Controls the fundamental behavior of the EA — whether it trades as a pure grid system or follows the trend using indicators before entering positions.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|
| StrategyType | Follow Trend | The main strategy mode.
Mode_Normal_Grid — Opens trades immediately and uses the grid engine for recovery. Ignores trend indicators.Mode_Follow_Trend — Uses MA and RSI indicators to confirm trend direction before opening initial entries. Grid activates only for recovery.
|
| TradeDirection | Trade_Both | Restricts trading direction.
Trade_Buy — Only BUY positionsTrade_Sell — Only SELL positionsTrade_Both — Both directions allowed
|
| Manage_Manual_Trades | true | When enabled, the EA will manage trades placed manually (Magic Number 0) — applying trailing stops, grid recovery, and basket TP to your manual positions. |
| Magic | 3579 | Unique identifier for the EA's trades. Change this if running multiple instances on the same account to prevent them from interfering with each other. |
These indicators are only used in Follow Trend mode. They determine when the EA is allowed to open its initial trade based on trend direction and momentum.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|
| TrendMA_Period | 50 | Period of the Moving Average used for trend detection. Price above MA = uptrend (BUY), below MA = downtrend (SELL). |
| TrendMA_Method | EMA | Moving Average calculation method. EMA (Exponential) reacts faster to price changes than SMA (Simple). |
| UseRSI_Filter | true | Adds RSI confirmation to entries. Prevents buying when overbought and selling when oversold. |
| RSI_Period | 14 | RSI calculation period. Lower values are more sensitive. |
| RSI_Buy_Level | 30 | Only BUY when RSI is below this level (looking for oversold bounces). |
| RSI_Sell_Level | 70 | Only SELL when RSI is above this level (looking for overbought reversals). |
Controls how the EA calculates Take Profit for individual trades and basket (group) positions. The basket TP is crucial for grid recovery — it closes all positions when the combined profit target is reached.
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|
| TakeProfitMode | TP_Fixed_Points | How to calculate TP.
TP_Fixed_Points — Uses a fixed number of points/pips.TP_Dynamic_ATR — TP adapts to volatility using ATR indicator.
|
| TakeProfit | 60 | Fixed TP distance in points. Used when TakeProfitMode is Fixed. |
| ATR_Multiplier_TP | 1.5 | TP = ATR × this multiplier. Higher = wider TP, slower but safer closes. |
| Grid_Basket_TP_Mode | Net Profit Only | How basket TP is calculated for the grid group.
Basket_All_Orders_Profit — Close when ALL individual orders are in profit.Basket_Net_Profit_Only — Close when the NET combined profit is positive (allows some losing trades to be covered by winners).
|
| Basket_BE_Offset_Pips | 3.0 | When basket hits break-even, this offset ensures you close with at least X pips profit to cover commissions. |
| Basket_BE_Max_TP_Pips | 15.0 | Maximum basket TP distance. Prevents unrealistic TP targets on deep grids. |
| Use_TP_Compression | true | Reduces TP per trade as grid deepens. More orders = tighter TP for faster exit. |
| Start_Compression_Order | 4 | Start compressing TP from this grid level. |
| Compression_Percent | 5.0 | Each extra order reduces TP by this percentage. |
| Min_Compressed_TP | 10.0 | TP will never go below this value (floor). |
| Include_Manual_In_Basket | true | V11 Includes manual trades in basket TP calculation for complete position management. |
| Use_Periodic_TP_Recalc | true | V11 Periodically recalculates TP to account for new manual trades or Smart Recovery changes. |

| Cooldown_After_Loss_Mins | 60 | Pause new entries for X minutes after a stop loss is hit. Prevents revenge trading. |
The grid engine is the core recovery mechanism. When a trade goes against you, the EA opens additional positions at calculated intervals to average down and recover with a basket close. This is the most powerful and most dangerous feature — configure carefully.

|
| Fixed_Step | 30 | Base distance between grid levels (in points). |
| ATR_Multiplier_Step | 0.8 | Grid step = ATR × this value. Used in Dynamic ATR mode. |
| Max_Grid_Step | 500 | Maximum allowed grid step (safety cap in points). |

| MaxGridOrders | 10 | Maximum total orders (grid + pyramid combined). SAFETY |
| Use_Adaptive_Grid_Step | true | V11 Widens the grid step as the grid deepens. Prevents orders from clustering too close. |
| Grid_Step_Growth | 1.15 | Step multiplier per level. 1.15 = each level is 15% wider than the previous. |
| Use_Anti_Trend_Guard | true | V11 Blocks new grid orders when they would be against the trend (detected by MA). Prevents deep drawdowns in trending markets. |
| Anti_Trend_MA_Period | 100 | MA period for anti-trend detection. |
| Grid_Lot_Mode | Scale_Additive | How grid lot sizes increase per level.
Scale_Flat — Same lot on every grid level (safest).Scale_Additive — Add a fixed increment per level (e.g., 0.01, 0.02, 0.03...).Scale_Martingale — Multiply lot by Grid_Multiplier each level (most aggressive).
|
| Grid_Additive_Increment | 0.01 | Fixed lot added per grid level in Additive mode. |
🚨 Warning: MaxGridOrders × Max_Lot_Size is your worst-case exposure. Always calculate if your account can handle a full grid before going live.

| Pyramid_BE_Offset_Points | 5.0 | Points above entry for pyramid BE (covers commissions). |
| Recover_Pyramid_Trades | true | Allow the grid engine to rescue failed pyramid trades. |
