Detandorify is a professional trading system designed for MetaTrader 5 that utilizes a grid-based approach to manage market positions. The system focuses on institutional-grade execution and comprehensive risk management to handle various market conditions.
The engine operates by placing a series of orders at specific intervals, allowing it to benefit from market volatility. It includes multiple filters to refine entries and several exit strategies to secure profits or limit exposure.
Key Features
- Directional Control: Users can enable or disable buy and sell operations independently.
- Dynamic Grid Technology: The system can use the Average True Range (ATR) to adjust the distance between grid orders based on current market volatility.
- Trend Filtering: Integrated ADX filter helps the system identify trend strength and avoid trading during high-momentum phases that might exceed grid limits.
- RSI Entry Filter: Optional RSI indicator to time the initial order of a grid sequence.
- Virtual Management: Support for shadow take profit and stop loss levels that are managed internally by the EA rather than being sent to the broker server.
- Multi-Mode Trailing: Advanced trailing stop functionality using candles, fractals, points, or ATR-relative values.
- Institutional Dashboard: An on-chart display provides real-time information regarding account equity, margin levels, directional profit, and execution slippage.
- Trading Schedule: Built-in time filters and a news blackout feature to avoid high-impact economic events.
Risk Management
The system is built with multiple layers of protection:
- Hard Equity Stop: Automatically closes all positions if the account drawdown reaches a specific percentage.
- Max Loss Protection: Monetary limits for total losses and direction-specific losses.
- Margin Safety: A dedicated margin level percentage monitor to prevent over-leveraging.
- Cooldown Timer: Prevents rapid order execution to manage slippage and broker request limits.
