Hi,

Due to the fact I found derivates from our EA on the MT4 store for sales (1.999 USD) I will not share my current version here. I hope you understand,

Thanks for your testing. Time to give up grid trading and I will focus on “pullback + breakout"

is it something combined between martingle and grid system?
honestly; i am searching an ea to use martingle like this one:

trade on pivote and tren catcher and fibo

10 pips 0.01 lot loss
10 pips 0.02 lot loss
10 pips 0.04 lot close all
And etc....
If trend is in low price, buy
If trend in high then : sell

Grid:
Buy
1: 0.01 loss
2: 0.02 loss
3: 0.04 loss
4: 0.08 loss
5: 0.16 loss
6: 0.34 loss
7: 0.68 loss
8: 1.36 loss
Then: open sell
1: 1.36 after 10 pip open:
2: 0.68
And.....

You can try your positions keep in 300 pips no high DD

Is there any EA you know ? Or something like this?

Hi, thanks for sharing!

I tested your EA and found it difficult to work with GOLD (i know you trade fx pairs) that is my main asset but I found good value with:
-GU
-AUDCAD
-CHFJPY
-EURNZD
-NZDUSD
-NZDCAD

I will forward test it and maybe try triuvantumes strategies that hedge against each other for extra safety.

Very intersting strategy considering Im a full counter trend trader.

I was also thinking in how to hedge once trends starts so thanks for sharing sauce!

I covered a video with link to this post so they can download your shared version, i have no engagement lol but hope someone can find the video and learn more about your system.

Cheers!

I love grids. I let it run to a certain point and move money to a different account. This way when it blows its ok. I'll have to try this 2.8 over the weekend.

How do you decide when to move?
Just an opinion. Based on research

Its individual. You could do percent gain on equity; you could do double the equity.

If I put 200 bucks in account that's my stop (Depending on the grid since some have an option to stop trading at X Draw down Percent)

So, in this case 200 becomes 400 I move 200 into trading the wallet (not all brokers have this) or move it to a dormant account. (or to a safer trading account)

The idea is to take profit money and build another account. Grids blow up, that's just the nature, but they can make an impressive amount of money.

Let's be honest any EA that makes money should have some withdrawals to build more accounts to make more money with dame EA in same broker or another.

If you have a very large account and used conservative settings, you could in theory take out money but there will always be floating DD (with most grids)

In theory let's say 10k account grows to 11k in a few days you remove the 1k every time to build another account. Or move it to a safer trading account. OR just save it in dormant account until you have another 10k to do it again buttttt.....

Better to have different brokers for each grid because once you start pulling out more than 1k every few days into your bank account to live on they have a tendency to close your accounts. (not all but many)

There is no hard rule 80808 just take advantage of the power of grid trading. At the end they will always blow, but currency selection, gap size, multiplier size, etc will determine how safe and how reliable you can double the equity or maybe even pull out 20% equity until it crashes.

I'm still backtesting 2.8 and so far not looking good for me in TW broker.

{quote} Tero, just release a new 1k account each next week/month? Those who do survive, will make it big...
1K --> 2K (1K are taken out of the account)
1K --> 3K (1K are taken out of the account)
2K --> 5K (2K are taken out of the account)
3K --> 8K (3K are taken out of the account)

Good idea too

This 2.8 is full of settings. Any definition of them?

I don't see an equity TP stop. Or am I just not seeing it

Back test from 1/8 to today on EG blows up BUT that's not unexpected. Thats why I like grids with a Withdrawl Equity Setting where the EA turns off so you can withdrawl and restart it.

Grids are the best way to make money but people like to play wizards with sniper entries and limit their profits with lazy risk management.

What good grids EAs have you tested? I find ikarus intersting due the counter trend logic, but I myself like to counter trend all time by hedging.

What about you?

{quote} Well, it depend on which EA you are running. For Robin, you have to keep enough free margin to guarantee the EA will work normally, that is, one min lots for normal position and 2 min lots for hedging, total of margin need for three time of min lots. For Icarus, you have to predict the max positions and the progressive lot size of each position to calculate how much free margin is enough to guarantee the EA work normally. Anyway, reduce your min lots will reduce the drawdown percentage.
Hi G, im curious what you trade now days?

I find a lot of good fellow traders in this post that understand how powerful and risky grid systems can be!
