{quote} Mybe two week not enough for FT this EA
Once EA will survive spike of 200+ pips on demo account, I will go live. As you are coder of this EA, what will be the best setting to survive such spikes and not too harmful for ranging as well. Means ideal for both ranging and volatile market.

Hi mrgmrg,

In some EA's, we have to enter spread in pips and in other, it should be in points.

In your EA setting, we need to enter spread in pips or points? For example, if my broker's spread is 1.6 pips, should I enter 1.6 or 16? Please clarify. Thanks in advance

Must be something wrong with my history data.
Only 2% drawdown? Must be something wrong with history data. But I am wondering, no other Grid / Martingale / Semi Martingale EA survive on the same data for 1 year even. {image} {image}
As I mentioned in my previous post, there was something wrong.

Thanks to Mr. stefdek , I came to know that MT4 tester use points (and not pips). Did my testing again with actual spread (1.7 pips = 17 Points). Results are looking close to realistic now

From Jan 1, 2015 till April 6, 2018.
Initial deposit 3000 $ (Standard account - Leverage 1:500)
USDJPY - Time frame 15M
Default Setting Except
Spread 1.7 pips
Auto lot False
Lot 0.10
Alert False

14% drawdown
Net Profit 9967 $

Why don't you use the term 'averaging down' instead?

Nice trading system btw.

All back tests with 90% modelling quality are far away from tru. Just don't waste your time and download good tick data and you will see different. Back test 99% modelling quality and this Ea most of the time wipe your account or don't make any profit with high dd.

Thanks dear. I have stop back testing, rather i will test this on VPS for months maybe. Backtesting (even 99.9% modeling) cannot provide actual trade results. It can only give you a glimpse.

Backtest with Q99 guarantees the results are appropriate?
Backtest Q90 is not good?
About BT with Q99 already covered on page 13-17 this forum.
BT is only as an optimized guideline.
For example Forward test (FT) 2 weeks and then BT with Q99 and History standard, which one is most suitable?
in FT, other brokers the results can be different.
Data downloaded Q99 or Q25, not necessarily in accordance with the data from the broker.

So, BT just as a guide only.
Btw please use the most appropriate way.

What is your plan for EA?.
Are you going to release some versions for those who want to play live? and I'm not talking about the version with the expiry date, but the version that will work on the live account all the time. If you do not intend to make it available without time limit, what is your purpose ?, Many people participate in this forum, but no one knows if it's worth it. Nobody will waste time on a project that will never be used by him in the real world. Everyone understands that you had to put in a lot of work and time and that this is a project that is still under construction, but please specify what are your plans ?.

One way to make the ea safer would be to implement some kind of hedging function when things start to go wrong. Some martingale ea's start to allow trades to the trend direction after a certain point and use the profits to close the losing trades at BE. Some ea's also use the profits of the most recent mg trades to close the oldest trades at BE. Using both could prove to be successful.

In any case, adding unlimited trades to the losing side will kill any mg ea. However, with this ea you can already limit the Max lots, the number of open positions and the mg multiplier. Limiting the trading hours can also be used to lower the dd as well as using a higher Signal_level.

Get the 99% backtesting tickdata and start to optimize the ea and you should be able to find some good settings but I also think a hedging function would be needed. An equity TP function would be useful.

Here is my multipair demo ft with the ea version 1.04: https://www.fxblue.com/users/afxmmg

I have 3 real Accounts with this EA.
Account 1 with 1500€ Crash.
Account 2 with 1000€ Crash.
Account 3 with 750€ go down to 250€ because margin Call. And have many Trades open, and have Rest 60€ equity.
So the BT look nice. But Real world is other World.
If this Crash too. I will not spend more real money. It's too expensive for me. Now it is your turn, to test with real money.

I use only 1 pair for 1 Account. I use Account 1 with EURUSD. M1, and the Signal 0 Set from mrgmrg. Some pages before here.
Account 2 is with EURJPY, and same Set from Account 1.
Account 3 is with default set.
Broker Pepperstone, and with Razer/zero Accounts. Spread 0-0.4 and with Commission.
What I not understand is, why he open 3-5 trades at the same time ? Why not only 1 trade ? And the next open trade with more space from first trade ? For example every 50 points. This is better with Martingal. This is better for survival the account. It is not logic to open 30 trades and this in a range from example 40 points. What is, if the course go down and down ? You see your account and can do nothing. With small Budget Account you can not open more Trades, because not enough margin. You have only 2 Option, the course go up and have luck, or the course go deeper and will Crash. My mind is not ok, that he open so many Trades at same position, and not so close each Trades. It will be nice, if i have the option, how many trades i will open at same time, and reopen the next trade in points.
I dont know I you understand me, because I translate it.

Try Signal level 6 with H1. Signal level 0 is way too risky. You also have the option to limit the number of trades.

Thanks for sharing. Your initial deposit is way too high. Try with realistic amount of 3000 to 5000 $.

If you tried on micro account with 10k deposit then return is very low. Only 160+ bucks
