Just a couple of questions, unless I am missing something but there does not appear to be an option to select the pairs one wants MDA to trade, and no field to input the percentage of balance or equity to use per trade (not sure whether this was meant to be an option or not).

(1) The 'Percentage based lot sizing' does not appear to be working. I inputted 0 in the 'Lot' field under 'Hard lot sizing' to deactivate this and inputted 1 in the 'Risk Percent' field under ''Percentage based lot sizing'. 'Use Balance' under 'Account size lot sizing' was also set to true just in case. However, the EA displays 0.0 lot and freezes (timer not counting, no trades sent sent, and trying to remove the EA freezes Empty4). Screenshot attached below.

(2) With the first trades sent by the Grid, even though I inputted a stop loss of 75 pips in the 'StopLossPips' field under 'Hard stops', the 'StopOrderDistancePips' under the 'First Trades' field is added to the stop loss. For example I inputted 20 in the 'StopOrderDistancePips', MDA sent a buystop for AudChf at price 0.65058 and stop loss of 0.64108 (95 pips below) instead of 0.64308 (75 pips below). So, the 20 pips have been added to the 75 pips stop loss.
I don't know whether the same thing applies to subsequent grid trades (as non has been initiated so far; just starting to demo it) and to TP (as I am not using target profits).

I hope I am not completely mistaken and chatting BS, but if I am, please accept my apology and ignore me. Thanks.

Re 1) you are possibly confusing the EA. I don't know. Nor do I care. The risk percent lot size code is not mine and I do not understand it.
