Grid entry

[Ernest Akoyi]

Hello everyone below is my grid code though it's not functioning as per my logic. The grid orders should only be triggered once the original buy and sell conditions have been met within the specified grid distance. What my code does it only triggers grid orders at the specified grid distance without waiting for the entry conditions to be made. Kindly help.

void Grid()
  {
     //buy grid
     if(use_marti == true)
       {
           
            if(data.buys > 0)
               {
                  if(Ask <= data.buy_open_price - marti_Distance * Point())
                     {
                        double lots = data.buy_lots;
                        if(use_marti && multiplier > 0)lots = lots * multiplier;
                        
                        BUY(lots);
                        
                        data = GetData(data);
                        ModifyTP();
                     }
               }
               
            if(data.sells > 0)
               {
                 
                  if(Bid >= data.sell_open_price + marti_Distance * Point())
                     {
                        double lots = data.sell_lots;
                        if(use_marti && multiplier > 0)lots = lots * multiplier;
                        
                        SELL(lots);
                        
                        data = GetData(data);
                        ModifyTP();
                     }
               }
               
       }         
  }

what is data.buys? Is that your condition for Buy ?  This grid is more is more like a recovery for a losing trade I suppose… I mean your are buying in a down market

Martingale is not a strategy. It's a betting system.

Hedging, grid trading, same as Martingale.

Martingale, guaranteed to blow your account eventually. If your strategy is not profitable without, it is definitely not profitable with.
