- Is Lattice Weave a martingale or grid EA?
- No. Each of the seven legs opens one position at a fixed 0.1 lot with a stop and a target attached when the order is sent. There is no averaging down, no grid, no recovery trade and no lot progression of any kind. What varies is how many legs happen to be in the market at the same time, not the size of any position.
- How was it tested?
- In the MetaTrader 5 strategy tester on M1 history, every tick generated from M1 bars, from 2019-01-01 to 2026-08-07, with all seven legs running on one AUD/USD H1 chart at 0.1 lot per leg on a $10,000 balance. That produced 501 closed trades across the seven pairs. The published backtest is the part of that run that ends at the 2026-04-01 cutoff; what the same build did after that date is shown separately as the verification window, so the two never share a trade. Every closed trade is published on this page and downloadable as CSV, including which symbol it was opened on.
- Does the backtest include swap?
- Yes, per leg, taken from the broker's own history — the per-deal swap is in the published trade ledger. Commission was zero in this run. Positions are held about twelve days on average and the daily legs can run far longer, so swap matters here more than it would for a short-term EA, and a broker with different swap rates will produce a different result. One caveat worth stating plainly. A broker's stored swap history is revised over time, so re-running this exact build on the same dates does not reproduce the same figures to the cent. We measured that directly. A re-run gave identical entries and exits on all of them, the same prices to the last digit, and a total that differed only by financing, almost all of it on the longest-held leg. The figures on this page are the run whose report is published above.
- Why seven pairs in one EA instead of seven EAs?
- Because the record on this page is the seven running as one account, which is the thing you would actually operate. Each leg is simple enough to describe in a line, but a single leg trades too rarely to judge, and running seven separately would mean seven charts, seven records and no shared view of the exposure. Combining them also means their bad periods do not have to arrive together — except when they do, which is the main risk stated above.
- Can I turn individual legs off?
- No. The seven legs are compiled into the build and there is no switch for them, by design — the published record is one run with all seven working together, so any subset would be a different strategy with a different drawdown that nothing on this page describes. The lot is different — it is an input, so you can scale it to your own balance. What you cannot do is give the legs different sizes, because all seven open whatever you set, and it does not grow or shrink with the balance.
- My broker adds a suffix to its symbol names. Will it work?
- Set the symbol suffix input to whatever your broker appends, or leave it empty if the symbols have none — the build ships empty. The EA adds that suffix to each leg's base name at start-up. A leg whose symbol cannot be selected is skipped with a message in the Experts log and never trades, so a wrong suffix silently removes legs rather than trading the wrong thing.
- What happens when the spread widens?
- Each leg refuses new entries while its own spread is wider than its own guard. Open positions are never closed because of spread, so a widening spread can only stop a leg entering, not force it out.
