I did not read anything on this tread, except the name. My friend 'okshop' posts here and this drag my attention. Being doing grid EAs 3 years in a row. During the last year I have abandoned all grids. But that is not important. During the last months, i have decided to experiment, just for fun, with my old grid EAs. I want to share the basics here. This might save you some years of research or eventually just trow your EA in the bin?!? The grid EAs became nice performers, when I set the multiplier to x1.10 or x1.15. Individual trade TP of 400+...

{quote} Thanks for the update my dear friend & I 1001% agree with you. Love that you share your experience and save all of us from going to hell lol. This grid ea will be the ultimate EA as it represents the number 1 killer (physiological approach to trading) I am using this EA more as a Personal Assistant to managed my trade with a set TP & SL No multiplier involved and minimum grid (future development is to identify high profile target) btw I love you pervious tips on using zig zag {image}

{quote} LOL, sure you will be able to set the breakeven value to your own liking. You will be able to set it in the EA's properties. Here's a layman logic of the Breakeven logic. 1. Grid opened 2. You clicked the breakeven button to green 3. The grid only has 1 opened position at start 4. Further down the line the market executed some of your pending orders. 5. when you have >=2 order gets executed + breakeven button is green = BREAKEVEN function starts working. You will also be able to set the breakeven function will be run there are >=X active...

{quote} #1 and #2 are challenging. I think i dont want to waste so much time on it. If any one is willing to take the challenge or provide a method for #1 and #2 then I guess we all will be happier. Let me know if anyone is interested, I'll tell you what the main issue is. Anyhow I will go ahead adding more feature into the EA as the following - BREAK EVEN button - Add additional feature on the USE LINES

{quote} 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 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

{quote} {quote} {quote} At the Breakeven button trigger doesn't stop the automatic trade yet because I want to place my focus to MANUAL trading mode before we go FULLY AUTOMATION I also applied some cosmetic changes 1. The MANUAL and AUTOMATIC button stays green because there's no need for it to change color to red. You can tell it's manual and automatic by seeing the BUY/SELL/CLOSE button. When you see those 3 buttons then, it's a MANUAL mode. 2. I removed TRADING WITH LINE and TRADING STYLE out of the grid info (top right corner) Any how here...

{quote} I just notice there was bug in the BREAK EVEN button. Somehow the switch didn't work. Fix {file} I think I will modify the BREAK EVEN further by adding additional break even trigger using PIPS or AMOUNT. The Break even will start functioning when X PIPS/AMOUNT has been reached. <<<< That will be the next update to V1.9 probably tomorrow

Hi, I worked on EAs for many years, most important things you need to keep in mind Specially with Grid Trading EAs: 1- Your Broker's Execution Slippage 2- Your Broker's Spreads all EAs made good profit in the backtest from the big moves, and in big moves all Brokers make the spreads higher and you will have big slippage. because that, there are millions of EAs work crazy in the backtest but on live account they dead.
