DislikedI run Back Test of Ikarus or Icatus EAs week by week on the currency pair AUDUSD, most of weeks, they work fine. However, there is a devil week, 2021.3.22 - 2021.3.26, Grip trading destroyed my account quickly. Because in this week, there was a trend of short, when trade with Grid, the buy orders will destroy the account. However, the account could be kept safe, if I run Icarus_2.2_COG.mq4. Although it won't so profitable like others. I set up min_lots 0.5, grid_size 15, gs_progression 0, progression 1, account_risk 1.0, take_profit 20, profit_lock...Ignored
Its normal, thats why we need a combination of strategies for this to be worthwhile on the long term. trend strat and/or " open position when in profit" type of strats..., to put it in the simplest terms.
Or really only trade specific zones (time, days, or in between 2Mas of different TF and params) found through optimization, different for every pair.... like I mentioned in a previous post.
If I don't mention SL and/or TP = longer-term setup possibly in the works!
