GridRunner

Adaptive grid trading strategy that dynamically adjusts to market conditions. Places a grid of buy orders below and sell orders above a calculated center price, profiting from price oscillations within the grid range. Detects the current market regime (ranging, trending up/down, or high volatility) and adapts grid spacing, center bias, and position sizing accordingly. Grid spacing is ATR-based and automatically adjusts to current volatility. Includes margin ratio gating, max filled level limits, trailing stops on accumulated positions, and emergency close for when price breaks the grid boundary.
