Hi Kos, Its not really about the Holy Grail but its about finding where the limitation of the current system exist. Pips pointed out that during this testing when using the current grid size he never got boxed in. However, the testing reveals that ...

Hi Guys, I have been doing a lot testing over today and last night. I have coded various version of the EA... 1. Expanding gird when both sides are taken out 2. Progressively making the gap in the grid larger as you move away from the initial ...

Is this Demo or Live?

Hi Kosmo, I should be able to add that but would have to wait as its lower priority. However, I have already built in a kill switch for my testing. You can ask the EA to stop trading after this current cycle has reached the desired Equity. I am ...

Damn it.... keep on blowing my account with the increasing grid size.

Also, whats your leverage?

For this you need to look at your trade report. The EA should be closing all open orders at the same time. So when you see a set of orders closing, you need to count the number of trades that were closed at the same this. This should give you the ...

Shiva could you please do a favour and check what is the max number of trades you had open at any given time during your testing period?

Hi shiva, Thanks for this. Yes I understand that the default settings should give you a high return on armada because of stacking but you should also get boxed in more quickly (at least what I think). I will try the new version with defaults and see ...

shiva can you please provide the exact settings you are using for armada. I need to test the upgrades to the EA. Thanks.

Yes I realise that. But this bac testing will help me optimise the EA for forward testing. Please suggest if you know of any good free platforms.

Already done. But still there was a problem as the ea would only retry 3 times to close each set.

Ignore my FXCM. I am going to be using Armada. Will update the explorer soon. Yes, We need to have a good discussion about the grid level distances, size of the box etc. I am trying to figure out and see if I can bring some figures to the table. ...

I know there will be slipups and it wont be the same. But, atleast we will have an idea of the size of boxes that have formed in the past so that we optimise the settings for the forward testing. You said you haven't been hit since using 30 steps ...

I am not sure how the current version deals with left over trades. Pipstar says it deletes them. I have now re-written the code to ensure that trades do close before moving on to the next round. Hopefully some testing and then release

By the way the current version of the EA has a lot of bugs. One that I fixed is as follows: When TP is hit, the EA starts closing all open trades.... It starts closing all pending trades....... However, while closing the pending trades of one of the ...

Pips, The first thing I am trying to do now is setup the EA so that I can run back tests. Now, these backtests are not to see how profitable the EA is. But, to find out if and how many times we get boxed in. We need to be able to find a solution to ...

Hi Cristian, Can you tell me how you tested this EA? Didn't it have open orders when the testing period finished closing which prematurely most likely would result in a loss at the very end right? How did you manage to get over that? @Pips - Don't ...

Could you please explain with a difference in case of this EA. I fail to see a difference!
