Overview

EA Grid Gold functions by opening initial buy and sell positions and subsequently placing a sequence of limit orders at specified intervals. The system manages risk through a configurable grid size, a set number of levels, and a global take profit. By default, the stop loss is disabled, and it maintains simultaneous long and short exposure. The repository contains multiple versions for different gold trading scenarios but lacks documentation.
