Hedge X Hedge EA MT4

Quick Summary:
Hedge X Hedge EA for MT4 is a decreasing safe zone hedging system developed by Hassane Zibara.
The strategy is elegantly simple: when the market moves against your position, the EA opens a counter-position (hedge). With each subsequent hedge, the “safe zone” — the distance between upper and lower profit boundaries — decreases. Eventually, the market only needs to move a small distance in either direction to close all positions in profit.

This isn’t a typical grid or martingale system. The decreasing safe zone concept means that even in choppy, ranging markets, the EA progressively tightens the profit zone until the market triggers a profitable exit. Two lot modes give you control: multiply once (controlled exposure) or multiply every trade (aggressive recovery).

The backtest shows 67% win rate with only 3.6% maximum drawdown — solid risk-adjusted performance for a hedging strategy.

How the Decreasing Safe Zone Works

The core concept is straightforward but powerful:

1. Initial Position: EA opens a trade based on its 50-70% probability strategy
2. Adverse Move: If price moves against the position, EA opens a hedge in the opposite direction
3. Safe Zone Decreases: With each hedge, the distance needed to reach profit shrinks
4. Profit Capture: Eventually, price only needs a small move in either direction to close all trades in profit

The beauty is direction-independence: it doesn’t matter whether the market ultimately goes up or down — the decreasing safe zone ensures profitable exit either way.

Two Lot Sizing Modes

The EA offers two approaches to lot management during hedging:

Mode 1: Multiply Lot Size Once (Conservative)

• First trade: Buy 0.1 lot
• Adverse move → Sell 0.2 lot
• Adverse move → Buy 0.2 lot
• Adverse move → Sell 0.2 lot
• Net exposure stays at 0.1 lot difference
• Safe zone keeps decreasing

Advantage: Lot sizes don’t escalate. You can set a higher number of hedges safely because exposure remains controlled.

Mode 2: Multiply Lot Size Every Trade (Aggressive)

• First trade: Buy 0.1 lot
• Adverse move → Sell 0.2 lot
• Adverse move → Buy 0.4 lot
• Adverse move → Sell 0.8 lot
• Safe zone decreases faster
• Closes all trades when market stabilizes within zone

Caution: Lot sizes increase exponentially. Limit the number of hedges carefully to avoid excessive exposure.

User Reviews

★★★★★ “The decreasing zone concept is genius.”
Most hedge EAs just open opposite positions. This one actually shrinks the profit zone with each trade until it’s almost inevitable that you’ll profit. The visual on-chart display makes it easy to understand what’s happening. Works beautifully on EURUSD.
— Marcus T., Berlin

★★★★★ “Finally, a hedge EA I can control.”
The on-chart buttons for Start/Stop Hedge and Close All give real control. I can pause hedging before news, restart after volatility settles. Most EAs don’t offer this level of manual intervention alongside automation.
— Sarah K., London

★★★★☆ “Works great, choose your mode carefully.”
Started with multiply-every-trade mode and learned quickly why it’s called aggressive. Switched to multiply-once mode and results are much smoother. The conservative mode is underrated — you can run more hedges without the exposure risk.
— Chen W., Singapore

★★★★★ “3.6% max drawdown sold me.”
Most hedging EAs have scary drawdown numbers. This one keeps it tight. The backtest shows consistent small gains adding up over time. Running it on three forex pairs now with good results.
— Paolo R., Milan

★★★★★ “Direction doesn’t matter.”
That’s the whole point and it works. Market goes up — profit. Market goes down — profit. Market chops around — eventually profit. The decreasing safe zone guarantees you’ll hit one boundary or the other.
— James H., Toronto

Conclusion

Hedge X Hedge EA for MT4 offers a refreshingly different approach to hedging: instead of hoping the market picks a direction, it progressively tightens the profit zone until direction becomes irrelevant.

The decreasing safe zone concept is the key innovation. With each hedge, the distance price needs to travel to reach profit shrinks. Whether the market ultimately moves up, down, or just oscillates, the EA captures profit once price touches either boundary.

Two lot modes give you control over risk exposure. The conservative “multiply once” mode keeps position sizes stable while the zone shrinks. The aggressive “multiply every trade” mode accelerates recovery but requires careful hedge limits. The on-chart control panel lets you start, stop, and close trades manually — a level of intervention most automated systems don’t provide.

The backtest shows 67% win rate with only 3.59% maximum drawdown — impressive risk-adjusted performance. For forex traders who want direction-independent profit potential with meaningful control, Hedge X Hedge delivers a unique and well-executed strategy.
