🦀 MR KRABS XAU — Gold Grid Trader for cTrader (No-Martingale)

Turn XAUUSD volatility into structured profits. MR KRABS XAU builds an adaptive grid (ATR-based or fixed), applies per-level TP/SL, and secures baskets with a Global Take-Profit—all while defaulting to no martingale and protecting equity.

✨ Why traders choose it

• 🟡 Gold-specialized logic for XAUUSD
• 📈 ATR spacing adapts to real volatility (or use fixed $ step)
• 🛡️ Equity shield + max levels to cap exposure
• 🎯 Basket TP closes all positions under the same label in profit
• ⏱️ Session window + spread filter for clean execution
• 🔁 Long-only / Short-only / Both modes to match your bias

🔧 How it works (plain English)

1. Measures volatility (ATR) → computes a step.
2. Places limit orders above/below price to buy dips / sell pops.
3. When filled, applies per-position TP/SL and watches a global TP in currency.
4. If equity falls to your threshold, Equity Stop exits and clears pendings.
