Adelot

ADELOT is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor based on the simultaneous operation of two grid strategies. Both grids run in parallel and open opposing positions, which allows partial compensation of market movements and reduces the drawdown rate compared to single-direction grid systems.

The EA does not switch between market modes. Instead, it continuously operates two independent grids with different configurations. This approach provides:

• partial hedging of open positions;
• increased trading activity;
• more balanced deposit utilization.

Key features:

• simultaneous execution of two grid systems;
• independent position management logic;
• position sizing based on account balance;
• maximum margin usage control;
• trailing stop support;
• optional fixed stop loss;
• full position closure based on equity target;
• mechanism for offsetting losses with accumulated profit;
• automatic parameter recalculation after a trading cycle reset.

The EA belongs to grid-based strategies. This implies increased deposit exposure under unfavorable market conditions. Despite the use of opposing positions, the risk of significant drawdown remains, especially during prolonged trending markets.

Input Parameters

Grid settings

• Grid Step — distance between orders in the grid. Higher values reduce trading frequency but increase averaging distance.
• Max Orders — limits grid depth and overall exposure.
• Grid Shift / Offset — initial placement of the grid relative to current price.

Volume settings

• Initial Lot — base lot size for the first order.
• Lot Multiplier — scaling factor for subsequent orders in the grid.
• Auto Lot / Risk-Based Lot — automatic lot calculation based on account balance.

Risk management

• Max Margin Usage — limits margin consumption.
• Stop Loss — fixed loss limitation (optional).
• Equity Take Profit — closes all positions when target equity profit is reached.
• Loss Recovery — mechanism to offset losses using accumulated profit.

Trade management

• Trailing Stop — dynamic profit protection.
• Trailing Start — profit level at which trailing is activated.

Service parameters

• Magic Number — identifier for EA positions.
• Additional grid settings — each of the two grids has its own parameter set (step, multiplier, limits), allowing flexible interaction between them.

The EA does not use market prediction or directional indicators. All trading decisions are based on grid logic and position management.

It is recommended to perform thorough testing with parameters adjusted to the specific instrument and broker conditions (spread, commission, leverage) before using the EA on a live account.
