Volume Delta Grid EA

🌟 Core Strategy & Signal Engine

1. RVOL (Relative Volume): The current bar's volume must exceed the average volume of the last X bars by a specific threshold (e.g., 1.5x normal volume), indicating institutional interest or high liquidity.
   
   
2. Volume Delta: The EA calculates the percentage of buying versus selling volume within the bar based on price action relative to the high/low.
   
   
   • Buy Signal: Delta must be positive (buyers in control).
     
     
   • Sell Signal: Delta must be negative (sellers in control).
     
     
3. Trend Filter: A dual-EMA (Fast/Slow) crossover system ensures the EA only takes signals in the direction of the prevailing trend.
   
   

⚙️ Key Features

1. Dynamic Grid Mechanics

• Grid Off: Trades one position per signal.
  
  
• Trend-Add (Pyramiding): Adds new positions to a winning basket as price moves in your favor, maximizing profits on strong trends.
  
  
• Recovery-Average: Adds positions when the price moves against you (drawdown), improving the average entry price for a quicker breakeven/profit exit.
  
  
• Grid Spacing: Can be set to a fixed number of points or adapt dynamically to market volatility using the ATR (Average True Range).
  
  

2. Advanced Trade Management

• Combined Trailing SL & TP: Features a unique trailing engine that not only trails the Stop Loss to lock in profits but can also push the Take Profit further away as the trend continues.
  
  
• Profit Lock: Before the main trailing stop activates, the EA can instantly lock in a predefined small profit (breakeven + X points) as soon as the trade moves into profit.
  
  
• Basket Exits: Manage multiple grid positions as a single entity. The EA can close the entire basket of trades based on floating Dollar ($) Profit, Dollar ($) Loss, or overall average points gained.
  
  
• Signal Reversal: Optionally close a running basket immediately if a valid opposite signal appears.
  
  

3. Flexible Lot Sizing

• Manual Mode: Fixed lot sizes for every trade.
  
  
• Auto-Risk Mode: Calculates lot size based on a percentage of your account balance and the Stop Loss distance.
  
  
• Lot Multiplier: Optional Martingale-style lot multiplication for grid levels (capped by a Max Lot safety parameter).
  
  

4. Comprehensive On-Chart Dashboard

• Current RVOL, Candle Volume, and Cumulative Delta.
  
  
• Multi-timeframe Buy vs. Sell percentages (M15, M30, H1, H4).
  
  
• Overall Market Trend and Current Signal status.
  
  
• Live Grid statistics: Current Basket Levels, Total Lots, and Floating P/L for both Buy and Sell sides.
  
  

🎯 Best Use Cases

• Prop Firm Traders: Using the EA in "Grid Off" mode with Auto-Risk % and Basket Money Exits provides a strict, volume-backed algorithmic trading approach.
  
  
• Trend Traders: Using the "Trend-Add" grid mode with ATR spacing to heavily capitalize on trending assets like XAUUSD (Gold) or indices during active market sessions.
  
  
• Reversal/Range Traders: Using the "Recovery-Average" mode with strict overall Basket SLs to trade ranging currency pairs.
