WHAT MAKES THIS EA SPECIAL
SuperTrend VPT uses a multi-layered entry system that filters out low-quality signals. The combination of SuperTrend indicator, Volume Price Trend analysis, and optional ADX filter ensures trades are only taken during favorable market conditions.
The grid system features automatic lot calculation based on account balance, configurable multipliers, and a clear exit strategy based on break-even price plus target points. This approach provides predictable profit targets and transparent risk management.
KEY FEATURES
INTELLIGENT ENTRY SYSTEM
- SuperTrend indicator identifies trend direction and potential reversals
- Volume Price Trend (VPT) confirms signals using volume-weighted price movement
- ADX filter optional - trade only when trend strength exceeds threshold
- Direction control: trade both sides, buy only, or sell only
AUTOMATED GRID MANAGEMENT
- Auto-lot sizing automatically scales positions based on account balance
- Configurable lot multiplier for grid expansion (1.2x, 1.5x, 2.0x, etc.)
- Maximum position limit prevents overexposure
- Maximum lot per position caps individual trade size
- Grid expands at defined point intervals when price moves against position
CLEAR EXIT STRATEGY
- Grid closes ALL positions when price reaches Break-Even plus target points
- Break-Even calculated as weighted average of all grid positions
- Predictable profit target - you always know the exit price
- First position protected with individual SL/TP/Trailing Stop until grid activates
ADVANCED FILTERING SYSTEMS
Trading Hours Filter:
- Define TWO time ranges for trading activity (broker time)
- Example: trade 08:00-12:00 and 14:00-18:00, avoid lunch period

HOW THE GRID SYSTEM WORKS
Entry Phase:
1. Signal appears (SuperTrend crossover + VPT confirmation + ADX check)
2. EA opens first position with SL/TP/Trailing protection
3. If price moves favorably, position closes at TP
4. If price moves against position, grid activates
Grid Expansion:
1. When price moves X points against position, EA opens next grid level
2. New position lot size = previous position lot × multiplier
3. Individual SL/TP removed from first position (grid takes over)
4. Grid continues expanding at intervals until max positions reached
5. Each new position has larger lot size (multiplier effect)
Grid Exit:
1. EA calculates Break-Even price (weighted average of all positions)
2. Target price = Break-Even + configured points
3. When market price reaches target, ALL positions close simultaneously
4. Grid resets, ready for next signal
EXAMPLE TRADING SCENARIO
Settings:
- Start lot: 0.01 (auto-calculated for 1000 USD account)
- Multiplier: 1.5
- Grid step: 500 points
- BE + TP: 100 points
- Max positions: 5
Trade sequence:
1. BUY signal at 2500.00 - opens P1: 0.01 lot (with SL/TP)
2. Price drops to 2495.00 (-500 pts) - opens P2: 0.015 lot (grid activated, SL/TP removed from P1)
3. Price drops to 2490.00 - opens P3: 0.02 lot (rounded from 0.0225)
4. Price drops to 2485.00 - opens P4: 0.03 lot
5. Price drops to 2480.00 - opens P5: 0.05 lot (max positions reached)
Current state:
- P1: 0.01 @ 2500.00
- P2: 0.015 @ 2495.00
- P3: 0.02 @ 2490.00
- P4: 0.03 @ 2485.00
- P5: 0.05 @ 2480.00
- Total lots: 0.125
Break-Even calculation:
BE = (2500×0.01 + 2495×0.015 + 2490×0.02 + 2485×0.03 + 2480×0.05) / 0.125
BE = 2485.80
Target price = 2485.80 + 100 points = 2495.80
When price reaches 2495.80, ALL 5 positions close with profit locked in.
