Grid Shooting Star EA
SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Shooting Star strategy, wired into a complete grid, hedge and cycle engine. A stochastic leaving an extreme zone arms the first level. Everything after that - the ladder, the fragmenting closer, the target slicer, the reopen guard, the optional hedge cycle - is handled by an engine that was built to keep a grid alive rather than to hope it never goes wrong.
WHAT THIS EA IS
Most grid robots are one idea: open a level, open another one further away, and wait. That works until it does not. This EA is three engines that share one chart and one account, wired together so money only ever flows in one direction.
1. THE OPENER - SHOOTING STAR
A stochastic reading leaving an extreme zone.
The reading says where price sits inside its own recent range,
from zero to one hundred. A BUY is the line crossing back UP
through the oversold level - not reaching it, LEAVING it.
That direction is the whole point and it is the opposite of how
most people use a stochastic. A reading pinned at twenty does not
mean the market is about to turn; in a real downtrend it sits
there for days while every oversold entry is stopped out in turn.
While it is pinned it carries no information at all. What it does
tell you is the moment it comes UNPINNED, because that requires
the selling to have actually stopped.
THIS PRODUCT'S OWN SETTINGS ARE PRESERVED EXACTLY.
%K of 67, %D of 48, slowing of 85, read from the %K main line,
with levels at 20 and 80. Those numbers are not defaults picked
here - they are the ones this EA shipped with, and at a long
%K they give it a character quite different from its siblings.
THE ORIGINAL TRADED THIS ENTRY WITH ITS OWN AVERAGING BOOK. That
is gone. What replaces it is the full V1 machine - a ladder, a
fragmenting closer that scans both ends of the book, a target
slicer with a persistent ledger, a reopen guard and an optional
hedge cycle. The entry is the same; everything behind it is not.
Rebuilt natively for MT5.
You can also keep the plain distance trigger, or require both: the reading must agree with a real move before a single order is sent.
2. THE LADDER
Once a cycle is armed, the grid builds. BUY and SELL grids run independently, each with its own anchor, its own level counter, its own spacing and its own bar gate, so a market that trends one way and ranges the other is not forced into a single model. Single-grid mode is there when you want one direction at a time.
Spacing is fixed points or ATR-driven, with a floor, a ceiling and an option to freeze the ATR value for the whole cycle so the spacing does not drift under you mid-cycle. A per-level multiplier lets the grid widen as it goes deeper.
Lots climb by multiplication or by addition. Additive is the honest choice for most accounts: 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 rather than a curve that doubles into margin call. Auto-lot scales the starting size with the balance, and scaling down is opt-in rather than assumed.
3. THE CLOSER - AND THIS IS THE REAL DIFFERENCE
A normal grid closes the oldest order against the newest and waits for the pair to cover its own cost. When the market does not come back, nothing closes, and the book grows.
This closer does not wait.
It scans combinations of both ends of the book - several of the oldest orders against several of the newest - and ranks the qualifying combinations by how much of the book each one clears. It counts swap and it counts commission, both sides, from your own trade history rather than from a number you typed in.
When no whole combination can cover the target, it buys a SLICE. Part of the oldest order is closed, paid for by the profit the newest orders have already made, and the rest of that order is remembered in a ledger. The ledger survives restarts, reattaches and terminal crashes, and the part already killed is rebuilt from deal history every time rather than trusted from storage. Over several slices the oldest, heaviest order is retired piece by piece while the market does whatever it wants.
A reopen guard refuses any closure that would immediately reopen the level it just closed, which is the quiet way most grids churn their own account into commission.
4. THE HEDGE CYCLE - OFF BY DEFAULT
An optional volume engine. It opens a perfect hedge - equal BUY and SELL on a rotating list of symbols - and then retires it in slices, each slice funded by a small surcharge added to the closures the grid was making anyway. The hedge is held in balance, verified on a timer, and repaired automatically if one leg is left naked.
There are hard limits on what the hedge may cost. A cap in money on a single closure, a cap as a percentage of any closure's target, and a weekly cash-day window that can hold new cycles and new slices before a withdrawal.
This is off by default and deliberately so. With it off, this EA is the Shooting Star reading driving a dual grid with a fragmenting closer, and nothing else is touched.
5. EXECUTION YOU CAN AUDIT
Every closure is a plan that is scanned, sent leg by leg, and then verified against the deal history. A leg that does not fill goes to a retry queue instead of being assumed. A market that refuses orders makes the EA wait rather than burn its retry budget. A book that changed between the scan and the send aborts the plan.
There is a run mode that scans and reports without trading, so you can watch what it would have done before you let it do anything.
6. THE PANEL
This product has its own panel, not a shared one. The theme is SHOOTING STAR: this product has its own panel, not one shared with the rest of the range. The theme is SHOOTING STAR: star white owns everything the grid does and night indigo owns everything the hedge does, on its own palette, typeface pairing, corner layout, row pitch and table depth.
Both cards are drawn in English with an Arabic line underneath, and both can be switched off. In a non-visual backtest nothing is drawn at all, so optimisation runs at full speed.

REQUIREMENTS
A HEDGING account is required. On a netting account every grid level merges into one position, so there is nothing to fragment and no way to hold a hedge. The EA checks this at startup and stops with a clear message rather than misbehaving quietly.
Works on any symbol and any timeframe. No DLLs, no external indicator files, nothing to install beyond the EA itself. The strategy maths is written into the EA, so the reading on the chart and the reading it trades from are the same number.
A NOTE ON EXPECTATIONS
A grid is a way of managing a position, not a way of predicting a market. The Shooting Star reading decides when to start and which way to face. The closer and the slicer are what keep a cycle from becoming permanent. Size the ladder for the account you actually have, test on your own broker's spreads and swap, and start with the hedge cycle off.
Set files for the main configurations are included. Questions and setup help are welcome through private message.
