Quantora Smart Grid MT5

Volatility-adaptive, buy-only Gold grid EA with linked Myfxbook performance evidence

Quantora Smart Grid is a buy-only grid Expert Advisor built only for Gold. Instead of a fixed step, the grid spacing adapts to Gold's current volatility — the ATR-based step widens when Gold is volatile and tightens when it is quiet — so it behaves in both trending and ranging conditions.

A linked Myfxbook account lets you review gain, drawdown, profit factor and the underlying trade record. Check the source for current figures. Site statistics identify their fetch time and distinguish stored or static reference values from a current provider snapshot.

Version 1.2 (September 2026) adds two strategy presets — one dropdown switches between a more active and a more selective entry engine — and auto lot, so position size and profit targets grow together with the account balance. Buy-only, no hedging, no sell baskets: simple to understand and audit trade by trade.

Free demo first — all sales are final. Setup support and every update are included. Refund & support policy

Backtest Results Only

This EA does not have a public live account at the moment, so there are no Myfxbook figures to show. The screenshots below are Strategy Tester results on real tick data — run the free demo on your own broker before buying.

Key Features

  • Adaptive grid spacing — the ATR-based step widens when Gold is volatile and tightens when it is quiet
  • Two strategy presets — one dropdown switches between a more active and a more selective entry engine
  • Buy-only logic — no hedging, no sell baskets, simple to understand and audit
  • Basket take-profit that scales with the number of open positions
  • Auto lot — position size and profit targets grow together with account balance
  • Optional basket stop-loss to cap floating drawdown at a level you choose
  • Price-range filter — only trade inside the zone you define
  • Linear or exponential lot progression, your choice
  • Live on-chart dashboard: grid level, balance, drawdown, next level, active basket

Risk & Requirements

  • Recommended setup: XAUUSD only on H1 · leverage 1:500 · low-spread ECN/raw broker · VPS 24/5 · default inputs are the live-account settings
  • Requirements: MT5 hedging account; Gold quotes with 2 or 3 digits are auto-detected
  • Inputs you control: strategy preset · ATR period, timeframe and multiplier · maximum grid levels · starting lot and auto lot · lot progression · basket TP per cluster size · basket SL on/off · trailing stop · price range · magic number
  • Grid strategies carry floating drawdown by design — past performance, live or backtested, does not guarantee future results. Test on a demo first and size positions to your own risk tolerance.
Trading Forex, Gold, Indices, Stocks and CFDs carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance — including all figures shown on this page and on Myfxbook — is not a guarantee of future results.
