Hi gridfxtrader
I'm new in FF and I'm following your work with 2 grids buy and sell.
If I understand, when a grid is winning, currently you re-open the grid manually ?
You need be in front of your computer permanently ?
So I agree with you an automatic re-open by the EA.
I think that yousername is able to do that easily.
Thanks for him.

I reopen a new grid after the grid profit target is reached. I don't have a set schedule for checking the grids (usually in the evenings - CST). Automatic reentry would be a great feature to have. Other members have said the same thing so hopefully the thread creator will add it.
Yes but in automatic there is a re-open function with Grid limit per day=0 (infinite) no in manual

I saw that in the inputs, but thought that it was related to the grid trading with horizontal line crossing set to true. What you stated I set to 0 to see if the EA will automatically reopen. Not sure if the EA knows if it is a buy or sell grid and don't see where that can be selected.
Hi gridfxtrader
I tried your method with 2 charts and 2 EA (one buy only and one sell only)
but if you have a winning on a chart you have a loss on another !!! if R/R is the same
Could you explain again your system ?
Thx.

That is most certainly the case or you can have both grids losing at the same time (see below). You simply have to let it play out. Open a new grid when the take profit is reached and keep doing this (rinse & repeat). Either your account is going to grow or you are going to reach your max drawdown (you decide what % of pain you can stand). EA settings are below and are the same for both grids with the exception of the magic number.
@gridfxtrader - I've just found this thread, and I'm very intrigued with this strategy, and would like to thank you for your input - very encouraging. One question though: you appear to be using V1.9; is there a reason you've stuck to this version instead of using the later versions?

I just happened to download that version at the time so I stuck with it. The EA has closed all the trades on my hedge account when profit target is reached unlike my 2 separate accounts were it would leave some stragglers.

notes: Computer restarted late last night so I will be carrying over open grids through the weekend. Need to figure out how to configure windows so this doesn't happen again. Any suggestions?

Set your connection in the Control Panel to 'Metered'. This stops Windows from automatically downloading and installing updates. You can then switch this off at the weekend and download and apply any updates that are outstanding at your convenience.

Friends! It is very unfortunate, however, the results of the trade gridfxtrader are accidental.
I traded on this pair, with similar settings and constantly turned on the grid when it stopped (as a automatic trading).
Result: Drawdown on the account of -28% (max. 20 orders) !!!
The grid can easily not reach the minimum profit and continue to "stretch" ..... in both directions.
Last week there was recoilless upward movement, then down .... in both directions a lot of orders were not closed .... -28% drawdown.
I just want to warn the others from delusions ... and false illusions! I hope for your understanding.
