100% Win Math Grid Ea

hi, i was looking into this strategy and wondered,

3 levels, (b) buystops (s) sellstops, assuming an equal pip distance between them

e--(b)tp(s)sl
3(b)
2(b)
1(b)
--
1(s)
2(s)
3(s)
f--(s)tp(b)sl

wouldn't a losing scenario occur when the price moves to 2(b) or 3(b), then reverses to 3(s), then reverses back to e, (b)tp(s)sl ?
or , in the reverse direction, moves to 2(s) or 3(s), then reverses to 3(b), then reverses back to f, (s)tp(b)sl?

a simple calculation to work this out, assuming distance between each interval above is 25 pips, and the default lotsize of 1

when price hits 1(b), 1 lot
(b) status, 1 - 0 lot, 2 - 1 lot, 3 - 1 lot
(s) status, 1 - 2 lot, 2 - 3 lot, 3 - 4 lot
when price hits 2(b), 1 lot
(b) status 1 - 0 lot, 2 - 0 lot, 3 - 1 lot
(s) status, 1 - 3 lot, 2 - 5 lot, 3 - 7 lot
when price reverses to 1(s), 3 lots
(b) status 1 - 1 lot, 2 - 2 lot, 3 - 4 lot
(s) status, 1 - 0 lot, 2 - 5 lot, 3 - 7 lot
when price moves to 2(s), 5 lots
(b) status 1 - 2 lot, 2 - 4 lot, 3 - 7 lot
(s) status, 1 - 0 lot, 2 - 0 lot, 3 - 7 lot
...
...
when price moves towards (e)

total pips
from stops - 5*150 + 3*125 = 1125 pips
from buys - 2*75 + 4*50 + 7*25 + 1*75 + 1*50 = 650 pips
loss of - 475 pips!

am i missing something?
Thanks for this ea viper, I have had it undergoing tests for the past couple of weeks, and it's quite impressive, even in default form.
I was hoping someone might help me to understand the low and high water level feature. I am not quite sure how it works and am probably just not understanding it from the doc file.
I saw mention of someone setting low to 5% high to 15% but with this setting what does it really mean? 5% of what and it will start trying to close out trades in small profit?
I am running my forward test on a 5k account, all pairs and default settings on the ea (only recently changed trend setting to true). .01 starting lotsize.
If I set low water mark to 5%, what exactly will trigger the ea to go into protect mode in this case?
Thanks for any help. I am very impressed on what this is returning and the safety thusfar.

Congrats Tazmaan!

What settings have you been using in order to achieve the good results before you changed the trend setting to true?
bnbb, total default settings. Figured until I totally understood what each setting actually did, I'd start out with default. Pleasantly suprised.
I'd really like to understand the watermark levels however, hoping someone can help explain.
How about running it on Fridays with NFP and big lots
I am having problems loading vipergrid...any suggestions...I have loaded attachment the normal way in the experts file, but it won't load onto chart???
I've skim read this thread and am doing some backtesting (as well as forward testing) on some pairs to undertsand how this EA works and what the variosu variables do and there affect.

I'm not that familiar with EA backtesting...how do you avoid it closing al positions at the end and thus having heavy losses when it does this and obviously giving distorted results in the report and drawdown figures?
really no way around that with this type of ea, it operates with a floating loss until trade groups are closed. Only thing you can really do is either extend or shorten your test period by as many days as it takes to be able to close that trade group out at be or a smaller loss

How did you get the EA to work in the first place, I have loaded it properly but can't place it on the chart???

Try checking posts 975 - 980. They may have the solution.
We all see the same dream, just from different viewpoints
This might be a stupid question, but what time frame is recommended for the EA...does it determine the trend and volatility on the time frame you have the chart set to or is it applied to a set time frame no matter what time frame are set on the charts?
Hi Traders
I put the latest Viper version on a GoMarket Demo account about 3 weeks ago and gave it $300.00, not much, but wanted to see what it would do. I left everything at default and let her rip. While, I must ahve picked the wrong time to start as the next day my acount was down to $150.00, but I just let it run. At the present time I am back to $360, so even after that very bad DD it managed to come back. Could get scary with real money though and a larger account. Pobably the best idea would to take money out of your account once you reach a certain level.

Good Luck
Hi,

One I load the EA onto the charts, my MT4 crashed. Anyone has any idea why it happened?
To run vgrid you need the orderreliables file in your mt4 includes folder.

Hey Viper, you've not logged in for a while, hope all is well.

I've been running vGrid on GU, using 3 levels and 22 pip increment. That gives a tp of 88 pips from the pivot and a trading range of 172.

I've been toying with the idea of reducing the trading range, hence increasing the probability of a strike and came up with the idea of using a double math grid.

By way of example, above the pivot you would have 3 increment levels, and below the pivot you would have 2 increment levels.

On a 22 pip increment, the trading range is reduced to 150 pips.

On a 20 pip increment, the tr becomes 140 pips, and on a 15 pip increment the tr becomes 105 pips.


It will have the obvious diasadvantage of adding open positions more quickly, but narrowing the trading range and strike point could well justify the effort.

Your thoughts gentlemen.

Having a small trading range on this system will cause many lots to be opened during a ranging market. Also, the maths behind this system is not solid, check several pages before where I showed a simple ranging scenario where the EA will produce a loss after hitting the tp.

The smaller your range is, the higher the probability of encountering a ranging scenario that I've described.

I've been live with this several months and never incurred a loss due to the math or range sequence.

There is a detailed explanation of the math in mGrid at the beginning of the thread, and also a post by Viper about the way the math works in vGrid mid-thread.

In short, the algorithm keeps adding pending orders until it calculates that a profit will be produced if a reverse swing occurs and tp/sl is hit. The profit should be Lot x Increment x Profitfactor.

mGrid adds the orders beginning at lev1, then 2 & 3. vGrid adds the orders beginning at lev3, then 2 & 1.

Here is almost full code....
It has everything I said previously except my math coding.
Autoincrement, momentum set, full error reporting, full textual info
and warnings, writes a excell file with maxDD, some basic
loss mitigations.........etc

Asterixx get it all wrong....he will understand someday....

Can you please share the settings. I tried running this on EU 15Min tf but doesnt looks like it is opening trades.

Thanks

Would you be kind enough to post your settings? Or you can PM me.

I find that some time i need manual adjustments. If not, huge loss.

Thanks.

Plasmaplants,
How large has the drawdown been since you've been trading it live?
