Gold Trend Grid
Overview
Gold Trend Grid is a multi-strategy ensemble for XAUUSD M15. Five independent sub-strategies each cast a vote; a new position opens only when at least MinVotes of them agree on direction, which filters out weak and contradictory signals.
Once in a trend, it adds pyramid grid layers at favorable price steps (anti-martingale 0.8 lot scaling, max 4 levels) and closes the whole basket at a target equity percentage. A per-position stop and a basket stop cap the worst case.

How it trades
- Five sub-strategies (EMA trend, ATR momentum burst, N-bar breakout, RSI pullback-in-trend, ADX/DI) each vote BUY / SELL / neutral on each new M15 bar.
- A trade opens only when MinVotes (default 3) agree; London and New York sessions gate entries to high-liquidity hours.
- In a trend it adds pyramid grid layers at favorable steps (0.8 anti-martingale sizing, max 4 levels) and trails a basket take-profit as % of equity.
- Per-position stop per trade plus a basket stop; sealed core, PropGuard-ready, one license activates on 2 terminals.
