Hi yousername, Many thanks for making your EA available. Would it be possible for you to make it trade any lot size. I would prefer trading at 0.1 lots. I am fully aware of the risks of Grid Traders but I believe with sufficient capital 0.1 lots can be traded successfully. Thank you and Best rgds

{quote} That was embarassing. I missed the magic number check. OrderSelect(x, SELECT_BY_POS); if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderType()==OP_BUY && closeBuy &&OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber) OrderClose( OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_ASK), Slippage, Red ); else if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderType()==OP_SELL && closeSell &&OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber) OrderClose( OrderTicket(), OrderLots(), MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(), MODE_BID), Slippage, Red ); I'm testing it on my end.

{quote} Just a small technical note : When you close a buy trade use Bid price not Ask, and vice versa for a sell trade. Good Luck

Hi yousername, What does the EA use to establish bullish /bearish/neutral? Can the line option be used in a visual backtest? Thanks maahome

{quote} Thanks for the questions mate. I appreciate for your interest. The signal is based on 3 Indis such as Aligator with 2 EMA(5,10) crossing, Zigzag and RSI. If each indi is bullish or bearish or non at all it will produce either 1 or -1 or 0 I summed all the result hence something like below if it >=3 then it's bullsiih (1,1,1 = 3) <=-3 then it's bearish (-1,-1,-1 = -3) ==0 then it's neutral (1,0,-1 = 0) It's simple, nothing fancy but it works ok. Regarding trading using the line option in the backtest, I have not tried that yet. But if it...

{quote} Many thanks for the quick response. I like the way it does things. A couple of thoughts - Have you considered a dynamic grid (say one that expands during very long extended moves)? As far as I can see their is only the one hedge trade right at the start and if you have the grid set to say 20 trades it will open 1 sell and 19 buys in a bullish cycle (that was how it backtested anyway) - is that what you wanted? I am also assuming that on automatic that it can only open a buy grid on bullish and a sell grid on bearish - what is the rule with...

Warning 3: When you change time frame, it deletes all objects that isn't related to Flexy Grid A new version will come soon. But I don't think this is urgent. So I'm gonna finish this tomorrow

I guess a version of this EA that didn't hedge would go against the basic strategy?

"Relative Starting Point" with RR 1:1 (illustrating my PM exposure) My scheme is an example of how you can move along with the market in order to be offered with multiple chances to "reload" if the market goes against you in the first moments... Is the classical RR1:1 trading but the huge advantage is that you can afford now to sail with the market, the starting point of your trading sequence is not in a rigid place, now is shifting around with the capricious market. {image}

{quote} A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Illustration! Thank you for spending your time drawing the grid. I appreciate it. I prefer the 2nd and 3rd Illustration. I like the dipped before going higher. Usually that happens when you are in a trend continuation where over that short period of time, the market is in a range market. The first Illustration is when the market is in a high volatility to one direction, in this case up. Usually this happens during the breakout of a ranging market. Best regards Yousername

Thank you so much. Before I read your request, you figured it out. Nice skills there Yousername...an MT4 programmer who also can see the future! lol. This is coming along nicely. Liked your post on its use and purpose...trend continuation, ranging markets, etc. I am trying to fit it into a system where I know where I believe the market is going and want to put X number of trades in on its way there, as well as 3-5 in the opposite direction to give it some room to go in the opposite direction first. So, for a Bearish trade, for example, maybe a few...
