ApexVol Grid EA is a fully automated trading algorithm for MetaTrader 5. It is built on a volatility-filtered grid trading system and operates using dynamic moving average channels. The EA is designed to detect optimal entry zones during stable market conditions and execute trades in both directions based on predefined grid levels.

Input Parameters Explained

| EA Data Set (1–7) | Internal configuration selector. Leave at 7 unless a specific dataset version is advised. |
| Comment | Trade comment that appears in the terminal’s trade log for easy identification. |
| Auto Lotsize calculation | Defines how much account balance is required to open 0.01 lots. The lot size is calculated as: AccountBalance / Auto Lotsize calculation. Example: With 6'000 balance and value = 3000 → 0.02 lots will be traded. |
| Fixed Lotsize (if Auto Lotsize = 0) | Fixed lotsize if auto-sizing is disabled. |
| Lotsize Multiplier | Multiplies lotsize with each grid level (Martingale effect). Example: 2.5 = each next order is 2.5x larger. |
| Position Entry Level | Number of allowed grid entries per symbol. |
| Recovery Mode | Enables aggressive lot scaling after a loss to recover faster. |
| Use Auto Recovery Disable | Automatically disables Recovery Mode if drawdown exceeds the next setting. |
| Auto Recovery Disable (%) | Threshold (%) at which Recovery Mode will be turned off automatically. |
| Max Drawdown (%) | Maximum total drawdown allowed before blocking new trades. |
| Last Entry Level | Controls how many grid trades are allowed before stopping further entries. |
| Max Drawdown % to enter new Trade | Prevents opening any new trades if current drawdown exceeds this threshold. |
| Stop Multiplying at Trade x | Lotsize will no longer be multiplied beyond this trade count in a grid series. |
| Use Candle Age | Filters out trading signals that are too old (e.g., if they occurred too many candles ago). |
| Candle Age (in seconds) | Maximum allowed age of a trade signal before it is ignored. |
| Max Volatility Ratio | Defines the maximum ATR-to-price ratio. Trading is skipped if the market is too volatile. |
| Volatility Timeframe | Timeframe used to calculate ATR for the volatility filter (e.g., 1 Day). |
| Volatility Period | Number of candles used to compute the ATR. |
| Moving Average Mode | Type of moving average used for dynamic channel calculation (e.g., Linear weighted). |
