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.
• Grid Side – controls on which side of the anchor price the grid places orders:
  Both – classic grid (buy limits below anchor, sell limits above),
  BuyOnly – only buy limits below anchor,
  SellOnly – only sell limits above anchor.

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 market trade is placed.

• Auto Seed When Flat – If the bot has no open positions or pending orders, place one market seed trade in the SeedDirection before rebuilding the grid (respecting MaxTradesPerDay).
• Seed Only Inside Session – When UseSession is enabled, allow auto-seed only during the defined session hours (StartHour–EndHour). When UseSession is off, this setting has no effect.
• Seed Direction (Buy/Sell/Auto) – controls the direction of the initial seed trade when the bot starts a new grid from a flat state (no open positions). It affects only the seed entry, while the grid itself is controlled by Grid Side.
  BuyOnly – always open the seed as a buy.
  SellOnly – always open the seed as a sell (default).
  Auto – let the bot choose buy or sell automatically based on its internal logic and current market context.

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 Managment

Built-in safety controls to protect capital.

Max Trades Per Day — Limits how many trades the bot can initiate per day. Lower values reduce activity and exposure.

Daily Loss Limit (%) — Stops trading for the day if the account’s closed PnL (Balance) falls by more than X% from the day’s starting balance. When triggered, the bot closes all positions and cancels pending orders until the next day.

Max Drawdown (Start Equity) (%) — Hard stop based on account equity decline from the equity level recorded when the bot starts. If equity drops more than X%, the bot closes all positions, cancels pending orders, and stops until restarted.

Risk Managment Pro

Advanced safety controls (recommended for experienced users).

Floating Drawdown Limit (%) — Closes all positions and cancels pending orders if floating drawdown exceeds X%. (Floating drawdown is measured from Balance to Equity, i.e., open losses.)

Min Free Margin After Order (%) — Requires a free margin buffer before placing new orders. Higher values are safer but may reduce trading frequency / grid expansion.

Time Stop (Losing Positions) — Enables automatic closing of losing positions after a maximum holding time.

Max Holding Time (min) — Maximum time a losing position can remain open (in minutes). Smaller values cut trades faster; larger values allow more room for recovery.
