Pips Maven EA for MT4 by Andriy Sydoruk
Pips Maven is an autonomous trend-analysis and execution robot for MetaTrader 4. It reads market structure using geometric virtual patterns and manages positions with a controlled series/grid engine: pending orders, virtual/real SL–TP, breakeven and trailing. No external indicators needed.
Note: All backtests are illustrative. Live results depend on your broker feed, slippage, spreads and risk settings.
🔑 Why Pips Maven stands out
- All-in-one autonomy — nothing extra to install; runs fully automated.
- Portfolio mindset — intended for majors; curate a small basket (1–3 pairs) with dedicated risk per pair.
- Controlled averaging — Series Grid with caps (Limit Trades, MaxLot, Grid Step); not a blind martingale.
- Risk toolbox — spread/slippage guard, virtual TP/SL (percent of deposit), real TP/SL, BE & trailing.
- Pending logic — configurable levels and trailing for pending orders before activation.
- No babysitting — optimized to adapt rules as regimes shift.
🧩 Strategy overview
The EA classifies incoming price/volume data and matches it to its virtual pattern library. When trend/anti-trend conditions align, it places an initial order and, if needed, builds a limited series around the move with fixed steps. Exits prefer virtual TP/SL to hide intent, with real SL/TP as hard backstops. Profits are then protected via breakeven → trailing.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does it rely on classic martingale?
No. It uses a capped series/grid with fixed steps and limits. Control exposure via Percent Risk, Limit Trades, Limit MaxLot.
How many pairs should I run?
1–3 concurrently is ideal to keep margin and risk predictable.
What about news?
Reduce risk or pause around high-impact events; the spread/virtual stops help, but discretion is wise.
Is it set-and-forget?
Execution is automatic, but you should still monitor margin, spread and logs—especially the first weeks.
⭐ Trader Reviews
Viktor H. — “No indicators to juggle. The series limits keep things sane—exactly what I wanted.”
Amelia R. — “Pending + virtual stops are clutch. My fills improved during spreads spikes.”
Diego M. — “Ran EURUSD/GBPUSD on H1; equity line looks like the reports once risk was trimmed.”
Lina K. — “Logging is thorough. Easy to audit what it’s doing and why.”
Anton S. — “Grid, but controlled. The caps and BE/trailing keep DD contained.”
⚙️ Usage Recommendations
- Start with low Percent Risk (e.g., 0.2–0.5%/trade) and Limit Trades modest.
- Keep Grid-Step Min sensible; avoid over-dense series.
- Run on a VPS close to your broker; enforce SpreadMax.
- Prefer virtual TP/SL (with real stops as hard failsafes).
- Forward-test per pair for a few weeks before scaling.
