Everyone running a grid asks: is my account big enough? The usual answer - the loss at the last grid level - is the wrong number. What ends the account is the margin level reaching the broker's stop-out, while the chain is still open and still looks recoverable. This EA computes the real figure, then counts how often a move that large has already happened on the symbol's own M1 history. Three mistakes it fixes, all erring in the reassuring direction: a chain of N legs floats at step x N(N-1)/2, not step x N (at 10 legs, 45 steps of loss, not 10); open positions also lock up margin while they float; and stop-out is a percentage, not zero - at 50%, losing half the equity is enough. "You need 86 dollars of room" is an abstraction. "A move that size happened 71 times in 100 days, one every 1.4" is a decision. Set InpEquity to a size you do not have yet to see what the configuration would really need. Strictly read-only: it never opens, closes or modifies a position.
