Tab: Grid Distance

Distance between grid orders — fixed, progressive, variable, zone fill, or ATR-based

Grid Distance Mode

Default: FIXED

Controls how the distance between grid orders is determined:

  • FIXED — Same distance between every consecutive grid order (uses Grid Distance pips from Orders tab).
  • PROGRESSIVE — Each distance is the previous one multiplied by the Grid Distance Multiplier (widening grid).
  • VARIABLE — Each gap between positions is individually configured (Dist 1 through Dist 20).
  • ZONE FILL — Orders are distributed uniformly across the full price range of the signal (price_low to price_high). The step is calculated automatically as range ÷ (N orders − 1), so the first order always lands at one end of the zone and the last at the opposite end. Requires the signal to contain a price range; falls back to FIXED mode if the signal has only a single entry price.
💡 Example: Signal zone 4550–4570 with 5 orders (BUY): step = 20 pips ÷ 4 = 5 pips → orders placed at 4570, 4565, 4560, 4555, 4550. The entire zone is covered regardless of its size.

Grid Distance Multiplier

Default: 1.3

Only used in PROGRESSIVE mode. Each distance = previous distance × this multiplier. Creates an expanding grid that gives more room between deeper positions.

💡 Example: Base distance = 20 pips, Multiplier = 1.3: gaps are 20, 26, 33.8, 43.9, 57.1... Each level is 30% wider than the previous, reducing over-crowding in volatile moves.

Variable Distances (Dist 1 – Dist 20)

Custom distance in pips for each individual grid level when Grid Distance Mode = VARIABLE. Dist 1 is the gap between order 1 and order 2, Dist 2 is the gap between order 2 and order 3, etc.

💡 Example: Dist1=10, Dist2=10, Dist3=20, Dist4=30, Dist5=50 — tight initial spacing that widens significantly for deeper drawdown levels.

Use ATR Grid ⭐ New

Default: false

Enables dynamic grid distance calculation based on the Average True Range (ATR) indicator. Instead of fixed pip distances, the grid automatically adapts to current market volatility — wider distances in volatile markets, narrower distances in calm markets.

This prevents the common grid problem where fixed distances cause too-dense or too-sparse grids depending on market conditions.

💡 Example: XAUUSD during a London session: ATR(14) on H1 = 250 pips × 0.1 multiplier = 25 pip grid distance. During Asian quiet session: ATR = 80 pips × 0.1 = 8 pip grid distance. The grid adapts automatically.
⚠️ Note: When Use ATR Grid is enabled, the fixed/progressive/variable distance settings are overridden. ATR Period, ATR Timeframe, and ATR Multiplier take control.

ATR Period ⭐ New

Default: 14

Number of candles used to calculate the ATR value. A higher period produces smoother, more stable distances. A lower period reacts faster to recent volatility changes.

💡 Recommendation: Period 14 is the standard. Use 7 for more reactive distances, 21 for more stable ones.

ATR Timeframe ⭐ New

Default: PERIOD_H1

The chart timeframe used to calculate ATR. The ATR on higher timeframes gives larger, more stable distances. Lower timeframes give tighter, more reactive distances.

💡 Guide: H1 is ideal for intraday grids. H4 for swing trading grids. M15 for scalping grids.

ATR Multiplier ⭐ New

Default: 0.1

Scales the raw ATR value to produce the final grid distance in pips. Grid Distance = ATR(period) × multiplier.

💡 Example: ATR(14) on H1 for XAUUSD = 200 pips. Multiplier = 0.1 → grid distance = 20 pips. Multiplier = 0.15 → 30 pips. Adjust to match your preferred grid spacing relative to current volatility.
