General Questions
How do your Expert Advisors differ from each other?
All Expert Advisors with the word Grid in their name share some basic functionality, which expands as the Expert Advisor becomes more expensive. That is, the more expensive the Expert Advisor, the more functional it is and the more strategies it can implement.
At the moment, the hierarchy of advisors is as follows:
What is the difference between versions for MT4 and for MT5?
Versions for MT5 are a little more functional and are updated more often.
How to purchase your Expert Advisor?
Only via MetaTrader Market: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/498
There is no other way to buy my Expert Advisors!
Any other offers on third-party resources are fake.
What are the limitations of the Expert Advisors?
Each of my advisors fully fulfills the declared functionality without any restrictions in its work.
But there are limits on the number of advisor activations controlled by the MetaTrader Market service.

Is it possible to develop additional functionality on request?
It is possible, but… if I have free time for this and without the source code and without obligation to further distribute the developed functionality.
How much is the source code?
The source code is not for sale.
I am getting error alerts, what should I do about it?
I am interested in correcting any bugs! If you get any error alerts or you yourself think that some calculations are incorrect, please let me know about it in the comments to the robot or in private messages.
If these errors are really related to the work of my Expert Adviser, I will definitely fix them!
Is there a manual for your Expert Advisors?
There are no manuals yet, but in the description for each adviser there are corresponding video instructions where you can clearly see how everything works. At the same time, all settings should be intuitive, one has only to start trying to put them into practice.
p.s. The more expensive the Expert Advisor, the more trading opportunities it has… especially when you consider the combination of their various combinations. Writing a complete manual for it is a separate complex task that requires a huge amount of time. I don’t have it yet. But there is a comment service for each EA and I try to answer each one on any specific questions. I post the most popular questions here in the FAQ.
Trading Questions
How many dollars can I start with this expert?
Depends on the chosen strategy. There can be many strategies. Each strategy has different risks.
Orders are placed with a delay or not placed at all, what should I do?
99% this is a problem with your broker. Try another account.
How to quickly change the lot for each order in the grid?
Lots cannot be changed on already placed orders. There is no such technical possibility. To change the lot, you must first delete the order and place a new one with the desired lot size. That is, you need to reset the number of orders in the settings, fix it and then re-set the required number of orders with a new lot.
How to quickly delete all orders and positions of the adviser?
Set zeros in the settings, where the number of orders is indicated. This will remove pending orders. You can delete market orders using a special button that must be enabled in the settings, or delete them manually. After that, you can remove the EA from the chart.
Why are some orders placed inaccurately (with a price error)?
The work of the adviser is based on pending orders, everything else depends on slippage when the order turns into a position. That is, if the account works in the Market Execution mode and slippage occurs when a pending order is triggered. The amount of slippage is the price error.
If you use an Expert Advisor on an Instant Execution account, all positions will be placed with the required accuracy.
How to use a trailing stop for each individual position?
Trailing-Stop is the movement of the Stop-Loss line. A stop loss for each individual order in the grid is set in the EA settings. Accordingly, if you set a Trailing-Stop for the selected order, it will be constantly reset, because the EA tightly controls its settings. In fact, all settings are checked at each timeframe change and for some other situations.
Stop-Loss control can be disabled in the User Grid version and above.
How to run several Expert Advisors on one instrument (currency pair)?
On one chart, you can run only one Expert Advisor. But for one instrument, you can open any number of charts. For example, if you open two EURUSD charts, then you can attach a different adviser to each.
You can also do it if you need to run one Expert Advisor on one instrument but with different settings (for example, temporary ones).
But for each EA you must use a different magic number!
Can you give me the best settings so that I always win?
1. Forex is not a game. This is a job that combines the trader’s personal experience, the ability to analyze various data from various sources and his psychological fortitude. You can earn on Forex only with such settings, and the concept of “winning back” is generally inappropriate here.
2. There are no Expert Advisors that will always automatically earn for you by default. The settings can be successful for a while, but if you apply them thoughtlessly and for any situation, one day you can very quickly drain the entire deposit… sometimes in minutes.
3. I have never taken and will not take responsibility for someone else’s capital and I do not impose my strategies on anyone. The capabilities of my robots can only help you automate your own strategies… and the more settings a robot has, the more strategies it can implement (with full or partial automation).
As a result, I can give only one advice on the settings:
A trader who has matured to start using automated trading meaningfully must definitely learn how to use a strategy tester. It is this feature that allows you to most accurately select settings for predicted situations. My robots are specially optimized for work in the tester and pass the tests comparably quickly. At the same time, if speed is really a priority (for example, when selecting settings during optimization), you need to disable the display of various panels and buttons on the chart for the duration of the test.
