Trend Matrix EA
Reviewed by Pitt Petruschke, operator. No stake in Trend Matrix EA; receives commission from ATS and develops his own EA, Dawnbreak. Disclosure
Cross-checked by an AI agent (different model, blind): 3 of 6 criteria agree. Differences
Verdict
Trend-following EA on 5 markets. Evidence chosen by the seller only, weakest point risk control: 6.2 out of 10.
Trend-following EA by FXAutomater on H1 across ten instruments including silver and Brent. A “loss recovery system” closes losers and opens counter-positions; that logic is the central risk. $217.
Suits you if …
- ●Yes: you want an EA with fixed entries and exits

How the strategy trades
Schematic · no market dataSchematic of the Trend following strategy type: it explains the process, not the outcome. No prices, no real market data, no performance of Trend Matrix EA.
How it works
- Two moving averages show the direction: EMA 9 (fast) and EMA 21 (slow).
- While the fast one is above the slow one the EA is long; when it crosses below, it exits.
- Small false signals cost little – the one big trend brings the profit. If it never comes, the small losses pile up.
What we check
What we check on real trend EAs: how long sideways phases last, how deep the run of small losses in between gets – and whether the account can sit through it.
Schematic with demonstration values: a simulated price path without prices, results in pips weighted to 0.10 lots, deliberately favourable. Not this EA’s market or settings, not a backtest and not investment advice.
Design & risk
Trend Matrix EA by FXAutomater is a Trend-following EA on EURUSD, GBPJPY, NZDCAD, USDJPY (MT4/MT5), sold directly by the vendor. Each position has its own exit; losses are not absorbed by averaging in. What matters is whether execution at your broker matches the described process. You buy the vendor default; risk frame and setfile are up to you.

Frequently asked questions
Which markets does Trend Matrix EA trade?
EURUSD, GBPJPY, NZDCAD, USDJPY, XAGUSD, +5 weitere. Several instruments only spread risk while they do not share a driver — correlated pairs go down together when it matters.
Which platform does Trend Matrix EA run on?
MT4/MT5. Continuous operation needs a VPS, because a sleeping machine leaves open positions unattended: VPS providers compared.
What does Trend Matrix EA cost?
217 $ (as of our last check). We take prices from the vendor, ATS or MQL5 product page, not from marketing copy — that often quotes different figures than the buy button.
How good is Trend Matrix EA?
Our grade: 6.2 out of 10. It comes from six criteria: risk control, verifiability, transparency, value for money, usability and broker independence. The sub-grades are computed by our data formula; criteria, weights and caps are the same for every EA, whoever sells it, and no EA vendor pays for ratings. The full calculation with every threshold is in our methodology.
Is there a verified live track for Trend Matrix EA?
Yes, 2 live accounts published by the seller. We check that they exist, are verified and match the described design. Because the seller chooses what to show, such accounts earn at most 8.0 out of 10 for evidence. We deliberately do not show returns or drawdowns.
Changes to this review
- Second review by an AI agent (different model, blind): 3 of 6 criteria agree. Differences:
- Nachweisbarkeit: Zweitprüfung 4,4, unsere Bewertung 7,2. Es existieren öffentliche Myfxbook-Demokonten bei einem Broker, jedoch keine belegten Echtgeldkonten und keine ausgewiesene Laufzeit.
- Transparenz: Zweitprüfung 5,2, unsere Bewertung 8,4. Instrumente, Plattformen, grobe Handelslogik und ungünstige Kontoverläufe sind benannt, doch konkrete Regeln zur Positionsgrößensteuerung, Verlustbegrenzung und Parametrisierung bleiben offen.
- Broker-Unabhängigkeit: Zweitprüfung 4,4, unsere Bewertung 6,4. Ein Einsatz auf mehreren Plattformen spricht grundsätzlich dafür, aber die veröffentlichten Nachweise stammen ausschließlich von einem einzelnen Broker und belegen keine breite Brokerrobustheit.
