- Optional Max Position to BE: switch to target breakeven after a certain amount of grid positions has been opened.

Entry Rules of the EA :
1. DonchianTrend (Trend-Following Mode)
In this mode, the EA uses a Donchian Channel to follow breakouts:
-
Buy Entry: Triggered when price touches the Upper Donchian band
-
Sell Entry: Triggered when price touches the Lower Donchian band
You can optionally enable an EMA filter. If enabled:
-
Buy trades are only allowed when price is above the selected EMA.
-
Sell trades are only allowed when price is below the EMA.
This filter helps confirm trend direction before entering a breakout.
2. BollingerReversal (Mean-Reversion Mode)
In this mode, the EA trades against extreme moves, assuming price will revert:
-
Buy Entry: Triggered when price touches the Lower Bollinger Band
-
Sell Entry: Triggered when price touches the Upper Bollinger Band
You can also enable the EMA trend filter in this mode:
-
If price is above the EMA (uptrend), only buy reversion trades are allowed.
-
If price is below the EMA (downtrend), only sell reversion trades are allowed.
This ensures that reversion trades are taken in the direction of the broader trend, avoiding counter-trend setups in high-momentum environments.
