Hello Fellow Traders! I've been working on a grid trading approach and would love to discuss the methodology with experienced traders in this community. The Technical Challenge I was looking to solve some common issues in automated grid trading: * How to handle dynamic position sizing based on market volatility * When to pause trading during high-impact news events * Optimizing grid spacing for different currency pairs * Managing drawdown during trending markets Current Implementation Questions After developing this approach, I'm curious about your experiences with: * Risk Management: What lot sizing methods work best for you in grid systems? * Market Filters: Do you use volatility filters? News filters? Time-based filters? * Pair Selection: Which pairs have you found most suitable for grid strategies? * Parameter Optimization: How do you balance profit targets vs grid spacing? Early Testing Results I've been testing this on demo and small live accounts: * Testing across EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY with different parameters * Various market conditions over recent months * Focus on risk-adjusted returns rather than pure profit Community Feedback Request I'm particularly interested in hearing from traders who have experience with: * Long-term grid strategy performance * Handling of major market events (Brexit, NFP, etc.) * Different approaches to exit strategies Technical Discussion Points Would love to discuss: * Code optimization for grid management * Memory usage with multiple open positions * Slippage handling in volatile conditions * Server/connection reliability considerations Has anyone worked on similar challenges? What approaches have you found most effective? Looking forward to a productive technical discussion! Best regards, Alexis Napoli
