If yes, then there's no need a new GRID STYLE, So I can release version 1.8.

Any possibility to add a button on screen for user to input a hard stop & tp on all grid position.
I think currently the sl & tp say 25 pips is the average of all current active orders
p/s Or additional option at parameters settings sl & tp from last grid order

Version 1.8 will have 1. EMAIL alert 2. A new GRID STYLE like below B B B B S S S S 3. Flashing PIPS and PROFIT (red = negative, green = positive) 4. The order of closing the pending orders in a grid change from outside in to inside out. I've talked about this before, probably in page 8 or 7 {image}
My Lord, i'm having a back ache for sitting too long coding and testing.

Version 1.8 is done EXCEPT for #4, having some difficulty
Update to the User Interface

I want to clarify one point as seen in the screenshot

So from the screnshot if you set "How many Stop/Limit Orders per grid" to 100, then you will see GRID SIZE X 2 = 200.
100 LIMIT and 100 STOP pending oder

Please exploit/abuse/rape it to the max.

Let me know if there's any bug or question

Thank you
God Bless

I just updated the file again. Please retry download

I can add some feature on the USE LINES button to close a grid when crossing the horizontal line

i.e.
NAME_TP
NAME_SL
NAME_C

TP = It will take profit (close the grid) when there's profit in the grid
SL = It will stop loss (close the grid) when the grid position is losing
C = It will close the grid

The grid will be close when the price crosses the line accordingly.

What do you think?

BTW I don't understand this part of your message

Damn, new versions coming quick like a shot! Thanks much for your effort, yousername! Just in case you're looking for more ideas: Auto-Breakeven Trading grid is always related to bigger drawdowns, mainly because of economic events. Thing is, most of these impacts are announced even before they come. There are dozens of economic calenders out there, as you know. IMHO, high impact events are death to any grid strategy. But here's the point: We will never be able to only trade when no high impacts...
I'm considering to have Auto-Breakeven, News, DrawDown (maybe)

Questions
1. You mentioned "embrace the possibility of losing and decide if close the grid completely. "
Let say when the BReakeven button is on.
Big bearish news came out.
YOur bullish grid never reached the breakeven when the news out.
Then what? Keep the losing bullish grid open until it reaches the SL?

2. Displaying maximum drawdown? It's possible, but what for exactly? Can you think of any advantage having such feature for decision taking? If so, please explain it, so maybe I can apply it to the AUTOMATIC trading as well

Hi yousername, The grid is taking good shape. If you can bring clarity to your methods it will be an excellent manager for Risk Reward and Grid. I would use it more for money management than for trading martingale itself. I would prefer to wait for the trade as per my plan rather than trading impulsively. Direction is decided by me based upon my view of fundamentals and pairs behaviour. It is totally subjective and is not influenced by any indicator at all. I divide my trading money in smaller lots and make deep pip pockets (contract values ofcourse...

Example of my trade based on Murrey Math zones: https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...3#post10028623 The trade is now breakeven with 200 pips profit as breathing space and aiming at 1:2 reward {image}

{quote} Drawdown monitoring is very essential for the EA as it is progressing. I have attached a real-time Drawdown monitor (Show me average entry) in my earlier post. You can do it manually if EA doesn't take care of it.
Hey mate, you posted so many feedback. I'm having trouble understanding your essay and choosing which I want to do. (Maybe its because after having a doses of long hour coding)
Could you be more clearer, concise, compact with your posts please?
Thanks

Hi yousername,

the Breakeven-idea must come into play hours before any high impact actually happens. Its nothing more than a attemp to get out of the grid before things getting serious. If activated but breakeven never reached, its up to our own to act.

Having the maximum drawdown gives a better feeling when the EA is traded manually (using lines). Im basing my manual entrys mostly by harmonic pattern. Having the maximum drawndown will help to compare, which patterns/entry might be most profitable without large drawdowns.
Besides, most of us just dont monitor their grids all the time so if i check them once in a while i just get the temporary impression of the drawdown.

Thanks much

DT

Well for the drawdown, I believe you can use FF TE or any other web site TE.
I mean like have several MT4 accounts hence several TE.
Each EA in the MT4 terminals is dedicated to its own strategy (what ever pattern you want to set).
By then you could know which pattern is best for you and the grid.

The breakeven button, I guess I will apply that.

Thanks Dtde, I appreciate it.

As I am very bad at giving a user guide.
I really appreciate for anyone to COMPILE a USER GUIDE for using FlexyGrid.
Just to be fair I made FlexyGrid free of charge, so I expect some one would kindly do a favor for everyone here: making a FlexyGrid user guide for free. Or maybe work together.
That's fair right?

Have a nice day

I noticed if you backtest the EA, regardless what GRID STYLE you select. It will use 101 Grid style.

Maybe try with this update. I changed something, it should fixes the issue above.
