Model your XAUUSD grid basket before you trade — lot progression, basket exposure, floating loss, and account drawdown at every level.
| LVL | Lot Size | Basket Lots | New Pos. Loss | Total Float. Loss ($) | DD % |

⚠ How floating loss is calculated:
When N levels are open, price is at grid N. Each position opened one grid further than the last.
snapLoss(N+1) = snapLoss(N) + basketLots × $100 × gridSpacing
💰 Expected daily profit:
Based on 4-account average: $98/week on 0.01 lot → $19.60/day on 0.01 lot (÷5 trading days). Scales with your base lot: (baseLot ÷ 0.01) × $19.60. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
📏 Price movement:
Total price move = maxLevels × gridSpacing. 100 levels × $2 grid → Gold moved $200 against your direction.
🔄 Recovery needed:
Price retrace required to close all positions at break-even. Formula: snapLoss ÷ ($100 × basketLots). Example: $60,000 loss ÷ (100 × 12 lots) = $50 recovery.
