Grid Handbook is a buying and selling supervisor designed to work with a grid of orders. Can work concurrently with 20 order grids, and every grid can have particular person settings. The appliance creates a grid of orders mechanically for every master-order.
Grasp-order is an order opened utilizing the buttons on the panel, or an order opened by one other skilled (supplied that Magic quantity=0). A grid of orders is connected to this order. The order grid exists so long as the master-order exists; when the master-order is closed, the order grid will likely be closed mechanically.
Settings
To begin working with the appliance, go to the Settings tab and set the order grid parameters. These settings are utilized when creating a brand new order grid. Sooner or later, an already open mesh can solely be edited from the MG tab. This fashion you may set particular person parameters for every of the 20 grids.
Grid parameter settings.
Grid kind
Order grid kind.
Restrict — the grid is constructed from BuyLimit or SellLimit orders, and is directed in direction of the lack of the primary order. This kind is utilized in methods with averaging losses.
Cease — the grid is constructed from BuyStop or SellStop orders, and is directed in direction of the revenue of the primary order. This kind is utilized in methods that enhance earnings.
Step kind
Methodology for calculating the order grid step.
- Step measurement (Fastened methodology).
- Multiplier for growing steps (Fastened methodology).
- Timeframe for the ATR indicator (ATR methodology).
- Interval for the ATR indicator (ATR methodology).
- Multiplier for step (ATR methodology).
- Minimal step (ATR methodology).
Step kind: ATR – the step measurement is dynamic and is dependent upon the studying of the ATR indicator: Step=ATR*Coefficient. The step is recalculated and the grid is rebuilt as every grid degree is triggered. To regulate the minimal step measurement, the Min. step (5) parameter is supplied. If the calculated step is lower than the Min. step worth, then the utility will take the Min. step worth as a step.
Step kind: Fastened — the step measurement is mounted. Step one is the same as the Grid step parameter (1), subsequent steps: Step=Earlier step*Step mult. (2).
Num. step
The variety of steps within the order grid.
Take revenue and cease loss settings for the order grid. Trailing cease and Breakeven operate settings.
TP kind и Take revenue
Settings for Take Revenue of the order grid.
TP kind for Restrict grid:
Off — Take revenue of every grid order is about to the Take revenue (1) distance from the Grasp-order. As soon as the take revenue is about, the appliance doesn’t management its location, and the consumer can transfer the take revenue of every order to any value.
Aggressive — The take revenue of every grid order is about to the Take revenue (1) distance from the general breakeven degree of open grid positions. The take revenue location of every grid order is managed by the appliance, and the consumer can not transfer the take revenue orders.
Conservative — The take revenue of every grid order is about at a calculated distance from the general break-even degree of open grid positions. The space is calculated in such a method that when the grid of orders is closed by take revenue, the dimensions of the overall revenue of the positions is the same as the revenue that the grasp place would have. The take revenue location of every grid order is managed by the appliance, and the consumer can not transfer the take revenue of orders.
TP kind for Cease grid:
For the Cease grid, Take Revenue is about to the Take revenue (1) distance from the final degree in direction of revenue.
Auto — The placement of the take revenue of every grid order is managed by the appliance. If the place of the acute grid degree modifications, the appliance will mechanically transfer the take earnings of orders to the Take revenue distance. The consumer can not transfer the take revenue of orders.
Off — As soon as the take revenue is about, the appliance doesn’t management its location, and the consumer can transfer the take revenue of every order to any value.
Cease loss
Cease lack of all grid orders is about on the similar degree:
- For Purchase grid — cease loss is about from the final decrease degree of the grid, at a distance of Cease loss (1).
- For Promote grid — cease loss is about from the final higher degree of the grid, at a distance of Cease loss (1).
Breakeven operate
The Breakeven operate is designed to mechanically transfer the cease lack of grid positions to the grid breakeven degree.
The appliance will transfer the cease lack of positions to the grid breakeven degree when the present value reaches the BreakEven Distance (1) distance, delayed from the grid breakeven degree. To offset the cease lack of positions from the breakeven of the grid, set the offset within the BreakEven Revenue (2) parameter.
Trailing cease operate
The trailing cease operate strikes the cease lack of grid positions following the present value, with a Trailing Cease (2) distance.
The trailing cease operate will start to work when the present value reaches the Trailing Begin (1)
To cut back the variety of order modifications, you may enhance the trailing cease step (3). For instance, in the event you set the step to 10, the operate will transfer cease losses in steps of 10 factors, thus decreasing the variety of modifications by 10 occasions.
Lot settings of the order grid.
Grasp lot
To calculate the lot of an order opened utilizing the buttons on the TR tab, you may set one of many following choices:
Fastened – orders opened utilizing the buttons may have the lot specified within the Lot enter area (1).
Auto – orders opened utilizing buttons may have loads calculated by the appliance. The lot is calculated utilizing the next method: Lot = Present Stability/worth within the area (1) * 0.01.
For instance:
Lot calculation methodology – Auto,
Account stability – $50,000,
Worth within the area (1) – $10,000,
Lot = 50123/10000*0 .01=0.05.
Grid lot
Lot begin — lot for the primary order of the grid (0-off).
Calc. kind — methodology for calculating the order grid lot:
Geometric — order lot = earlier lot × Lot step.
Arithmetic — order lot = earlier lot + Lot step.
Begin step – variety of the order grid step from which the lot will start to extend (0-off).
Max lot – most grid lot (0-off).
