Trapping System: Grid

Hi Anzip

Would you mind sharing the set files
Did you run the EA automatically or sometime you start it manually like our buddy IGotAplan?
How many pairs did you run?

Thanx in advance

Hi all!
Update: live from 18 working days (almost 4 weeks) and it average a 2% for day.
Still with stop orders and settings posted days before only on eur/usd. We'll see on the long run...
Meanwhile still testing to spread the risk on multiple pairs, trying different grid sizes on different pairs, with stop orders.
Thanks radityo for the EA and everybody here to contribute with the thread.

Have a nice week end!

Hi,
I wasn't aware of this issue until you pointed this out. I was testing with Fixed stop loss and all is working fine. The culprit was on dynamic stop loss.
I have fixed it, but still under \Branches\v1.7.

i use set from andreas11617, he shared at post #969. and try read another post by him.
EA was run in my vps, so this is run automatically, sometimes i check for there's eror or not. i was run for GU AU and UCAD. but next i change pair AU with NU like Andreas use.
good luck

Sharing some results. So, I moved from v1.6 to 1.7 , 8 accounts. Sticked 150 points grid size and PriceInterval 50. This week I tested different TP's: $3,5...$0.5 . Continue on Monday with TP$1..TP$0.7, low numbers, yes but I like the results, accounts lot sizes 0.05 ..0.03 . Yesterdays profit numbers between $50....$100, low dd. Account: lot 0.03, TP1.0 , last 6 hours history plus 4 days statement. I started this account with TP$1.5, 3 simultaneus pairs, and since order 260 I changed TP$1.0 and added one pair,
Andres

Are u using new version 1,7?

Can u please share this set file?

thank u sir

Yes, since Friday morning

Please share the set file sir

Set file is in my post #1041. Please note TP number should be reduced to 1..1,5 max, safer is $1.0
I make some slight changes in grid numbers, will share tomorrow.

Hello Andres,
What does PriceInterval 50 mean? What does it do?

Also would you mind setting up trade explorer to the account(s)? In understanding how it works it would be a big help seeing the trades on the chart in there.

Thank you,
Aron

nice to see it working on live.... what setup do you use? (can you attach your .set file please?) also do you mind giving more details regarding the initial budget and where it is now? (if you have a myfxbook page its better)...

last but not least which version do you use? and do you have issues with the recreationals?


myself i stopped all the demo (more than 15) i had prior of going to vacation (when capital controls started in greece) and will add my findings/suggestions in a few days (i hope)...

more or less are the same as we have discussed in the past...

since i havent followed for a while what is the latests "bug free"/stable version now? and any new findings found?


radityo could you please attach your GTSTOP .set file please? i want to give it a try as all my demos were on LO... i am trying to find it but the thread has grown too much and i am lost ;-)

is anyone of you using FXpro with this EA?

i am asking because i want to try them live (as a second alternative to activtrades and possibly LCG)


also any of you using the amazon AWS as a VPS could you please let me know what is the lag you have with the brokers server? (on the bottom right if you click) and from which location you connect based on AWS?

and a hint
anyone having issues with AWS mt4 being slow should go to tools > options > charts and limit the "max bars in chart" (and in history as well if he doesnt mind) i have it on 5k but this is obviously a personal choice

that would make the mt4 more responsive and this applies not only on VPS but also on desktop use too...

hi im on amazon vps....
this few days was lag like hell....i cant even open a third mt4 program
not sure how the lag will affect the EA

hmm by the way, im not sure why my tickmill acc removed my real account everytime i close the program during weekend. everytime restart mt4 had to key in all the details again. i did click saved password etc.

I am using this ea on fxpro live. On demo they limit the total order to 80 but for live there is no limit. The only problem I had once so far was with the spike in market movement that the grids were all messed up. But in the end tp was hit and my account still survive until now.
I am running this ea on the vps offered by fxpro (beeksfx).

do you have lag in what way?

between the mt4 and the broker? (what's the connection reading on bottom right of your mt4?)

how long have you been running the live version and what disadvantages you have encountered vs the demo?

did/do you run live on other brokers? (in order to see if there are any differences)


btw does anyone know which provider activtrades is using for their VPS offering?

I've been running live for 2 weeks. I feel there is no difference between demo and live. Unfortonately, I have account only with fxpro so can't compare.

you didnt encountered any price slippages? btw are you getting those requote msgs on FXpro? i remember in the past especially during important news that they had those msgs popping up to chose that the price was not available and whether i would like another price offered

No Stop Loss Andres11617?

Thanx

Yes, i do face the slippages but this happens on both demo and live account. Requotes happen when market spike. I experienced once that 8 orders were requoted and opened at the same price. Luckily that the cycle hit TP and all orders were closed properly. Slippages and requotes happen even with the VPS provided by fxpro. So, now I just modify GTSTOP set file to have 15 orders open each side and once recreation threshold got hit (recreation threshold set to 400 points) another 15 pending orders will be created. This will at least help when market spike that orders are waiting to match and no requote. The only problem with this set up is it will take longer time to close all orders once TP is hit. It can be good or bad. If market keeps moving the same direction profit will be more but if it moves in opposite direction then profit will be less than TP. But so far, I never face the loss yet.
