Trading Logic
The EA identifies the price range (High/Low) established during the opening minutes of the US market. It places pending orders to capture directional momentum driven by high liquidity.
- No Dangerous Methods: This EA does NOT use Grid, Martingale, or averaging techniques.
- Strict Risk Control: Every trade is protected by a hard Stop Loss.
-
Efficiency: The system is filtered to trade only during high-probability windows (maximum 1 trade per day).
Key Features
- Flexible Risk Management: Choose between Fixed Lot, % Risk, or Balance-proportional lot sizing.
- Dynamic Trailing Stop: A 3-parameter exit system designed to lock in profits during fast moves.
- Recovery Module (Optional): Includes a configurable multiplier for the next trade after a loss (can be completely disabled).
-
Backtest Transparency: Developed using "Every tick based on real ticks" for maximum accuracy.
Grid Feature Implementation: Added a dynamic grid mechanism specifically tailored for US30 trading around the New York Session Open.
During the NY open, US30 frequently exhibits high initial volatility, often sweeping liquidity with an aggressive impulse in one direction before mean-reverting back toward the opening price levels.
The grid feature—paired with a wider overall Stop Loss—allows the EA to absorb these temporary fakeouts and liquidity hunts, averaging the entry price and capitalizing on the subsequent retracement toward the mean.

Important risk notice
The Grid module is an optional feature and is considerably riskier than trading with single positions. Instead of closing a losing trade, the EA adds further positions at predefined distances and aims to close the whole basket in profit when price returns. This can be profitable when used correctly, but a strong, sustained trend against the basket can lead to large losses, especially with a lot multiplier above 1.0.
Use the Grid only with full awareness of these risks. Always run thorough backtests (including strong trending periods and high-volatility phases), verify the results on a demo account, and set the maximum risk (levels, lot size and drawdown limit) to an amount you can truly afford to lose. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
A genuinely good & profitable EA, that stands head and shoulders above the others.
