{quote} Hi Can anyone advise me how to adjust the grid size on the Blessing ea please? Thanks Malcolm
That's something I have yet to explore. I tried once or twice and couldn't figure out how to make it fly in backtest.

If you figure it out please share. Always possible UseGridOpt has a bug in MT5, I don't know. I usually let Strategy Tester decide whether UseSmartGrid should be true or false. That's what my Optimize set file does.

There are a few pairs that would most likely benefit from a modified grid. Smart Grid works pretty well for the rest.

Thanks for your reply richard.
Will let you know if I find anything
Maybe I should try 1 pair (forex) on mt4 and see if that works.

But I think you said mt4 would not work properly for a backrest?
Thanks

I used to test a ranging strategy, if the market do not move up over around ~300pip for normal pair, 4 positions will be opened to handle the trade.( Normally the trade end with 1 or 2 position only )
And fixed grid was used, with the help of GAF function to adapt to the " breathing " of each pair.
I trade both ways, 1 chart for buy and 1 chart for sell, aiming for 8% per week.

So in theory: - SetCountArray: 3,2
- GridSetArray: 55,110
- TP_SetArray: 10,20
~ Max trade:4 ~Mutilplier:3
It was good but during the big event, you have to shut them down or shit will happen.
Example below: GBPUSD, GAF=2.1, only if the distance is 120 pip will the next trade be placed.

MT4 is okay for backtesting, just limited compared to MT5. You need to optimize fewer parameters at a time. For testing subsystems like grid sizing it should be fine. And helpful.

MT4 optimizes fine, it just takes more work and time from the user. Often a lot more.

There are a ton of good settings in this thread. Perhaps try reading it a little more carefully.

Much like trading Forex, you need to know some things to be successful. 80% of folks that try fail. Mostly through lack of knowledge and lack of care. If you jump in without knowing what you're doing, the odds are against you.

Trading is all about keeping the odds in your favor.

Good luck!

Here's one pass using the Optimize set file I posted recently. Took about an hour for the computer to run.

Probably needs cleaned up a bit. Just an idea what things look like. Note PortionPC is set to $250. That means Blessing is supposed to be operating within $250 worth of the account. That's kind of my preferred target lately, $250 or $500 with 1:200 leverage.

The idea is to run at least four of these on different pairs simultaneously, so when one slows down the others take up the slack.

Don't expect to run four of these on a $1000 account either, unless you tone them down a bit. You need more headroom than that.

The really promising aspect of this setup is that all trades apparently finished in less than 24 hours! Get in and get out! Less exposure.

To whoever it was that thought these things do too many trades, I like lots of trades. Turns out my broker likes lots of trades too. If you want a free VPS he wants to see lots of trades. Blessing is a grid trader so this setup makes seven small trades where another robot might make one bigger one. That's how grid traders work. Fabulous.

Dear Richard.
I found out that if you turn EnableOncePerBar, MT4 and MT5 trades do not match ( All the previous version). But it is all the same if OPB is off...?
And I learn from you, OPB is a must, so could you check if is there any crucial error many thanks.
Glad you back

OK Monday is up, I just checked and New version .23 seems to be all good ( Open price, 1 minute OHLC and real stick likely the same ).
Thank you Richard.

Is there any possibility of you posting a set files for any pair profitable or not but with grid sizes adjusted?
I can compare with the default settings, as I don't get it to work with the adjustment I am making

Thanks for taking the time to check and report. I'll look into it. I suspect it's not an easy fix.

How different are they? The few tests I made moving profitable set files from MT5 to MT4 were still nicely profitable.

OPB is not necessary on MT4, except to speed up testing substantially and normalize data. If you optimize with it on you probably want to trade with it on. Although the difference is often not that large.

MT5 is big and cumbersome in some ways. But overall optimizing is so much better and faster, I may close my MT4 accounts and stick with MT5. Optimizing with original Blessing without OPB takes days.

More testing ahead ...

Good luck!

This one looks fairly nice. PortionPC is set to $250. If you want to follow the account size change that number to 100 or less to specify percentage of the account.

Hello Richard,

Thanks for your sample setting,...
After I try to setting my MT4 EA, and put your setting,.. one by one,.. I test with MT4 Startegy Tester,... the result show a big difference with yours,..
As follows,...

May be you can guide me more by posting the MT4 set file ?

Thanks in advance,...

Thanks for checking.

As I mentioned before, you can't just take a set file for one broker and use it on another. This is not the stock market where everyone has the same data. Open Prices Only helps a little. But the data from different brokers often differs a lot. How that effects a particular robot setup is hard to predict. I suspect optimizing on MT5 and then tuning up again on MT4 is a better approach, way faster and better than MT4 alone. Or just switch to MT5. :-)

Blessing is complex. But that complexity is for a reason. It makes each subsystem, entry, duration, exit, etc., better suited to trading whatever pair is being targeted. Other EAs try to be simpler, mostly to suit MT4 and it's slow optimization. MT5 changes the game substantially. Consider trying an MT5 demo and see what you think. I'm using FXChoice which seems pretty solid and has good reviews. They have both MT4 and MT5 and they accept U.S. residents. The 1:200 leverage, hedging and no FIFO nonsense is pretty nice too. Blessing and MT5 seem made for each other.

My MT4 test doesn't have enough data. But the handful of trades it did make were all winners. I notice that yours was winning until halfway through also. Differences in data could cause that.

It's all spelled out a dozen times in earlier posts in this thread.

Massive speedup for optimizing MT4, with other advantages too.

MT4 provides for Open Prices Only, as do many EAs. This makes tick data unnecessary.

Good luck!

Hello All,

I'm new to FF so wasn't sure if this is the right place to put this.
There may be a simple answer to this question, but so far I have not found it. So I'm hoping some one might know.

Im looking for an EA that will Auto scale out of trades, and initiate trailing stop once it hits scale out levels.
I tried to illustrate a pic of what I'm thinking about:
- White dashed line = scale out by %
- red dashed line = trailing stop

Thanks everyone, happy trading!
