Summary

AI summary

gridv3 improvedemo is an aggressive grid trading bot designed specifically for the XAUUSD (Gold) market on the 1-minute (M1) timeframe. It operates using a grid strategy with seven levels and a grid step of 1.31, placing limit orders to capitalize on price fluctuations. The bot includes risk management features such as a per-trade stop loss set at $10, maximum exposure limits, and loss streak protection that pauses trading after four consecutive losses for 15 minutes. It incorporates volatility-based controls using the Average True Range (ATR) indicator with configurable multipliers to adjust grid spacing and stop loss levels. Additional risk controls limit maximum drawdown, daily loss, and session loss percentages. The bot does not enable break-even, trailing stops, or recovery trading in its recommended preset. It is intended for demo accounts only and will stop immediately if run on a live account. The recommended environment is a demo account with a minimum balance of $80, trading XAUUSD on the M1 chart. The bot uses a high-frequency scalping style with dynamic risk management and supports limit order types. Backtesting was performed with 500 leverage. This product is suitable for quantitative analysis and includes features to manage spread, shock events, and trend confirmation.
