Stoch Trend EA is an automated trading program for MetaTrader 4 that focuses on gold against the US dollar. It uses the stochastic oscillator to decide when to open a position and then manages the trade with a grid and martingale-style averaging approach.
The stochastic oscillator compares the latest close with the recent high-low range and produces two lines that swing between low and high readings. The EA uses this reading as its momentum filter. When the oscillator indicates that momentum has turned in a certain direction, the EA can open a market order in that direction, with the aim of following the short-term trend on the chart.
If price moves against the first position, the EA can add further orders at set distances. This is the grid element. The size of the added orders is increased according to a martingale-style rule, which lowers the average entry price and lets the basket close at a smaller recovery. The same mechanism magnifies exposure, so the account can come under heavy pressure in a long one-way move.
The EA is built for XAUUSD and the developer recommends the M30 timeframe. Typical holding times are described as ranging from a couple of hours to about a day. Other symbols or timeframes are not the intended use, so test carefully if you decide to experiment. Check how your broker names gold, since suffixes and different contract sizes are common.
The table below describes the main stochastic inputs. Defaults are not listed here because they can differ between releases, so read the values shown in the input window after you attach the EA.
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| %K period | Look-back length for the fast stochastic line |
| Slowing | Smoothing applied to the %K line |
| %D period | Length of the signal line average |
| Price field | Whether the calculation uses high/low or close/close values |
| MA method | Type of moving average used for the signal line |
| Lot and grid inputs | Starting size, spacing and growth of added orders; check the input list |
The developer suggests a starting balance of around 1,000 USD, or 10,000 US cents on a cent account, and lists ECN, standard and cent accounts as suitable. These are guidelines only. A grid on gold can need far more margin than a small account provides, so confirm your broker's leverage, minimum lot and stop-out level before choosing a lot size.
Trading carries risk and past results do not predict future ones. Grid and martingale methods can lose a large part of an account in a strong trend, and any figures shown in a back-test or by the developer are not a promise of future performance. Test on a demo account first and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
For continuous operation, run the terminal on a VPS with a stable connection, and check from time to time that the EA is still active and that your broker has not changed trading conditions.

No. This is an MT4 expert advisor and it will not load in MetaTrader 5. If you use MT5, look for a product listed for that platform instead.
The EA is designed for gold, XAUUSD, on the M30 chart. Your broker may name the symbol differently, for example with a suffix, so attach it to the gold chart your broker provides and check that the symbol is accepted in the inputs.
Grid and martingale methods increase position size while price moves against the first trade. This can produce large drawdowns and can lead to a margin call. Trading carries risk and past results do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and use lot sizes you can afford to lose.
The developer lists ECN, standard and cent accounts as suitable. Spread, commission, execution speed and leverage all affect a grid strategy on gold, so compare conditions and test on your own broker before going live.
Extract the downloaded archive, copy the expert file into the MQL4/Experts folder of your MT4 data directory, restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, then drag the EA onto an XAUUSD M30 chart with automated trading enabled.
Yes. The stochastic parameters (%K, slowing, %D, price field and MA method) can be adjusted in the inputs, along with other options the EA offers. Review the full input list in the terminal, as exact defaults can differ between releases.
