Gold Grid Trader

Gold Grid Trader is a high-speed 1 Minute (M1) algorithmic trading Expert Advisor designed for structured and disciplined automated trading.

It combines EMA crossover trend detection with a one-direction martingale grid and smart basket exits.
The system is specially optimized for Cent accounts, where smaller effective lot sizes make grid strategies significantly safer and more stable.

This is not a random grid bot.
Every trade follows clear mathematical rules.

Strategy Logic
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The EA works in three simple stages:

Step 1 – Trend Entry
Fast EMA crosses Slow EMA on a closed candle
Buy on bullish cross
Sell on bearish cross

Step 2 – One Direction Averaging
If price moves against the trade, additional positions are added only in the same direction
Each new trade follows step distance control
Lot size increases using martingale factor

Step 3 – Basket Exit
The entire basket closes using one of these modes
• Trailing stop
• Fixed take profit points
• Fixed profit money target

This keeps recovery organized and controlled.

Cent Account Optimization (Important)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This EA is optimized and tested mainly on Cent accounts.

Cent accounts allow much smaller effective lot sizes, which makes grid and martingale strategies significantly safer for beginners and testers.

Recommended Base Lot (Cent Accounts)

• 0.01 – Very Safe
• 0.02 – Safe (recommended default)
• 0.05 – Medium risk / faster growth

Recommended Base Lot (Standard Accounts)

Use much smaller lots.

Example:
• $1000 balance → 0.01 or lower

Standard accounts carry 100x higher exposure compared to Cent accounts.
Always reduce lot size accordingly.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Risk Management Controls
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

To prevent uncontrolled exposure, the EA includes:

• Maximum grid levels
• Step distance control
• Spread filter
• Slippage protection
• Basket profit exit
• Manual lot adjustment
• Hedge enable/disable

These settings allow full control over risk.

Important Notice
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
