How to install
- The EA must be attached to ONLY one M5 chart, EURUSD is recommended
- If your broker uses a suffix (e.g. EURUSD.a) you should update names in the Symbol parameter
- You need to give the EA access to the news list website and time server for news filter and time detection functionality to work correctly (delete spaces!):

Requirements
- The EA is not highly sensitive to spread and slippage, but I still recommend using a good ECN broker
- The EA should run continuously on a VPS
- With only 1:30 leverage, I recommend using no more than low-risk settings on accounts below $6,000; otherwise, you may encounter free margin issues. With 1:100 leverage, it should be fine to use up to significant-risk settings on a $1,000 account
- Check for Instances of the EA - checks that only one instance of the EA is running at a time. If EA detects other instances with the same UID, trading will be disabled.
- Allow Opening a new Initial Trade? - on/off opening of new grids. It does not affect the already open grids.
- Allow Manual Trading Buttons - enable/disable manual trading buttons that allow you to manually open an initial trade: the EA will pick up the manually opened trade and manage it as usual. The buttons are affected by the following parameters: Symbols, Maximum Spread, and Maximum Symbols at a time.
- Lot-sizing Method - select the lot sizing method according to the risk you want to take: Fixed Lots will use fixed lot size from the "Fixed lot" parameter, Dynamic Lots will use 'Dynamic Lot' parameter, Deposit load will calculate lots based on deposit load%, and 4 predefined presets will calculate risk automatically for you.
- Fixed Lot - fixed trading lot for the initial trade.
- Dynamic Lot (Balance/Equity based) - balance/equity to be used per 0.01 lot.
- Deposit Load % - % of the deposit that will be totally used to open the initial trade.
- Fixed Initial Deposit? (Tester only) - lot size will be calculated based on the initial deposit; new profits will not be considered.
- Tester Withdrawal (Tester only) - the withdrawal will take place if the account equity exceeds the specified value. For MT5 only.
- Withdrawal Amount (Tester only) - amount to withdrawal. For MT5 only.
- Rounding Method - allows you to choose the method of rounding fractional lots to calculate trading lot sizes.
- Max Lot per Order - maximum size of a single order.
- Auto Split? - option allowing the EA to trade with any lot size/volume without limits. Most brokers have a limit of 100 lots per order, so if the option is enabled, the EA will automatically split a large trading volume (e.g. 10000 lots) into multiple smaller orders (not more than 100 lots per the child order). It is intended to be used in tester to allow testing the EA on all the available history.
- Maximum Spread, in pips - maximal allowed spread.
- Maximum Slippage for a non-ECN acc, in pips - max allowed slippage for a non-ECN account.
- Portfolio Mode - allows you to run more than one set file (instance of the EA) and/or my other EAs (instances of Perceptrader AI and Golden Pickaxe) on the same account so that the EAs do not open new initial trades simultaneously.
- Initial Delay for Portfolio Mode, ms - time delay, which will be set automatically based on the UID value. This delay is necessary to ensure one set file recognizes the opened trades of another and skips the trading signal.
- Please note that set files of the same EA must have a unique UID!
- For example, if you run 2 set files on the same account and want to prevent the same pair from being opened by both set files simultaneously, then I recommend setting as follows:
- First set file: Portfolio Mode=true, UID=0
- Second set file: Portfolio Mode=true, UID=1
- Consider WAKA Orders (Portfolio only) - the EA will take into account open trades of Waka Waka EA in portfolio mode.
- Consider PAI Orders (Portfolio only) - the EA will take into account open trades of Perceptrader AI in portfolio mode.
- Consider GP Orders (Portfolio only) - the EA will take into account open trades of Golden Pickaxe in portfolio mode.
- Maximum Symbols at a time - maximal allowed number of symbols that can be opened at the same time.
- Only One Symbol if Grid reaches this Level [0-disabled] - this option allows you to temporarily reduce the "Maximum Symbols at a Time" to one if an open grid reaches the specified level.
- Disable Trades on the Same Side of a Currency - this option disables the opening of new initial trades on the same side of a currency. For example, it can help prevent having 2 shorts for CAD at the same time to protect accounts from a strong trend for the CAD currency.
- Allow Hedging? - allow opening multi-directional trades on the same symbol.
- Allow Trading on Holidays? - on/off Christmas/New Year trading filter.
- Allow to Buy/Sell - on/off Buy/Sell trades.

TakeProfit settings
- TakeProfit for Initial Trade, in pips - take profit for the initial trade (if no grid trades opened).
- Weighted TakeProfit? - if true, then Grid TP is weighted by volume so TP in pips decreases in proportion to the open volume of the grid levels. This allows keeping the initial TP in money unchanged after adding new averaging trades.

- Calculate Levels from Initial Trade - if true, then entry prices of grid levels will be calculated based on the entry price of the initial trade. In this case, if the distance of the previous grid is very large, the next grid can be formed shorter than 25 (by default) or even inside the previous grid. If false, then the entry price of a grid level will be calculated based on the entry price of the previous grid to form grids with distances greater than 25 (by default).
- Grid Level to Start (1-initial trade) - allows you to skip a certain number of grid levels, trading will start from the specified level. To calculate entries correctly, the EA opens "marker" orders at skipped levels with a minimum lot size.

- Force Basket Closure once the Initial Order is Closed - option to force basket closure once the initial order/trade is closed by TP or by manual intervention.
