Sail the Grid - System without the need to analyze the chart

Flowerhorn,

can you please look once more in your code. I have start the testin the middle of the last year, but no trade is activate. Is this because grid no that much high?

Edit: As the user lghr suggest to trade this with negative correlate pair, do you can code this avaible for all pairs, so we can make the EA also working with other pairs?
Market is more simple as you think.

I made Display improvement and some logic algorithmic corrections. Here is SailTheGrid EA ver 2. Settings still the same. Initially, 1 BUY trade and 1 SELL trade will open at current price.Say price is 1.13000. PRICE BUY SELL 1.13000 #1 #1 If price UP (goes to 1.13200), BUY trade #1 will close and new BUY trade #2 and new SELL trade #2 will open. PRICE BUY SELL 1.13200 #2 #2 1.13000 #1 If price goes UP again (goes to 1.13400), BUY trade #2 will close. New BUY trade #3 and SELL trade #3 open. PRICE BUY SELL 1.13400 #3 #3 1.13200 #2 1.13000 #1 Price...
Do you really want to do this kind of trading and have at least usd 11000 then buy one call with a delta of around 90% and buy one put with same delta on Chicago Mercantile Exchange currency futures options for at least 60 to 90 days or estimate days in which you think reversal will happen. Diection forecast is not required since you are buying options for both directions to happen.

I normally buy the two in the money options by paying 400 points premium for each. Total 800 points or pips will be the investment. If you think eurusd will reverse after 100 points then put TP for 100 pips on both sides. You have to be good at forecasting reversal point and probable time. If price goes up sell the option and wait for reversal to happen. And then take profit on reversal.

EA works on all pairs.
Magic number setting available in setting window.

If you want to use this ea on 2 pairs and see the balance of the account of the 2 pair testing using MT4 strategy tester, do the following:
1. Run the 1st pair test in MT4 strategy tester. After finished running. go to Report Tab, right click , select Save as Report in dropdown menu and key in the filename.
2. Do the same as above for 2nd pair, when finished running, key in another filename for the report (in htm extension).
3. Download and install
i. Java
ii. Report Manager
4. Open Report Manager. Click <File> tab, then <Open Report>, select the two saved filenames by holding the the <Ctrl> key while selecting the files. Press the <Merge Reports> button. A new merged report will be generated.Click the new merged file to view the Account balanced chart with the 2 EA.

This EA is designed to be used with no forecasting at all.

It is based on price zig zagging. If price goes UP or DOWN (goes DOWN or UP), we make money. BUt if price goes one way straight, we pray to God price will retrace, and in that retracement we reduce our drawdowns. Therefore with many UP and DOWN, our drawdowns will reduced and finally we make profit.

Many thanks cigarguy. Your thread are best for scalping with the ema, nothing comes close.
Market is more simple as you think.
Beside the great effort flowerhorn,

can someone build some helpers we can put in chart? Something that we can see what places in grid are activate, what places closed, what is the farest trade? In this manner i think will be good, if we choose to trade without EA. Hope someone can pick this up.

Many thanks for the EA flowerhorn. Nice gift.

you can add the option to close one/all magic's trades when
accountequity() >= accountbalance() + moneyprofit ? if i put moneyprofit = 5 it closes when balance is 10000
and equity is 10005.

I not very sure what you want.

Questions:
1. If use EA, you want to see EA shows first trade, where EA closes all trades and the furthest trades. YES or NO?

2. If no use EA, you make first trade. You want to see first trade placed. YES or NO?
3. Then after many trades opened, you want to see the farthest losing trade. YES or NO?
4. Then you closed all the trades, you want to see where they closed. YES or NO?

Give me some time to make drawing, what i have in mind for a tool.
If you can realize number one, it will be good.

For the numbers 2 - 4 i must think about.

If you want to realize number one, no need helper.
What you must do:
1. In Terminal WINDOW Trade TAB, right click anywhere and select Comments. Click Time and then Comment headings. Remember the trade made by EA (shown by m=magic number) with oldest date.
2. Go to Account History TAB, then click Time and Comment Headings. Compare the EA oldest trade with oldest EA trade in Trade TAB. The first trade made by EA will the result of the two oldest trades comparison.
3. In Account History TAB, click Profit and Comment Headings. The EA trade with largest loss in the Profit column is the farthest losing trade.
4. After EA closes all trades, go to Account History TAB. See the price column next to Time column. When you see many EA trades have same close prices, this is where EA closes all trades.

Hope you understand
Very interesting thread, however it seems not that easy as it looks. I am not the only one who is going to ask questions, I already did in PM No offense at all but when you make a system it is all clear to yourself but you have to realize that it is complicated for others......However, this system looks very promising and it is an intelligent one but it can be dangerous. Each time a new position is openend for both directions and the direction will keep the same your losses will be huge. I really don't understand how to handle this Maybe, next week in real live demo market all will be clear but for now and I am very sorry and I am not stupid I don't understand. When you have 5 positions in a row in the same direction you are winning 5 x 20 pips = 100. But you lose some too.....

Position 1 you lose 20
Position 2 you lose 20 again and another 20 of position 1 = 40
Position 3 you lose 20 again and another 40 of position 1+2 = 60
Position 4 you lose 20 again and another 60 of position 1+2+3 = 80
Position 5 you lose 20 again and another 80 of position 1+2+3+4 = 100

Total loss = 300 after 5 trades. You win 100. General -200. Please correct me if I am wrong!

Position 6, we are going down...... Again, maybe I don't get the point, but please, explain it to me...........................

We make +20 in position 6 because of the sell. And we make of course another -20 because of the new buy position at position 6.
Still -200 in loss but......................

Because of the sell direction of position 6 all other sell positions 1 till 5 who are still open will make now profit.
But this will be 5 x 20 pips which means in general we are still in loss...... 200 loss - 100 profit (5 x 20) = -100

I can't get it into my head...........

What do we have to do? As soon position 6 is closed we have to close the largest loss immediately? Hence position 1? Why?

I am looking forward to replies. Thanks!
Keep it simple without too many crappy indicators!

{quote} If we consider net opened positions at each grid level, then in nutshell I think we are just selling each grid level when price rises and buying each grid level when price falls. In short, profit is made only if price moves somewhere and then returns to the initial point. But there would be a disaster if price kept trending in one direction for a long time.
Michael:- I feel this is important to resolve to make your system loss proof. I think that your system is highly dependent on fact that market mean reverses or retraces. Also, I think it is just a wastage of money in the form of transaction cost to buy1 unit sell1 unit at a price say 1.3100, these two trades have no real market existence and is just a loss of transaction cost. Its better to trade on net position basis and keep our transaction cost minimal.
