Overview

A volatility-adaptive grid strategy that opens a sequence of positions at ATR-spaced levels against short-term extension, aiming to exit the basket at a blended profit target. Grid spacing and lot progression adapt to volatility, with strict equity-based safety controls.

Features

• ATR(14) for adaptive grid spacing
• Bollinger Bands for extension context
• Equity/drawdown monitor
• Configurable stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing logic
• Session, spread, and news-time filters for disciplined execution
• One-trade-per-bar / duplicate-signal protection
• Clean, single-file MQL4 and MQL5 implementations
• No hidden logic — every input is exposed and documented

Trading Strategy

Entry logic: – Seed: open the first position when price reaches a Bollinger extreme (fade) in a confirmed low-ADX range.

• Grid add: each additional level opens at ATR × spacing beyond the prior fill, in the same direction (recovery), up to MaxLevels.

Exit logic: – Close the entire basket when blended floating profit reaches the target (in account currency or pips-equivalent).

• Hard stop the basket if equity drawdown exceeds the max threshold.

Stop-loss: No per-trade SL; a basket-level equity stop (e.g., 8% of equity) closes everything. This is the critical safety control.

Take-profit: Basket TP at a blended target (e.g., 0.5-1 × average grid spacing of net profit).

Trailing stop: Trail the basket target: once floating profit exceeds the target, lock in via a trailing basket stop.

Break-even: Not per-trade; the basket approaches break-even as recovery levels fill.

Why it works: High win rate in ranges; smooths equity in choppy markets.; Adapts spacing to volatility..

• Session filter: Prefer quiet ranging sessions (e.g., late US / Asian) for the underlying range assumption.
• Spread filter: Reject new grid adds if spread > threshold; costs compound across many trades.
• News filter: Halt new grid adds around high-impact news; strong trends break grids.
• Volatility filter: ATR sets spacing; require low ADX (range regime) before seeding. Suspend in volatility spikes.

Risk Disclaimer

Trading forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance, backtest results, and simulated outcomes are not indicative of future results. This EA does not guarantee profits. Always test thoroughly on a demo account before deploying real capital, and never risk funds you cannot afford to lose.

This strategy uses grid/recovery-style position management. Grid and recovery systems can produce extended strings of small gains punctuated by sharp, rapid drawdowns if the market trends strongly against the basket. Use conservative lot sizing, respect the built-in equity-stop settings, and never allocate capital you cannot afford to lose.
