Disliked{quote} That's what we need, share our experiences. The problems i found with other pairs is that due their lack of liquidity, on Live account the slippage is bigger and more often than EURUSD, and with slippage your grid setups become messy and you can get in trouble. From my Live experience with this EA, we need very very liquid pair with wide grid. That's what i am testing now. The principle is that if you have a 50 points grid and the price slips 25 ~ 30 points, your grid is more than 50% wrong on that section. If you have a 150points grid and...Ignored
As we look to the pair EUR/USD ... we know that since June last year we are in a bear market means that every short orders would win, sooner or later till we gone to 1.05. Now looks more to a range 1.05 to 1.15.
I am sorry but I am not a good computer programmer and can not compete with the Author ... I changed the EA with an Statistic Module,
Start EA Equi 5000 USD, lotsize 0.05. I did increase the lotsize with every buystop order with 0.01 and I increase the starting lotsize depends on the Equi. Running time only 2.00 to 3.00 AM (Servertime?) for Open and Close check. I close every order with a minus of 300 USD or other test 100 USD and close every win with a 100 USD. If I close a buy/sell, I put buystop sellstop with Ask + or - 0.00700 and lastorderlots (the one I close) plus 0.1
Everything run smooth till April 2015, see the stats (some errors are in the buystop, sell stop lot stats) that means I run from 5000 USD to 17.000USD (June14 to April15)
