Stoch Grid Pro EA

Strategy Description 

Modes of Operation:

1. Automatic Mode (EnableSemiAutoMode = false):
   In this mode, the EA operates completely on its own. It uses its built-in trading strategy to determine entry points, opens the first order, and then manages it by handling the grid, locking, and position closure without trader intervention.

2. Semi-Automatic Mode (EnableSemiAutoMode = true):
   In this mode, you have full control over market entry, and the EA handles all the routine work of position management. This mode is ideal for traders who prefer to conduct their own market analysis and decide when to open the first trade. To enter a trade, simply press the "BUY" or "SELL" button on the information panel.
   Once a button is pressed, Stoch Grid Pro EA immediately "catches" the opened order and begins automatic management: building a grid in case of adverse price movement, activating the locking system, and applying all configured exit rules. 

Core Trading Logic (Post-Entry):

• Entry Signal (Automatic Mode Only): The initial trade is opened when a pullback signal from the Stochastic oscillator aligns with a confirmation signal from the Higher Timeframe (HTF) trend filter.

• Grid Management (Averaging): If a position moves into a loss, the advisor builds a grid of orders at a specified GridStepPips, averaging the price. The lot size can be multiplied using GridLotMultiplier.

• Advanced Recovery System (Locking): After reaching the maximum number of grid orders (MaxGridOrdersBeforeLocking), the EA opens a hedge (locking) order to stop further loss. It then works to close positions in "pairs" (the oldest grid order + the lock order) or closes the entire series of trades upon reaching a total breakeven point.

Flexibility and Control:

• Comprehensive Risk Management: Your capital is protected by multiple layers of security. The ultimate safety net is the Equity Stop Loss, which closes all positions if the floating drawdown exceeds a specified percentage of your balance or a fixed amount in your account currency.

• Precision Filters: In automatic mode and when trading with buttons, you can use the Time Filter and Spread Filter to avoid trading in unfavorable conditions.

Key Features:

• Two modes of operation: Fully Automatic and Semi-Automatic (via Buttons only).

• Robust automatic entry signal (Stochastic + HTF MA Trend Filter).

• Flexible grid system with a configurable lot multiplier.

• Advanced Locking (Hedging) mechanism for drawdown control.

• Multiple exit strategies: grid Take Profit, Pair Closure, and Total Breakeven.

• Equity Stop Loss (% or fixed amount) as a critical safety feature.

• Time and Spread filters for professional trading.

• A stylish and informative on-chart panel with control buttons.

Disclaimer: This Expert Advisor uses grid and Martingale/locking elements, which are high-risk strategies. Past performance is not indicative of future results. We strongly recommend testing the EA on a demo account with various settings to fully understand its behavior and risk profile before using it on a live account. Start with the minimum possible risk settings. The user assumes full responsibility for using this software.
