TradeVectorFX Starter

A free, fully functional proof that grid recovery trading works on U.S. NFA/FIFO-regulated accounts — no workarounds, no broker rejections, no hedging required.
Most grid EAs are built for international hedging accounts. On a U.S. NFA-regulated netting account, they either trigger broker rejections outright or require clunky workarounds that undermine the strategy. TradeVectorFX Starter exists to demonstrate that clean, native FIFO-compliant grid recovery is fully achievable — and to let you verify that on your own broker before committing to anything.
What the Starter Edition Is
TradeVectorFX Starter is a fixed-exposure, hardcoded version of the TradeVectorFX engine. It runs the same core chronological execution logic as the full commercial version — the same FIFO sequencing, the same no-hedging compliance, the same basket management — locked to safe, predictable limits so you can evaluate the mechanics with minimal risk.
It is not a stripped-down demo. The execution logic is real and fully operational. What's hardcoded are the risk parameters, to give you a transparent, verifiable baseline.
Key Features
- Sequential FIFO Execution — The EA manages its position matrix as a strict chronological sequence, closing the oldest positions first. This is the core compliance mechanism that allows grid recovery to run cleanly on NFA-regulated netting accounts without triggering broker rejections.
- No-Hedging Compliance — Opposing long and short positions are never opened simultaneously. 100% compliant with standard NFA regulations out of the box.
- Fixed 0.01 Lot Sizing — Every entry and every grid recovery leg is locked to 0.01 micro-lots. No multipliers, no geometric scaling, no aggressive lot expansion. This keeps risk predictable and makes the underlying logic easy to read and verify.
- H1 Timeframe Lock — Restricted to the 1-Hour timeframe to filter out lower-timeframe noise and align entries with macro structural movements. This is the same timeframe configuration used in the Full version's conservative H1 mode.
- Plug-and-Play Setup — Drop the EA onto an H1 EURUSD chart, set your basic basket targets, and it runs. No complex configuration required.

The Starter's fixed 0.01 lot sizing produces consistent, low-drawdown results regardless of deposit size. The Full version's performance scales with deposit as the Leverage-Adaptive Risk Engine has more capital to work with — and its drawdown compresses substantially at higher deposits on H1.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why release a free version at all? U.S. broker compliance is the central claim of TradeVectorFX. Rather than ask traders to take that on faith, the Starter edition lets you verify the FIFO execution mechanics on your own broker and account type before purchasing the full version.
Is this a demo or a real EA? It is a fully operational EA. The execution logic is identical to the Full version. The only restrictions are the hardcoded lot size (0.01) and the H1 timeframe lock — both intentional, to keep the Starter as a safe, readable proof-of-concept.
Can I run it on a demo account first? Yes, and it is encouraged. The Starter is specifically designed for demo and cent account validation before any real capital is involved.
Will it work on my international broker? Yes. The FIFO and no-hedging constraints are design requirements of the engine, not limitations. The EA runs cleanly on international accounts with hedging and higher leverage — it simply won't use those capabilities.
What's the path to upgrading? Run the Starter on your broker, verify the execution, then purchase TradeVectorFX Full when you're ready to trade with real lot sizing and the full feature set.
Risk Disclosure
Algorithmic grid trading carries inherent financial risk. Even with fixed 0.01 lot sizing, sustained uncorrected market trends can produce drawdowns. Always validate automated software on a demo or cent account before deploying on a live account with meaningful capital. Never risk capital you cannot afford to lose.
