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...
Nicely done!

I need to add, if you're adding this type of feature, you really need to add a automatic Stop Loss to all trades (Even if its 100+ pips away). Should the EA stop/break/crash and the market swings with news, you can literally wipe out an account without a SL.

Maybe a SL above the GRID top & bottom as a safety net would be a very valuable risk management precaution.

Hi Gridders,

I have tested the "Partial Breaking" function for 10 years in the backtest on two different H1 pairs and it works as intended. Actually the name "Partial Breaking" is very similar to the "Partial Closing" and might be confusing or easy to mix it up. So I've changed the name to "Grid Outscaling" which describes it quite well.

So let's call it now "Grid Outscaling" instead, which should start to close the 1st/oldest orders in the grid for a loss if it reaches X orders in the grid and keeps closing more orders in the grid until it hits TP.

The other "Partial Closing" uses the last order's profit to close the 1st/oldest order for a small profit and keeps the same lot size of the last order to close the next oldest order until it can hit TP.

Also I've added a little feature to add a custom text on the chart with a strategy name and description, so it's easy to create different strategies and save it as a template. You could for example name one strategy "Bollinger Bands Long" and in the description "trades buy orders with 20 grid step + 10 take profit" or whatever you like. Also you can change the color to "blue" to easy spot the BUY only expert/template.

So here is Flexy The Dragon v2.7 for download below.

So far, keep calm, play safe, get rich.
Greetings, Daniel

Woah quick work! Well done!
I've just thrown this onto a new test node for forward testing this week.

Quick one, Can we turn off order comments? Literally "Flexy The Dragon-0" is showing on all positions. This is great for the tool but once the brokers/exchanges know what strategy you're running, they DO code in algo's to offset your profits. I really hope you can turn this off otherwise this will get chopped up by the market before it works well.

Nitty gritty, but got tired of the compile warnings:

changed this:

//old
string nome_file = DoubleToString(versionBMI, 0) + "_" + Symbol() + "_" + IntegerToString(magic) + "_log.txt";

//new
string nome_file = versionBMI + "_" + Symbol() + "_" + IntegerToString(magic) + "_log.txt";

and

//old
string versionStr = DoubleToString(versionBMI, 2);

//new
string versionStr = versionBMI;

and like magic the two compile warning disappears, as versionBMI already is a string.

Quick and dirty way to do this would be like this:

Change

string key = "Flexy The Dragon";

into

string key = "";

and the order comment would have stripped the block "Flex The Dragon"

Hey fraggli,
that's awesome. Thanks for your fix! It's compiling now without warnings.

For the next version I have also changed the "key" for order comments to the "Strategy" input field, so the first "Name of Strategy" will be used for all comments, included the hedged trades. I will not upload this version for now, as this is only a very small change... As soon as there are other major fixes or new features I will upload v2.8.

Happy trading
Daniel

Hello,
I am testing the latest version right now, but I want yo confirm something
If we checked the parcial close it will close the first and last orders on the take profit you specify?! If so what do you think, shohld we close them on a Break even because we want to close them ASAP and the other orders will close normaly on the TP.
what do you think?

I have converted the source code into the MQL5 version and provided it for testing to interested individuals. I have been conducting real-time simulated testing since February 12th, starting with $5000 and increasing it to $7500 currently, with a maximum drawdown of 36%. It shows promising potential.

Hello, good afternoon, I wanted to ask if you can help me, Dragon v2.7, with the indicator parameters set to current, there will not be the operations where the next operation line indicates, is this the case or is it an error?
To open the operation I must change the timing from M15 to M1, otherwise it will not open.
