Grid Visual Adaptive Channel EA
SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Visual Adaptive Channel strategy, wired into a complete grid, hedge and cycle engine. A rail rejected from inside an adaptive channel decides when and which way a cycle starts. 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 - VISUAL ADAPTIVE CHANNEL
A stepping channel that is traded from the INSIDE. This is the mean-reversion member of the range, and it is deliberately the opposite of a breakout tool.
The centre only moves when a bar fully clears the channel - low above the upper rail, or high below the lower one. Note that it is the low, not the close, that has to clear: the whole bar must have left before the structure agrees to move at all. And when it does move, the centre is eased towards the new level rather than snapped to it, so a single escape nudges the channel without relocating it.
The width is adaptive: the greater of a fixed floor in ticks and the average bar range over the look-back, scaled by the multiplier. The floor matters more than it looks. Without it, a dead session shrinks the channel until every bar is touching a rail and the tool fires continuously on nothing at all.
A BUY is price reaching down to the LOWER rail - not breaking it, reaching it - while the close is still above the middle. The bar went looking for liquidity at the bottom of the channel and came back with it. A SELL is the mirror image.
The middle-line condition is the whole filter, and it is worth being blunt about what happens without it. Turned off, this becomes a tool that buys every touch of the lower rail including the one that keeps going. Leave it on unless you have a specific reason not to.
Because the entry is a rejection rather than a breakout, this product pairs unusually well with the grid ladder: the first level is placed where price has already demonstrated it does not want to stay.
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 channel rejection 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 INSIDE RAIL: soft and contained, for the one product in the range that trades the channel from the inside rather than breaking out of it. Rose owns the grid, sage owns the hedge, on a light-handed base with a generous inset.
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.

Hedge cycle: symbols, rotation, cycle lots, slice lots, bonus, caps, repair
Panel position, font size, table depth, Arabic display, chart marks, verbose logging
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 channel rejection 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.
