DislikedHello Sharing some info about live performance. On my account I'm using Icarus 3.3M with ATR mod. Broker is Dukascopy; Its on the GBPUSD, the few USDJPY trades are not connected to Icarus. Have a look at the report as a picture is worth a 1000 words. I think its fairly conservative. The return is $4.50 per day or roughly 1% per week. The Max P/L has been a about a $100 more at 330 or so. I may speculate with an additional pair beyond the Cable but I'm still learning the EA Cheers M {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi, I was able to do some test tradeing with 4.0. I think we had a major misunderstanding, maybe I was not clear enought The invert function you coded is changing if we want to buy or sell when the condidion is true. But I am looking for invertasion of the trigger, so e.g. if it's true on the BollingerBands I want to open cycle within the bands, when price is going out of the bands no new cycle will be open. Anyhow, it is great we have now trend and contratrend within the same version Could you be so kind and give...Ignored
DislikedAs you can see I traded more than 540 lots this year But again, this is not the best seting, this suits my own risk appetite...Also I was doing quite a bit action via the hot buttons of the EA...If you want to go crazy like this you need a prime broker and prime conditions (my avg. spread is 0,15 pips + 3€ Com/Lot, zero margin on hedged positions) and of course a high leverage...When using more soft settings you can also run it on 1:33 leverage... You can add me here so I will do add you, my buddies on Forexfactory can follow my account...Ignored
Disliked{quote} This is a common mistake made by the creators of the grid system. Of course, it is safer to add only in the direction of profit (the attached picture shows the course of the test with a similar EA, when it is added only in the direction of profit, with an initial deposit of 3000 USD, status after about 5 months). I trade the same EA on Live. What is most important - choosing the right pair and in connection with it other necessary parameters. Anyway good work. {image}Ignored

Disliked{quote} 3. Talking about the invert trigger of indicators. BB invert means when the price greater the BB up band we buy and when the price lower the BB low band we sell. It seems just revert the buy/sell direction. We don't have CCI indicator for triggering, if we have, together CCI > +100 with BB invert buy, the price is most likely goes a upward side walk along with the BB up band. I had coded a special version of Robin that has CCI indicator because I need. But to the indicators STO and RSI, to revert the buy/sell direction is meaningless. That's...Ignored
bool RSI_Buy() { double RSI_Value = iRSI(Symbol(),RSI_tf,RSI_Period,PRICE_CLOSE,RSI_Shift); if (!RSI_invert) { if (RSI_Value < RSI_Lower) return(true); return(false); } else { if (RSI_Value > RSI_Lower && RSI_Value < RSI_Upper) return(true); return(false); } } bool RSI_Sell() { double RSI_Value = iRSI(Symbol(),RSI_tf,RSI_Period,PRICE_CLOSE,RSI_Shift); if (!RSI_invert) { if (RSI_Value > RSI_Upper) return(true); return(false); } else { if (RSI_Value > RSI_Lower && RSI_Value < RSI_Upper) return(true); return(false); } }
Disliked{quote} By overlooking the code I figured out what you meant by inverting the RSI & STO It means for instance when RSI is inverted, no matter its value is both Buy and Sell are true to trigger a trade, UNLESS the value is more than the upper level or less than the lower level. bool RSI_Buy() { double RSI_Value = iRSI(Symbol(),RSI_tf,RSI_Period,PRICE_CLOSE,RSI_Shift); if (!RSI_invert) { if (RSI_Value < RSI_Lower) return(true); return(false); } else { if (RSI_Value > RSI_Lower && RSI_Value < RSI_Upper) return(true); return(false); } } bool RSI_Sell()...Ignored
Disliked{quote} You can try to see what happens. However you have to aware that RSI and STO are not like BB indicator. Their value represent a relative strength of the PA but not the price value. My invert of RSI or STO is used for preventing enter a trade in a trending market. When you coded them as the logic same with BB invert, it will means when the price goes a strong upward you sell and visa versa. I think it makes no sense. Also, RSI or STO is better to indicate a ranging market rather a trending market. (Because there are ceiling and flooring effects...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Interesting. Got you explanation. This way, we can ignore powerful trends and CCI or STO prevent us from opening a new cycle in trending markets. But for 2nd or 3rd positions in an opened cycle those indicators doean't have such ability, therefore, a solution is setting a reasonable value for Minimun Spread. Because in savage conditions, spreads go high and we can prevent EA from continuing the cycle unless market gets calm and consequently spreads become in range.Ignored

DislikedAny recommendation on how much balance is needed per 0.01 per pair for Robin? My bt is not working with Robin 2.7. No trades taken, but in live trading it does place trades.Ignored
DislikedConcerning my hedge, what I did now is the following. I tested with the EurUsd for the year 2020 because it's the worst. Minimum lots is 0.1, 6 max positions, 20 grid, progression 3. Whenever the 6th position opens (0.8 lots), I immediately open a hedge in the opposite direction double the value of the 6 positions combined...so 4 lots in this case. If the trend continues, I close out all trades after 100 pips at breakeven. I then wait and start the EA again when I feel the trend is over. If price goes gainst the hedge, I close out when the EA closes...Ignored
