A Three-Currency Correlation Hedge EA with Grid Orders

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This brief description outlines a MetaTrader 5 expert advisor that forms two currency pairs from three currencies and trades them as a correlated pair, with EUR/USD and EUR/GBP given as an example. It opens four initial orders across the two pairs, split between long and short positions, then waits for price movement in one direction before building a grid of additional orders.

The described setup is a hedging and grid approach based on relationships between currency pairs. The note says the inputs can include at least three and at most five currencies, but does not explain how pairs are selected, how correlation is measured, what triggers grid additions, or how positions are exited. It gives no backtest, risk controls, or performance evidence, so key implementation and exposure risks remain unspecified.

Key ideas

  • The EA uses three currencies to construct two related currency pairs.
  • It begins with four orders split across long and short directions on the pairs.
  • After prices move in one direction, it adds a grid of orders.
  • The description omits correlation rules, exit logic, risk controls, and performance evidence.
