My Moving Average Grid Bot

Moving Average Grid EA – Trend-Following Trade Manager

This Expert Advisor utilizes moving average crossovers to identify potential trends and manages market pullbacks through a configurable grid system. It's built for traders who want to automate entry and recovery logic within trending environments.

Strategy Overview

• Signal Logic: Long positions are opened when the fast moving average crosses above the slow moving average. Shorts are initiated on the opposite crossover. Users can define the moving average types and periods for flexible signal control.

• Grid Expansion: If price moves unfavorably after the initial trade, the EA opens additional trades at predefined intervals. This creates a grid structure designed to manage trend pullbacks with user-controlled lot progression.

• Trade Completion: Each position operates with its own take-profit target. Once price re-aligns with trend direction, the grid can close in partial or full profit based on configuration.

Key Parameters

• MA Settings: Fully customizable fast and slow moving average periods, including method selection (SMA/EMA/SMMA/LWMA).

• Grid Controls: Configure grid levels, spacing (step in points), and lot size multipliers.

• Risk Settings: Set individual SL/TP distances, max spread filter, and slippage guardrails.

• Management Features: Unique magic number for position tracking, market session filters, and auto-trade restart after basket closure.

Intended Use

This EA is best suited for trend-following strategies on symbols and timeframes where moving average crossovers provide clear directional signals. It may help traders reduce manual execution errors and streamline their response to retracement phases during trend development.

Risk Advisory

Grid trading systems carry inherent risk due to the possibility of prolonged adverse market movement. Ensure your account is sufficiently funded and that you apply appropriate lot sizing for your grid depth and risk tolerance.
