Sentinel is a multi-pair expert advisor for MetaTrader 5. It is attached to a single chart and can then monitor and trade a small portfolio of currency pairs, combining selective entries with a controlled grid and account-level risk limits.
The EA does not try to open a trade on every price move. A new automated entry is allowed only when several conditions agree: the market setup, execution conditions, available margin and the limits set for the whole portfolio.
A directional engine decides whether a trade is worth taking. Only after that does the grid act as a management layer. The first position opens with its own take-profit and stop-loss. As price develops, the EA either accepts the stop or moves to controlled basket management, within limits on spacing, position count, free margin and exposure.
A portfolio-level guard coordinates risk across all configured pairs. Even if several pairs signal at once, the number of active baskets can be restricted, which helps limit correlated exposure across USD, EUR and CAD pairs. Depending on configuration it can monitor:
If a configured equity threshold is reached, the EA can close all baskets it manages. Actual closing prices depend on broker execution, liquidity, spread and slippage.
The EA is attached to one EURUSD M5 chart. From there it can handle EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDCAD, EURCAD and NZDCAD, with CADJPY and EURGBP as optional additions. The store tags also mention gold, but gold is not among the pairs described, so confirm symbol support in the inputs before relying on it.
The pair-specific configurations are built into the EA, so there is no need to load a separate set file. The items below are the ones you should review. Exact input names and defaults can differ, so check the Inputs tab.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Symbol names | Match your broker's naming, including any prefix or suffix |
| Lot sizes | Set to suit your balance and risk tolerance |
| Optional pairs | Decide whether to enable the additional pairs |
| Portfolio limits | Maximum baskets, drawdown and free-margin rules |
Grid and basket methods can hold several positions at once and may suffer large floating losses in a sustained one-way move. Correlation between pairs can also reduce the benefit of diversification. Use conservative lot sizes, and check the minimum deposit and leverage suited to your broker.
Trading carries risk, and past results, whether from backtests or live signals, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and only trade with money you can afford to lose.
Run it on a demo account first, ideally on a VPS, so you can see how it behaves with your broker's spreads and execution.

It is built for MetaTrader 5 only. It will not load in MetaTrader 4, so make sure your broker offers an MT5 account before buying.
No. The EA is designed to be attached to a single EURUSD M5 chart and to monitor and trade its configured pairs from there. Each pair must still be available in your broker's Market Watch under the correct symbol name.
The pair-specific configurations are described as built in, so a separate set file should not be needed. You should still check your broker's symbol names, then set lot sizes and portfolio limits to suit your account.
The store lists gold among its tags, but the pairs described for the portfolio are forex pairs. Check the product's input settings and the original product page for gold support before assuming it trades XAUUSD.
Any grid or basket approach can accumulate several open positions during a prolonged adverse move. The EA includes limits on spacing, position count, free margin and portfolio exposure, but these reduce risk and do not remove it. Start with small lot sizes on a demo account.
Use a broker with reliable execution, tight spreads and the required symbols. Spread, slippage and symbol suffixes can all affect results, so test on a demo account with your own broker first.
