Strategy Behind Catarina Devon EA V2.6

At its core, Catarina Devon EA V2.6 employs a grid trading strategy that places buy and sell orders at set intervals when the market moves against an initial position. Unlike classic grid approaches that simply double down (martingale), this EA uses:

  1. Volatility-Based Grid Spacing: It calculates the Average True Range (ATR) on a chosen timeframe (default M15) and spaces grid levels dynamically to avoid over-crowding in low-vol markets.
  2. Adaptive Lot Sizing: Lots are scaled to account for both account balance and recent draw-down, ensuring no single grid cascade can wipe out weeks of gains.
  3. Profit-Centered Exit Logic: Rather than waiting for an exact grid closure, the EA monitors the weighted average price of open orders and closes the entire grid block once a configurable profit threshold is hit.
  4. Risk Filters: High-impact news, major market opens, and weekend gaps are all filtered out. The EA automatically suspends trading 15 minutes before and after major events like NFP or ECB announcements.

This carefully balanced blend of grid mechanics and risk management means you capture small, consistent profits while avoiding the runaway losses that plague many automated grid systems.
