please add SL to it and make it go both ways buy and sell at the same time

is possilble to set a Multiplier for Grid Order ?  

Hi nice robot. Bactesting it has promising result. the only thing I was worried about was the equity drawdown. Is there a way we can add parameter that will limit the maximum open position at any g iven time in order to lessen equity drawdown or margin calls?

Amazingly effective in back-testing, yet superbly simple in operation. An outstandfiong achievement which has been shared with the community. I am incredibly grateful and will look out for further developments.
