What is AXIS?
AXIS is an Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 5 (MT5) designed to trade the EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and AUD/USD pairs.
Its installation is simple: just drag it onto a chart within MT5, and it will automatically start trading all three pairs simultaneously.
Below, you will see a short animated video of the process:
Where to place the EA?
AXIS can be placed on any timeframe and symbol, as it automatically adjusts the timeframe according to its configuration. However, for organizational purposes, it is recommended to place it on the EUR/USD chart.
When do trades get activated?
They do not activate immediately. Positions will open when entry conditions are met, usually in trending situations.
Expansion and New Sets

How to use AXIS based on your balance
It is recommended to maintain a ratio of 0.01 lots per 1000 USD or EUR in the account.
| Account Balance | Recommended Set | Additional Configurations |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 – 2000 USD | Set 1 (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD) | None |
| 2000 – 3000 USD | Set 1 + Set 2 (GBP/USD, NZD/CHF, EUR/AUD) | Disable GBP/USD in Set 1 |
| More than 3000 USD | Set 1 + Set 2 + Set 3 (AUD/USD, EUR/CAD, AUD/NZD) | Disable GBP/USD in Set 1 and AUD/USD in Set 1 |
How to disable a symbol?
To avoid trading the same pair twice, in the EA configuration, change the following parameters:
“Enable Symbol for second trade” and “Enable Symbol for third trade” → Set to false for the pairs you want to disable.
