Survivor Advanced is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that is built around a trend-following idea: it waits for a pullback within an established trend and then trades in the direction of that trend. It is a modified version of an earlier Survivor expert, with more adjustable settings and a design that expects the user to optimise it.
A moving average defines the trend direction. When a trend is present, the expert looks for a rebound along the inner line of the Bollinger Bands channel, and it wants confirmation from oscillators before it enters. The logic uses three groups of similar signals: one for opening trades, one for closing them and one for additional trades.
Trades can be closed by a fixed stop loss and take profit, by a dynamic take profit, or when price reaches a third Bollinger Bands channel. That channel has its own parameters and is intended to be optimised separately.
The suggested symbols are USDJPY, AUDUSD, GBPJPY and EURCHF, on the M5 or M15 timeframe. Trading hours are on all day by default and can be limited with the time settings. Spreads, swaps and execution speed differ between brokers, so test on your own broker's data.
The default parameters are not meant for live use. The expert needs a prepared set of optimised values for each symbol and timeframe. Look for any preset information that comes with the product or on its discussion page, and verify it in the Strategy Tester before applying it.
| Setting | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Maximum orders | Number of trades that may be open in a series |
| Lot multiplier | How position size grows between trades in a series |
| Trend moving average | Defines the trend direction |
| Bollinger Bands and oscillators | Entry, exit and additional trade signals |
| Stop loss and take profit | Fixed exits, or dynamic take profit instead |
| Trading hours | Restricts the time window for new trades |
Exact value ranges are not listed here, so check the inputs list inside the terminal and work out sensible ranges through optimisation.
Grid and martingale methods can lead to a series of growing positions during a prolonged move against you, which can produce large drawdowns or exhaust the account margin. Keep the maximum orders and lot multiplier conservative, test with realistic spreads and watch the account regularly.
Trading carries risk and you can lose part or all of your capital. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first and only trade with money you can afford to lose.
For continuous operation, many users run the expert on a VPS so that the terminal stays connected.

This is not advised. The default parameters are not intended for live trading, and the expert is meant to be used with settings you have optimised or obtained for your own symbol, timeframe and broker. Test on a demo account or in the Strategy Tester first.
No. This product is built for MetaTrader 5 and cannot be loaded in MetaTrader 4. Check that your broker offers MT5 accounts before buying.
The suggested symbols are USDJPY, AUDUSD, GBPJPY and EURCHF, on the M5 or M15 chart. Other instruments are possible, but they would need their own testing and optimisation, and spreads and execution vary between brokers.
No. Both are controlled by inputs. Setting the maximum number of orders to one keeps a single position per signal, and the lot multiplier controls how quickly position size grows. Higher values raise drawdown risk, so review them carefully.
Copy the expert file into the Experts folder via File, Open Data Folder, MQL5, Experts in MetaTrader 5. Refresh the Navigator or restart the terminal, enable algorithmic trading, then drag the expert onto a chart and set its inputs.
No minimum deposit is stated here. It depends on your lot sizes, the number of orders and your broker's conditions. Work it out during testing and keep enough margin for the deepest drawdown you see.
