ATR Grid Trader Pro

ATR Grid Trader Pro

Description

ATR Grid Trader Pro is a multifunctional Expert Advisor (EA) for the MetaTrader 5 platform that combines grid trading technology with volatility analysis based on the Average True Range (ATR) indicator. It opens buy trades during low volatility and sell trades during high volatility, and when grid trading mode is enabled, it places additional orders at a specified step. This approach helps to efficiently use market fluctuations and adapt to various conditions, whether it’s the forex market, gold, oil (Brent/WTI), or cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.).

Key Features

Volatility-Based Trading

The EA calculates ATR on a selected timeframe and compares the value with the upper and lower thresholds (ATR_HighThreshold and ATR_LowThreshold).

A buy trade is considered when volatility is below the lower threshold.

A sell trade is considered when volatility is above the upper threshold.

Grid Trading

When the grid function (UseGrid) is enabled, additional orders are added at GridStep while maintaining a minimum distance between orders (MinGridDistance).

Limiting the number of orders in the grid (MaxGridOrders) helps manage risk.

Risk Management

Fixed lot (Lot_Size) or lot calculation based on deposit percentage (UseRiskPercent).

Stop loss and take profit are set in points and can be disabled.

Trailing stop and breakeven protect profits and minimize losses.

Trade Direction Control

Choose the trade direction: only buy, only sell, or both directions (DIRECTION_BOTH).

Useful when using external analysis or trading with the trend.

Daily Limits

Limiting the number of trades per day (MaxOrdersPerDay) prevents excessive activity.

Flexible Settings

Ability to set MagicNumber and trade comment for easy identification.

Full control over strategy: timeframe, spread, grid step, ATR periods, etc.
