Important Risk Disclosure
Straddle Grid EA does not guarantee profits or prevent losses. Grid and recovery strategies can accumulate multiple positions and may experience substantial floating losses during strong directional movements, market gaps, increased spreads, or periods of low liquidity.
Hedging does not eliminate market risk. Recovery features, automatic lot scaling, and multiple grid entries may increase exposure and margin requirements.
The configured profit targets, stop conditions, and loss limits are strategy controls, not guarantees of the final account result. Execution depends on market conditions, broker rules, available margin, and trading costs.
Users should select appropriate settings for their account size, verify symbol specifications, and thoroughly test the EA before live deployment.
