TeChaoLiang thanks for your work and everyone contributing here. Can you advise which are the best pairs to use with Robin?
I always trade many pairs together with Robin. This way will take the advantage of the loss of some pair can be covered by other profit pairs. I would say that any pair with good liquidity should be a good choice.
Normally, the spread of a good liquidity currency pair is smaller. That is why I put max spread to 20 as the default. The rest things you should notice is the margin required for your positions. This is vary from different brokers, my brokers take 1/10 margin for hedged positions, that is a benefit for Robin. Because Robin use hedging orders on the loss position.
As long as you have enough free margin, you can choose as many good liquidity currency pairs as possible to rum simultaneously.
By the way, I have to double mentioned, never trade many pairs at the same time with Icarus. The trading logic of Robin and Icarus is quite different.

Because there are no hedging operations in Icarus, and that's why.
You can try multi-pair Icarus on a demo account with the account balance of 10K USD. Take min lots = 1, progresion =1, that can compare with Robin with 0.1 min lots of an 1K USD account.
You will frequently receive margin calls, and your account balance is shrunk very quickly.

Robin_1.1 attached. Robin now is totally a with trend grid trading EA. I run it on several currency pairs, EU, GU, AU, NU, EJ, GJ, AJ, NJ, simultaneously for couple days with the settings I set as the default. (I give each currency pair a different magic number.) The results seem so far so good. I only use BB as the trigger indicator, with TF 4H, period 14, std 2.0 shift 0. I always use ATR to determine the grid size, that is, the grid size is dynamically adaptable to the range of swinging. The settings I use are TF 1H, Period 5, shift 0, multiplier...

You can count the trades begin with 0.1 lots, some positions with the lots other than 0.1 are reacted some positions opened before 19/05, you don't have to count in.
You just need to count the positions of 0.1 lots after 19/05.

My default settings only use BB as the trigger condition. That is, the feature of Selected indicators conjuncted apply is no impact to your result.
Selected indicators conjuncted apply set to true, all the selected indicators will be conjunct together with the logic AND relations. if set it to false, the logic OR relations will be applied.
The EA should do what we design it to do. If the results are different, it must be your broker's cause. Different broker has a different spread of every currency pairs.
My broker offer a relative smaller spread, for example, the spread of EURUSD and AUDUSD is 0.9 pips, the spread of AUDJPY is 1.3 pips. If your broker's spread is larger, you can enlarge the Max_Spread value to 30 or more, that is meaning 3 pips or more. Robin won't trade a currency pair when the spread is larger than the Max_Spread.
Unless your broker is the same as my broker, to compare my setting with your settings is meaningless. If the brokers are same then the result should be the same, and also no need to compare.

No. Please check the spreads of each JPY pairs from your broker, then you know the reason why you don't have JPY pairs opened.

It is the chasing profit position. I will explain to you using a buy cycle as an example. When the total profit of a buy cycle reaches its virtual TP (profit goal), a maximal profit value is then recorded, at the same moment, a chasing profit position is also opened to chase the profit. But the price is not continue to grow, it go back to a lower value, and the total profit of the buy cycle (including the chasing profit position) is less than (profit lock * maximal profit), Robin will close the buy cycle, take the profit back, and wait for another good timing to initiate another buy cycle. You can enlarge the number of chasing profit if your free margin is enough, once the price is continue to grow, the max profit will be update to a higher value. Means your profit will gain.

max profit is the value Robin calculate itself. Profit lock is the value you set to protect the profit. Say, when a buy cycle is initiated there is a buy position opened, Robin will calculate the profit goal of this position. When the total profit of the buy cycle reaches the profit goal, it won't close the buy cycle immediately but to set a max profit value. When the total profit is below the (max profit * profit lock), it then close the buy cycle.

As long as Robin continue to earn, you don't have to very understand how it works. You just watch and wait, your account balance should eventually grow gradually.
