How it trades (logic overview)
-
Signal check (per enabled profile):
-
RSI filter (optional): buys only if RSI ≤ oversold; sells only if RSI ≥ overbought.
-
Stochastic confirms with K/D relationship across the last 1–2 bars and level thresholds.
-
If allowed and position cap not exceeded, sends a market order with optional SL/TP.
-
-
Grid & basket (optional, per side):
-
Adds orders at expanding distances (geometric), with geometric lot scaling (configurable).
-
Calculates basket TP at average price ± basket pips.
-
Optionally trails the basket TP as combined profit grows.
-
-
Risk control:
-
Trailing stop per position (BUY below price, SELL above price).
-
Hard stops close the whole basket side if either equity DD% >= limit or price crosses the hard level built from the worst open price ± offset.
-
Recommended settings / environment
-
Account type: MT5 Hedging (so BUY and SELL positions coexist independently).
-
Broker conditions: ECN, low spread, low slippage, stable connectivity.
-
VPS: Strongly recommended for live use.
-
Symbol: XAUUSD (default). Calibrate pips/SL/TP/grid distances for other symbols.
-
Risk: Start very small. Grid/lot multipliers increase exposure—lower them if in doubt.
