Grid Recovery EA — NFA/FIFO Compliant — MetaTrader 5
TradeVectorFX is a grid recovery Expert Advisor engineered specifically for U.S. NFA/FIFO-regulated trading accounts. Standard grid EAs open opposing positions simultaneously or close trades out of chronological order — triggering instant broker rejections on NFA-regulated accounts. TradeVectorFX solves this by enforcing strict FIFO order and managing grid baskets as single unified entities, making it fully compliant on both U.S. netting and international hedging accounts.
How it works
TradeVectorFX enters the market when its trend-strength filter identifies a directional signal. If price moves against the initial trade, it adds up to 4 grid legs at dynamically spaced intervals, averaging down the basket's entry price. The basket is managed as a single unit with a trailing take-profit target that scales with your account equity. When the basket closes in profit, the EA resets and looks for the next opportunity.
Key features
- FIFO/NFA compliant — positions open and close in strict chronological order; no hedging, no out-of-order closes
- Leverage-adaptive lot sizing — base lot and trailing TP scale automatically with equity and leverage
- Equity-scaled lot cap — hard ceiling on auto-scaled lot size for larger accounts
- ATR dynamic grid spacing — grid leg intervals expand automatically with H4 volatility
- ADX trend-strength filter — suppresses entries during strong directional trends
- Basket trailing take-profit — entire basket trails as a unit; individual legs never closed in isolation
- Calendar and time-of-day filters — per-day toggles (Mon–Sun) and configurable trading hours
- Post-close defensive pause — configurable cooldown after risk-management closes only; winning closes do not pause
- Early January blackout — blocks new baskets during thin holiday liquidity window
- Max basket loss guard — optional close if basket exceeds defined dollar loss threshold

What changed in v1.10
- Grid depth default raised to 4 legs — extended testing showed the 4th leg meaningfully reduces capped-basket duration and balance drawdown during adverse moves
- Grid spacing multiplier raised to 1.50 — better risk-adjusted profile: PF up 2.58 → 2.71, max equity DD down 18.2% → 15.7% at the $10k baseline
- Configurable lot cap (InpLotCapMax) — hard ceiling on auto-scaled lot size for accounts of $50k+
- Equity-scaled TP targets — basket trailing TP and lot sizing adjust automatically as your account grows
Risk disclosure
Grid recovery strategies carry inherent risk of extended drawdowns during sustained one-directional market moves. Each added grid leg increases total exposure. Always backtest on your specific broker's data before live deployment. Never risk capital you cannot afford to lose.
