Disliked{quote} Meanwhile, Icarus is more sophisticated than my EA and this was the reason why I got interested in Icarus in the first place. So there are 2 possibilities to consider your idea as a good one. 1- My coding is not that good, so probably I could have done something more advanced to make the ATR progression feasible. 2- As I mentioned, Icarus is a sophisticated EA that has options for lot progression as well as distance progression (the distance between every new position when they are in loss)Ignored
Dislikedhi guys can i ask 2 questions? 1) has anyone tried to use EA on RENKO? 2) my broker OANDA does not allow hedge. the question is - has anyone tried EA only on SELL or BUY?Ignored
DislikedHello, thanks to the news of the day EA Robin has given these results.Ignored

Disliked{quote} Icarus can be used for only buy or only sell, the trading strategy of Icarus is totally no usage of hedging. At the beginning it put a hedging pair is just to initiate two cycle simultaneously only. Icarus is not relied on hedging to trade. But my Robin would. If you like to trade Icarus both ways on your broker, you can just open two same symbol charts, one trades long only, the other trades short only. The total results together should be almost indifferent to you trade Icarus in one symbol chart Long/Short.Ignored
Disliked{quote} Ahhh, let me tell you out of own experience, you can get a margincall with a broker who has zero margin on hedges for sure But for griding these are obv. perfect conditions (+ tight spreads and fair swaps, swaps are very important when it comes to aggresiv grid trading)... CheersIgnored

Disliked{quote} Talking about of how to use ATR to decide an appropriate grid size, it is a logic problem not a problem of coding skill. You have to know how ATR value be calculated and how do you use it. For instance, if you use ATR period 1 on the time frame 1D with the shift value 1, that means you are taking the swinging range of yesterday. You can use the swinging range of yesterday to predict today's range. There are many ways to predict the current range of swinging, and it is up to you. Once you have found your way to predict the range of swinging,...Ignored
QuoteDislikedYou have to make sure that the temperately losses won't cause margin calls. For instance, if n=5, your grid size should be 10 pips, the total lots in your negative profit cycle is are 1+2+3+4+5 = 15*minlots if you set progressive to 1, you can then predict the worse case in the swinging situation the total loss of the cycle could be (1*50pips+2*40pips+3*30pips+4*40pips+5*50pips)*value(minlots) = 630 pips * value(minlots).
Disliked{quote} Let me put it this way and if I'm wrong please correct me. Imagine, min_lots=0.01 and progression of lot size is 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 etc. Let's say max_positions = 5 so in the worst case scenario, we would have 5 positions with 0.15 lots in total (0.01+0.02+0.03+0.04+0.05 0.15)Ignored
Disliked{quote} Also, the grid progression is based on the last day ATR value multiplied by X How do you obtain the amount of X? {quote} Actually I don't get how do you reach this: (1*50pips+2*40pips+3*30pips+4*40pips+5*50pips)*value(minlots)Ignored
