Grid Engine. One product, done right.

A grid system for XAU/USD written in MQL5: it stacks orders at progressively better prices when the market moves against you, and closes the whole block in profit when price returns. Configuration is pushed from our infrastructure; telemetry flows back to your dashboard.

  • Adaptive grid spacing, computed on ATR
  • Trend filter + high-impact news filter
  • Server-governed parameters, no manual tuning
  • Pause, lot size and alerts controlled from the dashboard

04how to start

From zero to live in under 5 minutes.

No code, no convoluted setup. Your capital stays at your broker.

01

Create your account

Email and password. Thirty seconds, no card required.

02

Open an account at a partner broker

Pick one of the partner brokers — or use your existing MT5 account, if compatible. Funds stay at the broker, in your name: we never touch them.

03

Install the Grid Engine

Download the EA from the dashboard, attach it to the XAU/USD chart in MT5, paste your license key. Setup done.

04

Control everything from the dashboard

Live telemetry, pause, lot size, alerts. The MT5 toggle ships OFF — you decide when to go live. For license and setup we follow you personally on WhatsApp.

05partner brokers

Partner brokers. Negotiated terms.

The software runs on MT5 accounts at brokers we hold direct agreements with. The account is yours, opened in your name — we never hold your capital.

07frequently asked

Quick answers.

Including the uncomfortable ones.

What exactly does BlackSwan do?+

We are a software company: we design, test and license algorithmic trading software for MetaTrader 5. We do not manage capital, take deposits or give financial advice. Our product in production is the Grid Engine, on XAU/USD.

What is the Grid Engine?+

An MQL5 Expert Advisor trading gold (XAU/USD) with adaptive grid management. It ships with six hard-coded protections, receives parameters from our servers and sends telemetry to your dashboard every 5 minutes. The full datasheet is in the “product” section.

How do I get a software license?+

Licenses are private and handled personally. You register on the site, pick your preferred partner broker, then message us on WhatsApp: we guide you through account opening, license key activation and setup. No automatic checkout on the site.

Which broker do I need to run the Grid Engine?+

One of the partner brokers: FPG (copytrading, from $4,000) or PlexyTrade (EA license, from $2,000). Alternatively any MT5 hedging account with EAs allowed and XAU/USD available — we verify compatibility before activation.

How much capital do I need on the broker account?+

It depends on the broker: from $2,000 at PlexyTrade (plus a $1,000 deposit bonus), from $4,000 at FPG (plus a 20% bonus). More capital means more safety buffer during drawdowns — never trade money you cannot afford to lose.

Can I lose money using the software?+

Yes. Trading gold CFDs involves substantial risk and you can lose all the capital on the account. The protection stack reduces risk, it does not remove it. Past performance does not guarantee future results: there is no guaranteed profit.

Can I stop the Grid Engine whenever I want?+

Yes, two ways. From the dashboard: the pause button blocks new cycles while open positions run to target. From MT5: disable auto-trading or detach the EA from the chart, effective immediately. No penalty, no lock-in.

Do I need trading experience? A VPS?+

Experience: no, parameters come pre-configured from our servers. Understanding the risks remains mandatory. VPS: recommended to keep MT5 running 24/5; we help you set it up during onboarding.

Which instruments does the Grid Engine trade?+

XAU/USD (spot gold) only. One pair, studied in depth — no 30-symbol portfolios that were never tested.

Is there a document to sign before going live?+

Yes. At signup you sign a risk-awareness document stating you understand the risks and cannot claim refunds in case of losses. We store it for legal purposes: it is our form of transparency.

08risk warning

CFD trading carries high risk.

Trading leveraged financial instruments (including gold/XAUUSD) carries significant risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

BlackSwan licenses software: purchasing a license is not an investment, nor an entrustment of capital to BlackSwan. Your capital stays on your account at your broker, and the risk of loss remains entirely yours. Only invest capital you can afford to lose.
