IMPORTANT RISK WARNING
This EA uses grid / martingale averaging. Lot sizes grow while a basket is open and drawdown can become large. Losses can exceed what you expect and can wipe out the account. Start on a demo account or a cent account, use lot sizes that match your balance, and use the drawdown protection settings. Past performance and backtest results do not guarantee future results. Trading Forex and CFDs carries a high level of risk.
