Hi guys,

First, this is my first post. Been watching for a while though. Wanted to report that I am using the following settings on EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDCAD, AUDUSD, and USDJPY. This is a live cent account.

As you can see, it is not multiplying by 1.2 even though I can order any size from .1 and up on this account. I think this is a bug. Maybe it's using the minimum as a step value assuming that if the minimum is .1 then the step must be too but that isn't the case. In any case, it's a bug.

I will keep you guys updated on the progress

open lots：
lots * (multi_factor ^ 2)

eg.
first open :0.1
second open:0.1*1.2*1.2=0.144(0.044 maybe cut)=0.1
third open:0.1*1.2*1.2*1.2=0.1782(same)

This is how it should work. It needs to be a text file because ff editor doesn't preserve my tabs even when I use the space bar.

It's possible that in step 4 that it will multiply by the last lot (so it would be (0.14 * 1.2) but I think that it is not doing this because then in the case of 0.01 * 1.2 it will always be 0.1 and I saw that this isn't the case on a demo.

Check with your broker - It seems that on live account, he do not allow lot smaller the 0.1. In this case results will be rounded to the nearest 0.1 lot.

I repeat, my minimum Is without a doubt 0.1 and that is not my issue. My issue is that while I cannot order 0.01 lots, I can order 0.11 and 0.12 and so on. Therefore the next order after 0.1 in that scenario should be 0.12. Generally speaking, there should be no need for checking with your broker as all info is available in the platform. I will attach a script that gives a lot of info for when you guys are trying to figure out what is allowed. Again, this is a cent account so 0.1 lots is really 0.001 lots so I have no problem with the minimum. What I think GT has done is assume that your minimum is your step which is a big mistake. Once again this is a script and you can see from it that mt4 gives you access (as a coder) to the step amount and all kinds of other info.

That is very interesting. So you are able to order 0.12 lots even though your minimum is 0.1 lots. Looks like your broker has smaller step sizes. For me, 0.01 is minimum, and I cannot order 0.012 lots. And you may be right that GT code automatically rounds down to the smallest lot (0.1) increments. If it had been left unrounded (in the code), then it will work for you.

That is correct and it's not sooo strange. JFD used to be that way on some pairs before they started allowing 0.01 minimum. As a coder, to me it's a stone left upturned. I have code that is used for mm calculation that has a lot step section in it that I am sure could be used but for that GT would need to put it in the code. He seems to not be here very much

The interesting thing is that to make the step calculation you need a number. I don't know why he didn't use the lot step instead of the lot minimum. It's very strange.

I keep editing my posts. Oh well. Regarding the rounding, you must round lots in the code. If you have .1 * 1.2 which is .12 then that will work but then .12 * 1.2 will be .144 and that won't work. What he did is he took the min lots and figured that was good enough for rounding but he needed to use the lot step number instead. That is what it's there for. The min is just to make sure your lot size is not too small and then the lot step is to make sure the order has good increments.

Can not double every 0.01 increase in orders!
For example, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08......

I just got the error: Matrix Grid Trading CE 1.1 GBPUSD,M1: Alert: GBPUSDMGTCE: Can't trade on real account. Please update your version.

I would update my version but as far as I can tell, 1.1 is the latest version and that is what I have.

Yeah the EA throws out a lot of error messages like that. They don't seem to effect the operation so I just ignore them.

I think the idea of keep step =10 and TP = 10 will keep u remaining in the trade too long , it will go back one day and hit TP, but needs patient and leverage.

Look at GT explorer above and u will get what i mean

I just had an idea of how the whole issue of trend change could be handled but it will take GT to change the ea a little. I don't think it's something you could do manually. Let's say the trend is up and it switches to down and when that happens, you have 10 trades totaling 30 units. What the ea would do is hedge those 30 units and starts trading on the short side. If it switches back up then the hedge would be removed and the ea would hedge the long side. The ea would have to keep track of everything such as profits from closed hedges and there could be some whipsawing but I think overall this would keep accounts alive. It would probably be easier from a coding perspective if there was a long ea and a short ea but that is obviously up to GT.

Another thing I was thinking was that the ea should have an option for counter trend tp as it does for the multiplier. I think most will be happy just for break even when the trend goes the other way.
