{quote} @carddard: exactly it should cut the losses bit by bit. Would be great if you have a look at this proposal! Are you able to do the coding?

I think they crux of this is not so much about closing the closest, or furthest trades. The partial hedges could be done with any of the opposite trades logically speaking. I think the biggest question is if this strategy would survive an expanding range.

Is implied volatility ok?Cannot adjust the spacing dynamically, adjust the spacing manually.?

This is what I mean by.. would it survive an expanding range (See image - black dots represent expanding range with above average volatility).
The question remains - if you let the original grid strategy run by itself, how long can it withstand an expanding range? And swap is another problem.

I am looking for the filter volatility index, or the option market trading large time order data to refer to manually opening or closing the consultant, is this feasible?

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you are looking for.
If you're looking for a volatility indicator, try this one:

The price fluctuates up and down Beyond the average premium will return, but no premium, prices tend towards a direction to move forward, this time is our explosion, I can't find such a tool, but the options market implied volatility can push premium formula.But I can't find it.
gd morning,
@ rodolfolm, according xBest EA
as i wrote before, i change the signal (to avoid bigger loses)
my idea in case the EA open a sell order but the trend turnīs, is it possible to close the last last sell order when the EA open a buy order?
regards
Ehonk

The test account I feel is always profitable, the real account is hard to say.Their explanation is "network", "setting", "server", and so on.So 3--4 points, it's easy to steal.

If you get a string of successive losses it could mean only trouble

Forward-testing is better than back-testing, and live-testing is better than forward-testing
{quote} BAU = Business As Usual, meaning you use whichever grid strategy that does well in range times. In our case let's take xBest as an example. I plug a grid strategy into XAUUSD. During range times, I profit with my BAU strategy (grid) - note that BAU can be either grid or trend, depending on how you want to play this. When s*** hits the fan - you define what *** is - in my case, I set it as: when DD >= 5% of account balance As a proof on concept, look at this image i have attached. The black dots are periods where s*** has hit the fan. Of...

Thanks for sharing this graph. I have no clue on the time span it represents, but for sure it is +/-20% return with a DD +/- 10% , so , a "boner" for grid traders as
R:R is 1:2 . Trading 2 or 3 selected pairs or commodities ( or even Indexes) diversifying would sure be the way to go. Subscribed to you.

I think it was for about a month or less. But please don't be deceived - over a longer term I'm sure we could expect more ripples. My view on this is that gold is hell of a monster. So a strategy that doesn't survive gold is not much of a strategy for me. I agree with you on diversification. That will be my next focus once I have fully conceptualized this piece.
My demo ( as per Trade Explorer) is now in a īlittleī 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 canīt go down further. XTI ea is trading on M30 candle with allow 1 trade per candle to TRUE. I...

Learn from you, 4 hours 58 line is above, I trade 15 minutes, appear a deal should be BUY, same 4 hours 58 offline side, trade 15 minutes, appear a deal because should be SELL?
Question for all..
When s*** hits the fan.. Do you think it is better to hedge and continue running the usual engines, until breakeven is hit, or hedge while shutting down the usual engines?

yes, I'll see if I implement it in the next version.
