💎 Smart Grid Hedging EA MT4 v5.20 – Backtest Recommendation

⚠️ Important Notice:
When backtesting Smart Grid Hedging EA MT4 v5.20 (Global Broker-Compatible Edition),
please use “Open Prices Only” mode instead of “Every Tick”.

🧠 Reason:
MT4’s Every Tick simulation sometimes skips SELL entries due to synthetic tick generation — this issue affects only backtests, not live trading.

✅ Recommended Settings:

• Model: Open Prices Only (fast & stable)

• Version: Smart Grid Hedging EA MT4 v5.20

• Symbols: Works perfectly on XAUUSD, NAS100, BTCUSD, US30, EURUSD, etc.

• Live Trading: 100% unaffected

---

Short version for users:

⚠️ In Smart Grid Hedging EA MT4 v5.20, use “Open Prices Only” for backtesting. “Every Tick” may skip SELL entries (MT4 tick limitation). Live trading works perfectly.

✅ Please use this set file for backtesting and live trading — Smart Grid Hedging EA MT4 v5.20 (Global Stable Version).

💰 PROFIT & TRAILING SETTINGS

Input	Description
Close ALL positions when total profit reached	If true , EA closes all trades once total floating profit ≥ target value.
Profit ($) to close ALL positions	Dollar profit target for full closure of all trades. Example: 2.0 means close all when $2 profit.
Profit ($) to close last 3 trades (2 BUY + 1 SELL)	Partial close logic — closes the last 3 trades together in profit for faster cycle resets.
If true, Bid must be > SELL open before closing cluster	Safety condition for cluster close — ensures price bounces above last SELL before profit close.
Enable close of last 3 trades (2 BUY + 1 SELL) on bounce profit	Enables the 3-trade partial close feature (bottom cluster closure).
Enable trailing for single BUY instead of fixed TP	Turns on trailing for individual BUY trades instead of using fixed profit.
Profit ($) to close single BUY in fixed mode	If trailing = false, defines how much profit ($) is needed to close each BUY manually.
Start trailing after X points in profit	Number of points in profit before trailing starts (e.g., 300 = 30 pips).
Trailing SL distance from current price (points)	Distance between current price and trailing stop (e.g., 150 = 15 pips behind price).
Enable trailing for SELL instead of fixed TP	Enables trailing for SELL trades (otherwise uses fixed TP).
Start trailing SELL after X points profit	Points in profit before a SELL starts trailing.
SELL trailing SL distance (points)	Distance (points) behind price for SELL trailing.
Gap (points) from last BUY before next grid after SELL closes	Minimum required gap (in points) between last BUY and current price after SELL trailing close before opening a new SELL. Prevents back-to-back SELLs.
Enable Buy-only recovery after SELL trailing close	If true , allows only BUY trades after a SELL trailing close (no new SELLs) until recovery is complete.
Minimum gap between last BUY and current price to allow SELL	Defines the gap (in points) required to re-enable SELL trading after a recovery phase.
Skip trailing for the very first (lowest) BUY	If true → First BUY acts as an anchor (never trails). If false → All BUYs trail when in profit.
