{quote} i am s=using cent account ,its safer for this kind of trading,i use standard account only for manual trades,marti and grids and all funky stuff should be done on cent account unless you have 10,000us dollar account.
Welcome on board,

I do trade on a standard account, but you are absolutely right, if you are a starter or your priority is safety a Nano Account is the place to trade those kind of strategies...Cheers

Can you add an addiction to this EA please.İt is to start first order according to the center of gravity indicator.We can add some options like that;

Open first order in order to Center of Gravity;true or false (İt will open first sell order on high line of indicator and open first buy order on low line of indicator)

When making changes to your ea, check out labouchere and reverse labouchere (for the volume).

I personally have had greater successes with that than with what you are using now, at least for most strategies I have that have significantly higher return/drawdown with volume progression.

Who know ?!

Cheers all! Love to see good team players in action!!

P.S but it all depends on the strategy used for entries. And It wont help an already losing strategy. So you need to figure out better entries first.

AND of course, as you know, if you continue with your regular withdrawals idea, never stop calculating and making sure the wins on successful deposits can cover the losses on failed ones.
If I don't mention SL and/or TP = longer-term setup possibly in the works!

Hi and welcome, thats sounds interesting to me, I will check it out, thanks...

Edit: ok, sounds cool, but how should we integrate it into the EA, due to the fact it will not close a single trade nor a cycle in minus when you do not use SL function?

How would the volume progression look like in the EA, can you make an example please? Thanks...

I like COG, too, but let's start with Bollinger where I know it will be a great plus for the EA. COG could be an alternative for BBs if we find someone to code it...cheers

Good afternoon As I said here, I only work with US30. I make my manual entries, placing pending orders looking only at the maximum and minimum of the day at 16:00 (BROKER). I place a BUY STOP above the high and a SELL STOP below the low at that time. (They are very good entries) I would just like EA Ikarus to manage my entries after they are triggered. Grateful

Hey, you could do this via manual mode when a Coder has implemented this function, but you would need to do this by yourself.

Icarus will use market orders, so we can control spread on Position opening...

I'm sorry this chart is in the middle of the strategy.
The grid size is set to 5, but I think the width is narrow.

Looks good to my, no error, the distance is multiplied with Fibonacci figures due to the setting gs_progression = 3...

The original version has no indicator, so a new cycle opens after the last was closed. I hope to find some coders here who implement those improvements I posted today...

First, read up somewhere how labouchere works if you havent, and come back here.

So to use Labouchere when no cycle ends in loss, you just have to redefine what is a loss. In this case, it cant be when we go minus, because as we know, it never does.

Lets say that a loss is when a cycles profit is below a certain amount.

For example, using the sequence of 1,2,3,4,6 (this should also be in your optimization inputs, and remember it does not need to be sequential):

1+6, so Bought 7 lots

Cycle ends with 0.3% in profit = and we decided that 0.3% considered a loss, so next cycle our sequence has become 1,2,3,4,6,7. We take 1st and last again(1+7) because its a "loss" , and so next cycle we trade 8 lots.


Then, lets say next cycle we make 2.5% and that is considered a win, then we take off 1 and 7, which leaves us with 2,3,4,6, and trade the amount of the next two outer numbers (2+6 = 8 lots), for the next cycle. and so on.

When there are no more numbers, we just start again, with the original numbers.


Sorry for the sloppy explanation, cant review right now... had too much to type today...


so in optimization input we should also have cycle profit levels for labouchere of course



P.S

On another note, and lets not talk about this more, but for me, personally, the first thing I would work on in this ea, would be to accept Loss of some kind... It is necessary, eventually. At least for good enough return/dd ratio on the long term... Market changes regularly in a way that without loss control, the return/dd ratio will always be awful. And that means finding the best way for a given strategy to actually accept a loss when these major market changes happen ; it is a necessity, in my experience, not an option. Withdrawing amounts regularly wont change that the busted accounts losses, no matter the withdrawals, will always make a poor return/dd overall.

But I prefer to give you, this team and your ea s hidden potential, the benefit of the doubt!



Thats one of the things I would change in this ea. Market changes as you know. An accepted Loss of some kind is necessary, eventually. At least for good enough return/dd ratio...
