I've just fixed another minor error, which was not correctly calculating the ADR for XAU/JPY pairs. I've reuploaded the v2.4 version in my last post.

There are still 6 big features on the wish list I would love to have:

1) manual trading panel to open orders with input field for lot size and arrows which adjust the volume by 0.01 lots (+ all buttons working in the backtester)
2) buy/sell pause buttons to quickly turn on or off the trade direction, which will also smoothly finish all currently open grid cycles
3) hedged partial closing of orders for opposite trades, if there are trades opened in other direction, it will use the profits to close the other grids
4) partial closing by pips which finds the largest loosing position and closes it partially in small parts, if another position goes into profit by XX pips (similar to "AW Recovery EA", "AW Close By Profitables" or "Open Lock EA")
5) multi currency trading especially for global partial closing, which finds the largest loosers and close it using profits from other profitable grids and pairs
6) send settings to custom indicators from an EAs input field line by line, so you don't need to modify the mq4 file, or if you have only the ex4 file

not easy to do, but maybe there is a passionate coder to implement these dreams into our EA?

Sorry, I can not help everybody to find the buffers for the indicators. You have to put the effort in and find them yourself, study how buffers work. There is already a quick reference guide in the EAs settings. I've also spent lots of time to find out the correct buffers for various indicators.

Attach the indicator to your chart, press CTRL+D and find the buffers. Remember the first buffer has the number 0 and not 1. It starts always from 0. So if there is an arrow at the 4th buffer filled with 1.0000 value on the buy/sell candle signal, then go for the buffer 3 used as an empty indicator, as the value is usually empty and gets only triggered if it gets filled with a value (usually just 1.0000).

Hey @DanielChan,

Quick one, I've been testing this on live and demo accounts. it's working great, However I've just spoken to my broker who has told me the EA is sending ALOT of requests for new orders, even when the grid limit has been reached, It's still trying to "BUY/SELL" new positions when the grid is iset to 10 max and I've 10 positions open. The only reason it doesn't buy more is because the lot size is high and it says "insufficient funds". They've said i'm constantly messaging their servers every second ... Do you know of this bug?

Keep up the great work! I love this thing.

Cheers,
Dan

Yes, this happens also in the backtest, if you are already in deep drawdown, close to margin call, without money... So you should shut down the EA manually or set the account risk to 0.9 for max 90% drawdown, after that it will close all orders, shut down and not send new orders. Try to lower your lot sizes, increase your grid steps, limit your max. orders and/or make sure you have enough money for the entire grid.

Edit: I will set the yoga mode / equity warning to 0.7 (70%) and shut down / account risk to 0.9 (90%) as default for the next version.

ps. working on the "One Candle Limit" function to limit multiple entries on the same candle

Greetings,
Daniel

Heyho Gridders,

I'm proud to present you yet another big update of Flexy The Dragon v2.5 with re-ordered risk / recovery settings and a new feature (or actually it's a fix) called "One Candle Limit" which - you guessed it - won't open more grid orders on the same candle anymore, but will wait for the next one. This took a while to code with the help of AI, because I found myself in a loop of repeating errors and complicated fixes by the AI... but after I gave the AI a hint, it finally worked out.

For the next part I want to add another feature "Partial Breaking", which will close the last orders in the grid like a stop loss, if they have reached a specific distance (pips/ATR) in loss and were not beeing able to close in profit by Partial Closing. So it will gradually close the first grid orders to reduce drawdown and get the average TP price closer to the current price to avoid a crash, because sometimes it simply goes down and down or up and up... without retracing enough to trigger the partial closing of the last and first order in the grid.

Greetings,
Daniel

Hello gridders,

I was working on the Partial Breaking feature and finally, after the AI drove me complete nuts, finally it worked...

So now you can choose to simply close your oldest/first orders in the grid as soon as X orders in the grid are opened.

You can also combine it with Partial Closing. So if there is a retrace of price, it will try to use the last order to close the first order in profit and if that doesn't work out and the price skyrockets up or stonefalls down then it will close the orders to keep the grid to a certain number of orders.

So here it is: Flexy The Dragon v2.6... Have fun and if you make money consider to by me some coffee... ;D

I think we need a small features, need limited quantity of target per candle, example: if I set maximum = 3 so it will close target 3 times, even still can enter more entry but it will not entry more
