Grid Trading is a practice where a trader uses a series of sequential trades in an attempt to average the price down to make large profits by statistically forcing the trade.
Grid trading parameters:
Instrument: Using the same instrument
Direction (Buy or Sell): The trades all have the same direction
Number of trades: Opening more than 3 trades on the same instrument and with the same direction.
This behavior that does not take into account risk management is absolutely prohibited in Prop Number One.
