Grid Aroon Directional Shift EA

Most grid EAs open the first trade because price drifted a fixed number of points. Nothing changed in the market. The distance simply ran out.

This one waits until the high and the low swap places, and only then arms the ladder.

THE ENTRY IS A REASON, NOT A DISTANCE

Aroon does not measure price. It measures age — how many bars since the highest high, and how many since the lowest low. When the newer extreme changes sides, direction has just turned. That crossover, and nothing else, opens the first order.

Between signals there is a lockout you set in bars, so one choppy session cannot fire the same entry five times.

YOU WATCH THE SIGNAL FORM — YOU DON'T GUESS AT IT

Two hourglasses sit in the panel. A fresh high fills the left glass to the top; every bar that passes without a new high drains a row of sand into the base. The right glass does the same for the low.

When one glass refills and the other empties, that is your shift. You see it building bars before it completes, instead of discovering it in the journal afterwards.

The lookback window Aroon is actually reading is shaded on the chart, the exact bars that made the high and the low are marked, and every past shift carries an arrow on the bar that produced it.

THE GRID ENGINE YOU ALREADY KNOW

One direction. Multiplied lots per level. Oldest and newest closed together as a profitable pair, with commission counted before anything is banked. Level cap, spread guard, slippage cap, one order per bar.

Nothing exotic has been bolted onto the mechanics. The only thing that changed is when it starts.

SPACING THAT MOVES WITH THE MARKET

A fixed grid step is the reason martingale ladders die in trends: the market gets faster, the spacing does not. Here the base step widens with live ATR, and on gold, silver or any XAU/XAG symbol it scales up automatically — by default ten times — so the ladder cannot stack ten levels into one run. The panel prints the effective spacing it is using, in points, at all times.

NOTHING IS FORCED ON YOU

Minimum margin level, max risk per trade, max total risk and a hard loss cap are all built in — and all four ship set to 0, switched off. If you want the EA to close your basket for safety, you turn that on yourself. It will never do it behind your back on a default setting.

Be clear-eyed: this is a martingale grid. Lots multiply, and an unbroken trend against an open ladder is the risk you are accepting. Size it accordingly, and test it before it sees your money.

ARABIC AND ENGLISH, ON EVERY LINE

Every panel row and every single input carries both languages. Not a translated manual — the terminal itself speaks Arabic while you work.

THE WHOLE CHART IS THE INTERFACE

Open levels are drawn as price lines coloured by their own P/L, with the weighted break-even in gold and the next level dashed in ahead of price. Five buttons sit on the chart: close all, pause, grid map, zones, arrows. Pause blocks new entries while still managing and closing what is already open.

The panel scales itself to your chart window and you can drag it by its header.

TEST IT FIRST

Every setting is exposed in the Strategy Tester. Run it on your own symbol, your own broker's spread and your own history before you risk anything.

RISK

Trading carries risk of loss. Grid and martingale systems increase exposure as price moves against the basket. Past testing on historical data is not a prediction of future results. Test on a demo account first and never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
