Overview
Arbitrage Grid Bot monitors a configurable list of currency pairs and determines trade direction using a moving average trend filter. When price moves against an initial position, the bot opens additional levels using fixed, additive, or multiplicative lot scaling. The robot manages risk through an emergency account drawdown limit, optional individual stop losses, and a combined basket take profit target calculated per pair. It supports both market entries and pending limit orders for grid execution.
- Multi-pair trading from a single chart
- Additive and multiplicative lot scaling modes
- Per-pair basket profit management
- Moving average trend detection filter
