VolumeHedger EA for MT5 (Volume Hedger)
VolumeHedger EA is a robust, volume-driven hedging system for MT5. Instead of guessing direction, it opens a bi-directional loop once volume conditions are met, then manages exposure with smart position limits, spoofing-resistant exits, slippage control, and dynamic pips adjustment. You can plug in your own indicator to define the first entry—no need to buy multiple EAs for entries.
🔑 Highlights
- Custom-Indicator Entries — point the EA to any indicator (path + buffer index + shift) and let that define the first trade of the loop.
- Hedged Martingale Loop — opens Buy & Sell as needed; caps are enforced by maximum positions and risk rules.
- Spoofing Protection — hides the real TP; closes positions the moment price hits target to reduce manipulation risk.
- Dynamic Volume Multiplier — scales via more trades rather than oversized lots. Balance- or equity-based modes; remembers the starting baseline.
- Execution Resilience — slippage detection updates TP/SL/prices on the fly; spread guard and critical spread pause during spikes.
- Environment Filters — bank-holiday filter (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD, CHF, AUD, NZD, CNY), time permissions, first-75-minutes block, gap protection for weekends, and market cooldown timers.
- Multi-Symbol & Multi-EA — block or allow new entries using Magic Number lists; coordinate with your other EAs.
🧩 How the Loop Works
- First Trade — launched by volume threshold or your chosen entry strategy (Candle+ATR, ADX, or Custom Indicator).
- Bi-Directional Hedging — EA opens opposite-side positions as rules require; can close older legs to minimise loss.
- Risk Envelope — loop ends only at target profit or when position limit/margin constraint is reached.
- Re-Analysis — after the first loop, the EA re-evaluates to reduce further risk.
🛡️ Spoofing Protection
This protection hides the true TP level from the broker/exchange and manually exits at target, helping avoid adverse micro-manipulation. Sudden exits may include slippage—often favourable when momentum is with you.
🎚️ Dynamic Volume Multiplier
Goal: increase the number of positions as balance grows, not the lot size. Choose Balance-based or Equity-based scaling. The EA remembers the smart starting balance, so withdrawals/deposits don’t distort sizing.
🔌 Entry Strategies (use your indicator)
- Candle Pattern + ATR
- ADX
- Custom Indicator — set indicator path, buffer index (0,1,2…), and shift (0=current, 1=closed bar). Ideal for catching vertical moves.
🕒 Time Permissions & Weekend Gap Protection
- Trading schedule — permit hours like
03:30–21:30
or overnight spans; block selected weekdays (1–7). - First 75 minutes — EA blocks the first trade early each day to avoid chaotic opens.
- Gap Protection — if true, places a hedge for weekend carry; removes it at a set hour and updates original TP/SL based on outcome.
🧊 Market Cooldown & Bank Holidays
- After Trade Pending Timer — enforce a cooling period (e.g., 6 H1 candles) after a loop closes.
- Holiday Filter — pause X days before/after major holidays (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD, CHF, AUD, NZD, CNY).
📐 Dynamic Pips Adjustment
Automatically adapts Distance and TP as price regimes shift (great for XAUUSD long backtests). Configure Baseline Price, Price Interval (e.g. 200), and Percentage (e.g. 10–13%). Example: if gold rises from $3,000 to $3,300 and Distance is 1,300 points with 10% adjustment, it will auto-increase to ~1,430 points.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum balance required?
From $10 with the included set file. The on-chart calculator shows the minimum for your distance/positions.
Does it use martingale or grid?
It employs a hedged martingale loop with a strict position limit. The Dynamic Volume Multiplier prefers more trades over larger lots.
Which instruments are best?
Forex, Gold, Indices, Crypto. Works well on assets with sharp swings or durable trends.
Do I need a VPS?
Latency tolerant, but a VPS is recommended for 24/5 reliability.
Can I coordinate with other EAs?
Yes — use Blocked/Allowed Magic Number lists to sequence entries and control exposure across charts.
Is it prop-firm friendly?
Depends on the firm. Some restrict hedging or martingale. A funded-account set is included; check rules first.

Sacha F. D. C. — “Algorithm is efficient and the dev is super responsive. Install support was excellent.”
wda24729 — “Ran it on demo for a month, then live on four accounts. The loop logic + sets for gold and BTC have been solid. Dev answers questions fast.”
Barış Ş. — “I’ve followed Furkan’s work for over a year. He builds practical algos and keeps iterating. VolumeHedger is his most versatile tool.”
Emily R. — “Custom indicator entry is the killer feature. I plug my own signals in; EA handles the loop and risk.”
Victor M. — “Spoofing protection + holiday/gap filters saved me a few times. Latency isn’t fussy; still I run a VPS for uptime.”
⚙️ Usage Recommendations
