Robust Hybrid EA

Robust Hybrid — Smart Martingale Hedging Grid EA for M1 Scalping

Robust Hybrid is an automated grid/martingale trading system designed for short-term M1 scalping, combining a configurable entry filter, adaptive lot sizing, and a full suite of risk-control and money-management tools wrapped in a live on-chart dashboard.

Key Features:

⚙️ Flexible Entry Mode

• Trade both directions simultaneously (2-way hedging on hedge-type accounts), or restrict to Buy Only / Sell Only
• Optional auto-compounding lot sizing based on account balance

📐 Grid & Martingale Engine

• Configurable grid step (in pips) between layers
• Adjustable lot multiplier (exponent) per layer
• Up to 500 grid layers, with a hard lot-size cap and an option to stop adding layers once the cap is reached

💰 Basket Take-Profit & Break-Even Management

• Manual basket TP target in account currency
• Optional trailing basket profit lock
• Break-even trigger with a configurable profit-lock threshold

🛡️ Risk & Safety Filters

• Maximum spread filter
• Drawdown-based safeguards: a "soft" threshold that stops opening new layers, and a separate "hard" threshold that force-closes all positions
• Manual trade management toggle
• Adjustable slippage tolerance

🕒 Time & Target Filters

• Active trading hours filter with GMT/local time offset configuration
• Optional daily profit target that pauses trading once reached (manually re-enable anytime)

🖥️ Live Dashboard

• Real-time status, profit tracking, and running/stopped indicator
• One-click Close All, Stop, and Daily-Target toggle buttons
• Minimizable panel with customizable colors and screen position
• Unique magic number and trade comment tagging for easy identification

Important Risk Notice: This EA uses a martingale/grid strategy, which increases position size after adverse price movement to average the entry price. This approach can produce a high win rate in ranging or mean-reverting conditions, but carries substantial drawdown and capital-loss risk during strong trending moves. Users should thoroughly backtest and forward-test on a demo account, understand their broker's margin requirements (hedging accounts required for BOTH-direction mode), and use appropriate position sizing relative to account equity before running this EA on a live account.

💡 Recommended: Start on a Cent Account Because Robust Hybrid uses a martingale/grid strategy with up to 500 layers, position sizing can escalate quickly if the market trends against the grid. A Cent Account is strongly recommended before running this EA on a Standard account:

• Real market conditions, minimal risk — Cent accounts execute on live spreads/liquidity (unlike a demo), so you get an authentic feel for how the grid behaves, while each 1.00 lot on Cent equals roughly 0.01 lot on Standard — keeping actual dollar exposure very small.
• Proper stress-testing of the grid — Since deposits are typically in cents (e.g. $100 deposit on Cent), you can let the EA run through full drawdown cycles and observe how GridStepPips, LotExponent, and MaxLayers interact — without risking meaningful capital.
• Fine-tune settings safely — Use the Cent account to calibrate MaxDrawdownPercent, HardClosePercent, BasketTP_USD, and TradeStartHour/TradeEndHour to match your broker's typical volatility before scaling up.
• Broker compatibility check — Confirm your Cent account is a hedging-type account if you plan to use ENTRY_BOTH mode, since netting accounts will reject simultaneous Buy+Sell positions (the EA blocks BOTH mode on netting accounts automatically).

Suggested workflow: run Robust Hybrid on a Cent account for at least several weeks across varying market conditions (trending and ranging) to observe full grid cycles and drawdown recovery behavior, before considering a Standard live account with position sizing adjusted to your real risk tolerance.
