🧠 AutoLotEqualizer – Smart Position Balancing Tool
AutoLotEqualizer is a precision trade management utility designed to keep your total BUY and SELL volumes balanced automatically.
It detects differences between your open BUY and SELL positions and opens compensating trades — ensuring both sides stay equal in exposure.
This helps grid, hedge, and basket systems maintain symmetry and control over total position risk — all while saving you time and manual effort.
⚙️ Key Features
-
Automatic Lot Balancing
Continuously monitors open positions and equalizes BUY/SELL lot differences by opening new trades automatically. -
Dynamic or Fixed Lots
Choose between a percentage-based lot calculation (relative to imbalance) or a fixed-lot approach for maximum control. -
Fully Configurable Parameters
Adjust delay between cycles, maximum loops, stop loss / take profit, slippage, and trade side permissions. -
Smart Symbol Handling
Works with any symbol. You can leave the input blank to use the current chart symbol or set a specific one manually. -
Persistent Input Memory (2030)
Automatically saves your last input settings to file and reloads them next session — ideal for repeat operations. -
Detailed Logging
Optional verbose logging provides full transparency for every trade attempt and volume calculation. -
Risk Controls
Includes stop loss, take profit, and minimum-lot safeguards to prevent excessive exposure or micro-lot errors.

Grid or Hedging Traders who need automatic lot balancing.
