Hungry Spider EA is a convenient trading panel and a useful assistant to manage your trades and to set a grid of orders (not pending orders) with a push notification option.
Hungry Spider is a trading panel to help you save time while trading. The EA does not open orders, but it sets a grid. The grid then opens at actual prices without using pending orders. The grid can be turned on and off in a single click. The EA includes a Trailing Stop function, which can also be activated in a single click. Instead of working based on the average value of current orders, the Trailing Stop function also takes into account the volume of orders, which is very important. Hungry Spider can be used in real trading, and it also allows testing new strategies in the Strategy Tester by providing Buy and Sell buttons, providing a considerably faster testing process.
The purpose of the grid is the following: if the price goes against your order, with the grid you will only need to move half way back in order to enter a profit area, or even less if using a Martingale multiplier.
The EA can send Push notifications to a mobile to notify you of any updates. Thus you save time and can feel more confident.
What are the advantages of not using pending orders?
- You will not need to send frequent requests to open/delete a pending order.
- You can quickly disable the grid in just one click, no need to delete multiple pending orders one by one.
Tips on the Expert Advisor Use
- Only enter the market only in the trend direction or during flat, setting the stop loss on the channel border.
- Recommended balance: 300 for 0.01 lot.
- Use less volatile currency pairs
- Prohibit the EA to open a grid during high impact news
- Before using the Expert Advisor test it in the strategy tester, and select optimal parameters for your trading style
- Do not use Martingale, it is only included for those who want to rapidly accelerate their deposit while having high risks.
- You can set Magic = 0, and trade as usual, the EA will assume that open orders belong to it, it is very convenient if you use pending orders - the EA will manage them upon activation.
6 buttons will appear on the chart after you launch the EA.

- For manual orders, Stop Loss and Take Profit are determined based on inputs; orders from the grid inherit these values from parent a order.
Very limited use after using it only a few weeks, I will give it 2 stars based on its current use, But the EA has no external menu each time you want to change a setting the user is force to click on EA symbol instead of a external menu box like so many other EA that do the same job. Also user cannot change take profit or grid spacing once a trade is open, EA is just to basic .
The main point of this panel is Easy-to-Use(!) and low consumption of processor resources.
Also, based on our many years of experience, all settings must be entered before order opening, and in ideal conditions, only once for each currency pair. If you want to change the settings with open orders, then you should think about why this happened, and perhaps you should exit the market because the vision of the situation has already disappeared. (This is only a recommendation)
Of course, we could make many different settings, buttons, etc., but is it necessary? Will it really help, or changing of the settings will only distract the trader?
The EA works exactly as described and demonstrated.
But it is your right to give us 2 stars.
