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?
instead of closing all floating trades,the EA could open high lot hedging trade ?

Little update from my drawdown the other week. EA has pulled through and worked it's cost averaging, green pips overall! Amazing. I'm sure many people are bored by this slow growth, but this suits my investment and trading strategy!

How are all you others getting on. ?

Nicely done mate, you see I told you to trust in Hybrid!

Things are churning along nicely for me as well on my new demo TE's.

On the live trading I am holding down some DD on GU. Hybrid got caught on the wrong side of the GU bull run this week and its down around -1000 pips, but I'm confident that it will do its thing and come back like it always does.

Hi Everyone,

Well an update here ...... all was going well until the last week or two. Was a nice steady performer but took a turn and I should have closed out and reset instead of letting things go. I did close out twice however it was generally to late!

Been running on mrdfx settings but I did increase the lot sizes up a little which does pay off in on the profit side but then also kicks you in the a** on the drawdown side.

Money management is the key and a bit of luck also. Between the two accounts I was $1600.00 up do couldnt complain about that but then that got taken and more in a very short amount of time! Live and learn I guess.

Thanks for sharing.

Mind me asking a couple questions?

1. What lot size were you using?
2. How many charts was this attached to?
3. Can you just confirm your step order ?
4. Which cost averaging methods do you have active?

Yes you certainly did! -1000 pips is nothing now ha ha..

I'm sure it will pull out of it just fine!

Hi Johnsmith2nd,

Started with 0.01 lot then progressed to 0.02 lot. On both accounts there was one pair I made 0.03 lots as it was doing well so pushed the boundry a bit and of course that was the pair that caused the latest big DD. After the AUDUSD DD the accounts were ok, basically back to where I started and then the latest DD happened. I could have kept it all going but dont want to get into a situation where you loose everything. What I should have done was when i was $1600 up, maybe withdrawn that, reset the lot sizes and started again. This latest DD wouldnt have been as bad but you definitely learn the hard way!

Was running 4 pairs on both accounts and then added AUDUSD which turned bad so closed out and got rid of that.

I have attached screenshot of the settings. I would be interested to know what pairs everyone is using? Mine are GBPUSD, EURJPY, EURGBP, GBPJPY. I think that needs some tweaking as they are all a bit close and interconnected.

Incidently I am running two demos, both with same settings however one has Summ Start. Fixed lot is currently in large DD but Summ Start has made money and is basically all closed out. You need deeper pockets but it does seem to help you out a lot better on the pullbacks when its in a trend.

Thanks, Matt.

Interesting thanks. Depends on your risk aptetapp I suppose. You could have a rule where you withdraw each time you hit $1600 I suppose...
I took mrdfx's advice and insteai of increasing lots I will add a new pair instead so effectively doubling my lots yet diversifying exposure to that currency. You can simple Google and find statistics of the most uncorrelated currency pairs and attempt that.

I trade EURUSD and GBPJPY so far. GBPJPY had had one trade cycle in almost 2 weeks so had a lot less activity than say EURUSD, but I'm playing it safe. I am curious about summ start lots and if this is manageable.

Ah Hybrid you beaut!

From over -1000 pips in DD to -80 pips!

I trusted that Hybrid would do its things and it did, only needed patience and not to interfere.

Hi Mrdfx,

I see you are using 30m charts? Have you gone away from the 5m charts as previous?

Thanks, Matt.

Hi mightymatt I am still trading on M1 & M5 as you can see in my TE.

I only used the M30 chart for the screenshot to zoom out and show all the trades that Hybrid had done.

I see this thread is kind of winding down now, but I've got to chip in and say how watching this thing carry out its trades has made me a better trader.

Reading through the posts here, toying with the options and having some patience when trades go against me - they've all made me a much better trader!

Thanks for everything thread. You've helped me more than I ever could have imagined.

Hey guys just checking in. Who is still trading Hybrid live or demo?

Hybrid is going still strong for me and one of my favorite EA's.

I will say that I am no longer trading Hybrid 1.3c and I am only using Hybrid 1.2. Hybrid 1.3c did not do well in any of my back tests and in the time I was running it on live it was an aggressive bugger and loved to pick up DD so I moved back to Hybrid 1.2 and things have been smooth sailing since.

Maybe I just couldn't find a proper settings for v1.3c but v1.2 works like a machine bringing on the pips while keeping a low DD.

Anyway keen to see who else is still trading Hybrid here.

@Magix we have not heard from you for a long time mate, I hope you and your family is well and I look forward to seeing you back for the next crazy journey!

Yes, Buddy...I'm still demoing Hybrid 1.3c with good success as you may see on my TE. Currently I've interrupted trading because of going on vacations on Friday till the beginning of April and will continue after comeback. I'm planning to go live when the Brexit mess is over...hopefully soon.
Atm I'm trading 7 pairs 24/5 on M1...EU, EJ, EN, AJ, GJ, GU and GA ... started since then on a 25k€ account. Max DD was around 12%, relative a bit higher about 3.5k in absolute money. Margin usage has never been a problem.
Of course I'm also missing Magix and hoping he is well and moreover FxMadness who has much contributed here in the past! Looking forward to seeing them back soon...!

Happy trading, jdva

Hi Mrdfx,

i put it on hold after my large loss on my live account and have been doing some more testing since on demo but like you say it is a little aggressive. You can make some good gains but the DD can be large and there comes that time when you decide to cut and save the account or see what happens!

Didnt realise you were using 1.2 so I’ll see if I still have it and will put that back on live. Like you say slow and steady wins the race but overall it’s a great EA.

Hi Mrdfx,

the 1.2 version that I have is RMHC Hybrid 1.2. Is this what you are referring to? Or Hybrid Sessions 1.2? If it’s Hybrid Sessions 1.2 I don’t think I have it, only have 1c so might grab a copy if that’s ok?

Thanks, Matt

Yes I am referring to RMHC Hybrid 1.2.

So far out of all the Hybrid version this is the only one I trust trading live.

I too am still demo'ing until Brexit is done before I go live.
I had a great month in January, but Feb and March haven't been great. Very few trades, despite adding a new pair GBPUSD 2 weeks ago, it's only taken 1 trade in that time.
I am still happy with it, and it's survived some serious movements ! Still only 20% drawdown which is very manageable.

Hi Mrdfx,

Thanks for your help. I have loaded 1.2 with what I think is the settings I had from sessions ..... Could you take a look and see if I am on the right track as they are a little different from sessions. Im running on a 5m chart.

Thanks, Matt.
