Strategy

How correlation-grid trading works

Currency pairs don't move in isolation. Pairs like EURUSD and GBPUSD, or AUDUSD and NZDUSD, tend to move together because they share economic drivers. A correlation grid takes advantage of this by trading two correlated pairs as one hedged basket — going one direction on the first and the opposite on the second — so the position profits when the spread between them reverts to its average.

Because the two legs partly offset each other, the basket is less exposed to a single market shock than a naked position. Our EA then "grids" the spread: if it widens, it adds measured positions and waits for mean reversion, while volatility-aware guards widen the spacing exactly when markets get fast — so it becomes more cautious when risk is highest.


Risk

Why drawdown caps matter

The fastest way to blow an account is to keep averaging into a losing position with no limit. A drawdown cap sets a hard ceiling on how much open risk a strategy may carry; once approached, the system stops opening new averaging trades. It's the difference between a controlled pause and a catastrophic loss.

Botomout's engine pairs a configurable drawdown cap with loss-booking and trailing take-profit, so winners are protected and losers are contained. Returns matter — but survival matters more. Try the numbers yourself with our risk calculator.

Paying with crypto: a quick guide

Crypto (especially USDT on the Tron network) is fast, low-fee and borderless — ideal for buying trading tools internationally. You send a fixed USDT amount to a wallet address (or scan a QR), and once the network confirms the transaction, your product activates automatically.

At Botomout, paying with crypto also gets you an instant 10% discount. See current pricing on the products page.
