Grid Body Focus Candles EA
SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Body Focus Candles strategy, wired into a complete grid, hedge and cycle engine. The candle body 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 - BODY FOCUS CANDLES
This is the part that carries the name. The published Body Focus Candles indicator strips a chart down to what the market actually committed to. A wick is a price that was reached and rejected. A body is a price that was reached and held. The indicator repaints the chart so only the bodies are visible, and colours the ones that matter.
The classification uses two independent ratios, and the EA reads both.
Body against range is conviction inside the bar. A candle that closed on its own extreme has no wick left to argue with it, and a body filling seventy percent or more of the range is a bar the market meant.
Body against price is size in its own right. This is what separates a real decision from a doji, and the order of the two tests matters: a very small bar can have a body filling its entire tiny range, a perfect conviction score, and still be nothing at all. Size is tested first, exactly as the indicator does it.
A strong bull body arms a BUY cycle. A strong bear body arms a SELL cycle.
Three filters are available on top of that, and each one exists for a reason.
A run of consecutive strong bodies the same colour, for when one candle is not enough.
A trend line - a simple average of the close - that the candle must close on the correct side of. A strong body pushed against the trend is usually a failed push, and this is the one filter that keeps a grid from seeding its first level into the last candle of an exhausted move.
An average body size test, so the bar must also beat the recent average body. A quiet session can otherwise produce a technically perfect strong candle that is, in money, nothing.
You can also keep the original distance trigger, or require both: the candle 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 body 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 CANDLE SLATE: warm graphite with a single hard edge, matching an indicator that is about bodies and nothing else. Amber owns everything the grid does, teal owns everything the hedge does, and both cards take the right corners on a tight pitch, so the panel reads like a printed ticket. 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. Because the signal is pure price action, it needs no indicator handles and no history beyond a few dozen bars. No DLLs, no external indicator files, nothing to install beyond the EA itself.
A NOTE ON EXPECTATIONS
A grid is a way of managing a position, not a way of predicting a market. The candle body 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.
