How It Works
- Entry Signal: The C bot monitors EMA crossovers and price action to identify entry opportunities (configurable)
- Initial Position: Opens first position with base lot size
- Grid Management: If price moves against the position by Grid Distance pips, adds another position with martingale lot sizing
- Risk Control: Each position has a hard stop-loss; total exposure capped by Max Risk %
- Take Profit: Positions target fixed take-profit levels, closing individually or as a basket

DISCLAIMER

Trading foreign exchange and commodities on margin carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
Gold Vortex EA employs grid and martingale strategies which, by their nature, can lead to significant drawdowns during adverse market conditions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The historical performance metrics presented (196% growth, 21.23% max drawdown) are based on a specific 6-month period and may not be repeatable under different market conditions.

By using this robot, you acknowledge that:
- You have tested the EA thoroughly on a demo account
- You understand the mechanics of martingale and grid strategies
