XAUUSD DualGrid EA Ultimate is a professional dual‑direction grid trading system for MetaTrader 5, designed for Gold (XAUUSD) and other volatile symbols. It operates two independent grids (BUY and SELL) simultaneously, automatically opening averaged positions as price moves against each grid. The strategy combines martingale position sizing, ATR‑based dynamic spacing, multi‑level partial take‑profit, smart loss recovery, and advanced hedging – all wrapped in a real‑time dashboard for full monitoring.
Core Features (Condensed)
-
Dual Grid Operation – BUY grid opens as price falls; SELL grid opens as price rises. Each grid has its own base price, step, TP, and max orders.
-
ATR‑Adaptive Spacing – Grid step, offset, TP, and SL dynamically adjust to current volatility (ATR 14‑period). Minimum step protection prevents too‑tight grids.
-
Martingale Lot Scaling – Lot size increases every N grid levels (default 3) by a fixed increment, capped by a global maximum and a balance‑based percentage limit.
-
Smart Recovery Mode – Automatically activates when equity drawdown exceeds a set percentage (default 15%). Recovery orders use higher lot multipliers (1.2x) to reclaim losses, with a target percentage and max order count.
-
Partial Take‑Profit (3 Levels) – Closes a percentage of positions at 40%, 60%, and 80% of total grid profit, prioritising least‑profitable trades first.
-
Advanced Hedging – Triggers partial closure of losing positions when the loss/profit ratio exceeds dynamic thresholds (0.25–0.75), balancing exposure.
-
Basket Trailing Stop – Activates after profit reaches a percentage of the TP target (default 50%); closes all positions in that grid if profit retraces by a defined step (default 30% from peak).
-
Dynamic Volatility Adjustment – Grid step automatically expands (×1.5) in high volatility and contracts (×0.7) in low volatility, based on a 20‑period average ATR.
-
Comprehensive Risk Protections – Max loss cut‑off, spread filter, margin usage limit, minimum free margin, and minimum margin level checks before each new order.
-
Live Dashboard – Displays balance, equity, profit, margin levels, grid status, ADX/ATR/RSI, and recovery mode – updated in real time.
