GRID system with some tweaking

This is my first thread in FF to monitor a system for few weeks before going LIVE


I have been searching for a good EA that will gain 100% per annum with a reasonable risk
I think I have found this EA on the WWI forum. The EA looks really promising on back tests and I will do a forward test for few weeks before taking a final decision
The EA is called Allin TS Hourly Trend which was developed from SWB Grid system by a well-known programmer called MAGIX
It works on the OSMA indicator using the euro and pound 1 minute chart
I will be updating this thread with the results on weekly basis starting from next week. My biggest concern is the DD and hope it will be ok for a grid EA
Stay tuned

Justin.

First week performance along with the set file.

hello and thanks for sharing ..........
Really works well

Hey Justin,

First off, Congrats on getting a thread together and sharing some ideas you found in your searches. Sharing is Caring...

Just to clear things up before they get a little too serious, a well-known programmer, I am not.

I got started here a few years back picking up some ideas on trading and chatting before making my way into the automated world of EA's. I can work with code in a copy and paste sorta way, and even write a little. Drawing a parallel, I am probably closer to being equivalent to a Hack working with photoshop drawing pimples on the faces of school mates than am anything that resembles a coder.

A hobby really.

Glad that you are taking the time to run some forward tests before launching these into a live situation. Would hate to see you make some of the same mistakes that so many others have. Really, keep in mind that the idea of EAs and back testing are to test the consistency of a trading system over a period of time. STRATEGY TESTING.

Really, just stopped in so that people have an idea that what has been posted was a re-work by a fella using CTRL+C and CTRL+V and that this should be taken into consideration prior to working with anything posted in any public forum. Like is said with anything you get for "FREE", you do get what you pay for.

Additionally, I did add another edited version, will attach along for your testing as well...really, ya never know what you can learn by watching one of these things and hey, maybe ya even churn a couple of bucks for your efforts.

Thanks a lot for your contributions, Magix.

Can you please tell me what period of time does the profit graph cover? Also, can you explain what the 2 inputs, lot_multiplier_2 and lot_multi_2_level are supposed to do?

I am a big fan of the SWB Grid EA that Totom Sukopratomo coded some years ago and would love to tinker with your two versions.

I thank you in advance.

Alfredo

Hi Justin, Magix,

On which pair is this EA supposed to work ?

Here are my backtests on EURUSD starting from 2008 and with 10K as start balance.
