Overview
Grid Trader MT5 automatically divides the range into two halves, executing sell orders in the upper section and buy orders in the lower section. The system includes a safety mechanism that closes all positions if the price breaks out of the specified range. Risk is managed through a total pip-based take profit or a trailing drawdown exit. Lot sizes can be configured to decrease as positions move toward the center line.
- Bidirectional range grid logic
- Automatic breakout protection
- Variable lot sizing per grid level
- ATR-based range recovery distance
- Integrated trailing equity exit
