Service Cost

The Grid King is quite an expensive expert advisor, it will currently cost you $500 to purchase, this will give you unlimited access to the expert advisor. TIf you do not want to spend that much at once, you are also able to rent it, you can rent it on a monthly basis which will cost you $250 per month, you can also rent it for three months for $350 or for six months which will cost you $450. There is also a free demo version available, this will have some limitations and we believe that it can only be used on a demo trading account.

There is also a budget lite version of this expert advisor which costs a little less but also has fewer features.

Conclusion

The Grid King has 42 reviews, the overall rating from these reviews is 4 out of 5 which is not a bad score at all.

The Grid King is about risk management Grid with Martingale EA. Noe of EA has this level of defensive system. The author is one of very few honest challenger. Be realistic and patient.“ – A 5-star review.

Been running GK since 4th April on ECN and Cent account. Decent profit, stable, really good EA. (5*) update 2019-May-27: Grid King hit 2 stop-losses with trailing TP, still in profit (but not much), stable. (5*) update 2020-Mar-18: Stopped because of too many SL for me. The account did not wipe, but I have stop using all grid strategies altogether, not just GK.” – A 2-star review.

Although I had a stop out (EURAUD) after a couple of days of use (something that can always happen) I still believe this is (to my knowledge) the only martingale EA to go with. Clear (and acceptable) stop-out levels combined with a multi-currency approach. Great support and frequent updates that makes the EA getting better and better. At this moment I run all (15) the currencies on the “very conservative “lot size step” risk factor. After a couple of months, I hope to switch to the conservative setup.” – A 5-star review.

So there is a mix of reviews, many positive ones but there are also some negative ones in there, due to the nature of the expert advisor there will be people using settings that are too risky which can cause the expert advisor to blow an account. There are a lot of comments, the creator of the expert advisor seems to be responding to them all promptly which is a positive sign. Due to the cost of the expert advisor, we would highly recommend that you download the free version, this will only be usable on a demo account but it will give you a good way to test out the expert advisor, to make sure it is safe for you and that it does actually function properly prior to making a large purchase.
