Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone could point me to the right direction, I'm looking for an EA that adds positions to a winning trade after a number of pips.

Idealy would also have a trailing stop option but this is not as important.

For example I will place a buy or a sell order and the EA after that will add a new position every 8 pips if all other positions are in profit.

Thank you

Although I didn't understand the settings... YUP, it works for the part 1 of the strategy.

Do you know an indy which displays on a corner of the chart screen the number of open buy and the number of open sell ? Thx.
iExposure will someone do this for you. Although it doesn't mention the number of positions per say, it says how many lots you have open on each side.

It should be a standard indicator on your MT4

Although if you want to see all your tickets, I attach iExposure Tickets.

It's a bit more screen consuming but I'll let you decide which one is best for you IF ANY.

Cheers!

Daniel

{quote} Hi Ab, Other than the PM I sent you earlier, I noticed that overall, it is closing many positions at what I like to call "very near 0 profit". In some instances there can be 6 positions that cancel themselves at this "near 0 profit". I have my TP set at 5 just for experimenting. Although DD is very low, I think positions are closing to early. I can't really pinpoint where and why it doesn't seem to mimic Mr Remon's strategy other than to say positions should close in profit and although this is happening, there are a few that close at loss,...
Thank you Daniel,

"very near 0 profit" is a result of using close_by.

This is a version without using close_by, so that it will be easier to compare. However it is necessary to use close_by in final version as it will highly affect the profitability of this system. I also removed the time filter and the close profit, so now it should mimic the video 2.

I also included the source code if coders have time to look at and discover any bugs.

All the best,

Khalil

Thanks Ab,

I'll have a look at this very shortly. I am hoping that also you have fixed the fact that it is not opening new sell positions in the grid once the original ones have closed?

I posted you a screen shot of it in an earlier post.

Thanks for taking keen interest for this!

Hi Ab,

I will test the latest version of your ea (APG_03) on many pairs and see what is going on. I also read all the notifications that keyduck did.
Hope i can help you. I think your ea is the closest to remon's strategy part 2.

Thanks for your work ! I will post some screenshot if i see a bug

I just saw your chart.
True. It opens coupled trades only at the same price, at least this is what I understood.
@remon please confirm if it should also open single trades in the middle.
If so I will modify accordingly.

That is right, Khalil. That was my understanding, too, i.e. strategy opens new trades only in couples (for optimum hedging), which couples can be opened ABOVE the HIGHEST BUY or BELOW the LOWEST SELL.

APG_03 EA forward test in progress (see below).

As of note: Since all trades are hedged, the shown floating loss is exclusively made up by accumulated SPREAD COSTS.

very nice thread with lots of discussion.. my point is that this is not a strategy.. this is just a pure money management where trader keeps open lose position until its not green (either bulk or single). You can do this strategy if you have enough money on account and you are willing to hold positions in weeks, months or years, but this one is automated and opens plenty positions. Also would be good to know if trader will close 1 or 2 or more loss manualy if EA will not crash or the calculating will move to other trades.

Its would be great if programer would add a comments with current margin to EU as well as current loss and probably the largest loss trade in pips so you can see how it behaves in long counter trend

That one seems to respect the original idea quite well. Closing the losing position when a positive one gets enough money, to make a small profit and cover the losing trade as well.

Nice one. So if you make the buy side ea.....and run them on 2 charts....sell on one....buy on the other..... that should be pretty good.

Will you make the settings a little more friendly....ha ha.

Speaking of bugs, Here's one .

void check_for_close()
{
int j,tk_buy_loss=999999,tk_buy_prof=0,tk_sell_loss=999999,tk_sell_prof=0;
double buy_loss=0,buy_prof=0,sell_loss=0,sell_prof=0;
....

Fix:

void check_for_close()
{
int j,tk_buy_loss=0,tk_buy_prof=0,tk_sell_loss=0,tk_sell_prof=0;
double buy_loss=999999,buy_prof=0,sell_loss=999999,sell_prof=0;

Regardless, I think it is still the nearest to what it needs to do.

THIS IS THE BIT I DON'T GET...

Because I can't see which trades got closed and under which conditions... I can only ponder why did this close trades at a loss?

I'm not complaining because there are far more profitable trades getting closed longer term... but it seems to me there is a grid condition closure failure somewhere!??!

Thanks everyone,

In attachment my source code for Part2 of this idea (eramax_remon).
the source code is not working well but just a try and someone can continue it.

In attachment as well there is my update on "remon78eg 30-03-2016" EA, and my backtest for 5 years with 99% quality.

as far as I understood Vid. #2
If price moves up one level you make a buy and/or a sell if there isn't already a position at that price
Highest buy/lowest sell price doesn't matter

Do you know the reasons behind the two main spikes that lead to a big DD ? Big trend happened in 2013 i suppose ?

This is what I thought... but Ab and MG see it different.

Looking forward from Mr Remon for some clarity
