Overview

GridHedge EA opens positions based on manual direction selection or an optional candlestick pattern filter. The EA expands grid orders using fixed point offsets and increases lot sizes incrementally after unsuccessful cycles. Risk controls include monetary profit targets and maximum loss limits defined in account currency, a maximum grid trade cap, max spread controls, and a time filter. The system requires an MT5 account with hedging enabled and includes an on-chart panel for live statistics.
