Features:

You can use the panel to make additional transactions. It will be automatically settled as a GRID series.
You can also Close manually. From the panel, you can change Max Trades and Max Lot Size.

In general, EA (robot) is vulnerable to price movements due to important news and events,
so it is recommended to pause when there is important news or when there is an event.
PRO Ver can set NEWS FILTER function and Non-Trade Day.

In addition, you can set the trading time and the day of the week for trading. It is also possible to close a position.
Pro MT5 supports news sources provided by MQL5.com.

Distance setting is necessary to change the value according to the currency pair.
PRO ver has Auto Distance.

(Reference) PRO Ver Features:

  1. News Filter:
    The PRO version includes a news filter. During important news announcements, it is recommended to pause trading because unexpected price movements can occur. With the news filter, you can manage this effectively.
  2. Daily Profit Stop:
    You can set a daily profit target. Once the target is reached, trading for that day stops. This feature is useful when you want to achieve the minimum necessary profit while reducing risk. For example, if you enter “10,” trading will stop when a profit of $10 is reached (the unit is in your account currency).
  3. Spread Filter:
    If the spread exceeds a set value, trading can be stopped. This helps prevent losses when the spread is large.
  4. Non-Trading Days:
    You can designate specific days as non-trading days. This allows you to avoid trading on days with higher risk, such as month-end or month-beginning days. Additionally, if there are open trades remaining on the specified non-trading days, you can choose to close all of them.
  5. Auto Set Distance:
    In GOLD Edge, the “Distance” parameter sets the grid interval. Different currency pairs may require different “Distance” values. GOLD Edge PRO automatically calculates the grid interval, making it suitable for various currency pairs.
  6. Time to Trade (Additional Option):
    In GOLD Edge, you can set trading hours. In the PRO version, if the specified trading hours are exceeded, all open trades at that time can be closed.
  7. Day of the Week to Trade (Additional Option):
    GOLD Edge allows you to specify certain weekdays for trading. In the PRO version, if it’s a designated non-trading day, all open trades at that time can be closed.
  8. Use Candle Filter (Filter ON/OFF):
    The candlestick filter can be disabled. In GOLD Edge, during grid trading, the decision to trade is based not only on the “Distance” interval but also on the candlestick filter for recovery direction. In the PRO version, you can disable this filter (it’s enabled by default). When disabled, grid trading occurs unconditionally when the set distance is reached.
  9. Use Panel(Panel ON/OFF):
    You can toggle the display/hide settings for the panel. Additionally, there are manual buttons on the panel that allow you to change settings. Use these buttons to show or hide the panel as needed.

            Please be careful as it is a high risk setting.
            Please note that the EA version has been updated,
            so the results may not be exactly the same. I don't know what the outcome will be,
            other than the duration of the video.
            This setting is very risky,
            so I recommend that you change "Base Margin for Each LotSize" to $ 6000 or more.
