Grid is good

Feel free to share you thougths, if you're a grid EA enthusiast, successfully running your own EA(s).
This one was coded a few years back by a friend of mine, based on my idea for a simple stoch cross trigger. Plenty of similar ones on this forum.
No matter the trigger, the recipe is simple and universal for grids: go with the trend, and don't get caught in a runaway market.

Easier said than done, right? The first time I touched it, I knew next to nothing about trading, but got very excited by the idea of making money while I sleep (obviously). Result? It doubled a demo in a month, and then blew a £3k live account in a couple of weeks. A very cold shower indeed.
So I ditched EAs and focused on honing my trading skills instead.
Call it a second chance. A bit older for sure, not sure if any wiser, though. Let's see if the two worlds can marry after all.

A new month has just started. What's the road map as far as potential buys and sells, based on the monthly charts? Here's my take; subject to change at any time, of course.

BUY (swap +/-)
AN (-)
EN (-)
EU (-)
GA (-)
GC (-)
GF (+)
GJ (-)
GN (-)
GU (-)
GOLD (-)

SELL (swap +/-)
EG (+)
UC (-)
UF (-)

As the month progresses, drilling down to the weekly and daily, I'll be looking for a good moment to join the ride.
An ideal situation is to catch a fresh daily swing and stay with it as long as possible, provided that the swaps are positive in the desired direction. Otherwise, and actually most of the time so far, I just set up two most promising charts after a new day started, and aim to be out before the end of the day.
This month, GF and EG might be good candidates for longer rides.

I'm waiting patiently for an update.....
I don't grid I like a tight SL ( no 1 gold personal rule) , but I'm interested in other systems and how they work for others..

Hi H,
Sorry, missed your post. That one turned out to be a waste of time. Made about 15% before the equity protection kicked in, lol. Thankfully, no dent in the deposit, but I was clearly reminded not to touch grids again. Moved on to basket trading, with much better results.
