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. {file}

Hello, I am also more a MT5 user. Would you also be so kind to share the .mql5 file for us?
Thank you

No problem. When I have time in the next two days, I will complete the conversion of the latest version of the source code and then upload it.

Currently about to finish the next version v2.8, which will come with a new built-in ADR indicator with ADR Levels and a Dynamic Percentage to trade those levels on a daily basis for mean reversion or trend strategies.

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?

Ignored

amrhamdy: That's a good point! I will try to add a separate TP field for the partial closing trades into the settings, as this is also a common input in other EAs, where you can set how many percentage overlap the last position should make, before closing the first position. I think a simple take profit in pips should be fine. Then you can simply put 1 or 2 pips into the field (for the spread) to close the oldest trades for a break even.

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. {image} {image}

Ignored

Jmge: If you don't have "Yoga Mode" or "Strict Signals" turned to true, it should normally open the next grid order at those lines.

Ignored

mring16: Yes, of course. Just turn all indicators to false. That's it.

For the next version I will turn off all indicators and leave the ATR dynamic take profit and grid spacing on, for a more classical but still flexible grid trading by default.

quyennh: Do you mean to reduce the TP each time a new candle is formed, so based on time? I'm not sure if this would help much, but feel free to explain your strategy and we might consider it.

Greetings,

I used Flexy The Dragon v2.7, set the Fixed Grid Step is 0.1 pips, One Candle Limit is True. In my Picture 1, the signal Sell is on 08:45, it means on the next candle 09:00 open the sell order. But on the Candle 09:00, having 2 sell orders open on 09:00 and 09:01. I already set One Candle Limit is True, it means on 09:00 candle open only one sell order. It open 2 sell orders is the bug right? I set the Fixed Grid Step is 0.1 pips because if having any sell signal higher than the last opened sell order, it will open the new sell order, I don't care about the distance between them.

Yes, there seems to be an issue during backtesting with opening and closing orders quickly on signals and re-open them. This also happens using the built-in indicators. Currently searching for the bug in the code. It happens randomly and not on the same orders. Doesn't matter if "One Candle Limit" is true/false. Would be interesting to see, if that happened before with previous versions... I'm working on it.

Edit: I've found out that the original "Partial Closing" function will make the trades sometimes open and close immediately and then reopen again during the backtest on all versions, but only if you use less than 3 orders for Partial Closing. So that's not really an issue if you use 3 or more orders for that.

hola querido pues tu trabajo es mas que todo excelente en forma grafica podria costar como dijiste unos 200 o 300 dolares sin embargo esto arruina cuentas en todos los backtest pierde mas de lo que genera pero en en el sp500 us300 uss400 es excelente en el oro es excelente tiene un flotante alto pero a beneficio creo que una cuenta de 5000 mil dolares soportaria muy bien

ahora la pregunta es hay esto para mt5?
en mq5?
la mayoria de los broker latinos trabajan en mt5 mas que todo para operar indices bursatiles alguien puede convertir esta maravilla andante en mq5?

Hello dear, your work is above all excellent in graphic form, it could cost, as you said, about 200 or 300 dollars, however this ruins accounts in all the backtests, it loses more than it generates but in the sp500 us300 uss400 it is excellent in the gold it is Excellent, it has a high float but in terms of profit, I think that an account of 5,000 thousand dollars would support it very well.
Now the question is is this for mt5?
in mq5?
Most Latin brokers work on mt5 mostly to operate stock indices. Can anyone convert this walking wonder into mq5?

I set the Partial Closing is 5 and Grid Outscaling is 8. In my case, it is not close immediately and then reopen again. But the EA open 2 order in One Candle.

Hi alfredhieu,
I would not use Partial Closing together with Grid Outscaling as this might confuse the EA too much. Better choose one of them.

I'm not sure why. How many times does it happen? Try testing by everytick, try another similar indicator, turn off auto lot size, also do a forward test on demo account and see if any double trades are beeing opened. Maybe the test is just too quick or some downloaded history price data is broken.
