In addition, DSG features a comprehensive, user-configurable grid recovery system, enabling traders to handle the risk management with ease.

3. Time & Day Filters: Define active trading hours and days to avoid bad sessions or news periods.
4. ATR-Based TP/SL System: Dynamically scale targets and stops using volatility.
5. Fully Configurable Grid Recovery System:
- Option to turn off grid recovery and rely on indicator entry completely,
- Adjustable lot multiplier, step size, TP-by-money, Max Position Allowed, and breakeven logic.
- Optional Max Position to BE: switch to target breakeven after a certain amount of grid positions has been opened.
6. Account Protection: Optional max-loss cutoff to guard against extreme market events.
7. No Hidden Logic: All entry and exit conditions are fully exposed and user-editable.
Entry Rules of the EA :
1. DonchianTrend (Trend-Following Mode)
In this mode, the EA uses a Donchian Channel to follow breakouts:
-
Buy Entry: Triggered when price touches the Upper Donchian band
-
Sell Entry: Triggered when price touches the Lower Donchian band
You can optionally enable an EMA filter. If enabled:
-
Buy trades are only allowed when price is above the selected EMA.
-
Sell trades are only allowed when price is below the EMA.
This filter helps confirm trend direction before entering a breakout.
2. BollingerReversal (Mean-Reversion Mode)
In this mode, the EA trades against extreme moves, assuming price will revert:
-
Buy Entry: Triggered when price touches the Lower Bollinger Band
-
Sell Entry: Triggered when price touches the Upper Bollinger Band
You can also enable the EMA trend filter in this mode:
-
If price is above the EMA (uptrend), only buy reversion trades are allowed.
-
If price is below the EMA (downtrend), only sell reversion trades are allowed.
This ensures that reversion trades are taken in the direction of the broader trend, avoiding counter-trend setups in high-momentum environments.
