Overview
Grid EA places multiple trade orders at fixed intervals, defined by a configurable pip gap. The system manages a specific number of grid lines on both sides of the starting price, aiming to capture small price movements. It utilizes fixed lot sizing for each position and operates using a high-frequency millisecond timer. The documentation is minimal, and the main input parameters do not include explicit stop loss or take profit settings.
- Grid-based scalping strategy
