so load the preset supplied by the author and review each field rather than relying on defaults. The areas worth checking are listed below.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Lot size | Match it to your balance and your tolerance for drawdown |
| Grid spacing and depth | Understand how many positions can be open at once |
| Session filter | Confirm times against your broker's server clock |
| Symbol name | Match any broker suffix or alternative US30 name |
| Master or slave role | Set only if you run two accounts |
Grid systems can hold several positions open while price moves against them, which can lead to large floating losses. The author states that no martingale is used, but you should still check how position size and grid depth behave in testing. Use a balance that suits your broker's lot rules and margin requirements, and consider withdrawing funds rather than steadily raising exposure.
Trading carries risk, and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including any shown in signals or backtests, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first.
If you plan to use the master-slave option, repeat the steps on the second account and check how the two roles are configured before going live. Support and set files are offered by the author through their own channels.

No. This is an MT5 expert advisor and it will not load in MetaTrader 4. You need a MetaTrader 5 terminal and an account that offers US30 for trading.
It is built for US30, the Dow Jones index. Some brokers name the symbol differently, for example with a suffix or as DJ30, so check the symbol name on your account and set the EA accordingly before running it.
Look for a broker with a low spread on US30 and support for a 0.01 minimum lot. Also check stop levels, execution speed and the broker's server time, because the EA avoids trading around major market opening hours.
Copy the EX5 file into the MQL5/Experts folder through File, Open Data Folder in MetaTrader 5, then restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator. Open a US30 chart, drag the EA onto it, load the set file if you have one and enable Algo Trading.
It is an optional arrangement in which two accounts run the EA together. If the first account has not done as hoped during the day, the second can start from a different entry point. It adds complexity and does not remove risk, so test it on demo accounts first.
The author lists a minimum and a recommended balance on the product page, and the right figure depends on your broker, lot size and drawdown tolerance. Check the current recommendation and run the EA on a demo account before using real money.
