My best to you.

Merci,

Good-morning all,
Great Thanks to Angel65 and ~bull.bear~ for your contribution. I have been trading this system in the last 6weeks Profitably and I have noticed some weaknesses.
1. Your Brokers spread:
For Take Profit = TP-Spread= New Take Profit: To avoid opening of two orders in the same direction.
For Stop Loss = 2 Times New Take Profit -Spread : So that we will have risk to reward ratio 2:1.
2. This is a question: Can we make the grid EA to work with EMA 10.


Thanks for your contributions.

Happy Trading.
Hello dare123, bull.bear and all too,

Regarding dare123's questions :


For Take Profit = TP-Spread= New Take Profit: To avoid opening of two orders in the same direction.
For Stop Loss = 2 Times New Take Profit -Spread : So that we will have risk to reward ratio 2:1

The spread cost should be include in the EA's code for the TP and the SL, I mean that you have to add the spread cost (in pips). For example, 3 pips spread on the EURUSD with a 20 pips TP and 40 pips SL, you have to add on the TP/SL the spread cost or TP=23 and SL=43

Is that okay for you guys ?


This is a question: Can we make the grid EA to work with EMA 10.

BECAREFUL on adding too much rules ........ EMAs are lagging indicator........IMHO I prefer trading with the VOLATILY on my side, without slippages in price = NO profit !!


Merci de votre attention,

Happy and fun trading all,

Angel65,
For No 1.
For example if your broker spread for EUR/USD is 2pips

Buy Stop @1.3060 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips
Buy Stop @1.3040 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips
Buy Stop @1.3020 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips- Market Price at SELL@1.3038:BUY@1.3040 =TP-Spread= New Take Profit: If TP is not at the SELL price before the trade close in profit, the order Buy Stop @1.3040 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips will be opened.To avoid that our TP as to be TP-Spread = 18pips and @ 1.3038.
and since our SL is times 2 of TP, our SL=36pips.

Current market price: 1.3000 (grid 20pips for example) 1.3038

Sell Stop @1.2980 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips
Sell Stop @1.2960 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips
Sell Stop @1.2940 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips

For 2, you are right no need to use indicator since trades open at market opening time.

Current market price:...

Bonjour dare123,

I agree with you with a SL 2 times the TP

As I prefer to add the spread because we pay it, so 20 pips TP + spread with a SL 40 pips + spread. I mean with a 2 pips spread, 22 pips TP with a 42 pips SL.

Merci de ton attention,

Happy and fun trading all,

Angel65 & dare123:

Let me explain about the coding.
Spread is 2 pips. Current quote bid is 1.2998 and ask is 1.3000. We are long position at price 1.3000 with TP and SL 40 pips.
EA is allowed to close the position either triggered SL or TP based on Bid price, not ask price. Therefore, your buying position has been included spread 2 pips. That means when price hit TP, the market quote price is bid 1.3040 and ask 1.3042. Hope this clear.

And for MA. It is not necessary because Angel65 mentioned the rules (None of sell stop orders would be opened if price shoot up and U-Turn back). If we have the rules of capturing ranging and trending patterns, then we should apply MA to filter the overall trend (Uptrend or downtrend). Unfortunately, we are trading during london and new york sessions.

Another ideas from me, the grid size might be determined by the breakout support and resistance price. Example: GMT 0600 to 0800, the range between high and low will be the grid size and initial grid price will be near to breakout point. So this is just the combination of session breakout + grid system.
**Keep Simple**
Bonjour bull.bear,

1) Yes, we BUY the ASK and SELL the BID !

2) OK for NOT using MA or others LAGGING indicators : keep it simple !!

3) GOOD idea to add an additional GRID size variable called BreakOutSupportResistance based on hourly bracket from GMT0600am to 0800am for example.

This is below the rules updated :


------------------------------------ --------------
Buy Stop @1.3060 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips
Buy Stop @1.3040 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips
Buy Stop @1.3020 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips

Current market price: 1.3000 (grid 20pips for example)

Sell Stop @1.2980 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips
Sell Stop @1.2960 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips
Sell Stop @1.2940 ; SL 40pips, TP 20pips


1) Open pending orders at the LONDON open or 8:00am GMT time
2) Open pending orders at the NEW YORK open or 13:00pm GMT time
3) Currency pairs traded : EURUSD, GBPUSD for example or more pairs
4) Grid Size : 20 pips
5) Grid Size BOSR session : HIGH/LOW of the time session in pips
6) Range Grid size : for example with a 20 pips Grid Size, 200 pips would mean 10 BUY STOP pending orders > to the current market price and 10 SELL STOP pending orders < to the current market price
7) Position Size : x% of the account balance in lot
8) Take Profit : in pips
9) Stop Loss : in pips
10) Close ALL PENDING orders when the LONDON session is over or 16:00pm GMT time
11) Close ALL PENDING orders when the NY session is over or 22:00pm GMT time
12) Close ALL OPEN trades when the LONDON session is over or 16:00 GMT time
13) Close ALL OPEN trades when the NY session is over or 22:00pm GMT time
14) Close ALL OPEN and PENDING orders if Profits are for example +5% for the day
15) Close ALL OPEN and PENDING orders if losses are for example +5% for the day
------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ ------------------- -------


Happy trading all,

Merci

Having said that, you can use ALONE the Grid system or combine the Grid system with the BOSR session (true/false settings)

I think it is better you go through the strategy and make a constructive statement.
That's what I was asking for; where is the new strategy?

Read the first post.
When you place your next grid, do you delete previous pending stop orders?

Can you explain your 5th point with some detail example?
Coding is Poetry....
hi dare123 and bull.bear,

subscribed, I will test and report results shortly.

To clarify, is G101 EA based on the dare123 strategy AFTER dare's return from vacation? Just trying to plot the right order from the posts.

Thanks,
g.
dare 123: Welcome back dare123, hope you enjoy the holiday. What is the status now? Any different for the system now and the pass? More green pips?

gman007: Hi! I think dare123 will answer your question.

Happy new green pips year!
