Adaptive Grid Martin EA
Adaptive Grid Martin is a grid + martingale trading system designed for ranging markets. It combines a ten-indicator weighted ranging detector, a spatial range model, dynamic grid spacing and multiple risk guards. It enters only when the market is detected as genuinely ranging and conditions are suitable, and steps aside during trends, extreme volatility or major news, aiming to keep the downside of grid trading within a manageable range.
Key features:
• Ten-indicator weighted ranging detection: ADX, Efficiency Ratio, Choppiness, Bollinger Band Width, range %, Hurst exponent, Variance Ratio, half-life, Ehlers super-smoother and Fractal Dimension, combined by weighted vote with dual-threshold hysteresis to avoid frequent state flips.
• Spatial range model: percentile-based top/mid/bottom and width; detects price position inside the range, expansion and breakouts.
• Edge-first entry + midline exit: first BUY favored near the lower range, first SELL near the upper range (buy low / sell high); baskets take profit when price returns to the midline.
• Dynamic grid step and lot sizing: spacing adapts to range width, ATR and strength; lots support linear / mild-multiplier / strength-adaptive modes with a capped multiplier to avoid runaway sizing.
• Multiple risk guards: basket hard stop (money / equity %), per-direction floating-loss stop, account-level flatten-all, fast-move circuit breaker, spread and volatility filters, stop-loss cooldown and a daily stop-out limit.
• Automatic news filter: reads the economic calendar and pauses entries around high-impact news (works live/demo).
• Live status panel: shows market state, ranging strength, range, risk and basket status directly on the chart for full transparency.
Suitability: Universal — works on any symbol and timeframe. On more volatile symbols (e.g. gold) widen the spread and step parameters accordingly. Always validate thoroughly in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before any live use.
⚠ Risk warning: Grid and martingale strategies carry inherent risk: a sustained one-directional move can produce large floating losses. This product provides multiple stop mechanisms, but no parameter set can eliminate market risk. Use only risk capital, always backtest and forward-test first, and set stops and lot sizes appropriate to your account size. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
