GRID TRADE SETTING
The Grid System allows the assistant to open multiple trades in the same direction before the recovery mechanism (hedging) begins. This feature gives your initial trade more flexibility — providing additional opportunities to recover through profit before entering the Loss Recovery phase.
In simple terms, Grid Mode means opening several trades in one direction (either all BUY or all SELL). This can be done automatically by the EA or manually by the trader. The assistant then treats these trades as part of the same group and manages them together within one recovery cycle.
⚙️ How Grid Mode Works
When Grid Mode is active, the EA continuously opens new trades at predefined price gaps whenever the market moves against your initial position.
The idea is to improve the average entry price, so when the market reverses even slightly, the entire grid group can close in profit — without activating the Zone Recovery Hedging yet.
If multiple trades are already open (either manually or by another EA), AZ Trade Recovery Assistant can also detect and manage them as a grid, provided all the trades are in the same direction.
📘 Rules of Grid Mode
- All grid trades must be in the same direction — either all BUY or all SELL.
- The average open price of all grid trades is used to determine the overall Take Profit. Once the average position reaches the target, all grid trades close together in profit.
- The last opened trade in the grid acts as the base level for the recovery zone. If the market continues further against your grid, the EA will then activate the Zone Recovery Hedging mechanism using that price as reference.
- Total Lots size of Grid trade count as initial lots size before goto hedge.
⚙️ Input Parameters
- Active Grids: Enable or disable grid trading mode. When set to “On”, the EA will automatically open additional trades according to your grid setup.
- Number of Grid Trades (0 = Disabled): Defines how many grid trades can be opened after the initial trade. If set to 0, grid trading is disabled.
- Grid GAP Type: Select how the distance between grid trades is calculated. You can choose between Fixed Distance or Custom Distance.
- Grid GAP (Points): Used when the GAP Type is Fixed Distance. This value defines how many points the market must move against your position before a new grid trade opens.
- Custom Grid GAP (Points): Used when the GAP Type is Custom Distance. You can set individual grid gaps separated by semicolons (;). For example, if you set NumberOfGrids = 3 and Custom Grid GAP = 150;200;300, then the 1st grid trade opens after 150 points, the 2nd after 200 points, and the 3rd after 300 points.
- Grid Lots Type: Select the lot calculation method for grid trades. Available options include Multiplier Lots and Custom Lots.
- Grid Lots Multiplier: If Multiplier Lots is selected, each new grid trade’s lot size will be multiplied by this factor compared to the previous trade.
- Custom Grid Lots: If Custom Lots is selected, specify each grid lot size individually, separated by semicolons (;). For example: 0.01;0.02;0.03;0.05.
💡 Example
If your initial trade is 0.01 lots and Grid Lots Multiplier = 2, the next trades will be 0.02, 0.04, and so on. When the market retraces back toward the average price, all grid trades will close together in profit.
