{quote} Hi Mr. Liang. I tested out this 4.0 version and set the "Using ATR for Grid Size = true" with Multiplier = 5.0. I test this on USDCAD, beginning at 2020.01.02 on M5 chart. However, it looks to me that the grid size is not dynamically adjusted according to the ATR. Instead, the grid size seems to be fixed at the initial value when the backtest started. The following image is the snapshot of the ATR setting, the rest of the setting is as default. Is there any settingI have missed? Thanks. {image}

{quote} {image} So far, ATR grid size determine grid only at the beginning of the EA. If you want the grid size changed dynamically when each iteration of tick value changed, you can move the code "grid_size = ATR_Grid_Size();" from line 243 to line 247. Then, recompile it.

{quote} You can put your filter condition into line 1346, 1406, 1527, 1571. The condition for only create new order on new candle can be expressed as MathMod(TimeCurrent()/TimeFrame)==0 This is the right moment of the old candle closed and new candle opened at the TimeFrame you choose. Of course, you can give a little time tolerant for it, say, MathMod(TimeCurrent()/TimeFrame)<=5, means within 5 secs after a new candle begin.

{quote} I have no experience of running Icarus on any account, deme, live or even back test. Your order sizes are strange, what is your init lots and lots progression? You have better show your settings for others can figure out whether or not your result is abnormal. But to my understanding of Icarus, the grid size is also virtual. Unlike traditional grid EA use a realistic grid, Icarus use grid size to calculate virtual SL, and the virtual SL of a given position is calculated from the open price of the position to a grid size of loss. That is,...

Unfortunately My account has expired in EURUSD. My 3200usd account cannot support 0.05 batch use. 2.23ea experienced five months of explosion If you want to hang up with Icarus, you must invest at least 10000 USD. Don't hold any illusions, because you can't resist the unilateral trend that lasts for a month
