Question 1

Why is the minimum deposit $2,000?

Accepted Answer

Grid trading requires sufficient margin to hold multiple positions simultaneously. With 8 grid levels and increasing lots, $2,000 provides adequate buffer for standard lot sizes.

Question 2

Is this EA safe during high-impact news?

Accepted Answer

Grid trading carries inherent risk during extreme volatility. We recommend pausing the EA before major events like NFP or central bank decisions, or using the built-in news filter if your broker provides it.

Question 3

What is the typical drawdown before profit?

Accepted Answer

Grids typically experience 10–20% floating drawdown before closing in profit. The equity shield (default 25% max loss) prevents catastrophic scenarios.

Question 4

Can I change the lot multiplier?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The default 1.3x is balanced for risk/reward. Lower values (1.1–1.2) are safer but recover slower. Higher values (1.5+) are aggressive and need larger accounts.
