I'm fine, thank you. As you mentioned, a classic way of hedging is not suitable for a grid trading EA. I think your logic dealing with hedging could be a good approach. Hedging must has its purpose. Eventually, the hedged pairs have to be nicely ...

As I had mentioned before, I don't think it is a right approach to implement a hedging function into Icarus, because hedging function violate the against trend grid trading logic. However, it is not to say we cannot code another EA that serve as a ...

It seems to me that you are using pending orders to initiate the trade. No mention of pending orders cannot work in the back testing, I think, the spirit of Zone Recovery is no loss but only win. You may select indicators whatever you like to help ...

I am not so sure. You can test it on the fore test. I think it is a better way to code a special purpose EA for protecting Icarus by hedging. The EA is not a grid trading EA, it has its own magic number, but can input the magic number of Icarus. ...

The codes of Icarus somewhere did has a restriction for running in a live account. But the restriction doesn't enable, that is the code is marked off.

Although I had mentioned before, it is not a good approach to put a hedging mechanism into Icarus. But it is not to say we cannot code another EA for hedging when needed. The EA is only served as a safe guard of Icarus. One can run the EA when ...

If the demo account your broker provides to you works as the same as its live account, you can then use the same settings on the live account. However, you have to very careful of this point, some broker's demo account are different to their live ...

Yes. Robin's hedging filter works for a given range of price, when the price is within the range will not do hedging. Because Robin has a separated cycle to manage hedging orders and the hedging order when reach its stop loss won't hedging the loss ...

Have you ever try Robin? It is a with the trend grid trading EA. url

No, I did not code the EA to have a max size of grid. There is a setting of max_position that you can set, the default should be 6. Means only open at most 6 position in a cycle. (I did not code this part of Icarus, it remains the same as original ...

Do you really understand ATR indicator? If not, don't use Atr_Grid_Size() to determine the grid size. For if your ATR settings is not proper, and calculate a very small grid (close to zero or zero), then the grid size progression won't work. Because ...

No, it is totally irrelevant to the grid size progression. No mater what the grid size is determined, buy manual setting or by ATR, the grid size progression is base on the determined grid size to calculate the virtual SL. As attached source codes: ...

I have no idea to this, because ATR for grid size doesn't touch that part of trading logic of Icarus. As shown above, ATR_Grid_Size() only replace the grid_size and the take_profit at the beginning of each cycle. The rest codes of Icarus are ...

ATR grid size is only using ATR to calculate a dynamic grid size when every new buy/sell cycle is initiated. When using ATR grid size, the Take Profit of the settings is also override a new Take Profit. When in the cycle (buy or sell) ATR grid size ...

You have to aware that the symbol property of XAU is different to currency pairs. PIP is a unit specific for currency pairs. That is, for every currency pairs, one lot is 10 USD per PIP. However, for XAU, if employing PIP unit, one lot is 1 USD per ...

No. The indicators are all built in.

GS_Progression is set grid size progression. 0 means keep the same size, 1 means 1, 2, 3, ..., 2 means 1, 2, 4, 8,..., 3 means 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8. Account_Risk use to control account risk, value from 0 to 1. If set to 0.3 means when equity is less ...

Increase grid size will reduce the DD. Also, run B/T on M1 period will give you a more accurate result. Use TickStory to prepare your history tick data and make the spread can be reflect to the Bid and Ask when running B/T. If you ignore the spread ...

Share your strategy test report including your settings. BTW, your testing quality is not good enough, how did you prepare your history testing data?

Martingale function is already in Icarus. Set the progression to 2, it is Martingale.
