I spent serveral hours adding some recovery functions into Ikarus, e.g Partial Closing, Cycle hedging, etc. Please enjoy and backtest it and share the best setting you even found. Happy 2025 ahead!! {file}
Hello! Very good adviser, a big plus is that you can add your own indicator for trading! The only problem is the visual part (
Can you add a setting to remove unnecessary information and leave only data on transactions and deposits?

Hi! I downloaded and have put your EA version of Ikarus (or Icarus) in a demo account; I'm also using it in a CENT account. I'm very impressed with the way its working in the CENT account - of course conscious of the fact that its a big risk and that my account can blow up anytime - however, the equity is small (< $250) and I'm taking that risk!!

Thanks a lot for your EA!!

I am using Pip Finite Trend PRO as a custom indicator - please confirm if there is anything specific I need to look out for. Thanks in advance!!

Dear all,

I am getting many request if I can make english videos on youtube again. Currently I am short of time and still committed to produce weekly german content for this year. Maybe I will set myself a different challenge for 2026 in English, will let you know when I have made my plans.

Meanwhile I also get requests if I can link my account statistic again to this thread, and I am more than happy to do so (you can see only the history of 2025).

Green Pips and Cheeeerrrss.
MaPi!

Hey. Your version works best for me in MT4 testing. Could you share the source code? I’ll convert it to MT5 so the tests can be more reliable. Thanks in advance!

That's ok. Just one poor market cycle.

But looking back last 4 years the number of completed cycles and withdrawals made he only gave back some.

Hello, good morning. I wanted to let you know that I have had Icarus activated for almost a year in a real cent account, where it has generated 88.4%, a monthly average of 8% to date. I trade multiple pairs with the original preset, with the first trade at 0.01 Lot. I have focused on long-term profitability.
If you wish, you can copy the operation in PuPrime Copy Trading.

Hola buenos días, quería comentarles que tengo el Icarus activado desde hace casi un año en cuenta real de centavos, en la cual ha generado un 88.4%, promedio mensual 8% hasta la fecha. Opera multiples pares con el preset original, con la primera operación en 0.01 Lot. Me he enfocado en rentabilidad a largo plazo.
Si lo desean pueden copiar la operativa en Copy Trading de PuPrime.

Hi,
I deployed your EA file in a demo account and I'm seeing the following error:

Failed to copy data from the handle_stochs indicator, error code 4807

Please help on this error. Alternatively, if you have a newer version of the EA, can you please share the same?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Gridders, sorry I didn't continue to work on version v2.8 as I'm working on Little Dragon EA, which is based on VR Smart Grid Lite and is 100x faster and lighter than Flexy. But anyhow. Here is the final version of Flexy The Dragon v2.8 for anyone interested. bi-directional trading - v2.8 add another signal to custom indicator which allows for bi-directional trading in a neutral zone in sideways market condition dynamic ATR lot size - v2.8 calculate the lot size based on current market volatility to reduce risk, using the percentage difference...
Thanks a lot for this!! I'm using it in a real account, today has been the first day in the market and I am very impressed with the performance so far - touchwood!! I deployed your EA on XAUUSD using only Bollinger Bands indicator with period set to 60. Most of the other parameters are in general default settings. Will be happy to share settings if anyone is interested.

Once again, thank you very much!!!
