Maximum Investment
max_invest_by_start_balance = true
The EA calculates the maximum investment based on the account balance when the EA starts. The total value of all Grid positions will not exceed this amount.
max_invest_by_start_balance = false
The EA uses the value specified in custom_max_invest as the maximum investment. The total value of all Grid positions will not exceed the specified amount.
custom_max_invest
-
Setting custom_max_invest equal to your account capital means the EA operates without increasing exposure through leverage.
-
Setting custom_max_invest higher than your available capital increases market exposure and therefore increases trading risk.
Recommendations
-
Test the EA on a Demo account before using it on a Live account.
-
Adjust the parameters according to the instrument and market conditions.
-
Grid trading involves risk during strong trending markets. Please understand the strategy and configure the EA according to your own risk tolerance before trading with real funds.
