Usually this type of Ea's have Max trades = the maximum number of trades which can be opened to one side and Max Lots = the biggest lot size allowed. Once the limit has been reached, the EA keeps opening the highest lots specified, thus limiting the risk.

Parameter for Max Lot size is already there for both engines. We cannot set maximum trades for one side because then we cannot go with flow and floating loss will be out of control. There must be high lot trade near to current price ready to catch retracement.

For limiting the risk, you can add maximum amount in account locking setting. If you are good in manual trading, then you can remove that lock at breakeven or less loss.

Please read the first post, its updated. There are instructions if you want to go live with this at your own risk.

To earn $1000 in few hours, you need to use high risky setting, higher lot size and multi pairs (not recommended at all)

I didn't tried this EA in micro/cent account. Other than grid distance, what changes you made in the setting?

I've tried EA and i think if you use higher time frame it doesn't happen. i use h1 timeframe and there just one or 2 open trades.
just run EA on higher Time frame and see what will happen...

This EA works based on grid distance; selection of time frames doesn't matter at all. I think he had made changes in settings or broker's spread is too high.

Time frame matters for grid system especially on a trending market make big moves. If the currency moves 100 pips in 60 minutes, trading on 5 minutes timeframe, a 100 pips move could mean 12 orders filled, MC an account in an hour very likely, but if trade on 60M chart, only one order is executed.

Dear friend, I am talking about current EA posted in 1st post. Its works same in all TF's. Just back test this with visuals and you will see with your naked eyes.

Yes you are right . i think the problem is because of Grid distance Value.

Couple things to consider, which need to be adaptable to whatever the market is doing at that moment, especially using a GRID/Hedging Strategy.
The biggest drivers of a GRID system are the GRID itself, the TP points, Breakeven device, and of course the hedging aggressiveness. I will do each explanation in the posts that follow.

I have looked over this GRID system previously and won't use it at this time because of this exact reason. I'm an avid hedge trader who has a fairly power device for the manual GRID/ Hedge trading (5% manual - 95% auto), so hopefully my input can help.

Now how can the EA adapt to what I listed above?

Stay Tuned!

You SAID 'Selection of time frame doesn't matter al all'. It matters a LOT and applies to ANY EA system not just Grid system..

The GRID:

Grid systems thrive on price volatility, but when the market trends and trends hard the GRID system will fail time and time again. Hence why the markets refusal to venture down the GRID path. So how then can a GRID system overcome this?

Simple increase the GRID steps, well why not 300, 500, 800 etc? Easy because you would make 10$ a week. So how then can the GRID adapt to the markets movement? One concept is using a low value ATR for determining the percentiles of the market, you would want your GRID to be above the 50th percentile, for example using ATR input of 1. This ensure the GRID is prepared for large price spikes.

For a GRID system to adapt it must look at price movement over time, having a set GRID that can work it must adapt to the markets current conditions. 2 factors which need to be considered when using the GRID, the multiplier and the GRID distance combined. As price moves further away from the entry the GRID must recognize this. ATR's percentiles do just that. By using a low setting on ATR ( I use 1), the ATR will give us an indication of prices aggressiveness. When price moves aggressively against us the Multiplier must drop and the step must be increased until price has reached an area of consolidation. As well the GRID needs to have a number of GRID zones example:

First 7 orders 200
After order 7 GRID drops to 50

Then the TP drops to a low value the idea being the GRID is looking to breakeven. Now that the GRID steps have increased the multiplier lowered and the TP reduced. The GRId has a much higher probability of survival as price moves further against the current price.

This is a very important concept with GRID trading, where after "x" orders the Ea must find away to breakeven. But to take it further joining in on the TREND.

More to come.

"timmy" is somebody who traded grids for years.
but going with the trend with stop orders, but no multipliers or hedging.
his yearly return was between 25-50%, the average being 35%.
he explains how he trades in the thread Piggy in the Middle or something like that for anybody interested.

i think it is better to add minimum gap on this case. dear admin, i hope you can provide me the new version of the ea for improving the engine and lesser drawdown. i have sent you an email from { email address deleted by staff }. i am also a fans of grid ea

could you explain grid distance/multiplier/ATR/TP etc a bit further?
so price is 1.1500: sell 1 lot 1.1500, sell x lot 1.1700, sell y lot 1.1900 etc.?
