My demo ( as per Trade Explorer) is now in a ´little´ DD , since begining of experiment with Xbest V2.2 ,it stayed around less than 5% , now it has reached 15%. So what I did is : a) deactivated EA that is on GBPCHF and AUDJPY ( un-ticking allow live trading). b) Closed gbpchf and audjpy with a small tiny loss of 4 or 5 pips ...few cents loss. c) XTI which moved (down) 210 pips in few hours , seems now to have stabilized , which does NOT mean that it can´t go down further. XTI ea is trading on M30 candle with allow 1 trade per candle to TRUE. I...
Stephan...I think you have managed the sharp drop in XTI Oil very well so far in your TE...! In any case it gives us hope for the entire system!

I also have tried some other instruments like DAX, Gold, Silver on that EAs but without success, hence we should stay on currencies They do provide us with the best risk/reward possibilities...IMHO. Oil may be very volatil sometimes after the release of new API stock reports and CAD as well. However a 3% daily price change on currencies in comparison is very rarely.
Sometimes it seems that the EA has to build up some pressure with the DDs in order to gain further profits afterwards...!

Currently I'm testing RV3.44 on M15 on my basket with engines A+B (lotsize bug?) and filters disabled with good success...

Hey guys,

I'm not sure if this would be helpful for anyone, but I give this same piece of advice to anyone who would listen.
I come from a background of investments in equity, bonds and ETFs.
I have only started dealing with forex algorithms about 2.5 years ago, with decent success.
My view on investments has never changed throughout the years - I firmly believe in the power of a diversified portfolio.

Currencies are no different from other forms of financial instruments - they can be diversified.
I think this is especially important for martingale-based strategies like this one. For anyone who is genuinely interested in taking this live, I would highly recommend that you experiment this with a diversified set of currencies, preferably non-correlated.

When shit hits the fan - the worst case scenario is that you bite the bullet and close the worst performing trades while letting the profits run for the better performing trades.

Of course, every good strategy comes with a consideration of the worst case scenario - which is the black swan event all your currency pairs performing terribly at the exact same period. But think about it - what are the odds of 28 pairs (or 30, if you love gold and silver like I do), performing terribly all at one go? Highly unlikely.

Give this a try guys, it worked for me, I'm sure it will work for you too. Happy to discuss this further for any interested parties.

All the best guys!

To expand on carddard's post. There is real potential here if you hedge your grids. The EA becomes almost ATM'esque which I would say is the holy grail of forex trading. The difficult part is not the grid steps but finding out the perfect time to hedge and detecting breakouts in order to overcome negative grids.

Holds true for Xbest and Mindstorms. You will also want a high leverage trading environment on multiple pairs.

Yes, agree. This is the reason I trade GBPCHF, AUDJPY and XTIUSD ( crude oil) only ..till I build equity to be able to add XAUUSD ....GC and AJ have relatively small ADR too.
Anyway , nice tip. Thank you.

Not so bad for one week...RV3.4 on M15 forward test, one trade per candle, engines A+B and filters disabled, max DD 5,7%, max. margin used 1300€.
But you need patience and perseverance...should be no problem with a well-funded account no matter whether demo or live, a precondition for martingale based EAs!

I've been playing around with the settings.
Having a dynamic grid size seems to work wonders!

I have been spending quite a bit of time analyzing and testing the various versions of this.
Most of the versions have immense potential. And I mean immense potential.
My struggle is, like all grid-based EAs, a significant enough move has the ability to wipe out all of your gains.
Test it long enough and you will know what I mean.
I believe there are 2 ways to mitigate this - ways that I am sure would drastically improve capital protection.
The 1st way is to trade this algorithm in a basket of currencies. The 2nd way is adding an additional method of closing your trades - which would reduce profitability but increase stability.
I went about modifying the code and I will show you guys what I'm alluding to soon.. It's late here now. Imma crash.

Later guys! Trade well!

Yes, agreed with you carddard.
These EAs are making good profit on a daily basis for several days, but all of a sudden if a big move happens, all profits that we have gained for last several days is wiped out. That is what we have to avoid, by doing a proper modification of the EA. Hoping that you will come up with a good solution.
