To successfully implement a grid strategy, it is necessary to carefully analyze the market situation and determine the optimal grid parameters. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the basic principles of the grid strategy, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. We will delve into the mathematical calculations underlying it, analyze various approaches to grid construction, and explore ways to optimize the grid strategy to maximize profits. more...
Most spread guards in an Expert Advisor work the same way: check the current spread against a fixed number and block the trade if it is too wide. This catches some bad fills, but it treats every instrument as if the same spread value means the same thing everywhere. A spread of 3 pips on an instrument that normally trades at 1 pip is a genuine anomaly. That same 3-pip spread on an instrument that normally sits at 3 pips is completely ordinary. A static threshold cannot tell the difference. ...
In this article, the first of a series I'm calling Broker Reality Check, I build a small diagnostic EA that reads those conditions for you and flags the ones that break EAs, in plain language, before they cost you a trade. It is a tool, not a strategy. Later parts will measure the cost side of the broker (swap, spread); this one maps the rulebook. more...
This article presents the Portfolio Analyzer dashboard. It is a standalone Expert Advisor that reads account deal history, reconstructs closed positions, attributes them by magic number or normalized comment, and displays portfolio metrics without modifying any trading Expert Advisor running on the account. more...
This article presents an MQL5 indicator that uses graphical objects instead of indicator buffers to calculate and display classic daily pivot points. The levels P plus R1–R3 and S1–S3 are calculated strictly from the previous day's High/Low/Close values, while each trading session is independently managed through object creation, deletion, and updating. The implementation retrieves D1 data, draws historical pivot sessions on the chart, refreshes levels when a new daily bar begins, and extends ...
