📊 How It Works

1. Entry Conditions (Grid Activation)

Only trades between TimeStart & TimeEnd (default: 00:00–09:00 server time).

First trade is triggered by candle patterns:

BUY: After 3 consecutive bearish candles followed by 2 bullish candles.

SELL: After 3 consecutive bullish candles followed by 2 bearish candles.

2. Grid System (Martingale Logic)

If the first trade loses, the EA adds another trade in the same direction with:

Increased lot size (UpLot multiplier, e.g., 1.2x).

Same Step distance (e.g., 10 pips away from last entry).

Averages all positions and sets a unified TakeProfit at TakeProfit pips from the average price.

3. Exit Conditions

Profit-taking: Closes all trades when the combined TP is hit.

Stop Loss: If total losses exceed StopMinus% of the account, all trades are closed.

💰 Money & Risk Management

Dynamic Lot Sizing:

Base lot = AccountBalance() × Risk% / (TickValue × 100 × 10)

Max lot = AccountBalance() × MaxRisk% / (TickValue × 100 × 10)

Emergency Stop: If losses hit StopMinus%, the EA shuts down.

🚀 How to Use This EA

Attach to EURUSD M15/H1 chart (best for low spreads at night).

Set TimeStart & TimeEnd (e.g., 0 to 9 for midnight–9 AM).

Adjust Risk & MaxRisk (e.g., 0.5% risk per trade, 3% max exposure).

Test in demo first! Grid strategies can be risky in trending markets.

Requires monitoring during high-impact news events.

🎉 Final Verdict:

Golden Night is a disciplined grid EA that trades only at night, avoiding daytime volatility. It’s not fully hands-off—monitor during extreme moves.
