Free Grid EA Ikarus - From zero to hero

{quote} Show the error message. I think the problem is from your broker. There are expression in Icarus will be divided by tick value for calculating the MaxLoss or ticksbyprice. When Icarus obtain the Tick Value from your broker, it get a zero in return, then the divided by zero occurs. Normally, no matter what symbols are, the tick value should not be zero. Most EAs will use tick value to calculate somethings. Perhaps your broker deliberately set tick value to zero to prevent any EA running on some specific symbols. Zero tick value won't affect...

{quote} Not bad this idea, which version do you run? Because my verision (time scheduled trading is working) 4.1 have a mistake in trading with inverted indicators - it always opens positions in booth directions as I invert the indicator signal... Thank you!

If want to for any symbols, you have to find the PIP value of those symbols and change (int)round(ATR_Multiplier*scale*iATR(Symbol(),ATR_tf,ATR_Period,ATR_shift)) to (int)round(ATR_Multiplier*iATR(Symbol(),ATR_tf,ATR_Period,ATR_shift)/PIP)...

If you like each cycle the ATR can be recalculated, you can move the ATR part out and put it to some where you like. However, it is not so appropriate that let the ATR recalculated at every iteration of tick changed. That will confuse the grid trading logic. The better approach is to put it in the block that a new cycle be initiated, that is, at the buys=0 and sells=0 part.

{quote} Thank you TechaoLiang. I add an extern variable, TP_Multiplier, to replace that 0.9 value in the take_profit calculation to provide some flexibility. extern double TP_Multiplier = 0.9; //TP Multiplier (Ratio of ATR) and take_profit = TP_Multiplier*ATR_Grid_Size()/ATR_Multiplier; The setting becomes: {image}

However, I haven't figured out where to put that ATR_Grid_Size calculation so it can be updated whenever a new cycle start (no buy cycle and no sell cycle exist). Do you mean to put it in the INIT VARS block? {image} I did move it, anyway. The ATR grid size and TP value is actually updated very often. I wonder if I put it at the right place. Any suggest? Thanks.

{quote} Well done. You did a correct work on this part. {quote} The place you are putting will cause the TP and grid size change every tick changed. That is too frequently. If you want to recalculate ATR when a new cycle is initiated, you should put the code here: {image} and here {image}

{quote} Well, I think perhaps do a partial closing of the profitable cycle is a better approach. That is, when a profitable cycle reach a new max_profit, instead of doing profit lock, we can do a sequence of order close of orders in that cycle. How to select orders to be closed from the cycle and will any new order to be added at this moment still under discussing, for example, maybe from the lot size on, choosing the positive profit one and a negative profit one as a pair, perform partial close or closeby function if the broker allow. This will...

Hello again, i tried the marketinfo EA and everything went well! I'm just trying to figure out how to use it on the DAX in the strategy tester. Unfortunately my Demo account does not support testing on indices, only on some pairs. Attached you can find the error message. I want to say thank you to all of you. I'm not good in programming, unfortunately and I am also not good in giving advice on the trading bot. But all i can tell you from backtesting and using the EA since a couple of weeks now, is that this is really, really good work and it is...

{quote} Suppose the current value of BB upper line is BBU and of BB lower line is BBL. ASK BID means when current Ask < BBL will trigger a buy signal and when Bid > BBU will trigger a sell signal. High Low means when current LOW < BBL will trigger a buy signal and when HIGH > BBU will trigger a sell signal. Above is normally use BB indicator. when you check Invert Trigger to be true, then ASK BID means when current Ask > BBU will trigger a buy signal and when Bid < BBL will trigger a sell signal.
