hey jeta..... pure rigid grids do seem abit spicey for my tastes......
however, after some very intense backtesting of timefreedoms ea with a small but flexible grid , the improvement is hard to deny.... small being only 2 to 4 buy/sellstops and flexible being differing lot sizes and spaced unevenly, ( the ea needs control of the values in this sentence).......
timefreedoms ea has roughly a 80+ win rate as is...... if we add on just 2 more 'grid' trades at high success times, the win rate climbs to over 90..... if we shy away from the wild pairs and trade something casual like eurusd, the success rate is higher still.....
it appears, to me, the major weakness of grids is when they are applied with every buy/sell stop having equal chance of success.... they do not.... and therein perhaps lies craig's theremin....
teamsky, of the most recent metaquotes contest, placed orders during a particular hour every day...... his orders were placed with only a 6 pip profittarget.... he placed 9th in the contest turning 10k to a tad under 30k in a few months..... and that's with the restrictions of the contest rules......
makes me wonder just what in unrestricted real life could have be made had 2 additional stop orders been placed in a flexible manner....... h
