Hi All, I've been working on this EA separately, and would like to share to you (as promised) some small interesting information after few days testing. {image} Seems promising and better than Tunnel Martingale, well, in my opinion. I don't deny the risk behind (we all do trading, then we should accept the risk), but still less risk than Tunnel Martingale. I don't know what to give name to this EA, but as of now, named as GridTraps. Even I do on LIVE account for past 3 days. Too brave, huh?? {image} I'm planning to create a separate thread. Do you...

I am always ready to test new ideas but please provide more info about the logic of this Grid method. I will do manual testing in worst scenarios.

{quote} Hi radityo, Will it be possible to enchance your EA to include these two features? Sometimes we may fall into the range bound for long and we want to maximise our stay in the game by reducing the lot sizes. Once the price get out of the range usually should not be a problem to run 2xSL or higher. May I suggest to have the following type of lot size increament, or similar. The following table SL=10 is just example, it can be X pips or points user set. {image}
Hi TickJob,
I may not enhance the EA to another level. But your idea seems considerably ok. Not sure whether I can enhance more, since it is already "too much settings" words coming out from my mind...

Thank you for the overwhelming responses.
I'll make another thread for this EA (this weekend), and will get your help to test it out. I'll put the details on that new thread. For those who are wondering, actually this is an old grid method, which has been discussed and some created free EA (free at first) but then ......... everything changed when the fire nation attacked!

Give me some time to wrap the EA up, so it will be more clean.

Just for sharing, the reason why I'm choosing "that" broker over the others...

The reason behind is because of slippage. Yes, that f**king slippage.
When you do a test on demo account, performance seems good, and orders are properly executed at the requested price. Orders was executed faster, and all, and all....
But when you start doing it on live account, performance is very bad, and orders got a quite big slippage. This BIG slippage is even applies for limit orders and stop orders, and even applies when you set slippage to zero or no slippage to the order. I'm a bit disappointed with the other brokers, and this slippage seems unacceptable.

But so far, "that" broker seems ok even with live account. Performance is over the bar, and slippage is not too disappointing.

My 50 cents: please be careful when you start trading with live account.Do recognize your broker, including slippage.

Hi radityo!
I would like to know about the set files configuration, your SNR setting is for 5digits broker right?
I wanna try it on 4 digits broker, is there another variable do I need to change beside this?:

MartingaleGap=100 -> change to 10
PointsTarget=200 -> change to 20
PointsLoss=200 -> change to 20

I will play around with another variable later, just want to make sure i'm on the correct track to try this at 4 digits broker..


and for your another EA, I'll support that. Hope together we will fix the bugs and build better EA.

thanks!

33 lots was because of the market didn't move much at that time. This is the main dangerous issue with martingale tunnel, and I do recognize that since the first loss of my demo account. It was not suppose to execute many cycles in a day. Though my SNR is for 4 cycles a day, maybe I should mark down the setting to 1 cycle a day.

Hi Bro,
This EA should only be used by selecting the right entry point in which the market start to move away from ranging, never mind which direction, the bigger the move the better, even choppy also welcomed as long as it move more than 2-3 times your gap setting.

NEVER NEVER NEVER let it run automatically blindly throughout any time period, unless the EA can automatically identify the big move and then start the cycles(we do NOT need to catch the very beginning of the move). For testing and exploring is OK to let it run automatically, BUT actually no point to test it this way, because we know that it sure fail at certain point when stay in ranging long enough. We should put our efford in improving our entry point, either manually or automatically.

Your suggestion to start the cycle at X price in version 1.10 is the very suitable feature for this startegy. Looking forward to have this feature soon.

Thank you.

Could someone advise how to modify the EA to add "Manual Mode" to start every cycle as shown the following screenshot. When EA running, it display BUY, SELL, STOP buttons.
1. press either BUY or SELL to start the cycle,
2. while the cycle is running(1,2,4...), we can press STOP button to close all position.
3. Repeat 1 after cycle automatically stop with profit or manually stop.

Good idea, or we could try this:
1. Run this EA on the most volatile pairs ( could be the Beast GBP/NZD or the Dragon GBP/JPY or anything else )
2. Turn on this EA only during London Open till London Close

Today just start testing the "Start Any Time" version. First cycle go up to 32. Second cycle seem to have problem, it does not execute 0.08 lots Buy-Stop order. What is the problem?

This is the old classic issue. When you set the Gaps too low, and the price like going up and down in less than 1 second within the gap, actually EA is trying to open BUY STOP order, but it was too late, the price already moving upwards.

I'm hardly agree with the idea of button. but I don't have any reference how to do that. MQL4 is very limited if we want to implement a button. probably we can play with Global Variables?
