Overview
Grid EA places multiple buy and sell orders at fixed intervals defined by the user. The EA includes several operational filters, such as specific trading days and time sessions. Risk management features include range-based closing, where the robot exits positions if the price moves outside a set boundary, and a profit-target restart mechanism. It features an on-chart display for tracking running profit but lacks traditional per-trade stop losses, relying instead on basket management and range limits.
- Grid-based buy and sell trade placement
- Configurable grid gap and total lines
- Trading day and session time filters
- Automatic restart upon reaching profit target
- Range-based closing and restart controls
