HFT Directional Grid Scalper

HFT Directional Grid Scalper (Simple, Training Project)

Overview

We are looking for a developer to create a high-frequency grid scalper with a simple, deterministic logic. This is not a complex bot — the goal is to have a clean implementation for training, testing, and educational purposes.

The bot should:

• Continually open trades in one direction only (BUY or SELL)
• Use ATR-based grid spacing
• Maintain a fixed lot size (no martingale, no recovery)
• Include a profit basket that closes all open positions once a target is reached
• Operate with a small grid step and small per-trade TP to achieve 1000+ trades/day potential
• Limit the maximum number of grid levels
• Dashboard showing performance and profit track

Key Requirements

1. Direction Control
   • Input parameter for BUY or SELL mode
   • Bot should only trade in the selected direction
2. Grid Management
   • ATR-based spacing between entries
   • Configurable min/max grid spacing
   • Max number of positions must be respected
3. Profit & Risk Management
   • Small per-trade TP
   • Basket profit target closes all trades
   • Optional: max drawdown protection (basic)
4. Position Sizing
   • Fixed lot size per trade
   • No dynamic lot scaling, no martingale, no recovery
5. Execution
   • Efficient, low-latency order handling
   • Suitable for high-frequency trading scenarios

Deliverables

• Fully functional EA/algorithm implementing the above logic
• Configurable input parameters for:
  • Trade direction
  • Grid ATR multiplier, min/max spacing
  • Max grid levels
  • Per-trade TP
  • Basket profit target
  • Lot size
• Clean, readable, and maintainable code
• Optional: small test/demo setup
• visual dashboard (profit)

Notes for Developers

• The logic is intentionally simple — it should not take more than a day for an experienced developer to implement.
• This project is for training and testing purposes; the budget is limited.
• You may implement some of the code yourself, but guidance and structure are the main requirement.

Skills Required

• Experience with MQL4/MQL5, or similar trading platform coding
• Understanding of grid trading and ATR calculations
• Ability to write clean, readable code suitable for HFT testing
