{quote} Hello mrgmrg, could you explain how the dd lock balanced option works, please? what parameters to use and how/when the cycle is closed please?
Hi FG
He he he I almost forgot about this.

For example:
1. Action_if_OverDD = DD_Lock_Balance
2. Max_DD_Percent = 40
3. DD_Percent_start = 10
4. DD_Percent = 2
5. DD_max_occurs = 5
How does it work?
a. If DD> 10% then hedging transaction with lotsize 2%
b. Transactions on point a will recur every increase in DD 2% (max 5X), in the hope that prices will return and close all. But if it reaches DD> 40, a balanced Hedging and EA stop will be performed (such as pressing the Lock_Bal button) and the subsequent settlement manually.
But I don't think this is good.

** Another thing, try with low risk, using Marting_Multiplication = 100 ==> Work, each marting transaction uses Margin_percent lotsize (smaller)

To reduce DD, maybe at V1_10_1 already available OP only follows the trend, additional Multiple pause functions, additional functions Minimum Candle length on larger TF, etc.

Max_DD_Percent how does it relate to the Max_DD_Percent option? from your explanation seems not related at all

Is It good pair?
Experience? Advice?

Strange, but this happened. GU Sell, the second transaction at a price lower than the first transaction.
This happened because of widening spreads on the second transaction.

Tips to accelerate growth if you are monitoring trade.
The following example is EJ today
Grid Repeat
a. Grid 1 occurs 2 times
b. Grid 2 occurs 5 times

1. In Grid 1, the price goes down and profits, then the price will go up then close manually. then Grid 1 transaction appears again.
2. In Grid 2, it occurs 5 times as in Grid 1.
In this way, it will accelerate growth, especially if it occurs on Grid 6 or higher, because the lotsize is already large.
This case can be done automatically as post # 3.871: https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...3#post12143103

Hi Elliot
Thank you

1. Better increase due to market conditions that are in accordance with EA performance, still using the same setfile
2. About 4 hours ago I changed Marting_Multiplication to 33, 32 and 32 (EU, GU, EJ)
3. I have added 4 Auto Pair (GU, UJ, AU) HR 33 files following the trend (Live test V1_10_1), so GU has two Auto charts.
4. Other stories, Lol, other accounts that I didn't share, today rose by around 60% due to an error in the Margin_Percent parameter, meaning 0.055 but I mistakenly filled 0.55 for 5 pairs. Due to market up-down conditions, this is profitable. But this is not good and now I return to normal MM.

There is no transaction because:
1. Grid_Pause = 2
2. Grid_Release = 6
After the second Grid transaction, there is no transaction until it reaches the 6th Grid (Grids 3, 4, 5 in pause mode).
When will the 4th, 5th, 6th transaction occur?
If the transaction is 6 or more and the price goes down again, it will be a Grid 5 transaction, then Grid 4, then Grid 3 (But maybe before reaching Grid 3, it's already closed all)

A suggestion for the Pause option which I believe it can improve DD and speed up recovery is to use a "dynamic" release to be used only when the market shows signs of reversal instead of a fixed release (level 6 of the grid as it is in your example). Let's take this example: you open a 0.10 buy trade on EURUSD at 1.13500 (to simplify the calcs let's assume the value of 1 pip is 1 USD) and you have a grid set at 10 pips but the market goes against you for 50 pips in the next few hours with no significant pullbacks. With the current settings (pause 2, release 6) you will have 3 buy trades open (the original trade + 2 recovery trades) for a DD of 220 USD (50 from the original trade, 80 from the first recovery trade, 90 from the second recovery trade). The BE point would be around 1.1337 so 37 pips from the current price of 1.13000. Now let's assume you pause the grid right after the first trade and you release it only after the price reverses in the right direction by one level of the grid (btw this can be made a customizable parameterm it can be 1 level, 2 levels etc.). At 1.13000 you will have only 50 USD in DD and the EA will open trades only if the price goes up again. So if the price will go up to 1.131 the first recovery trade will be opened at 0.05 lot size and the BE price will be around 1.1317 so only 7 pips from the current price of 1.131. If the price keeps going up to 1.1325 you will have 3 trades open and a profit of 70 USD (excluding spread and comission) so for me it looks like a far better option.
The downside is when the market moves in zig zag there will be a number of trades open everytime it goes up to the next level of the grid and then falls down again. So in the same example if the price will go down 20 pips then up 10 pips then down again 30 pips then up 10 pips etc. you will have a larger number of trades open. Anyway I think it worth a try, it definitely works great in case of big price moves against you.

Hi Len

It's possible that this can happen, depending on the parameters used, but if both of them are with Default parameters, it's impossible. Except for widening extreme Spreads.

Are you sure both with Reversal = true?
If yes, Sell orders with prices above the upper Bands, while Buy orders are prices below the lower Bands.

But it's okay, this case needs to be investigated so that EA's performance is as expected.
Send me the setfile that you are using and if possible, screen shoot both.

Hi Trancemitter

Thank you for your input.
These conditions sometimes I do pause and release by pressing the Pause / Release button.
I know it will be better if done by Auto, need to detect that the market is back
In the next version there has been Multiple Grid_Pause, but Release does not include seeing market conditions.
I will try to explore to add this option.
