Hello Viper!
Thank you for your effort in improving this EA.
I have a question. In the coding you have "MaxSpreadToOpen"=10, but on the external settings we see MaxSpreadToOpen=true. Is this correct?



Thank you

Still recovering from my scare earlier. Attached is my end of week equity curve. This shows the last three days. Liquidation started at about 1800 gmt.

...still haven't come down from the addrenaline rush earlier on, so here are some things i have noticed on the orignal mgrid ea. i really believe in this thing, its earning its keep, but i never want the same experiance to happen again.

if you adjust the tp/sl whilst the ea is running, it appears to add more pending orders to the opposite side of the grid. i am not sure why it did this. was it interuppted by me adjusting the tp/sl manually.

if you close one of the open trades while the ea is switched on it closes various open trades. it looks as though when i closed trades on buylevel 2 it started closing all the other trades at buylevel2 and selllevel2. and also pending orders from those levels. the other trades were left untouched.

viper, could this be something in the orignal code, or is it the way mt4 deals with an ea being interupted. if its something to do with the orignal code then will it effect vGrid also?

ive had a pretty messed up week as well. it had more to do with the broker being offline and quoting a invalid acct then anyting. ive had trouble with the new mod ea. that orderreliable function seem to make it unreliable. anybody else got the same results?

killz: i tested your setting for ey. from my experiance your increment levels are way to close together.

i am still testing vipers grid. so far so good. could do with input for starting price and lot size for when i start using it live.

With regards vGrid ea i have noticed the following.


If you change %equity so that the first orders placed are for eg 0.04, then the pending orders it places on the opposite side of the grid once a buy/sell level is taken should be 0.04, 0.08, 0.12. vGrid continues to place orders 0.01, 0.02, 0.03.

This would result in a loss on any closed sequence.

vGrid works fine for its default setting of 0.01 increment.

Hey Everyone,
Sorry for the brief absence, got swamped with other things. I am releasing version 2.

1. It fixes a couple minor bugs, like maxSpreadToOpen. It also keeps the the grid definition parameters fixed for the duration of a set, so you can't change them on accident or purpose. When you change timeframes or edit input parameters, MT4 kills the program and restarts it resulting in odd behavior in some EA's. Should be fixed now.

2. Added a new parameter for first level offset in pips - value of zero should behave like before.

3. Also added maxSetEntryCount which allows you to determine the max number of sets which can be exececuted for the given time window. IF the time window is not set (it is infinite), it will limit to the count and stop (setting ==1 is like having the old "continue" flag set to false).

4. Expanded the time window definition to include days of the week. So if you set a time window, it will apply to each day which is set to true.

I think that is it... I have run some quick and basic tests to find any potential bugs, but nothing rigorous, so please test away and let me know ASAP if you think you have discovered a bug.

On the bad news side, the testing I have done seems to indicate that the "Death Trade Mitigation" strategies don't mitigate enough and you can still end up with large losses. Be careful, test a lot before going live, if ever, and only trade with money you can easily afford to lose !

Thanks !!
Good Trading
Viper

Thanks Plasma, I will look into that. I updated to version 2 prior to seeing your post. I will try to replicate that behavior in V2, and if it still behaves badly, fix it :-) Feel free to replicate in V2 as well and let me know.

Thanks again!
Trade Well !!

Viper

can you add a 'starting price' input to vGrid. It should make it easier to get the multigrid initiated.

I plan to run it on demo when the Market opens Sunday. I'll post the login & investor pw here so that everyone can follow it's progress.
It's doable, but you have to be careful because I think a "second set" with the same initial price will automatically close everything. It will think it found a closed trade from this set (really last set based on initial price) and close the current set. So I'm not sure how to proceed to prevent that.

It is currently not a problem because the odds are low and if it did occur it would simply delete the current pending orders and place new ones a few seconds and a few (likely) pips later. But if you force the initial price to be the same you may NEVER get a second set. You may get an infinite loop of creating and deleting orders.

Think about it...

What i understand from "maxSpread" is as you wrote before
"Once a trade set has begun, every order is placed using the same spread so all TP/SL orders will be placed the same."
Ok what in case spread is not same that time when one order level is triggered and now ea nees to place 3 trades !
I mean timings can be very volatile and spread may not come to normal (or original spread)


Regarding 2nd,
Can you kindly explain What does "max number of sets" actually mean
infact i am confused with term set!

Just did a quick test.

V2 is still placing pending orders incorrectly when you increase the lot size.

This time, a buy was taken and it only placed one pending order at sell level 3. the size of the order is correct this time, but orders at s1 and s2 are missing.

Viper,

Could it be the %equity calculation which is causing the problem? Rather than having this, perhaps to just have a manual input for lot size?

OK, thanks. I'll figure out why that is happening and fix it. I'll also add comments to the header section explaining what the input parameters do because I'm still getting a lot of questions. V2.1 on the way soon!! :-)

Heres my latest equity curve.

Small moves most of the week, but some nice closes today on yen pairs.

1 week, i should be so lucky! this ones been going for about 9/10 weeks.


ps. did you notice how i had a 38.2% retrace last week and bounced right off it making a higher high. i'll take that as a good sign for a strong uptrend.

haha damn I see. Can't say I did notice it I'm afraid I was so put off my higher timeframes due to EU's constant rallying! So stuck to 1m and found some success...

How come it took so long to see profit? Wouldn't the standard 100pip interval grid with a 1000pip limit be more profitable?

Viper,

Could you do a version of mGrid with only the following functions.

1. 4/5 digit broker auto recognition
2. reliable orders/fixed price pending orders/tp/sl
3. profit adjust tp/sl
4. 1st level adjust

Thanks for your help.
