Guys and Gals...I'm missing here in 2019 our master coder FxMadness and... of course our EA creator Magix.

I do remember that FxM was testing a new upcoming EA version (probably in cooperation with Magix) with additional grid filters since October 15th with great success so far. Please look at post #1722 and #1724.

And I'm still eagerly hoping that he was able to make some progress on that matter and he/they are going to provide us with a new version for testing purposes .

Many thanks in advance...

Happy trading, jdva

Hi
Anyone still around and trading with Hybrid?
I am still hopeful and trailing various settings to try and strike a balance building up profit and a hard stop to minimize draw down.
Anyone else with suggestions, always been on 1m, 300 time delay and 5o step, going to try 5m 300t and 100 step but with 8 pairs

I've run some tests with those inputs but they are very aggressive and did not pass survive my back tests.

I am still trading with Hybrid on demo (testing) and I use it live.

8 pairs is quite a lot unless you have sufficient balance to hold the trades when they go into DD.

I think the general idea of using 1 pair pr 500 and 0.01 lot so 500 account 1 pair 0.01 lots 1000= 2pairs 0.01 lot and so on so if you have 2500-3000 start with 5 major pairs....EG.EU.GU.UJ and EJ ore UCHF and you will make some money if we dont get another one of theese in cristmass with 300 drop and another 2-300 in an hour.......

I am demo trading still. Very very happy with my results. A conservative strategy.

300 time delay
75 step
So far 2 pairs. See my trade explorer for results.
I have hybrid start and a several cost averaging methods active.

I had a lovely drawdown the last week on USDCAD and I got a little nervous but the EA kicked in and worked it's magix! I turned off trading on the other chart to ensure I had plenty of margin to fight the drawdown. I like to monitor and intervene manually if must.

I will look to go live maybe in 4-5 months.

That's a great result man, slow and steady wins the race!

Struggling with a 1000 pip drawdown. I would have expected cost averaging to have kicked trades in the opposite direction but not yet! Here's hoping!

Pairs: EURUSD and USDCAD.

So you guys ever close trades manually?

Hmm 1000 DD pips on 2 pairs? Honestly that's not very bad lol.. If you check back a few pages I think I was holding nearly 3000 pips and that was only on 1 pair, live!

For me with this kind of EA being a counter trend EA, and depending on the settings you need to be prepared for having big DD's sometimes, this is why its important to have a large enough account, and enough margin to hold on in such situations.

I also find that having a balanced set of pairs helps, for example you are trading EURUSD and USDCAD, which means 1 X EUR, 1 X CAD, and 2 X USD, so you see if one day USD gets too weak or strong you are over heavily exposed on USD and it could work against you.

Indeed only two pairs and precisely what you said occurred. USD has seen some weakening and both pairs have trended, effectively doubling my drawdown. So I will look at another pair to swap usdcad with to avoid that exposure.

3000 is immense! Sometimes it's better to just not check your trades for a few days, to avoid the stress!

Hi,

I've noticed that two trades were opened outside the primary trigger time. One at 1035hrs and another at 1215hrs. The primary trigger trade start time is set to 1300hrs and end time 23:50.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may have occurred? Could this be cost averaging that will operate Outside the primary trigger times?

Thanks in advance.

Market is trending, with many buys going into the red!
Again, I've cancelled trades on my other chart, to ensure free margin on this one. I'm probably over cautious, but despite having demo'd this system for many months I can't get over the draw-down nerves!

What is your time delay and step order?

For Hybrid I would recommend min 300 time delay and min 100 step order to help spread the grid.

Time delay 300
Step order 75
Daily range 900

Do you think an increase to 100 step would mitigate this?

Have some tried to manually close positions after X amount of DD?... let's say if the pair goes -$300 close all positions and let it start again?
