Hedge-Account Grid Strategy with Doubling Positions

Summary

The strategy starts from a flat account by opening equal-sized long and short positions. When price moves by a preset step, it adds a position in the direction opposite that move, using twice the initial lot size. If price moves another step, the system closes all positions, realizing a gain or loss based on the path taken.

Its premise is that prices are more likely to reverse than continue trending, so the position additions are designed to benefit from a retracement. The document gives no performance data, rules for choosing the step size, or account-level risk limits. It specifies that the expert advisor operates on every tick and requires a hedging account; the doubling exposure and possibility of closing the cycle at a loss are important limitations.

Key ideas

• The system begins each cycle with simultaneous long and short positions.
• After a one-step move, it adds a position against the direction of that move at twice the initial size.
• A further one-step move triggers closure of all open positions.
• The approach assumes reversals are more likely than continued trends.
• The advisor requires a hedging account and provides no performance evidence or risk limits.
