I hope DanielChan is going to name the next official release 2.8, so named this bugfix related to the time_to_trade function 2.71.

All changes have been posted earlier.

Hi Gridders
1. Can you add news filter?

If you use Icarus 2.2 Post#1 it trades independent of the chart timeframe.

But it works great when the market is NOT trending and if the market is choppy,
for example when the Weekly is not trending and is range bound, you will make some money when you can trader both ways.

However, when the market starts to trend, you will have to "cut-losses short" and "let profits run". This is the difficult thing for most traders to do ... i.e. knowing when to "cut losses" ...

Example GU Weekly range bound for weeks ...

> this is range bound trading strategy

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. {quote} 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....
hi daniel, kindly put MACD into your 2.8 before release , setup two options which allow
a. hybrid of GRID+MACD or
b.solely use MACD to open trades (value<signal=buy,signal <value=sell) put in MACD )

all other features remain unchanged.

thanks

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...

Dear Gridders,
today I've got something really exciting for you with unique features never seen before in an EA... Flexy The Dragon v2.8 with a bunch of new capabilities, but to make it short and sweet, here is just a brief list:

  1. dynamic ATR lot size - v2.8
    calculate the lot size based on current market volatility to reduce risk, using the percentage difference of two daily ATRs with a period X and 200, able to adjust the min. and max. lot size + sensitivity of the current ATR in days
  2. strict signals for indicators - v2.8
    enable "strict signals" for individual custom indicators to separate and control initial and grid orders
  3. display all information - v2.8
    optimized displaying indicator and all settings information on chart
  4. improved profit reducing - v2.8
    now the take profit can be reduced per each new grid order by using a percentage instead of pips (minimum TP of 0.01$)
  5. advanced partial closing - v2.8
    wait until the combined profit of the oldest + current order reaches an amount of positive/negative X pips before closing both orders
  6. fixed grid outscaling - v2.8
    grid outscaling keept opening orders after closing it (with the last orders lot size) now it will not open endless orders anymore
  7. fixed all warnings - v2.8
    and added custom comments for orders

Please test each function thoroughly and report any major errors you may encounter.

Edit: Haha, that's what happens when you put things out too early. Then you find another mistake there and another one there... lol. So I'll have to look over it again first and then upload version v2.8.1 as soon as I've tested the new dynamic lot size extensively.

Greetings, Daniel

It works exactly like it has to. Of course if you turn on exit, then it will exit all the time on opposite signal...
