Maya Gold Grid ATR – Parameters Overview

Presets

The cBot includes four optimized presets: Low Risk, Balanced, and High Risk.
Each preset is based on extensive backtesting and provides a ready-to-use configuration for different account conditions and risk profiles.
For advanced users, the Custom mode allows full manual configuration of all parameters.

• Lower-risk presets: safer equity curve, slower growth.
• Higher-risk presets: faster growth, deeper drawdowns.

All parameters below are applied only for Preset = ‘Custom’

Session

Controls the trading window and daily execution.

• Use Trading Window – enable or disable restricted trading hours.
• Start Trading Hour (UTC) – earlier start increases trading activity, later start reduces it.
• End Trading Hour (UTC) – earlier close reduces exposure, later close allows more opportunities.
• Close End of Day (EOD) – automatically closes all trades daily at the specified time.
• Close EOD Hour (UTC) – earlier cut-off increases safety, later cut-off keeps trades active longer.

Grid Core

Defines how the trading grid adapts to volatility.

• ATR Period – shorter period increases sensitivity (more frequent adjustments), longer period smooths volatility response.
• ATR Multiplier → Step – lower values tighten grid spacing (more trades, higher risk), higher values widen spacing (fewer trades, safer).
• TP per Level (pips) – smaller target provides quicker but smaller exits, larger target requires more patience but yields higher profit per trade.
• SL per Level (pips) – smaller stop losses reduce drawdowns but increase premature exits, larger stops allow more tolerance but increase risk.
• Levels per Side – fewer levels reduce exposure, more levels increase scaling and potential risk.
• Rebuild Missing Orders – when enabled, the bot automatically restores missing grid levels.

Volume

Controls position sizing and scaling.

• Base Volume (lots) – initial lot size; smaller value reduces risk, larger value increases exposure.
• Max Total Volume (lots) – caps maximum exposure; lower values keep risk limited, higher values allow larger grids.
• Volume Multiplier per Level – geometric growth of lots; smaller values scale slower, larger values increase risk and reward faster.

Seeding

Defines how the first trade is placed.

• Ensure ≥1 entry/day – guarantees at least one trade daily.
• Seed at Start Hour if flat – places an initial order at session start if no positions are open.
• Seed Direction (Buy/Sell/Auto) – manual fixed direction or automatic detection based on short-term trend.

Basket

Groups trades into a managed basket with profit/loss targets.

• Basket TP (money) – closes basket at defined profit in account currency; smaller values exit faster, larger values hold longer.
• Basket TP (pips vs avg) – closes basket once the distance to VWAP exceeds defined pips.
• Basket Cut (money) – forces basket closure at defined loss; lower values protect faster, higher values allow more tolerance.

Risk Management

Built-in safety controls to protect capital.

• Enable Losing Position Lifetime – closes losing trades after defined time in market.
• Losing Position Lifetime (min) – shorter values cut trades quickly, longer values allow more holding.
• Max Trades/Day – caps daily trade count.
• Daily Loss Stop (%) – stops trading for the day once balance loss exceeds threshold.
• Max Floating Drawdown Stop (%) – closes all trades if floating drawdown exceeds set percentage.
• Min Free Margin After Order (%) – ensures free margin buffer before new trades; higher values are safer.
• Equity Drawdown Stop (%) – hard stop based on equity decline from starting value.

General

• Label – trade label used for tracking and basket grouping.
