BlueSwift GridRescue – MT4/MT5 – consumer guide – Buying and selling Methods – 17 April 2023

(Model 1.0)

–a product by BluesAlgo Ltd 2023 

That is consumer guide for utilizing BlueSwift’s Grid Rescue Professional (‘BlueSwift’)

Glossary for phrases used on this guide:

–       TopOrder / BottomOrder: TopOrder implies that newest order  opened within the grid i.e. final order, BottomOrder means the primary order within the grid collection, i.e. the primary order. When grid’s order(s) are closed, the ‘TopOrder’ and ‘BottomOrder’ aliases might be ‘handed’ to the present working orders. That’s why I keep away from utilizing ‘First’ or ‘Final’ order phrases as a result of this indicate the very first order being opened by the grid collection, which can be already closed

–       Grid Cluster (or Grid Pair): the mix of two or three orders within the grid of which their revenue is tracked and they’d be closed collectively as soon as the precise situation is met.

–  Grid Measurement: the rely of orders in a grid. For instance 2 means there are presently 2 lively orders within the grid

–       2-Node: grid order cluster with 2 orders TopOrder and BottomOrder

–       3-Node: grid order cluster with 3 orders TopOrder, BottomOrder and one MiddleOrder. The MiddleOrder might be decided as follows:

Grid’s dimension	Components	Instance
Lower than 7 orders	two orders beneath the TopOrder	For a grid with 6 orders, this could be the 4th orders (6-2 = 4)
Greater than 7 however Lower than 10 orders	three orders beneath the TopOrder	For a grid with 10 orders, this could be the 7th orders (10-3 = 7)
10 orders or extra	4 orders beneath the TopOrder

–       Revenue-to-close: the sum $ of revenue (-loss) quantity for all orders in a grid cluster at which BlueSwift GridRescue will shut them. That is the entire of revenue, swap, and fee $ for every order.

–       Rescue Iteration: the iteration 1st, 2nd, 3rd of every order shut occasion. BlueSwift maintain monitor of what number of iteration every Rescue Mode has been executed and in addition the entire rescue iteration for the entire grid (no matter rescue mode)

–       Rescue Mode: the mode that BlueSwift used to shut grid cluster. These are bots working in parallel on each tick with completely different order shut’s logic. On the time of this writing (v1.0), there are 5 modes in BlueSwift with their nickname in brackets:

• Fundamental Mode (‘SubGrid Shut’)
• Panic Mode (‘Panic Shut’)
• TimeCritical Mode (‘Crit Shut’) (ß this mode utilise the NewsFilter sub-module)
• HardClose Mode (‘Onerous Shut’)
• OutOfTime Mode (‘OutOfTime Shut’)

  Enter Parameters instruction

1. BASIC RESCUE MODE

#	Inputs	Description	Values & examples
1	Enable fundamental Rescue Mode?	That is toggle to allow / disable rescue mode	True/False. That is the principle toggle for all rescue modes in BlueSwift. i.e. if you wish to change off BlueSwift operation, you’ll be able to simply have to set this to ‘False’
2	Image(s)-separated by comma (,)	Listing of Image which BlueSwift would function on. Order’s Image that not on this listing might be ignore by BlueSwift. For extra details about BlueSwift monitoring mechanism, refer beneath	String listing of dealer’s symbols, separated by comma(,):  – “EURUSD,GBPUSD,USDJPY”In case your dealer use suffix for his or her symbols, you’ll be able to both use the “Dealer’s image suffix” enter parameter beneath or simply insert it instantly right here as follows:  – “EURUSD.professional,GBPUSD.professional,USDJPY.professional“if this discipline left clean, then BlueSwift will solely function on the present chart’s image solely (i.e. the chart’s image the place you drop BlueSwift on)
3	Dealer’s image suffix	Dealer’s designated suffix for his or her tradable symbols	Apart from #2, you may as well add your dealer’s suffix for buying and selling image right here. For instance: in case your dealer’s devices are EURUSD.ecn then put “.ecn”in case your dealer’s devices are EURUSD.. then put “..”This may be clean in case you already embody the image suffix within the discipline #3 above
4	Monitoring EA’s Magic quantity(s) to rescue – separated by comma (,)	Listing of Magic Quantity which BlueSwift would function on. Order’s Magic that not on this listing might be ignore by BlueSwift	Instance: 1234,555333,459282
5	Monitoring EA Commerce remark to rescue	The remark of the tracked EA – This is able to be useful in case you wish to monitor separate sub-grid inside the identical skilled’s magic with a typical remark.	Some grid specialists on market use order’s remark to handle their order, as a result of the orders possibly identical image and magic quantity however with completely different remark. For instance: ”grid_ea-M15” versus “grid_ea-H1”
6	Don’t examine Monitoring EA’S comment- ifTrue, monitor <SymbolMagicType>	If True, then ignore grid order’s remark. BlueSwift would solely detect and monitor order with identical Image, Route and Magic Quantity	if that is True, then GridRescue will ignore order’s remark (i.e. worth in #5)
7	Order rely To Begin Rescue	Variety of opened orders within the grid that will set off Fundamental Rescue bot operation	Integers.For instance, if consumer set this worth to 4, which implies that BlueSwift’s would solely begin to attemp fundamental rescue perform when there are 4 or extra opened orders within the tracked grid
8	GridCluster’s Revenue to shut ($)	the $ quantity of revenue at which might BlueSwift will shut sub-grid cluster	For instance if that is set to $1, then when the sub-grid cluster’s revenue is $1 or extra, then all order within the sub-grid cluster might be closed. This worth could be damaging
9	Present Monitoring Panel?	Toggle On/Off grid monitoring panel on the present skilled’s chart	True/False. If True: show the BlueSwift dashboard panel on chart which might present lively grid collection positioned by different Consultants (if any) presently lively within the account
10	Panel’s textual content dimension	Change the font dimension of the panel’s textual content
11	Panel’s textual content coloration	Change the font coloration of the panel’s textual content

2 ADVANCED RESCUE OPTIONS

2.1 BASIC CLOSE RESCUE MODE – ADVANCE OPTION (dynamic Revenue-to-close($) and Cluster Scheme for every iteration)

Description

This mode right here is an extension of the Fundamental Shut mode – which permit consumer to dynamically set the Revenue-to-close($) and the Cluster Mode (2-Node, or 3-Node) for every of the iterations, as an alternative of just one mounted worth of Revenue-to-close ($) and Cluster Scheme



#	Inputs	Description	Values & examples
2.1.1	Rescue Scheme	The scheme for the present iteration (i.e. 2-Node or 3-Node)	Choices: –   _default_, –   _3node_only_, –   _2node_for_less_than_7_orders_, –   _2node_for_less_than_10_orders_, –   _iteration_based_, _default_: if grid’s dimension lower than or equal to 4 orders then the default scheme is 2-Node, 5-10 is 3-Node _3node_only_, at all times attempt to use 3-Node scheme, i.e. at all times kind a cluster of three grid order and shut them collectively on the Revenue-To-Shut _2node_for_less_than_7_orders_: if grid’s dimension is lower than 7 order than use 2-Node, and when 7 orders for greater than use 3-Node _2node_for_less_than_10_orders_: if grid’s dimension is lower than 7 order than use 2-Node, and when 10 orders for greater than use 3-Node _iteration_based_, this selection let consumer outline particular Revenue-to-close and the cluster scheme for every iteration with the syntax scheme:profit-to-close utilizing #2.1.2, separated by comma. For instance: if consumer put in “2:-1.25, 3:-2.50, 2:2.0, 3:-0.1” which might implies that – 1st iteration: shut 2 orders when their Revenue-to-close = -$1.25 – 2nd iteration: shut 3 orders when their Revenue-to-close = -$2.5 – third iteration: shut 2 orders when their Revenue-to-close = $2.0 – 4th iteration: shut 3 orders when their Revenue-to-close = -$0.1 In order that consumer has full freedom to instruct at which stage of Revenue-To-Shut this mode ought to shut and between 2-Node or 3-Node scheme. A greatest follow is to strive a low, damaging Revenue-to-close on the early iteration after which steadily improve this quantity for subsequent iteration so to keep away from chance of deep drawdown and simpler to shut a part of the grid on the early stage. For the _iteration_based_ choice, the final iteration setting within the enter will proceed for use till the entire grid is closed, so within the instance above, the SubGrid Shut bot will proceed to shut 3 orders at -$0.1 for the fifth, sixth, seventh … iteration and so on. —————————————- *creator notice: more often than not, I exploit solely _default_, _3node_only_ and _iteration_based_ as a result of private desire, as I’m not want to let my grid get to greater than 5 working orders
2.1.2	Iteration Mode and ProfitToClose (If choose RescueScheme = _Iteration_based_)	The listing of RescueScheme and Revenue-To-Shut for every iteration, separate by comma	scheme:profit-to-close Instance: 2:1.25, 3:2.5, 2:2.0, 3:2.0, 3:1, 3:1, 3:0.5, 3:0.5 (white-space between the comma might be mechanically trimmed, so to not fear)

2.2 PANIC CLOSE RESCUE MODE

Description

‘Panic Shut’ rescue mode is a characteristic which specialised for ‘panic’ circumstances, with the next ‘triggers’:

• grid’s drawdown ($) have reached an alarming stage
• grid dimension (rely of order) have turn into many
• grid’s most lotsize has turn into too massive

When a number of of those set off are met, the grid can be thought-about in ‘Panic’ mode à the Panic Mode bot will try to shut TopOrder and BottomOrder.

From my reseach and expertise, the components chosen above has been the first issue contribute to the expansion of drawdown and account’s margin name and therefore will should be managed to ensure that the grid’s drawdown to be ‘sustainable’. Relying on the tracked grid EA logic, customers can outline the metric of those triggers to find out if the grid’s publicity have ‘entered’ Panic mode 



#	Inputs	Description	Acceptable values & examples
2.2.1	Use PanicClose Rescue Mode?	That is toggle to allow / disable PanicClose rescue mode	True/False
2.2.2	Order’s rely for PanicClose (0 = disable)	The variety of order within the grid whenever you need the PanicClose mode to begin execute rescue.	For instance, in case you set this to five, then PanicClose would solely begin execute rescue when there are 5 or extra orders within the grid. That is to keep away from PanicClose being executed prematurely and scale back the chance for the entire grid being closed as an alternative
2.2.3	MaxDrawdown for PanicClose (0 = disable)	The extent of Drawdown ($) whenever you need the PanicClose mode to begin execute rescue	Identical as above, PanicClose bot is not going to try to shut orders till the grid’s drawdown has reached this stage. Instance: if this set to -90, then PanicClose bot would begin shut TopOrder and Backside Order (on the Revenue-to-close outlined) ONLY when grid’s drawdown is at -$90 or extra (i.e. working revenue of TopOrder + BottomOrder is -$90 or much less).
2.2.4	MaxLotSize for PanicClose (0 = disable)	The Most lot dimension to find out if grid is in ‘Panic mode’.	Identical as above, PanicClose bot is not going to try to shut orders till the grid’s most lot dimension has reached this stage   Instance: If consumer set this to 0.12 then the tracked grid can be thought-about ‘Panic’ when an order with 0.12 lot dimension is opened
2.2.5	Revenue stage ($) for panic shut	The sum of TopOrder and BottomOrder at which PanicClose bot woud shut them	May be damaging – which might enable PanicClose at small loss
2.2.6	Place of 2nd panic order [0=Smallest order, 1=next grid order …]	‘2nd panic order’ means the BottomOrder to be tracked along with the TopOrder. This permits consumer to choose another ‘BottomOrder’ as an alternative of the default one	That is used when the gap between the present High and Backside order within the grid is simply too far-off which make it tough for the their revenue’s sum to achieve the Revenue-to-close stage (in #2.2.5). Thus consumer can set an ‘various’ BottomOrder with a smaller distance, therefore improve the possibility for PanicClose bot to execute.
2.2.7	Scale back/Improve ProfiToClose in subsequent PanicClose	This toggle enable consumer to vary the preliminary Revenue-to-close for each subsequent PanicClose iteration	True/False If True, the Panic’s preliminary Revenue-to-close (outlined in #2.2.5) might be ‘drifted’ by the quantity (in #2.2.8 beneath) upward (if “+ve”) or downward (if “-ve”)
2.2.8	Step to scale back (-) or improve(+)	The ‘drift’ step by which the Panic Revenue-to-close can be modified by	Instance: On condition that the preliminary Revenue-to-close (#2.2.5) is -8 and #2.2.7 is True, if consumer set this to six then:  – 1st PanicClose iteration: Revenue-to-close = -$8  – 2nd PanicClose iteration: Revenue-to-close = -$2 (-8 + 6)  – 3rd PanicClose iteration: Revenue-to-close = $4 (-2 + 6)  – 4rd PanicClose iteration: Revenue-to-close = $10 (4 + 6) and so forth…
2.2.9	Min/Max Change to cease drift ProfitToClose	The entire quantity of change past which the drift would cease	This cease additional drift of Revenue-to-close when to complete collected change from the step reached this quantity. Proceed from the instance in #2.2.8 above: if consumer set this to 12, then the drift will cease on the 2nd iteration as a result of 6 (1st iteration) +6 (2nd iteration) = 12
2.2.10	IsPanicCloseBottomOrderIfBetter?	Instruction for PanicClose bot to match the revenue sum for default High/Backside pair options	True/false On condition that the worth in  #2.2.6 isn’t 0, i.e. the PanicClose pair is fashioned utilizing the choice BottomOrder, then when that is True, PanicClose bot will evaluate the 2 pairs’ revenue sum and decide the most effective one which reached present Revenue-to-close:  TopOrder + default BottomOrder  TopOrder + various BottomOrder That is for the situation the place the tracked grid Professional subsequent order opened would possibly change the optimum pair between the (1) and (2), in order that consumer gained’t be ‘locked in’ by the selection he/she made in #2.2.6 above
2.2.11	Disable panic shut after n time	This specify what number of instances BlueSwift would use Panic Shut for a grid collection. As soon as this restrict has reached then BlueSwift would NOT proceed to execute panic shut. That is to keep away from panic shut getting used an excessive amount of and in case of damaging revenue to shut (as specified above) would erode the revenue earned by the tracked EA	Integer: 1,2,3,.. and so on., Beneficial values needs to be between 8 to fifteen instances

2.3 TIME CRITICAL CLOSE RESCUE MODE

Description

Instruct GridRescue to shut order base on time interval. This mode is helpful for grid system that’s time-sensitive for instance, buying and selling system entry / exit base on Information occasion or outlined time-range (equivalent to London or US open)

On this mode, the principle set off parameter are:

• The TopOrder’s revenue
• The BottomOrder’s opening period

The primary rationale for the 2 triggers above is that: the longer the BottomOrder keep open the upper the possibility consumer being caught in unfavorable place if market transfer in opposition to the grid. Thus consumer can set the period worth so the CritClose bot will kick-in to aim shut out the grid

The built-in NewsFilter module is mix with this mode to permit consumer outline exiting situation & technique throughout pre- and post-Information occasions intervals



#	Inputs	Description	Values & examples
2.3.1	Use TimeCriticalClose Rescue Mode?	That is toggle to allow / disable TimeCriticalClose rescue mode	True/False
2.3.2	Panic purpose that allow CritClose	<utilized in mixture with PanicClose> This feature is used when consumer wish to restrict CritClose to being executed ONLY when the grid is in throughout Panic mode (detected by PanicClose bot). if you do not need this restriction you’ll be able to select the explanation = _no_panic_reason_	Choices: _1_or_more_panic_reason_: allow CritClose base on any ‘panic’ standards: e.g. as a result of both drawdown stage, order’s rely or max lotsize opened _for_drawdown_or_maxlot_only_: allow   CritClose might be executed when the tracked grid is underneath any both drawdown stage or max lotsize opened triggers  _for_drawdown_only:  allow CritClose base on the Drawdown standards in PanicClose bot _for_maxlot_only_: allow CritClose base on the MaxLot standards in PanicClose bot _for_drawdown_and_maxlot_only_: allow CritClose base on each Drawdown and MaxLot standards in PanicClose bot _no_panic_reason_ : no want Panic mode to allow CritClose
2.3.3	Set TimeRange(s) for CriticalClose, separated by comma	The time vary wherein CritClose is lively base on dealer’s server time (displayed within the Terminal’s MarketWatch)	String of time-range, separate by comma (,) Format for every time vary (Begin Time and Finish Time): “hh:mm” The time-range syntax can be Begin Time-Finish Time For instance 04:30-10:00 means Begin Time = 4:30 and Finish Time = 10:00 Consumer can set a number of timeranges, separated by comma: 04:30-10:00,14:30-22:59 In order that CritClose will solely be lively inside these ranges
2.3.4	CriticalClose when BottomOrder has been opened > N minutes	Open period of BottomOrder. CritClose will solely activated when the BottomOrder’s open period has handed this quantity	Integer Instance, if consumer set this to 30 → CritClose will try to shut High and BottomOrder as soon as BottomOrder has been opened greater than half-hour (supplied that TopOrder’s revenue standards meet the worth in #2.3.5 beneath)
2.3.5	TopOrder Revenue ($) for CriticalClose	Minimal revenue ($) of TopOrder at which CritClose will shut TopOrder with BottomOrder	Float May be damaging
2.3.6	[AllGrid] Revenue ($) for CriticalClose	<Extented choice>  when the monitoring grid attain this revenue stage CritClose will attempt to shut the entire grid as an alternative of simply TopOrder and BottomOrder
2.3.7	[AllGrid] Min order’s rely for CriticalClose	<Extented choice used with #2.3.6>  Minimal Grid Measurement enable for CritClose to shut entire grid
2.3.8	Solely Shut all Grid?	<Prolonged choice>  shut all opened orders for the entire grid as an alternative of simply the High and Backside order	True/False if True : instruct CritClose bot to ONLY shut entire grid, i.e. it will ignore High&BottomOrderClose (#2.3.5) and ForceClose parameters (#2.3.9 and #2.3.10)
2.3.9	Power-Shut At EndTime	<Prolonged choice>  execute TimeCriticalClose yet another time proper on the finish of the desired time-range	True/False Utilizing the instance in #2.3.3: if True, then CritClose bot will try to shut High and Backside orders when server time is 10:00 and 22:59
2.3.10	Power-Shut Ignore Max Period	<Prolonged choice used with #2.3.9>  used with Power-Shut At EndTime choice. This specified if ForceClose bot ignoring the open-duration attribute of the Backside order within the grid	True/False If True: ignore Backside order’s open-duration when carry out ForceClose. That is for further aggressive exit technique, CritClose will skip the BottomOrder period standards ———————————— *Creator notice: use this with warning as this may increasingly trigger CritClose to shut High and Backside order with giant loss if the TopOrder revenue (#2.3.5) is simply too low to compensate for the loss in BottomOrder
2.3.11	Allow Information Filter?	This toggle to allow/disable including NewsFilter for CritClose rescue mode.	True/False
2.3.12	Minutes earlier than information		Integer Beneficial values to be 30, 60, 90, or greater than 120
2.3.13	Minutes after information		Integer Beneficial values to be 30, or 60
2.3.14	Information Influence to filter	The Information occasion’s influence for NewsFilter. Solely information with this influence or larger would allow CritClose bot motion	Choices: _LowImpact_ _MediumImpact_ _HighImpact_
2.3.15	Information’s foreign money to examine	CritClose would solely motion on the tracked grid’s image if it accommodates the foreign money impacted by the present lively Information occasion	Listing of foreign money, separated by comma Instance: USD,EUR,GBP This is able to have an effect on: XAUUSD All EUR main and crosses All USD main and crosses All GPB main and crosses
2.3.16	OpenMinutes:Revenue:MinGridSize:IsAllGrid?	That is the OrderClose setting for activate CritClose bot to shut High and BottomOrder when NewsFilter detect lively Information occasion	Syntax: OpenMinutes:Revenue:MinGridSize:IsAllGrid? Instance: “5:0:2:true” This implies:  – `5’: as soon as the BottomOrder has been opened for greater than 5 minutes   – `0’: at $0.00 revenue (break even)  – `2’ when there’s a minimum of 2 orders within the grid  – `True’: Shut entire grid solely, i.e. #2.3.8
2.3.17	minutes Earlier than Excessive information	period size (in minutes) Earlier than excessive information occasion	As per #2.3.12
2.3.18	minutes After Excessive information	period size (in minutes) After excessive information occasion	As per #2.3.13
2.3.19	Key phrases to examine, comma separated- syntax Forex:phrases	The key phrases and foreign money filter to find out if a Information occasion is of ‘Excessive’ class	As per #2.3.16
2.3.20	CritClose Choices round Excessive Information	That is the OrderClose setting for activate CritClose bot to shut High and BottomOrder when NewsFilter detect lively Excessive Information occasion	As per #2.3.16 This parameter enable consumer to set a separated, extra aggressive exit standards round Excessive Information occasions like Non-farm payroll or Fed speaker.
2.3.21	Present NewsFilter Panel on Chart	Toggle On/Off for show of NewsFilter Panel	True/False Observe: suggest to show this off in Technique Tester to hurry up the back-test velocity in case you don’t want to check the CritClose exercise round Information occasion

2.4 HARD CLOSE RESCUE MODE

Description

This mode will enable consumer to shut the present BottomOrder within the grid as soon as the grid’s drawdown has reached a sure stage. This thus act a gentle ‘stop-loss’ for the grid, stop margin name and presever fairness (i.e. emergency mode) 



#	Inputs	Description	Values & examples
2.4.1	Use HardClose Rescue Mode?	Toggle to allow/disable HardClose rescue mode	True/False
2.4.2	Grid’s DD stage(s) to begin closing backside order, comma “,” separated	Regularly closing down backside orders first when this Drawdown stage was reached	Float-negative worth Instance -500.90 -> which suggests a drawdown of -$500.90 Consumer-error-proofed: BlueSwift EA has a built-in validation to make sure that in case consumer, by mistake, key in a optimistic worth, HardClose bot wouldn’t be executed. Please keep in mind to double-check this worth to make sure you kind in a damaging worth Consumer can set a number of drawdown stage for every HardClose iteration: Instance: “-90,-160,-120” -> this implies:   – 1st HardClose iteration: shut BottomOrder when grid’s drawdown is -$90  – 2nd HardClose iteration: shut BottomOrder when grid’s drawdown is -$160  – third HardClose iteration: shut BottomOrder when grid’s drawdown is -$120 As soon as it get to the ultimate iteration within the listing, the drawdown stage might be reset again to the primary merchandise within the listing, i.e. with the instance above, HardClose bot will shut BottomOrder in 4th iteration at -$90 drawdown  ———————-  Creator’s notice: really useful to make use of a rising drawdowns listing with round 4 or 5 iteration: equivalent to: -90,-150,-260,-390. This could enable HardClose exercise whereas on the identical time enable room for brand spanking new order with larger lotsize to shut out the grid when market come again
	Take Revenue stage ($) shut entire grid	Revenue ($) stage for HardClose bot to shut the entire grid
	IsCloseBothWay? If True: shut each BUY&SELL course	If there are presently each BUY and SELL grids on a symbol-magic: this selection would allow HardClose bot to shut each grids.	True/False If true: Shut out grids of each course  That is helpful for hedged grid system the place they’ve working BUY and SELL grids concurrently

2.5 OUT-OF-TIME CLOSE RESCUE MODE

Description

This mode will enable consumer to instruct BlueSwift to strive closing the entire grid when exterior of specified time-range (the other of CritClose). That is  helpful to keep away from having working orders throughout rollover or low liquidity intervals equivalent to weekend, mid-night rollover, market vacation



#	Enter	Description	Values & examples
2.5.1	Is OutOfTimeClose Enabled?	toggle to allow / disable Out-of-Time Shut rescue mode	True/FalseIf True: BlueSwift would strive closing grid’s opened order when out of specified time-range

Why utilizing this Professional


Do you employ a grid/martingale system to your buying and selling? Do the next issues sound acquainted to you:

• You solely have small capital $100-$500 to begin with buying and selling however you need the 8-10% month-to-month return from a grid system? 

• You utilize grid / martingale technique however consistently have to maintain Drawdown at a cushty stage beneath your “pain-tolerance” threshold?

• You wish to shortly get out of opening grid/martingale on market pull-back / trending?

In a method or one other, everybody would admit it: Grid and martingale are the MOST PROFITABLE techniques … till it BLOW your account. Have you ever ever needed to excruciatingly undergo dozen of grid techniques, backtest them, put them on stay account, see they works for just a few weeks or months (dreaming about quitting your day job and purchase costly vehicles) after which BOOM, your account is gone to mud, collectively along with your hard-earn financial savings. Throughout my +10 years of buying and selling foreign exchange, having blowned numerous of accounts as a result of martingale or grid-like methods, I do know the frustration.

The primary points, and I means systematic points, with most of grid/martingale methods EA available on the market are:

1. Not appropriate for small account dimension: They haven’t any Drawdown rescue mechanism and solely have some fundamental protecting measures just like the level-to-start-averaging, which simply decelerate the Drawdown and mildly scale back the blow chance. These EA would require a really giant deposit like $3000~$5000 to begin. Finally, they are going to nonetheless BLOW, dropping you $3000~$5000.

2. Rescue gained’t cease drawdown proceed: Some grid EAs have Drawdown rescue built-in. Nonetheless the rescue mechanism may be very “linear” and inflexible: it can pair up and shut solely the highest (largest) and backside (smallest) orders in revenue. This strategy appears engaged on paper, however in actuality it gained’t. As market begin trending deeper in opposition to you, larger lotsize order must opened to proceed rescue the smallest backside order (which truly not influence your drawdown a lot!), and whereas an enormous chunk of orders in the midst of the grid (the account-killer ones) nonetheless opened, thus Drawdown proceed to develop after which BLOW your account finally. The diagram beneath illustrate this whack-a-mole downside:

3. Threat of margin-call / account blow remains to be vital: Regardless of the above measures, with all grid/martingale techniques, there are a sure point-of-no-return (relying in your account’s capital and margin stage), whenever you solely have TWO decisions:

1. All-in: hopefully the following order EA opened might be sufficient to shut out all the entire grid in revenue (and dropping sleep throughout the entire course of), or 
2. Hearth-sales to protect fairness: Painfully shut out all / a part of the grid to launch deposit load, swallowing large losses.

each of the above approaches are very deterimental to your capital in addition to your buying and selling psychology and mentality.

4. EA authors merely don’t care: Sadly, the above issues are persist as a result of most grid/martingale EA authors are both persuade you onerous sufficient that their Drawdown rescue characteristic is protected sufficient to have you ever worthwhile utilizing their EA, or they’re busying publish subsequent “promising” new bots to proceed milk out $$$ from the exsiting & new consumers, leaving us with the present incomplete EA that may BLOW your account any minute.

————————————

With this painful expertise, and have been fed-up with requesting the opposite grid EA authors to vary / enhance their program, I’ve coded this BlueSwift myself that’s specifically designed to:

• Work with any current grid/martingale EA: no extra nagging your EA authors into including Drawdown rescue characteristic to their EA, simply use my EA to handle their orders (*)

• 2-Node / 3-Node rescue: EA will neatly choose three orders from present grid and shut them at a revenue that you just specify, not simply High and Backside orders. This not solely cease the Drawdown to spiral bigger when market proceed to pattern in opposition to you, but additionally get you out of the grid nightmare quicker earlier than it passes the point-of-no-return.

• Versatile fundamental and superior rescue schemes: you’ll be able to select from both 4 predefined rescue schemes with the BASIC RESCUE MODE which were back-tested with most of Fx pairs and Gold (XAUUSD) along with your level-to-start-rescue (optimum is 4th or fifth) or you’ll be able to specify rescue Modes (2Node | 3Node) and ProfitToClose at every iteration (utilizing iteration-base scheme). Because of this you’re completely in management and may change between 2-Node and 3-Node rescue mode as you want. If BASIC RESCUE MODE aren’t ample, you’ll be able to leverage the ADVANCED RESCUE MODES, every was added for a really particular buying and selling fashion / situations:

 1. PANIC CLOSE: needs to be used when market begin robust trending in opposition to your grid’s course or when DD begin inching additional away out of your most popular stage 

 2. TIME CRITICAL CLOSE: needs to be used when your monitoring specialists have a really time-sensitive entry/exit set off equivalent to mid-night scalper, breakout, Information scalper
