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...

{quote} I try to do this and trade in one direction cycles.... working nicely. Still testing all the possible input combination it the EA settings. I need another few months testing to have a better feel of the EA handling trades in different market type conditions. Good job done by and support TeChaoLiang.
Can I get copy of your EA because my USA broker allows only one direction trading?
Thanks.

Owing to the fact that Robin is a with trend grid trading EA, it is naturally with the hedging operation and that is not available for all USA brokers.
A better broker for Robin is with the following conditions. First of all, the hedge margin per lot is as minimal as possible, for example, if an one lot position is hedging to another one lot position, my broker takes hedge margin per lot is one tenth of margin per lot, the margin require for total two lots hedging positions is only o.1 margin for one lot position. And of course, lower spread, higher leverage, lower swap is preferable.

You can then go shopping around all brokers you know with the simple script attached and find a better one for you.

{quote} As I mentioned before, never rely or believe my default settings. The default settings is for the purpose of testing my EA logic. For different symbols you have to find a better settings for you. If you like to use indicators trigger, setup what you like, and tune the multiplier of ATR to find a better multiplier. It is important to grid trading to have a appropriate grid size, not too large and not too small.

If a pair is in profit or loss and i close it manually ,will this action interept or disturb Robins logic in making decisions in taking next trade?

Please advise if there will be any impact in doing this?

Hello all,
First of all I thank you all for this amazing post. I have been a silent follower of this thread for some time and I must admit this is the most informative and helpful thread I have came across on forexfactory. I have been testing both the Eas and so far they are working great. Attached is the profits for today. I am using the default settings. The only thing I do is that I manually close some trades when I feel like it is going to go against me or I feel the profit or loss is enough for me. Once again thank to everyone

10/10 My broker is not charging any margin for hedged positions, this is a big plus when trading grids in an aggressive way, but I will not name the company here because I do not like getting red flagged as commercial stuff

Hi,

short update on my real account wich you can understand as a motivation and/or a warning

I started this year with very aggresiv settings and was able to double the account within 3 months. Before I was able to make a payout I was griding in the wrong move and after a hard battle with the hedging function I was liquididated on one order and closed the rest, the account was minus 4k. I changed the leverage from 1/200 to 1/400 (grr, had I done this before I would not have been liquidated, lol) and now after 3 months, the account is fully recovered and I am ready to attac again...

Pls undersatnd, I use very aggresive settings, you can manage your risk via settings, this is the reason I ask you all to run backtest and fronttest instaed of asking for the best settings

I am trading on a Icarus version which is simular to the 2.3 (out of my head) of our beloved coder

I will enable th etrade explorer here for the account for my buddies, so if you want to see it subscripe to me and letīs be buddies

Cheers

No. No impact when you close the position manually.

There are no big different of Icarus no matter of latest or old version. The different is only you can directly manually enter positions and you can set profit_lock to 1 with no problem. The trading effect of all version of Icarus won't make too much different. However, I dare not using Icarus on my live account except beginning with a small min lot, 0.01 or 0.02.

To the Robin, I am working out a better hedging logic. I also put my modify Robin into real live account. The new version of Robin I didn't share here yet. For one reason, because of my hedging logic is a little sophisticated, it is hard to be tuned if you don't understand how Robin dealing with the hedging. Comparing to cut off the loss positions manually, it is hard to explain how to tuning the modified Robin.

Feel free to choose any option. because the EA on page 1 of Mapi is still a good choice. What you need is control where the major trend starts to reverse (such as a 52 week flat trend has ended opening the next cycle, you can go down smaller like frame D1,... ) to take decisions to stop loss on opposite orders to avoid loss of account and your profit to zero in the next time of strong trend strong.
