{quote} Filter?
I have a filter in place that keeps trades from entering multiple times within a single candle.

This means if it's a 300 pip candle, I will only have just 1 trade placed. This really protects me from those flash moves if and when they happen. It also changes my grid based on the volatility of the market. My grid automatically widens during high market volatility and tightens during low market volatility. It's an adaptable grid. Just one of my few filters trading the system

It seems as if this does happen, the 50 pip take profit target is no longer applicable, am i correct?


Also, how are Grid Levels not activated or entered every 20 pips before a 300 pip candle is even reached?

No, the 50 pip target is still in place if the grid happens to widen because of volatility.

This was how I had my EA coded. This is one reasons why I feel a good portion of ALL trading in the NEAR future will be artificial intelligence. AI and technology can do things we just can't. I don't think AI will completely take over trading but I do think it will be a very powerful tool in tandem.

I spoke with one of the head guys over at one of the largest banks in the US and it sounds like AI trading is becoming much more of a thing in the industry. The future of trading is changing.

I'm assuming the only logical thing is to block trades within a 5-10 second period as it reaches that quick 300 pip mark ?

EUR/GBP H1 Long Trade.

Looks like Long Positions are being built???

I'm going to stay clear of CAD until it settles down and things become more clear once again.

Well, I can't tell you everything.

You can do this filter multiple ways. Some options are complicated. Some are not. You know how I work things here... I tell you want I do. You guys then need to figure out how to build it.

When you figure out how to build it, only then will you truly know how to use it.

I was considering waiting things out as well but when you take that 350 pip drop into consideration with not much if any pullback, I'm not too shy to jump in. I still think a pullback is coming and it could be 100+ pips. It's very possible the GBPCAD could push a bit lower because of the late comers in the next 24 hours though...

I guess it's just a personal thing I've never felt comfortable Trading around such large candles.

Good and unique initiative Cubby.
I like your out of the box way of thinking and your loss recovery system as well.
Have you ever heard about loss recovery systems based on hedging systems like this https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/16061
I think they are more dangerous than your system.

{quote} Yes, each trade will get knocked out one at a time. Each one will hit you at about -5% of your total account if you're using my risk settings. I'm just about to implement a 6% loss cutt-off on all my OANDA accounts and a 20% cut-off on my other accounts to help protect from something like an event today. Still, negative slippage would have been a problem even with a % cut-off here. These kinds of events happen and I also see the potential issues. This is why I use the small risk I do and read up on the news. Sometimes we have flash...

So as I thought about this.....
it seems as if once the first 500 pip SL is hit the entire grid should close since it's -5% and the second part I don't understand is the grid level entries beyond that being close in loss amounts which maybe higher than the overall -5%.

This is something I'm sure I'm not the only one confused about.

Today's video.

Today's video may be one of my last. I'm still in a continued battle with online trolls. These trolls really try to make my feel uncomfortable sharing content here on FF and on youtube. I know I've taken content breaks before but I think it may be time to end my online presence out of safety for myself and my trading. I will make my final decision in a video update this coming Monday.

I'm sorry for those that enjoy what I share but I think you will understand that if I do this, it's out of my own safety. I share too much. More than what most share in the trading world which leaves me prone to internet harm.

Hi Ryan, I understand your arguments. But I also think, you have a considerable number of loyal followers, including me - maybe you should consider to continue with your videos, but open them only to a selected community.

Ryan,
would be bad to see you stop the videos, i for one enjoy watching your progress with the accounts, and to get to see/feel the emotional and mental aspects beyond a trading system.
may or may not a less frequent, like weekly update would be a way, or to create a private viewing option for some.

i am fully with you that apart from maybe 1-2 chosen friends you want to mentor, there is just no need and frankly no way to try to explain down to the very smallest details the trading.
if some trolls you because of that, best to find an ignore solution.

but if that ultimately means you stop your videos/postings completely, it is ultimately your decision to make too, and will respect/support whatever you decide.
there is always, always another trade!!

sucks to see you leave. you're one of few people who actually shares their day to day trading life. I think we need more of those cause it actually counters a lot of fake ones or trolls in the forum.

I think you can still share videos..why not just turn off the comments ? I do that personally on my videos cause of the trolls and also i don't want solicitation from the sexy ladies. Also maybe just share just ONE account instead of hte many accounts.. i'm very interested to learn about your progress with Maverick since it was on my radar years ago.

Hi Ryan,

Personally I don't see what harm the odd Troll can do.

You have been completely open about your Trading and so it speaks for its self.

If you cut yourself off completely from FF and your Youtube Channel they will have gotten exactly what they want.

@uck "em is what I say and carry on as you where.

But I will, of course, respect any decision you come to.
