Best to use the Holiday entries I reckon. Though as most people are saying out there that grid systems are NOT a set-and-forget system.

I read somewhere that pro version of Blessing turn off trading on fridays and during slow period and before news.

Is it correct?

I remember it has more customizable parameters. I'm actually interested in it but I'm not sure if it includes the source file.

For now on gold, today I have stopped the ea.

I will stick to 0.01 lot and make break even to 4 instead of 9.

Nope. You need an MT5 specific EA. And the Blessing EA version we have is already EOL (End-Of-Life) meaning there is no support nor upgrade for it.

i think there is a compiler that take MT4 codes to MT5. I think Programmers Should be able to help out.

I was looking around for actual reviews of Blessings on "live" and found the following (see screenshot).

The 1st Reviewer seemed like he had done it correctly and conservatively and even just used the "free" set and with ample margin for a micro lot. And grown it to 26.58%. I've downloaded the set file and did a case study and ran a backtest from Oct 2014 to Oct 2017 (when he posted his review) and my result was very close but a bit short - I used 3 pip spread but I reckon his broker is giving 2.5/2.6 spread. So in the following assumption that the reviewer is indeed a "live" user (and not a paid poster), the backtests coincides (more or less) with his actual live results.

2nd and 3rd reviewers didn't provide much details on why they failed - setfiles, spread, etc. So impossible to really determine on why it failed for them.

4th reviewer - Starting a $200 margin is a red flag for a grid trading. Totally opposite of the 1st reviewer where you need ample margin for DDs.

Attached. Though warning it has larger gross DD than net profit so it needs a larger margin. The one I created before offers a bit lower profit but much much lower DD. So choose your poison (see attached backtest result).

On gold if lot size was 0.01 to 3000 then current drawdown would have been much better and closed. But closing during big news event is much safer option.

I did change and posted the new lot size set file on opening page. but I didnt change on my end. Anyways, one lesson learnt.

Blessing is still very good. I want to see if i can incorporate closing before Red News Items.

Profit earned is wiped out.

One EU sale order on on my end.

Still believe Blessing is one decent EA, if right money management is applied, can be set & leave kind of set up.

So here goes a test live with a 96K account. Will start small using only EU and GU. At the end of the month will give an update. The backtests match with the cdsaa, but live is live and there is a difference. Thanks for the great work cdsaa. You seem like you are on your way. Wish you the best of luck
@tgdrela1

for that amount, which broker are you using. Do they provide good spreads & latency.

It is very decent! Unlike most EAs out there. However, I believe it can be much much better. The beauty of Blessing is also its downfall - the plethora of customization of parameters. So taking good chunks of subroutines from Blessing and incorporating it into a new EA, adding filters which are not in Blessing, and making the common parameters shared among the setfiles into a fixed ones instead would make a better EA.

lets also look at converting this into jforex - java

ah Java. It is nice but it has been what...10 or 12 years since I last touched a Java code. Now the framework has evolved into something alien to me like React, Angular, Spring, etc. As a software engineer, I used to learn those things and keep up with the tech with passion, until recently companies began outsourcing development work to "cheap" countries.

Will jforex be a "trend"? 8 years ago MT4 suddenly became a trend. But they said MT5 will soon take over in a couple of years, and NT would compete against it. Fast forward today, there is still little sign of MT4 dying. Quite honestly, I've just started to learn MT4 2 months ago and was convinced to do it because almost every broker I check out has MT4.

mt4 is still more used platform.

but once something is good, better to go to more reliable broker or bank. Dukascopy is a stable bank.

jforex is not used by all.
mt4 is ok. Let’s do some of those changes on mt4

Some of you have been asking me about 99.9% Modeling Quality, How do I test it.

I have paid version of Tick Data Suite. Which allows me to download Tick Data and allows me to factor Different Leverage, variable spread, commission, & overnight swap rates.

I have found this useful for my style. It allows me to test various strategies, and results are reasonably good even in live, when it goes through that quality as mentioned above.

If you want to play around to get 99% modeling quality - try Birt Tick Data manually enabling it - it is a process. There are few threads in here which provide guidance on it. - Ofcourse that would be free. - it wont give variable spread and other mentioned above. -

Those variables given above, would make difference in the results.
