Check out the new article: Automating Trading Strategies in MQL5 (Part 17): Mastering the Grid-Mart Scalping Strategy with a Dynamic Dashboard.
In this article, we explore the Grid-Mart Scalping Strategy, automating it in MQL5 with a dynamic dashboard for real-time trading insights. We detail its grid-based Martingale logic and risk management features. We also guide backtesting and deployment for robust performance.
The Grid-Mart Scalping Strategy employs a grid-based Martingale approach, placing buy or sell orders at fixed price intervals (e.g., 2.0 pips) to capture small profits from market fluctuations, while increasing lot sizes after losses to recover capital quickly. It relies on high-frequency trading, targeting modest gains (e.g., 4 pips) per trade. However, it requires careful risk management due to the exponential lot size growth, which is capped by configurable limits like maximum grid levels and daily drawdown thresholds. This strategy thrives in volatile markets but demands precise configuration to avoid significant drawdowns during prolonged trends.
Our implementation plan involves creating an MQL5 Expert Advisor to automate the Grid-Mart strategy by calculating grid intervals, managing lot size progression, and executing trades with predefined stop-loss and take-profit levels. The program will feature a dynamic dashboard to display real-time metrics, such as spread, active lot sizes, and account status, with color-coded visuals to aid decision-making. Robust risk controls, including drawdown limits and grid size restrictions, will ensure consistent performance across market conditions. In a nutshell, this is what we aim to create.
