 ==== Grid Pair Position Closing ====
+**Pair Position Closing** is an advanced Grid closing algorithm. It may reduce the equity drawdown.
+It is a good idea to test your strategy with "Pair Closing" on and off and to choose the better option in your case.
+  * When **Grid pair position closing** is off, the Grid closes all open position at once.
+  * When **Grid pair position closing** is on, the Grid closes the first (original) position and the last (most recent) position when thy make profit equal or higher than the **Take Profit (currency)**.
+=== Position Closing Algorithm ===
+The purpose of the Pair Closing is to move the Grid window (respectively the aggregate position price) towards the current market. It does it by closing the first position (fully or partially), together with the last or some of the recent positions on profit.
+The algorithm tries to close or reduce the first entry because it is the least favorable in the adverse market movement.
+The **Pair Closing** uses the **Take Profit (currency)** value as a reference.

+The screenshot above shows 6 open positions, the Pair closing is enabled, and the Take Profit (currency) is set to $20.
+  * **1) - Full Closing** - the Grid closes all open positions if the total profit reaches $20 (now it is -$167.57).
+  * **2) - Full Pair Closing** - the Pair Closing logic closes position #1 (the original one) and position #6 (the latest one) if their profit reaches $20. It is called full pair closing because the first position will be fully closed.
+  * **3) - Partial Pair Closing** - if case 2) happens, the Grid will close position #1 and position #6. However, if the goes against our positions again, the Grid will open a new recovery trade (it will open 0.16 lots because it will be the 5th entry). If the market retraces back and the Grid calculates Partial Pair profit - the full amount of the last position and the profit from 0.01 form the first one (currently 0.02). If it reaches $20, the Grid will close fully the latest position and only 0.01 lots from the first one (aka Partial Pair Closing).
+  * **4) - Multiple Pair Closing** - the Pair Closing algorithm is advanced, it checks not only the first and the last position, but it is able to calculate the combined profit from the first position (full or partial) with several of the latest positions. If their combined profit reaches the target TP (currency), the grid will close multiple positions.
+The "Grid pair position closing" logic may not work well in all cases. Please check your Expert carefully in the MetaTrader's Tester with Pair Closing on and off and choose the better option.
