Ok Plasmapants.... and for others who want the mod FF was suggesting.
Attached first is the Orderreliable.mqh which must first be added to the 'include' folder which is below your 'experts' folder where you add all your EA's.
Second attached is the original EA that FF posted on page 1 with the mods added to it (i hope). When you compile you don't get any errors but 2 warnings. Ignore them cause those funtions aren't used within the EA.
I have briefly tested the EA and it works fine. As i said before, im not a coder so if there are mistakes don't kill me.
Did you not read my post directly after where that request was found?
That will extend the tp/sl levels out further which will do what your after

let me explain myself further. i am not a coder and do not want to touch it. i dont care if it makes sense to you or if you think its so easy. if it was so easy, everyone would be making one. and when i read your post it sounds like you think i stupid or something. be kind here.

You arent even trying to learn. If you asked a question regarding what i had typed then by all means. 'Im not sure how to start, or to open code to see what your talking about, can you help me'.. then for sure. If your trying to learn then good on you for trying. I thought i gave a fairly descriptive answer, explaining exactly what needs to change. If you opened up the EA to view the code and read every line then you will see what im talking about.
As i have said 100 times before. I am not a programmer, never have been.
I only learnt how to do those very basic things by teaching myself, opening code up.. making 1 change at a time to see what was altered when i test it. Write it down so for next time i know what that mod does. Thats all you have to do to begin the learning process. I still need alot of help and im not afraid to ask. The difference is im willing to get my hands dirty to try my best to make the required changes. I have failed more times than i can remember, but thats all part of it.
If you make a mistake.... WHO CARES. Just download it from the site you got it from originally and start again or make a copy on your desktop that doesn't get altered.
Im sorry if i sound harsh but please understand it makes all the difference if you respond to a question and people attempt to do what is required. When a question is asked, and an answer is given, then only a few posts later the same question is asked again negating the answer.... what do you think that person thinks. He thinks 'why bother answering it in the first place'.
Im sorry if you think what i have typed is harsh. Not meant to knock you down at all and im certainly not saying you are stupid. Just try to make the mod, ask a few questions and we will start from there. You can only go forwards. After a while, you will certainly start to understand the basics of coding and make small mods yourself. Whatever i can do to help you learn, i most certainly will. Im sure others will jump in too. Thats what its all about.
Best of luck. Please, just download another copy of mgrid and we will go from there. Sorry for the long response but i think i needed to clarify the reasoning behind my original repsonse and clear up any misunderstanding.
Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.......

This is Ozzies update with Reliableorder function.
I have added the input to increase the final increment size.
The minimum setting should be 1. Anything less then that and the sequence will close in loss.
It is calculated on a percentage basis. So a setting of 1.2 gives you 20% extra pips of 1 increment size. ie if your increment is 30 pips, then setting of 1.2 will make the final increment = 36 pips instead of 30. A setting of 2 will make the final increment 60 pips.
I've been running my own version of mgrid on a live account for a while and not had any problem with it.
The key is not to get greedy and keep you lot sizes small in comparison to the equity.
I start at the weekly open and look for 4 sequence closes before shutting it down regardless of wether that happens on a wednesday or thursday. I never leave any trades open going into the weekend.
I am running it on GU and EY. For GU i am using 0.04 lot size and for EY i am using 0.01. My starting equity was $6k. On average i am netting $4-500 per week....

since atr has been going down have you changed you pips per level?
If you plan on using the plasmapants EA with the extended tp/sl and orderreliable settings, please don't forget to also copy the orderreliable.mqh in post #463 into the 'include folder'. Needs it to work.
The 'include' folder is located within the experts folder.

The last 2 weeks have given fewer closes than usual and required a bit more manual intervention to takeprofits. Usually the market is busy in the beggining of the week and lazy at the end, this last couple of weeks hasn't seen much action until Fridays.
This is the first weekend i've gone into with a trade open.

Could you insert it here, or is it a comercial indicator?

Its all live.
My balance has reached $10700 in 6/7 weeks, so its not bad going.
Starting equity was $6600. First week traded 0.01 lots. 2nd week traded 0.03. 3rd week 0.04 and then upwards. Currently trading 0.08 lots.
Do not get greedy. Have enough equity and small enough lot size so that you can survive a 1000 price swings. Do not leave the ea to its own devices. It still needs manual intervention at times. Find a broker with mini accounts and preferably fixed spreads. Then enjoy the fruits of your labour!
I haven't been able to fully test Ozzies update. I only had a couple of hours with it before market closed on Friday, but if it works i'll be using that from now.
I have a lot more ideas on how this ea can be made even more profitable. I'll post later tonight if i get a chance.
Ahhh plasmapants just read your thread u opened about birmingham traders! I go uni there just got back yesterday after a weeklong trip to see friends doing resits...you anywhere near Selly oak?

im demoing your latest version of the mgrid ea. ill update everyone on my results. and yes, it does open up with a larger third level thanks to that extra setting. not that good with math, but it should increase overall profits big time!
