{quote} Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. Re the step increase to 200. In your experience, do you find that it takes a lot longer to cancel out and cost average a bad trade, given the larger steps?
Having a 20 pip step maybe takes longer in some situations, but it is safer in keeping margin and DD low and with a grid type EA keeping margin safe is paramount.

I don't mind waiting a bit longer for orders to close out if it means that my margin and balance are safer and having lower a DD.

I think I'm almost ready to move on from grid EAs (though 1.2 is still entertaining) but I'm interested in trying some of the other settings in Hybrid Stochs. Sadly I cannot as it has expired.

I'm even more interested in getting the code that handles the offsetting.

If FXM doesn't return I propose we pool our strengths (and cash) and have something proper done up.

Hi Everyone,

Just a bit of an update. All things seem to be ticking along nicely and now that we are towards the end of the brexit saga I think I might bring GBPUSD back into the mix.
I was trading it up until the last Brexit deadline (an know I shouldn't have) and this is what caused the loss in the account that you can see. It went into a reasonable DD and given the circumstances I didnt want to leave it on so closed the trades at a loss and took that pair off. Had I waited a few more days, it actually pulled back and I would have made a nice gain from it but it also could have blown up the account too so didnt want that. You live and learn and thats what happens when you do stuff that you know you probably shouldnt

Anyway I will probably add that pair back in soon since the Brexit stuff is coming to a close as GBPUSD does bring in some nice profits.

I have just recouped all the loses I made with trading into Brexit so cant complain about that really and still have a nice gain considering the account only started last June. I have also withdrawn most of my initial deposit so really sitting on freeish money at present.

Hope everyone else is doing well too

Great results there! Are you using 200 Step setting? So far so slow, but consistent. This is only 2 weeks of trading, two pairs Eur/Jpy and Gbp/Usd. I took Mrdfx's advice and changed my Step from 75 to 200 and a lower take profit. So i'm curious to see how it progresses over time. So far the drawdown has been 11%, that was a 1000 Pip change on the Eur/Jpy the last week, but this has since recovered and cost averaged through.

Keen to see other results from any lurkers!?

Covid-19... Oil slumped to almost 2016 levels have caused currency to spike! I'm in heavy drawdown despite a conservative strategy.
If hybrid + these settings can pull out of this, it can be traded during any crisis! (yes I tested it during Brexit and it survived!).

I have no doubt that Hybrid will pull through and recover with profit.

Hey guys its been a while, but I wanted to share some very sad news.

I heard from FxMadness' wife that he passed away last month, he had not been well for a while. It is sad news as he was a really great guy that shared a lot of his time to help us. He will be missed.

R.I.P.

I have contacted Magix via email and Skype numerous times and he has also not been around for a long time. I really hope he is doing ok and returns soon.

Very sad news. Only just checked in on this thread.

I hope his legacy can live on through this EA and his forum posts.

Has anyones EA stopped working recently? I'm on the hybrid sessions 1c version.

Yes it is sad news indeed and i also have not heard from David for a long time, I hope he is also doing ok.

As for the EA I never used that version so can't say. I only use V1.2 for my live trading.

Not to necro this thread too hard but just to pay my respects to the work that was done here and how I still think about all the stuff I learned through this EA.

I'm no longer using the EA, but my time here was so fundamental to my trading and was a real good time.

Shout out to those that were there from the start...
