## STRATEGY AND POSITION LIMITS
The cBot uses a recovery/grid strategy with progressive position sizing.
When the market moves against an active sequence, the cBot may automatically open additional recovery positions in the same direction.
The **0.01 lot limit applies only to the starting position**. The Starting Lot Size is permanently locked and cannot be changed by the user.
Recovery position sizes are calculated automatically by the cBot according to its internal recovery logic and may increase progressively as additional recovery positions are opened.
Recovery positions can therefore be larger than 0.01 lot, but every individual Buy and Sell position is limited to a maximum of **0.15 lot**.
The 0.15 lot limit applies to each individual position. It is not a limit on the combined account exposure.
The strategy permits:
• Maximum Buy positions: **25**
• Maximum Sell positions: **25**
• Maximum theoretical simultaneous positions: **50**
Positions in the same direction are managed with a shared Take Profit.
A fixed Stop Loss is not enabled by default.
## OPTIONAL ACCOUNT PROTECTION
The Core edition includes optional trailing-equity account protection.
Maximum Loss measures the fall in account equity from the highest equity reached since the cBot was started. A value of 0 disables this protection.
After the selected Maximum Loss is reached, the cBot attempts to close all account positions and performs the selected action:
• Close all positions and stop the cBot
• Close all positions and continue trading
• Close all positions and pause for 12 hours
• Close all positions and pause for 24 hours
• Close all positions and pause for 3 days
This protection applies to the entire trading account. It may also close manually opened positions and positions opened by other cBots.
A dedicated trading account is therefore recommended.
Restarting the cBot cancels an active timed pause.

## RISK INFORMATION
This cBot uses a recovery/grid strategy with progressive position sizing.
The Starting Lot Size is permanently locked at 0.01 lot. However, this limit applies only to the starting position.
Recovery positions are managed automatically by the cBot and their position sizes may increase progressively according to the internal recovery logic, up to the maximum permitted individual position size of 0.15 lot.
During strong or prolonged adverse market movements, the cBot may hold multiple positions simultaneously. This can cause significant floating drawdown, higher margin usage and the possible loss of the trading account.
The fixed starting lot and individual-position limits reduce position-size exposure but do not eliminate trading risk.
Backtest and live results may differ because of spread, commission, swap, slippage, liquidity, execution, broker conditions and historical data differences.
Testing on a demo account before live trading is recommended.
Prop-firm compliance is not claimed.
Trading involves risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
## DEVELOPER
Developed by **M-Algo Systems**.
Summary
The strategy uses shared Take Profit management for positions in the same direction and does not enable a fixed Stop Loss by default. An optional trailing-equity account protection feature monitors maximum loss from peak equity and can close all positions and pause or stop trading based on user settings. This protection applies to the entire account, including manually opened or other cBot positions.
The cBot requires a hedging account, is optimized for IC Markets data, and recommends a minimum balance of €2,000 with 1:500 leverage. It is intended for users seeking fixed, tested settings without advanced optimization controls. Historical backtesting from 2014 to 2026 shows a profit factor of 1.67 and a maximum balance drawdown of 8.43%. Users should test on demo accounts before live deployment.
