1. INTRODUCTION

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

1.1 WHAT IS GRID MASTERS TEMPORAL EA?

──────────────────────────────────────

Grid Masters Temporal EA is an expert automated buying and selling system that mixes:

• TIME-BASED TRADING: Deploys grids at particular server occasions (temporal triggers)

• GRID STRATEGY: Locations a number of pending orders above and beneath present worth

• DIRECTIONAL FILTERING: Makes use of SMA to commerce solely in development route

• INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT: Twin trim engines and superior danger controls

Not like conventional grid EAs that run 24/7, this EA prompts solely at your chosen occasions,

permitting you to focus on particular market periods and keep away from unfavorable buying and selling intervals.

1.2 HOW DOES IT WORK?

─────────────────────

STEP 1: WAIT FOR TRIGGER TIME

The EA screens server time and waits for certainly one of your configured time slots

(e.g., 05:00, 10:00, 15:00).

STEP 2: CHECK SMA FILTER

When set off time arrives, EA checks if worth is above or beneath the SMA:

• Worth > SMA → Place BUY grid solely

• Worth < SMA → Place SELL grid solely

• Filter disabled → Place each BUY and SELL grids

STEP 3: DEPLOY GRID

EA locations pending orders (Purchase Cease above worth, Promote Cease beneath worth) at 

configured spacing intervals.

STEP 4: MANAGE POSITIONS

As orders activate and turn out to be positions, EA applies:

• Break-even engine (defend earnings)

• Trailing stops (lock positive aspects)

• Partial closes (take earnings incrementally)

• Trim engines (cut back grid measurement when too giant)

STEP 5: APPLY RISK LOCKS

EA always screens:

• Fairness Lock: Shut all if open P&L reaches goal

• Revenue Lock: Defend realized earnings

• Drawdown Lock: Shut all if fairness drops from peak

• Place Age: Shut positions older than X days

STEP 6: RESET DAILY

Every new buying and selling day, the set off flags reset, permitting contemporary grid placement

at your configured occasions.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

3. CORE CONCEPTS

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

3.1 TEMPORAL TRADING EXPLAINED

───────────────────────────────

WHAT IS TEMPORAL TRADING?

As a substitute of working constantly 24/7, temporal buying and selling prompts solely at particular

occasions of day. This lets you:

• Goal high-liquidity periods (London open, NY open, Asian session)

• Keep away from low-liquidity intervals (late Friday, Sunday open)

• Skip information occasions by not buying and selling throughout these hours

• Cut back publicity by limiting every day buying and selling home windows

HOW IT WORKS IN THIS EA:

• You set 3 time slots (e.g., “05:00”, “10:00”, “15:00”)

• Every day, when server time matches a slot, the EA locations a grid

• As soon as triggered, that slot will not fireplace once more till subsequent day

• Grids stay lively till closed by place administration engines

EXAMPLE SCHEDULE:

Time Slot 1: “07:00” → Goal London open (excessive volatility)

Time Slot 2: “13:00” → Goal NY session begin

Time Slot 3: “21:00” → Goal Asian session

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Occasions are in BROKER SERVER TIME (examine MT5 “Market Watch” time)

• Most brokers use GMT+2 or GMT+3 (will depend on DST)

• To seek out your dealer’s timezone:

  – Test dealer web site

  – Evaluate MT5 time to your native time

  – Use a web based dealer time converter

3.2 GRID TRADING FUNDAMENTALS

──────────────────────────────

WHAT IS GRID TRADING?

Grid buying and selling locations a number of pending orders at mounted intervals above and beneath

the present worth, making a “grid” sample.

GRID STRUCTURE:

Worth is at the moment at 1.1000

SELL GRID (beneath worth):

1.0950 ← Promote Cease (50 factors beneath)

1.0900 ← Promote Cease (100 factors beneath)

1.0850 ← Promote Cease (150 factors beneath)

── 1.1000 ← Present Worth ──

BUY GRID (above worth):

1.1050 ← Purchase Cease (50 factors above)

1.1100 ← Purchase Cease (100 factors above)

1.1150 ← Purchase Cease (150 factors above)

ACTIVATION:

• If worth rises to 1.1050, the primary Purchase Cease prompts (turns into a BUY place)

• If worth falls to 1.0950, the primary Promote Cease prompts (turns into a SELL place)

• Worth can activate a number of ranges, creating a number of positions

PROFIT MECHANISM:

Grid earnings come from:

1. MEAN REVERSION: Worth returns to unique degree, closing worthwhile positions

2. TREND CAPTURE: A number of positions in development route accumulate revenue

3. PARTIAL CLOSES: Taking earnings incrementally as grid fills

RISK:

• Drawdown happens when worth strikes strongly in a single route

• Many positions can open on one facet (all in drawdown)

• Requires sufficient margin to maintain drawdown intervals

3.3 SMA DIRECTIONAL FILTER

───────────────────────────

WHAT IS SMA FILTER?

Easy Shifting Common (SMA) acts as a development route indicator:

• Worth > SMA = Uptrend → Solely place BUY grid

• Worth < SMA = Downtrend → Solely place SELL grid

WHY USE IT?

Conventional grids place orders each instructions, which suggests:

• Buying and selling in opposition to the development (counter-trend SELL orders in uptrend)

• Greater danger of drawdown

• Decrease win charge

With SMA filter:

• You commerce WITH the development

• Decreased counter-trend publicity

• Higher alignment with market momentum

EXAMPLE:

EUR/USD at 1.1000, SMA(50) at 1.0950

Evaluation: Worth is ABOVE SMA = Uptrend

EA Motion: Locations solely BUY grid (1.1050, 1.1100, 1.1150…)

End result: Solely BUY positions can open, all aligned with development

OPTIONAL CROSS-CLOSE:

If enabled (“Shut on SMA Cross”), EA will:

• Monitor for candle shut beneath SMA (in uptrend)

• Shut all BUY positions instantly when cross confirmed

• Prevents holding counter-trend positions

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS:

• SMA Interval: 50 (balanced development detection)

• Quick traits: Use SMA 20-30

• Gradual traits: Use SMA 100-200

• Allow Cross-Shut: Sure (for strict development following)

3.4 TRIM ENGINES OVERVIEW

──────────────────────────

WHY TRIM?

Grid buying and selling can accumulate many positions. With out administration:

• Margin could be exhausted

• Drawdown turns into unmanageable

• Account danger escalates

SOLUTION: Trim engines mechanically cut back place depend when thresholds are hit.

LEGACY TRIM ENGINE:

• Rule-based system

• Triggers when place depend exceeds “Max Positions” (e.g., 40)

• Closes “Shut Depend” positions (e.g., 10) per cycle

• Can prioritize losers-first or winners-first

• Applies minimal revenue filter (solely shut worthwhile ones)

Instance:

• You’ve got 42 positions

• Legacy Trim Max = 40

• Shut Depend = 10

• Shut Losers First = Sure

→ EA closes the ten most dropping positions (if revenue > min filter)

AI TRIM ENGINE:

• Fairness-slope based mostly algorithm

• Triggers when place depend exceeds “AI Max Positions” (e.g., 45)

• Closes “AI Shut Depend” positions (e.g., 5) per cycle

• Prioritizes positions dragging fairness down

• Works alongside Legacy Trim for layered safety

Instance:

• You’ve got 47 positions

• AI Trim Max = 45

• AI Shut Depend = 5

→ EA analyzes fairness influence and closes 5 worst performers

RECOMMENDED USAGE:

Allow BOTH trims:

• Legacy Trim: First line of protection (triggers at 40 positions)

• AI Trim: Second line (triggers at 45 positions)

• Gives dual-layer safety

3.5 RISK MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY

───────────────────────────────

Grid buying and selling is inherently high-risk. This EA offers a number of security mechanisms:

LAYER 1: POSITION LIMITS

• Max BUY Positions: Laborious cap on lengthy facet

• Max SELL Positions: Laborious cap on quick facet

→ Prevents limitless place accumulation

LAYER 2: TRIM ENGINES

• Legacy + AI Trim: Cut back place depend earlier than catastrophic drawdown

→ Manages grid measurement dynamically

LAYER 3: BREAK-EVEN + TRAILING

• Break-Even: Protects particular person positions as soon as worthwhile

• Trailing Cease: Locks in positive aspects as worth strikes favorably

→ Converts open revenue to protected revenue

LAYER 4: PARTIAL CLOSE

• Basket Partial Shut: Takes revenue on whole grid proportionally

→ Reduces publicity whereas preserving positions alive

LAYER 5: LOCK SYSTEMS

• Fairness Lock: Emergency brake if open P&L hits goal

• Drawdown Lock: Stops losses if fairness drops from peak

• Revenue Lock: Protects realized account positive aspects

→ Account-level circuit breakers

LAYER 6: POSITION AGE

• Auto-Shut After X Days: Prevents stale positions

→ Forces place turnover

RECOMMENDED APPROACH:

1. Begin conservative (small heaps, tight locks)

2. Monitor drawdown patterns in backtest

3. Progressively improve danger solely after worthwhile ahead check

4. NEVER danger greater than 1-2% per grid degree

5. At all times use stop-loss on account degree (dealer SL or fairness lock)

4.1 TEMPORAL SETTINGS (SERVER TIME)

────────────────────────────────────

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ Time Slot 1: “05:00” │

│ Time Slot 2: “10:00” │

│ Time Slot 3: “15:00” │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

DESCRIPTION:

Three every day time slots when the EA will place grids.

FORMAT: “HH:MM” (24-hour format)

• “05:00” = 5:00 AM server time

• “13:30” = 1:30 PM server time

• “21:00” = 9:00 PM server time

IMPORTANT:

• Makes use of BROKER SERVER TIME (examine MT5 Market Watch)

• As soon as a slot triggers, it will not set off once more till subsequent day

• All three slots are unbiased (you should use 1, 2, or all 3)

EXAMPLE CONFIGURATIONS:

LONDON SESSION FOCUS:

Slot 1: “07:00” (London open)

Slot 2: “09:00” (London mid-session)

Slot 3: “12:00” (London shut)

NEW YORK SESSION FOCUS:

Slot 1: “13:00” (NY open)

Slot 2: “15:00” (NY mid-session)

Slot 3: “20:00” (NY shut)

ASIAN SESSION FOCUS:

Slot 1: “21:00” (Tokyo open)

Slot 2: “01:00” (Asian mid-session)

Slot 3: “05:00” (Asian shut)

24-HOUR COVERAGE:

Slot 1: “00:00” (Each day reset)

Slot 2: “08:00” (London)

Slot 3: “14:00” (NY)

TIP: Go away slots at completely different occasions (minimal 1 hour aside) to keep away from conflicts.

│ Purchase Ranges: 10 │

│ Promote Ranges: 10 │

│ Grid Spacing (factors): 50 │

│ Cease Loss (factors): 0 │

│ Take Revenue (factors): 0 │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

BUY LEVELS:

Variety of Purchase Cease orders to put above present worth.

• Default: 10

• Vary: 1-50

• Greater = Extra protection, extra positions, extra margin wanted

SELL LEVELS:

Variety of Promote Cease orders to put beneath present worth.

• Default: 10

• Vary: 1-50

• Greater = Extra protection, extra positions, extra margin wanted

GRID SPACING (POINTS):

Distance between every grid degree.

• Default: 50 factors (5 pips on 5-digit dealer)

• Vary: 10-500

• Smaller spacing = Tighter grid, extra positions activate

• Bigger spacing = Wider grid, fewer activations, extra stability

EXAMPLES:

30 factors = Very tight (scalping fashion, excessive frequency)

50 factors = Average (balanced, good for majors)

100 factors = Huge (conservative, much less frequent activations)

STOP LOSS (POINTS):

Particular person SL for every place.

• Default: 0 (disabled, managed by locks as an alternative)

• Vary: 0-1000

• 0 = No SL (depend on fairness lock for defense)

• >0 = Fastened SL per place (reduces max drawdown)

TAKE PROFIT (POINTS):

Particular person TP for every place.

• Default: 0 (disabled, managed by partial shut as an alternative)

• Vary: 0-1000

• 0 = No TP (grid stays open, managed by engines)

• >0 = Fastened TP per place (auto-close at revenue goal)

RECOMMENDED:

• Go away SL and TP at 0

• Use Fairness Lock for general SL

• Use Partial Shut for TP administration

• This offers EA full management through clever engines

4.3 POSITION LIMITS

───────────────────

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ Max BUY Positions: 0 │

│ Max SELL Positions: 0 │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

MAX BUY POSITIONS:

Laborious restrict on complete BUY positions allowed.

• Default: 0 (limitless)

• Vary: 0-100

• When restrict reached, EA skips putting BUY grid

• Prevents over-exposure to lengthy facet

MAX SELL POSITIONS:

Laborious restrict on complete SELL positions allowed.

• Default: 0 (limitless)

• Vary: 0-100

• When restrict reached, EA skips putting SELL grid

• Prevents over-exposure to quick facet

EXAMPLE USAGE:

SMALL ACCOUNT ($500):

Max BUY: 10

Max SELL: 10

→ Most 20 complete positions

MEDIUM ACCOUNT ($2,000):

Max BUY: 20

Max SELL: 20

→ Most 40 complete positions

LARGE ACCOUNT ($10,000+):

Max BUY: 0 (limitless)

Max SELL: 0 (limitless)

→ Depend on Trim Engines as an alternative

TIP: Use place limits on accounts below $1,000 for strict danger management.

4.4 LEGACY TRIM ENGINE

──────────────────────

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ Allow Legacy Trim: Sure │

│ Max Positions Earlier than Trimming: 40 │

│ Positions to Shut Per Trim: 10 │

│ Minimal Revenue Filter: 0.0 │

│ Shut Losers First: Sure │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

ENABLE LEGACY TRIM:

Grasp on/off change.

• Sure = Energetic

• No = Disabled (harmful on small accounts)

MAX POSITIONS BEFORE TRIMMING:

Set off threshold.

• Default: 40

• When complete positions >= 40, trim prompts

• Decrease = Extra aggressive trimming

• Greater = Extra lenient

POSITIONS TO CLOSE PER TRIM:

What number of to shut every cycle.

• Default: 10

• Vary: 1-50

• Greater = Sooner discount (can shut if aggressive)

• Decrease = Gradual discount

MINIMUM PROFIT FILTER:

Solely shut positions with revenue > this worth.

• Default: 0.0 (shut any place, even losers)

• Vary: -100.0 to +100.0 (USD)

• Optimistic worth = Solely shut worthwhile ones

• 0 = Shut no matter P&L

CLOSE LOSERS FIRST:

Prioritization logic.

• Sure = Shut most dropping positions first

• No = Shut most worthwhile positions first

RECOMMENDED:

• Sure = Reduces drawdown (do away with losers)

• No = Lock in positive aspects (safe winners)

TYPICAL SETUP:

Allow: Sure

Max Positions: 40

Shut Depend: 10

Min Revenue: 0.0

Losers First: Sure

→ When 40 positions reached, shut 10 worst losers

4.5 AI TRIM ENGINE

──────────────────

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ Allow AI Trim: Sure │

│ Set off Place Depend: 45 │

│ Shut Depend Per Cycle: 5 │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

ENABLE AI TRIM:

Grasp on/off change.

• Sure = Energetic (beneficial)

• No = Disabled

TRIGGER POSITION COUNT:

Threshold for AI activation.

• Default: 45

• Ought to be HIGHER than Legacy Trim (acts as backup)

• When complete positions >= 45, AI trim prompts

CLOSE COUNT PER CYCLE:

Positions closed per AI trim.

• Default: 5

• Vary: 1-20

• Normally smaller than Legacy Trim (fine-tuning)

HOW IT WORKS:

AI Trim makes use of fairness slope evaluation:

1. Calculates present fairness

2. Identifies positions dragging fairness down

3. Closes worst equity-impact positions

4. Prioritizes losers creating slope drag

RECOMMENDED SETUP:

Allow: Sure

Set off Depend: 45 (5 increased than Legacy)

Shut Depend: 5 (half of Legacy)

→ Acts as secondary protection after Legacy Trim

4.6 SINGLE POSITION TRAILING (INDEPENDENT)

───────────────────────────────────────────

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ Allow Per-Place Trailing: No │

│ Begin Set off (factors): 400 │

│ Trailing Step (factors): 200 │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

ENABLE PER-POSITION TRAILING:

Grasp on/off change.

• Sure = Every place trails independently

• No = Disabled (use basket administration as an alternative)

START TRIGGER (POINTS):

Revenue threshold to start trailing.

• Default: 400 factors (40 pips)

• Place should be in revenue by this quantity earlier than trailing begins

• Prevents untimely SL changes in ranging markets

TRAILING STEP (POINTS):

Distance to path behind present worth.

• Default: 200 factors (20 pips)

• SL follows worth at this distance

• Smaller = Tighter trailing (extra safety, extra more likely to hit)

• Bigger = Looser trailing (extra respiration room)

EXAMPLE:

BUY place at 1.1000

Worth rises to 1.1040 (400 factors revenue)

→ Trailing prompts

→ SL set to 1.1040 – 0.0020 = 1.1020

Worth rises to 1.1060

→ SL strikes to 1.1060 – 0.0020 = 1.1040

→ Locked in 40 pips revenue

RECOMMENDED:

• Disable for grid buying and selling (use basket partial shut as an alternative)

• Allow solely if you would like particular person place safety

• Use huge settings (400/200) to keep away from untimely stops

4.7 BREAK-EVEN ENGINE

─────────────────────

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ Allow Break-Even: Sure │

│ Set off (factors in revenue): 200 │

│ Offset (factors past entry): 10 │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

ENABLE BREAK-EVEN:

Grasp on/off change.

• Sure = Energetic (extremely beneficial)

• No = Disabled

TRIGGER (POINTS IN PROFIT):

Revenue threshold to activate break-even.

• Default: 200 factors (20 pips)

• When place earnings attain this degree, SL strikes to break-even

• Decrease = Extra aggressive safety

• Greater = Extra respiration room earlier than locking

OFFSET (POINTS BEYOND ENTRY):

Security buffer past entry worth.

• Default: 10 factors (1 pip)

• SL is ready to entry worth + offset

• Protects in opposition to unfold/slippage hitting precise entry

• Small buffer ensures you seize some revenue

EXAMPLE:

BUY place at 1.1000 (entry)

Present worth: 1.1020 (200 factors revenue)

→ Break-even triggers

→ SL set to 1.1000 + 0.0010 = 1.1010

If worth reverses:

→ Place closes at 1.1010

→ Small revenue locked (10 factors)

RECOMMENDED SETUP:

Allow: Sure

Set off: 200 factors (alter based mostly on pair volatility)

Offset: 10 factors (protected buffer)

→ Protects earnings with out being too tight

4.8 SMA DIRECTION FILTER

─────────────────────────

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ Allow SMA Filter: Sure │

│ SMA Interval: 50 │

│ Shut on SMA Cross: No │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

ENABLE SMA FILTER:

Grasp on/off change.

• Sure = Solely commerce in SMA route

• No = Commerce each instructions (conventional grid)

SMA PERIOD:

Variety of bars for SMA calculation.

• Default: 50

• Vary: 10-200

• Decrease (20-30) = Quick, conscious of current worth

• Medium (50-100) = Balanced development detection

• Greater (100-200) = Gradual, main development solely

CLOSE ON SMA CROSS:

Drive-close positions on SMA crossback.

• No = Let positions run (default)

• Sure = Shut all when candle closes reverse SMA

EXAMPLE (Shut on Cross = Sure):

BUY positions open (worth was above SMA)

Worth falls beneath SMA

→ Look ahead to candle shut beneath SMA

→ If confirmed, shut all BUY positions instantly

RECOMMENDED SETUPS:

STRICT TREND FOLLOWING:

Allow: Sure

Interval: 50

Shut on Cross: Sure

→ Very disciplined, exits on development change

RELAXED TREND FILTER:

Allow: Sure

Interval: 100

Shut on Cross: No

→ Filters entry route, lets positions handle themselves

NO FILTER (TRADITIONAL GRID):

Allow: No

→ Locations each BUY and SELL grids no matter development

4.9 PARTIAL CLOSE ENGINE

─────────────────────────

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ Allow Partial Shut: No │

│ Shut P.c: 50.0 │

│ Minimal Revenue (factors): 300 │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

ENABLE PARTIAL CLOSE:

Grasp on/off change.

• Sure = Basket partial shut lively

• No = Disabled

CLOSE PERCENT:

Proportion of every place to shut.

• Default: 50.0 (shut half)

• Vary: 10.0 – 90.0

• 50.0 = Shut 50% of quantity, hold 50% working

MINIMUM PROFIT (POINTS):

Basket common revenue threshold.

• Default: 300 factors

• EA calculates common revenue throughout ALL positions

• If common >= 300 factors, partial shut triggers

• Executes ONCE per place (tracked through remark)

HOW IT WORKS:

1. EA sums revenue of all positions in factors

2. Calculates common: Complete Revenue Pts / Place Depend
