Introduction


Grid trading can be powerful… and dangerous if it’s unmanaged. Virtual Grid Mart Dual Sides EA V1.0 MT5 was built to keep the power while taming the chaos. It lets you run BUY and SELL grids in parallel, test behavior with Virtual Trade Technology (VTT) before exposing real capital, adapt spacing using ATR, and ring-fence risk with a built-in equity stop. If a hard stop loss ever hits, the EA can auto-redeploy with a simulated deposit—perfect for aggressive strategies that aim to rebuild quickly.


Whether you trade forex majors, indices, gold, oil, or crypto, this EA brings a complete grid framework that’s configurable, transparent, and prop-firm conscious (when you choose conservative profiles).

Key Features


Dual-Side Grid Strategy



  • Run BUY and SELL grids in parallel.

  • Separate configurations per direction (spacing, take-profit, lot rules, max positions).


Virtual Trade Technology (VTT)



  • Places virtual orders first to simulate fills and spacing.

  • Lets you observe behavior in live conditions before capital is committed.


Fixed or Adaptive Step Entries



  • Fixed pips for orderly steps or ATR-based dynamic spacing for volatility accommodation.

  • ATR adaptation helps reduce clustering during high-vol regimes.


Advanced Martingale System



  • Choose multiplier or addition mode.

  • Cap risk via maximum lot size (fixed) or proportional rule linked to balance/equity.


Full Account Protection



  • Equity stop with real-time monitoring.

  • Emergency flatten: auto-close all positions if loss threshold is hit (value or %).


Flexible Trading Hours



  • Define active hours per weekday to avoid news spikes or illiquid sessions.

  • Ideal for prop-firm schedules or personal risk windows.


Auto Redeploy After Hard SL



  • Optional restart with a simulated deposit after a hard SL event.

  • Useful for recovery playbooks or aggressive growth experiments (use carefully!).


Compatibility & Presets



  • Works across any asset, timeframe, and account type.

  • Optimized set files available—contact via MQL5 internal messages to request pairs/symbol profiles.


How the Logic Flows



  1. Initialize & Scan – EA detects symbol conditions (spread/volatility).

  2. Virtual Grid Map (VTT) – Simulates grid layering; evaluates projected exposure and TP logic without real orders.

  3. Go Live – Converts virtual steps into real orders when your criteria are met.

  4. Risk Controls – Equity stop, max lots, position caps, and schedule rules guard your account.

  5. Manage & Exit – Per-leg take-profits, optional partials, and full flatten on threshold.

  6. Hard SL Event – If triggered, optional auto-redeploy with a simulated balance to re-engage under your recovery template.

Best Practices & Risk Notes



  • Grid + Martingale is inherently risky. The EA adds multiple hard safeties, but equity drawdowns can be large in trends without pullbacks.

  • Prefer liquid symbols and tight spreads.

  • Use asymmetric grids (e.g., wider steps against the dominant trend).

  • Keep position caps realistic; a hard cap > hard stop.

  • Don’t run through high-impact news unless your profile is designed for it.

  • Demo → micro-live → scale: build confidence stepwise.
