Bot vs firm verdict
Grid Master 3000 vs prop firms, which actually pass?
Representative grid-trading EA, one of the most-sold strategy types on MQL5; known for catastrophic drawdowns.
Verdict matrix
Firm-by-firm: passes, busts, or untested.
Trailing 5% DD floor incompatible with grid drawdown profile, any meaningful adverse run busts the account.
Static 10% DD looks generous but grid bots routinely produce >10% drawdowns when the underlying trend persists against the grid.
Pending relaunch.
Trailing $2,500 DD on $50K = 5%, grid bots bust this routinely on trending markets.
1% daily loss limit and 4% static DD are nowhere near wide enough for grid drawdown profile.
Same trailing-DD floor as the other trailing-DD products. Grid bots are categorically incompatible with prop-firm rules.
About Grid Master 3000
The strategy in plain English.
Grid bots open new positions at regular price intervals against the trend, averaging down on losers in the hope of recovering on a reversal. They look profitable on short backtests because the equity curve climbs slowly and steadily, until it doesn't, at which point the cumulative position size produces a near-100% account drawdown. Prop firms hate grid bots because the drawdown profile is asymmetric: small wins, occasional catastrophic loss. We include this entry as a cautionary example, not a recommendation.
