VR Locker is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that manages trades as a lock. It holds a buy and a sell of equal volume at the same time, then adds further orders in a grid as price moves, so the two sides are balanced against each other rather than closed at a loss.
The advisor starts by opening two market positions in opposite directions with the same lot size. When price moves, it places additional orders along the direction of travel. As one side moves into profit, the other side moves into loss, and the unrealised result on the profitable side is meant to offset the drawdown on the losing side. This is the idea behind what the author calls a positive lock.
The advisor provides several lot calculation methods, ranging from a fixed starting lot to progressive sizing, and a range of distance types that control how far apart grid orders are placed. Which combination fits depends on the symbol, volatility and your account, so review each option before trading.
Several averaging modes are available. The exit level is calculated with costs such as commission and swap in mind, instead of being a simple price offset. Check how each mode behaves in the Strategy Tester before using it on a live account.
The advisor is not tied to one instrument. It can be attached to any symbol your broker offers, including forex pairs, metals, indices or crypto where available. The timeframe is up to you. Because it needs to hold opposite positions on the same symbol, use a hedging account. Contract size, minimum lot, stop level and swap rules differ between brokers, so check them first.
Exact defaults can change between releases, so read the inputs tab in your terminal. The main groups to review are shown below.
| Group | What to check |
|---|---|
| Lot calculation | Method, starting lot and any progression rule |
| Distance | Distance type and the spacing between grid orders |
| Averaging | Averaging mode and how the exit level is set |
| Filters | Maximum spread and new-bar option |
| Notifications | Telegram, push, email and alert switches |
Grid and averaging methods can open many positions and use a large share of margin if price keeps moving in one direction. A lock does not remove that exposure. Size the starting lot to your deposit, know the maximum number of orders you permit, and watch margin level.
Trading carries risk, including the loss of your deposit. Past results, whether in tests or live, do not predict future ones. Test on a demo account first.
Running it on a VPS can help keep the connection stable, since the advisor manages open positions continuously.

This listing is for the MetaTrader 5 build and installs only on MT5. An MT4 build is a separate product, so check that you are buying the version that matches your terminal.
Yes, in practice. The lock logic depends on holding a buy and a sell on the same symbol at once, which requires a hedging account type. Netting accounts merge opposite positions, so confirm your account type with your broker before using it.
There is no fixed broker list. It can be attached to any symbol your broker provides, but spreads, swaps, commissions and contract sizes differ, so test each symbol on a demo account before going live.
Inputs cover lot calculation, distance, averaging, filters and notifications. Because suitable values depend on the symbol, account size and risk tolerance, review every input and test with the Strategy Tester and a demo account instead of assuming a default fits your case.
No. A lock can reduce exposure to direction for a time, but the grid and averaging can still build large positions and use margin. Trading carries risk and past results do not predict future ones.
