pipskid,
Yep that's what happened in my case too. If there is strong up trend its taking sell trades and just caught up in huge DD.
Not sure we have to change the settings to take only buy trades on strong up trend.

When i try to enable Auto lots risk % to true and put value of 0.5 i receive Journal error stating that my lotsize is smaller than the broker allowed.. Not sure how to correct this. Maybe this is the reason why GBPUSD does not trade on 1M chart for me.

GBPUSD M1 set file analysis.... Here is how I do my testing and try and optimize. We all know that grid type trading is VERY Dangerous. So how do we minimize risk. Entries should be very good…if entries are good then formation of grids will be better. I try and force less and less entries. This causes a problem that the EA trades very seldom and reduces our profit. To overcome that I use lower timeframe and use auto lot so it trades bigger lots as the balance grows. Following is the analysis on GBPUSD M1, set file is on post 800. My way of testing...
Thanks for your contribution

Here are my trades for the last 2 days on GBPUSD

I have not faced the going against the trend....dont know why but these are the actual trades. Pretty confident on the M1 for this pair..did some testing for USDJPY and might change that as not happy with long term results...will share in a day or so my findings.

In that case stick to 0.01 lots. I am at 0.01 lots and returns are satisfactory. Have had too many accounts blow up because of greed or bad money management...the biggest lesson learnt is patience and LOW RISK.
I spoke to a prop trader who has over 10 million to manage and he said that he never opens a starting trade over 0.1 lots on a 10K account.

I also blew mini accounts three times using grid,so money management and patience are the keys.1-2k per pair is fair with a lot of 0.01 to start with any grid EA.

Min 2K per pair....I am working on a portfolio...so that DD are at different times etc...comment on the 887

would you rather have 1 pairs that generated $300K per month with a chance of 30% drawdown or 3 pairs that generate 100$ each with 10% DD each??? Numbers are the same (profit and DD) just more pairs...

{quote} So would you recommend running just one M15 chart instead of duplicating pairs.
if you have a small budget for sure, and i run default plus cci and wpr on m5 and M15.

You may be right... gBP is taking a shit on me stuck on one side of the trend. It has not made one single Buy order only sell on 5M chart... No trades on M15. I do recall the sellers of this EA telling me to use ONLY M15 charts. Why it works like Magic for Burat I have no idea

You got a great point.. This EA has a bunch of built in Filters, you would think that they should all be turned on right. Let us know what your set file looks like please.

CCI and WPR default gives good results in 15M chart but losses money on 5M.
